ABOUT

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it necessary for the University of the Philippines to be flexible with its mode of delivery of learning. For the Academic Year 2020-2021, UP will adopt “remote learning and/or the blending of remote and face-to-face learning, if the public health situation allows” (OVPAA Memorandum No. 2020-68, p2). Either blended or remote, the new mode of delivery requires all enrolled students to have access to computer technologies and Internet connectivity.

While many students have their own computers, more than 5,600 UP students are in danger of not being able to continue their education, because they cannot afford this technology and the tools that have now become integral to learning. Around 1,600 of them have no resources at all, and for at least 4,000 more, sustained use of technologies is no longer feasible because the pandemic has rendered their households financially vulnerable.

In view of the need to ensure every UP student is equipped with the required remote learning tools from the time they first enroll in the University until they graduate, the UP System is embarking on a new endeavor, the Kaagapay sa Pag-aaral ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan or #KaagapayUP Fundraising and Resource Generation Campaign.

The term kaagapay, which means being by one’s side or alongside, connotes support and care from an individual who desires to help others achieve their goals. A Kaagapay ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan is a donor or benefactor who may be a student, faculty, staff, alumni, interest groups, associations, profit or non- profit organizations, government, or non-government organizations, committed to helping financially-challenged UP students and their families.

The University of the Philippines asks for your support in enabling our Iskolar ng Bayan to move forward and ultimately reach their goal of graduating. We are asking you to be their Kaagapay, someone who shares their burden and eases their struggles—in these difficult, rapidly evolving times.

With your donations, our students will receive the computers or laptops and internet connectivity they need toward earning their degrees.

UP: Each College Student Needs Up To P110,000 For Remote Learning; Support Sought For The Disadvantaged

On Tuesday, July 21, the University of the Philippines launched an initiative to help students who are expected to face challenges with UP’s shift to remote learning next semester.

“Ang ating mga mag-aaral, bagaman matalino at maparaan, ay hindi magkakatulad sa katayuang pinansyal, pribilehiyo, at iba pang pangangailangan (Our students, though bright and resourceful, do not have the same situations financially and in terms of privileges and other needs),” UP president Danilo Concepcion said during the launch of the program.

He noted that a total of 5,600 exceptional and deserving UP students would find it hard to keep up with the transition to remote and online learning once classes open in September.

Concepcion said this is beyond the control of the students, and the circumstances are definitely not their fault. “Samakatuwid, 5,600 iskolar ng bayan ang maiiwan at mapag-iiwanan (Therefore, 5,600 national scholars will be left out and left behind),” he noted.

According to UP, around 1,600 of its roughly 60,000 students in different campuses do not have the resources to acquire a computer and stable internet access.

Another 4,000 students belong to households categorized as “vulnerable,” or those whose incomes cannot fully support these needs due to the effects of the pandemic.

Called Kaagapay sa Pag-aaral ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan or #KaagapayUP, the project aims to raise funds to provide financially challenged students with their own laptop computers and internet connectivity that can help them access UP’s remote learning courses next semester.

UP launches fund drive to help students cope with remote learning challenges

In the virtual launching of the campaign, UP President Danilo Concepcion said the university has already adopted remote teaching and learning for academic year 2020-2021 with the possibility of blended remote and face-to-face learning in courses with discipline-specific skills such as laboratory or practicum, provided public health requirements are met.

However, Concepcion emphasized that not all students can effortlessly adapt to these changes and there are those who could not afford the necessary equipment to take advantage of remote learning.

“Of the at least 60,000 in the UP System, 1,600 are estimated to be incapable of purchasing laptops, personal computers, and paying for internet connection, while 4,000 are among the so-called financially vulnerable households where the combined income of family members is not enough to meet technology-related needs,” Concepcion said in Filipino.

To respond to these needs, the university has launched its “Kaagapay sa Pag-aaral ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan” or the #KaagapayUP program which aims to raise funds to provide financially challenged students with their own laptop computers and internet connections that can help them access UP’s remote learning courses.

