ABOUTTHECOVER
#Scholarlydone
Scholarly writing is generating new
knowledge. This is because of the writers’
discoveries and investigations. Let the result
disturb the minds of the people. Let it disturb
the society.
When you write, begin with a clear direction. Make it short
and concise but direct to the point. Pen scholarly done paper. Can
you recall all your paper works from the time you entered graduate
school or post-graduate school? Do you realize that your works may
not qualify as scholarly done? Review them. Is the content of your
paper from your own knowledge? Or is it from copying and pasting
the works of others? Or is it about synthesizing the work of other
scholars? Your answer maybe a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. A scholar should cre-
ate knowledge, investigate ideas, and discover ne information.
Scholarly writing is about providing solutions to the problem
and later on discovering new problem from the problem itself. What
about the researches at the resource center of the college? Are new
knowledge being presented to organizations or individuals con-
cerned? Are the outputs publishable? Does the college have the
mechanism to utilize the research findings? Or are the researches for
compliance only? The papers are just there – like water ‘left to stand
and settle’. Even the students of the college do not know the result of
the studies unless they are used as reference in thesis or disserta-
tion. Thesis conference and consultation may be an avenue where
research findings and recommendations are presented to different
stakeholders.
From student to scholar – why not? This is possible. USePi-
ans are intelligent and diligent. Working from Monday to Friday and
studying every Saturday starting from 7am to 7pm is indeed a char-
acteristic of a true scholar. Reading hundreds of pages to come up
with a one page scholarly written reaction paper is no simple feat.
You are a scholar if you will make a difference. No to copying and
pasting of other people’s works. Do not limit your imagination. Think
out of the box. Learn to write like a scholar.

ASEAN Integration man-dates cooperation not
competition By Karla Psalm Magno
“ASEAN integration is not about competition but rather col-laboration with the other coun-tries as one region”, Usec. Janet Lopoz of Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said during the forum on ASEAN Economic Community: Implications and Imperatives in Mindanao held last March 7, 2015 at the USeP Gymnasium, Bo. Obrero Davao City. She also emphasized that the “people should think globally, act locally, and respond personally” to attain the purpose of the ASEAN integration. The said forum focused on two topics. The first topic was dubbed as “Positioning the Phil-ippines in the ASEAN Economic Community” with Usec. Lopoz of MINDA as resource speaker, and one discussant, Engr. Edwin O. Banquerigo, Provincial Direc-tor of Department of Trade and Industry. The second topic was “ASEAN Economic Community: Implications and Imperatives to Higher Education”. The resource speaker was Dr. Susan Labutap, from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) XI. There
were two discussants - Sherwin B. Manuel, Planning Designate of the De-partment of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Sr. Ma. Marissa Viri, RVM, President of University of the Immaculate Conception. “Education is one of the sectors impacted by globalization. Today, it is not simply improving the quality of learning and research in tertiary edu-cation. More importantly, there is a need to develop the capacity to com-pete in the global tertiary education marketplace. A borderless society, cross-mobility of students, workers, and businesses are bound to happen”, Dr. Labutap stressed. The forum was conducted to help address the information, educa-tion, and communication campaign on ASEAN Integration 2015 and to deep-en the appreciation of the students and teachers on the ASEAN integra-tion in the context of business, devel-opment, and public administration. The forum was attended by hundreds of graduate and undergraduate stu-dents and faculty of the College.

equal rights among indigenous peoples”,
Mr. Bagaipo said.

ness Graduate School was declared as
the overall champion of the 2014 Inter-

versity of Southeastern Philippines Obre-
ro Campus Palaro held last August 16,
2014 in Davao City.
This is the first time that the University
had this kind of activity for the graduate
students that aims to establish unity
among students and faculty from differ-
ent colleges.
CGB won the main events such as Vol-
leyball and Basketball. Other games
were team kick ball, tug of war, centi-
pede, and team word factory.
Other colleges who joined the Palaro
were College of Education (CED) de-
clared as the first runner-up, and School
of Applied Economics (SAEc) as the sec-
ond runner-up.
According to Prof. Jolly J. Laboy, Univer-
sity Sports Director, all colleges in the
University were invited to join but only
few participated during the day of the
competition. The main objective of the
Palaro was allowing all the graduate stu-
dents to come together as healthy com-
petitive group that will make them recog-
nize USeP as one big happy family.
President, Dr. Perfecto A. Alibin. CGB will
defend its title in this year’s Inter-Graduate

SSC launches the first CGB Thesis Conference
By: Jandryle U. Trondillo
He explained that he was able to cull the
results of his study by first assessing the
status of gender division of labor of the
indigenous peoples residing in the Mu-
nicipality of Nabunturan. Moreover, com-
petitive professors and sufficient library
resources also helped him finish his
studies.
Delegates from different countries con-
vened to present their studies in the area
of public administration.
Meanwhile, the former Dean of the Col-
lege, Dr. Sherlito C. Sable said he ad-
heres to this concept of “University” - that
an institution classified as a “University”
should embody the culture of producing
genuine and quality research papers and
imbibe the core values of the institution.
Dr. Sable also lauded the efforts of the
administration, faculty and staff of the
college for passionately striving to give
the best service possible to the institution
and that it redounds to excellent student
outputs.

ized. He commended the organizing body

According to Edjan Parreño, Chair of the
Thesis Conference, the academic activity
was indeed monumental as it served as a
springboard to organize more conferences
of such in the university.
“It is a huge honor to be part of the organ-
izing body of this very first CGB thesis
conference. It is a humbling experience to
pioneer such a monumental event. This
will definitely become a part of our pro-
jects,” said Parreño.

at the CGB Resource Center with one or
two speakers every session starting last

AACCUP LEVEL 2 A CCREDITED
By Karl Campos
The Master of Business Admin-
istration and Master of Public Ad-
ministration Programs of College of
Governance and Business of the
University of Southeastern Philip-
pines (USEP) have moved a notch
higher by passing the Accrediting
Agency of Chartered Colleges and
Universities in the Philippines
(AACCUP) level 2 accreditation.
The accreditation process which
was held last October 6 to 10,
2014, involved the assessment of
the University’s Vision, Mission,
Goals and Objectives (VMGO),
Faculty, Curriculum and Instruction,
Support to Students, Research,
Extensions and Community Involve-
ment, Library, Physical Facilities,
Laboratories, and Administration.
According to Prof. Aristeo C.
Salapa, CGB Accreditation head,
that the CGB passed common
standards, met qualifications set by
accrediting agency, and was able to
attune with certain demands and
qualifications set by programs.
“The number of accredited pro-
grams from an institution like USeP
manifests better support from Con-
gress, CHED support and agency
nod”, Salapa added. With the
leveling up of USeP, its vision to
become a premiere university in the
ASEAN Region is not farfetched.
