74 Annual Report 2015 Annual Report 2015 75

There is an aggressive drive to build

up our network of partners around

the globe.

This is consistent with our Strategic

Plan that articulates the University’s

thrust of linking up with more

universities abroad in common areas

of interest. Silliman has more than a

hundred partners from across Asia,

Africa, Australia, Europe, Central

America and North America. In

School Year 2014-2015, we sought

to expand this further, with focus on

student and faculty exchange.

It was also in School Year 2014-2015

when we finalized plans for the

University’s student international

recruitment program. Five countries

were listed as priorities: Myanmar,

Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and

Timor-Leste. These are countries

identified for the perceived demand

of high quality yet affordable higher

education in other Asian countries.

Preparations for its roll-out in the next

school year ran alongside continuing

initiatives to undertake career fairs

and student recruitment in high

schools in different regions of the

Philippines. All these were done in

partnership with alumni chapters.

The University also inaugurated

within this school year several

projects that further extended the

breadth and depth of its services.

One of them was the Memory Wall,

a project that commemorates the

life and memory of loved ones who

are Sillimanians. It is envisioned to

generate the needed resources for

both maintenance of the facility and

to help sustain faith-nurture activities

throughout the University done in

coordination with the Church. The

other one is the time capsule and

cornerstone laying of the Portal East

Building.

Several dignitaries have also visited

the campus within this school year.

One of them was former Philippine

president Fidel V. Ramos who

inaugurated the Fidel V. Ramos

Reading Center on the ground floor

of the Robert B. and Metta J. Silliman

Library.

With the push for ASEAN integration,

Silliman is determined to increase its

public visibility and further bolster

its relevance and reach in both the

country and the globe.

Vice President for Development Prof.

Jane Annette L. Belarmino joined

presidents and top officials of 66

universities from 17 countries during

the 13th Asian University Presidents

Forum (AUPF) held October 22 to 25,

2014 in Bangkok, Thailand.

She represented President Dr. Ben S.

Malayang III in the conference that

tackled the theme “Transcultural

Challenges for Innovation in Higher

Education”. The plenary and parallel

sessions focused on transcultural

challenges for innovation in sciences

and technology, health sciences and

nursing, humanity, social sciences

and other academic fields.

The forum also provided an

opportunity for Professor Belarmino

to meet with counterparts from other

Asian universities and explore areas

of collaboration. Her participation

also paved the way for Silliman to

be invited to the Global Access Asia

project.

Global Access Asia is a project

wherein one or two topnotch courses

from the participating universities

will be made available in an online

format to students of AUPF member

universities.

AUPF originated from a friendly

collaboration beginning in December

1999 among institutions of higher

learning in China and Thailand. It now

enjoys a wider network, and has been

instrumental in forming partnerships

among universities in Asia.

Continuing Calamity Response Program

For School Year 2014-2015, 19

students from the different colleges

of the University were recipients of a

special scholarship amounting to PhP

393,443.27 as part of the continuing

aid for students affected by Typhoon

Yolanda. The funds available for the

program has been sourced from

donations either coursed directly to the

University or through the United Board.

The CCRP has initiated the packing

of goods for disaster relief last July

28, 2014. The said packing activity

was well-participated with 120

students from 14 different student

organizations. These organizations

were volunteers by the Student

Organizations and Activities Division

With the push for ASEAN integration, Silliman is

determined to increase its public

visibility and further bolster

its relevance and reach in both the country and the

globe.

(SOAD). A total of 250 relief bags

were packed. Each bag contains:

1 liter of mineral water, 3 cans of

sardines, 2 sachets of shampoo, 1 bar

of soap, 2 pieces of toothbrushes,

2 sachets of toothpaste, 1 pack

of sanitary pads, 2 (brand new)

underwear, 1 short pants for adult

and 1 short pants for kids.

Segregation of donated clothing

temporarily stored at the Industrial

Arts Building located at the Buildings

and Grounds area was also done

last September 20, 2014. 60 CWTS

students were deployed to: check

used clothes donated for tears and

permanent stains and segregate

clothes for adults and children. Of

the 133 sacks of donated clothes, 14

sacks were non-clothing items which

are blankets, towels, bags, curtains,

pillowcases, shoes among others. 48

sacks were discarded as was regarded

as unusable while the remaining 71

sacks were segregated for laundry.

The laundered clothes (704kls) are

now stored and ready for distribution.

Part of the Program’s activities

is the implementation of the

University – wide drill exercises by

the colleges and departments. The

Silliman University Volunteer Fire

and Rescue Unit (SUVFRU) is the

one in charge of facilitating the said

drills. Apart from this, the SUVFRU

has also been instructed to train

the different departments and units

of the University in responding to

emergencies and calamities which

will include firefighting, evacuation

and first-aid.

Student Recruitment

For SY 2014-15, part of the

University’s marketing initiative was

to conduct a nationwide school

to school campaign. More private

schools were visited this year than

public schools. During the campaign,

the University’s Senior High offering

was also introduced.

