TODAY IN HISTORY: Forty-one years ago, former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. was shot to death at the Manila International Airport during his return to Manila from his exile in the United States.

On the broad daylight of August 21, 1983, the whole country was shaken by the tragic end of Aquino's life as he was shot to the ground when he was exiting the plane. In a post-mortem analysis conducted, it was confirmed that the former senator was shot from the back at close range.

Known as one of the critics during the Marcos Sr. regime in the country, Aquino and Pepe Diokno, together with the other opposition members, were imprisoned the day after Martial Law was declared in the country.

After several years of imprisonment and continued resistance against what he believed was wrong, his sentence ended in March 1980 when he suffered a heart attack while in prison. Three years later, Aquino decided to return to the Philippines, where he met his tragic end.

Although his life ended, his death marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Filipino people, serving as a catalyst for change and the pursuit of democracy and justice during that time. Today, his legacy continues to inspire people to uphold these values.

TODAY IN HISTORY: Seven years ago, Kian Delos Santos became a victim of extrajudicial killings during the War on Drugs of the Duterte regime.

On August 16, 2017, a Grade 11 Kian Delos Santos was framed by three policemen for carrying an illegal drug and as they always said regarding these EJ killings, nanlaban. Kian’s body was then found on an eskinita near his house, without a life.

The three policemen who were responsible for the death of Kian were sentenced to prison for murder with no chance of parole on November 29, 2018.

If this tragedy didn’t happen, Kian would’ve been chasing his dream of being a policeman. Now, we can only remember a life that could have been.

LOCAL NEWS: TUP Manila completes ISO 9001:2015 QMS Recertification Audit

Technological University of the Philippines has successfully passed its ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS) recertification audit, an evaluation conducted every three years to ensure compliance with international quality standards.

The audit was held from July 30-31, 2024, at the Admin AVR, facilitated by the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Coordinating Services Office. It was led by Prof. Lyndon R. Bague and Dr. Emilita R. Nuyda, QAACSO’s director and head respectively. The audit was under the supervision of Dr. Connie C. Aunario, VP for Planning, Development, and Special Concern.

The university originally achieved its ISO certification in 2017, performed by the former certifying body TUD-SUV Philippines. Now, with the recertification audit, the process is conducted by W3 Solutions.

In an interview with Mr. Orpia, the technical assistant of QAACSO, he stated that the preparation for the audit was extensive and involved coordination with W3 Solutions. The university's Quality Assurance and Accreditation Coordinating Services Office (QAACSO) preparation includes initiatives such as internal audits, management review meetings, and ongoing training seminars focused on quality management systems.

Mr. Orpia praised the collective effort from all offices, employees, and students, a key factor he identified as the reason for successfully passing Stages 1 and 2 of the recertification audit.

He also highlighted the contribution of the Office of Gender and Development (GAD), stating, "Their documentation was, if I may say the word, supreme; they have all the records needed and were very organized." Also, he commended Ms. Jennifer Alinsunod, GAD’s focal person, for her ability to answer all auditors' questions with corresponding evidence.

However, the audit faced challenges as well. Dr. Nuyda, QA Head, mentioned that scheduling conflicts arose due to simultaneous school activities. Some process owners also encountered difficulties understanding the preparation requirements, which only became clear on the day of the audit. "Saka lang nila naintindihan, eh napakasimple lang, ito lang ‘yon! Ito lang ‘yon!" she stated. Nonetheless, they were able to present the necessary documentation effectively.

Additionally, QAACSO Associate Prof. Angelica Harris emphasized that this recertification is just the beginning of further improvements, aligning the university with international rankings. “All our participation in past Quality Management System (QMS) and Quality Assurance (QA) activities, as well as all upcoming endeavors in this regard, will be highly beneficial to the improvement of the processes and overall operations of TUP,” she stated.

Looking ahead, the QAASCO plans to implement the corrective actions recommended (CAR) by the auditors. They also plan to conduct an internal audit within six months of the external audit and train more internal auditors, as current resources are limited.