#PisoParaSaLaptop: Students seek help for online learning

On July 21, the University of the Philippines (UP) launched Kaagapay, a donation drive that aims to help its students with the technological demands of online learning.

UP said that almost 5,600 students of the university may not be able to continue their education for the coming school year due to lack of resources.

“They cannot afford the technology and tools that have now become integral to learning. Around 1,600 of them have no resources at all. For at least 4,000 more, sustained use of technologies is no longer feasible because the pandemic has rendered their households financially vulnerable,” UP said.

UP Says Each Student Needs At Least P110,000 For Online Classes

Remote learning and online classes have become part of the new normal. But, it’s not even a viable option for a lot of Filipinos. In fact, according to the University of the Philippines, more than 5,600 of its students can’t afford to do so.

The university has done the numbers to calculate the cost of supporting the typical UP student. Each student will need at least P110,000 to go through four years of tertiary education. P30,000 will go to a laptop with suitable specifications, while P80,000 covers the cost of internet for four years.

With this realization, UP has launched the Kaagapay sa Pag-aaral ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan project. Through donations, the project aims to help financially challenged students. access UP’s remote learning courses on platforms such as UP’s Learning Management Systems, Zoom, Google Classroom, Edmodo, and others.

We do not want to cut short the discovery of intelligence through learning and research. And if anyone is in danger of being left behind, we will find a way to make sure they are with us. That even one of our iskolar ng bayan would be left behind is painful to me. That is why we will find ways, to the best of our abilities, to ensure that they are with us in our journey toward progress,” the university said.

UP vice president for academic affairs Cynthia Rose Bautista says that “intelligence may be normally distributed, opportunities in this country are not.” She adds, “We cannot allow the highly unequal structure of Philippine society to further disadvantage these students in the time of COVID.”

UPHSI students receive 175 laptops

When it was announced that there would be no face-to-face learning in schools, iAmUPHi immediately mobilized to procure laptops under its “Learning Devices Campaign Project,” – which is aligned with the “KAAGAPAY PROJECT” of the UP System led by President Danilo Concepcion. This is also consistent with the ISKOmpyuter project of UP Visayas. The initiative received a big boost when retired Supreme Court Justice Francis Jardeleza gave his full support to the drive by rallying his jubilarian class of 1965 and other high school batches in the call for donations. iAmUPHi was able to procure 175 laptops in record time through its funds, contributions, and donations from its membership and other well-meaning individuals and companies. The laptop donations empowered UPHSI and its students to quickly transition to remote and online learning, which is consistent with the vision of iAmUPHi when it was conceived three years ago – to bring educational content to the unserved and underserved members of the Philippine population – a goal which is fully supported by the newly installed UPV Chancellor, Dr Clement Camposano.

IRIDESCENCE

UP Los Baños Choral Ensemble’s 30th Anniversary Celebration: Empowering Communities, One Song at a Time

It all began when a bunch of UP Rural High School Glee Club performers decided to pursue their love of choral singing in college. 30 years later, we continue this legacy— empowering communities, one song at a time.

And so, the UPLB Choral Ensemble (UPLBCE) proudly presents Iridescence: The 30th Anniversary Celebration. Iridescence is about shifting the spotlight and changing the angle to reveal the people who have supported the group through the years, those who we regard to be our luminous iridescent lights. We are inviting everyone to join us in October as we celebrate our anniversary by devoting segments and performances to all our friends, fans, family, members, mentors, and partners who have inspired, encouraged and helped us bring out our iridescence for the past three decades.

With the objective of empowering communities through our music, UPLBCE is partnering with the initiatives of Kaagapay sa Pag-aaral ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan (Kaagapay UP), UPLB Agapay, and Stairway Foundation, serving as our beneficiaries for the month-long celebration. Donation Channels will be displayed in our shows in order to help raise funds for the advocacies of these organizations.
