Through this training that was led by the PFDA Administrative Services Department – Human Resource Division (ASD-HRD), in partnership with the University of the Philippines – Institute of Small-Scale Industries (UP-ISSI), the agency seeks to help managers learn new leadership techniques and refine old managerial skills to effectively run their respective teams. 

DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña said the agency’s Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) has teamed up with the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman’s Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (IESM) to implement the project seeking to protect the country’s marine mammals.

The project, entitled “Assessment and Mobilization of Research Initiatives on Philippine Marine Mammals (PHLMarMams)” is funded by the DOST-PCAARRD.

UPLB launched its Program for Zoonotic Diseases (or zoonoses) as the world celebrated the sixth annual One Health Day on Nov. 3.

UP President Danilo L. Concepcion, in a written message, acknowledged past research on zoonotic diseases and their contribution to our understanding of animal and human safety today.

Two batches of first year students have already registered in UPLB during the pandemic and most, if not all of them, have not even stepped foot inside the UPLB campus.

They must be raring to go to UPLB. And so does the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (OVCSA).

The Office of Student Housing (OSH) and Office of Student Activities (OSA), which are both under the OVCSA, launched on Oct. 28 the “Open House: Easing Up on Life at Home,” a webinar series to foster the spirit of community and belongingness among students and bring the rich and diverse UPLB culture to every Isko and Iska in the comfort of their homes.