A total of 65 public and 99 private

high schools were visited this year.

Areas covered were: Davao, Bacolod,

Baguio, Surigao, Cabadbaran, Butuan

City, San Carlos, Iloilo, Antique,

Kabankalan, Tagbilaran, Dipolog,

Dapitan, Oroquieta, General Santos,

Saranggani, Polomolok, Cagayan De

Oro, Iligan, Palawan, Siquijor, Lanao

Del Norte and Negros Oriental. There

were also areas that were not visited

due to bad weather and peace and

order situation.

For schools in Dumaguete City, some

of them were invited for a campus

tour which included a presentation

of the programs and degrees as well

as student services. The Campus

Ambassadors also helped in the

school-to-school campaign by

sharing their campus experience

from a fellow student’s perspective.

The alumni chapters were also

active in assisting the University in

its school to school campaign. They

participated by giving talks about


their experiences as former students

during the campaign, arranging for

the transportation in the area, and

giving recommendation on schools

to be visited. For those areas that

were not visited, the alumni were the

ones who represented the University

during the Career Fairs.

As part of the marketing strategy, the

University has also sent out medals

and certificates to selected schools in

the country. A total of 1,888 Honor

Certificates were given to Top 4

graduating students of 472 schools

and 161 gold and silver medals

were awarded to valedictorians and

salutatorians.

A new recruitment video was

released to aid in the school-to-

school campaign starting January

2015. The said video focused on

the campus life of students and the

various activities they can do within

the 5Cs of Silliman education.

Memory Wall

The Memory Wall aims at sustaining

Silliman’s Christian ministry and

proclamations. It is envisioned to

provide a venue for celebrating the

life of a Sillimanian, in Silliman.

Located in the open area behind

the Silliman University Church, the

Memory Wall’s place is significant

because it is in the same area where

the main access to the Catacombs, a

historical feature of the Church and

in the University, can be found. The

main entrance is strategically situated

between the Silliman University

Church and the Udarbe Memory

Chapel.

A garden will make the space for the

Memory Wall vibrant and conducive

to reunions and fellowships among

family and friends bound by the

common memory of a loved one.

Refitted concrete walls line the

perimeter area, and individual

stand-alone walls will be erected

on certain patches of green. Stone

slabs measuring 16 x 3.5 inches each

installed to these walls make for a

uniform and fine, elegant finish.

Each slab will feature the name of a

loved one who had been to Silliman,

the degree obtained in Silliman and

year graduated. (For those who were

unable to complete a degree, and

those who only spent a year or a

few years in the Elementary or High

School Department, their name will

appear along with the course or level

pursued and the year last attended.)

Sillimanians and friends who wish to

have a departed Sillimanian loved

one’s name placed on the wall, are

encouraged to consider a gift of at

least Php10,000 per name, to the

University’s Spiritual Life Program.

The program will support Christian

witness and faith-strengthening

activities in the University including

programs of Silliman University

Church.

It will also help secure resources

and support capacity-building for

CENTROP staff.

Bristol Zoological Society is a

conservation and education charity

based in the United Kingdom with a

vision to “create a sustainable future

Royal Roads University (RRU)

and Vancouver Island University

(VIU) have officially become the

institutional partners of Silliman

in Canada following a formal tie-

up sealed by Dr. Malayang and his

counterparts in these two reputable

higher education institutions. Dr.

Malayang met and formalized

linkages with RRU president Dr. Allan

R. Cahoon on May 21, and the next

day, with VIU president Dr. Ralph

Nilson. The presidents discussed how

the partnerships can be pursued in

the areas of student exchange, faculty

development and research.

Silliman also became a member of

the International Association for

the Promotion of Christian Higher

Education (IAPCHE) last May 18, 2015.

The IAPCHE was founded in 1975 in

South Africa with the aim of bringing

together reformed higher education

institutions through networking and

mutual exchange. Over the years,

IAPCHE has brought an increasingly

diverse Christian fellowship into

being as it has spread its networks

to all corners of the world and works

with Christians and institutions from

different traditions. It has regional

offices in Costa Rica, India, and

Kenya and the head office is located

at Calvin College in Grand Rapids,

Michigan USA.

Book Launching

A book focusing for the first time on

missionaries and fraternal workers

Chapel.

“Glimpses of Missionaries and

Fraternal Workers at Silliman

University, 1901-1998”, is authored

by 1996 Outstanding Sillimanian in

Chemistry, Ms. Ligaya Magbanua

Simpkins. It is a product of months

of comprehensive research by Ms.

Simpkins conducted both in Silliman

and the United States.

Visit of Dignitaries and Personalities to the Campus

Former Philippine President Fidel V.

Ramos visited Silliman last August 25,

2014. The former President was the

Eminent Person Lecturer at the Claire

Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium for the

113th Founder Day celebration. This

time, he shared his thoughts on the

topic: “The West Philippine Sea Issue:

Our Options as a Nation.”

On the same day, he graced the

opening of the Fidel V. Ramos

Reading Center located on the

ground floor of the Robert B. and

Metta J. Silliman Library. The Center

features books, reference materials,

photos and some memorabilia of the

former President that date back to his

Presidency.

Human rights lawyer Herminio Harry

L. Roque, Jr. addressed an audience

of judges, lawyers and law students

in a lecture on “Legal Nuances to the

Philippine Ratification of the Rome

Statute in the International Criminal

Court” on August 19, 2014 at the

Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium.

The Rome Statute is the treaty that

established the International Criminal

Court (ICC) in 1998 as the first

permanent international court set up

to prosecute individuals for genocide,

crimes against humanity, war

crimes and the crime of aggression.

In 2011, the Philippines acceded

to this Statute when it deposed

its instrument of ratification at the

United Nations in New York.

Atty. Roque shared his opinion that

in order to help end impunity in our

country and the rest of the world, the

ICC must be allowed to step in and

prosecute crimes of genocide, crimes

against humanity, war crimes or

aggression, even when and especially

when State courts do not properly

function as courts of first instance.

This lecture was part of the

Academic Excellence Lecture Series

in the Judiciary, sponsored by the

Supreme Court of the Philippines

and Philippine Judicial Academy

(PHILJA). It was done in partnership

with Metrobank Foundation Inc.,

the Silliman University College of

Law and the University’s General

Education Integrative Learning

Lectures program.

Silliman University inaugurated on

September 25, 2014 the Simulation

Laboratory and Resource Center

which featured life-size robots and

state-of-the-art medical equipment

suitable for both clinical and disaster

response simulation in a hospital

setting.

The new Laboratory was made

possible through a grant of $500,000

from the American Schools and

Hospitals Abroad of the United

States Agency for International

Development (ASHA-USAID). The

grant was given to Silliman through

the United Board for Christian

Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA).

A representative from ASHA-USAID

flew in from Washington, DC to

witness the inauguration. Program

Officer Ms. Andrea Molfetto

visited Silliman for the first time

and expressed excitement over


the prospect of the Simulation

Laboratory contributing significantly

to healthcare education, training

and research in the Philippines. She

described the Laboratory as the

first project of its kind supported by

ASHA-USAID in a university in the

Philippines.

Her Excellency Ms. Ruby Marks,

Ambassador of South Africa to the

Kingdom of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia

and Myanmar visited Silliman

University on November 22, 2014

and had a roundtable discussion

special certificate to Dr. Garry Russ.

Dr Russ is a renowned professor

in marine biology in James Cook

University, with whom Silliman has

closely collaborated for more than

three decades on research projects

on marine reserves, coral reefs, and

coastal resource management.

He was welcomed to the campus by

Dr. Malayang. The Counsellor also

had the chance to meet with other

officials of the University and discuss

issues relative to the University’s

involvement in projects in the areas

of environmental conservation and

good governance funded by the

Australian government.

Veteran broadcast journalist and 2014

McLuhan Prize winner Ms. Cheche

Lazaro was in Silliman last February

2, 2015 for her talk on “Ethics and

Accountability in the Changing Media

Landscape in the Philippines” at the

Silliman Hall. She engaged with

an audience of media practitioners

and mass communication students

from all over Dumaguete. Ms. Lazaro

tackled the issue on changes in

media landscape from the traditional

channels to the social and crowd-

sourced platforms and with it the

need to improve awareness on

ethical practices and

principles of accountability

relevant in the daily

practice of journalism.

Ms. Lazaro’s lecture was

part of an annual Forum

on Responsible Media

organized by the Embassy

of Canada for recipients of

the prestigious Marshall

McLuhan Prize. The Prize

is named after Canadian

communication theorist,

Marshall McLuhan. The

Marshall McLuhan

Fellowship is the

Embassy of Canada’s

flagship public

diplomacy initiative

in the Philippines.

Together with Ms

Lazaro on campus was

Canadian Embassy’s

Political Affairs Officer

Mr. Carlo Figueroa.

Supreme Court (SC) Associate Justice Marvic Mario Victor F.

Leonen gave a talk on how the

Philippine Constitution has been

shaped by a post-colonial flaw in

our national consciousness and

how this manifests in current

pursuits for peace in Mindanao.

The talk was delivered on February

16 at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce

Auditorium. The Associate Justice

discussed “The Constitution and

Post-Colonial Conflict: Anchoring

Peace on Justice” by taking reference

to historical events that revolved

around the drafting of the Malolos

Constitution. His lecture formed part

of this semester’s General Education

80th founding

anniversary.

Last February 16,

2015, Economics

professor Winnie

Monsod visited

Silliman and

claimed that

corruption and

the “feudalistic

economy”

prevailing in the

Philippines are evil and the elite or

landholding composition of Congress

was sustaining that evil. Professor

Monsod spoke to an audience of

mostly college undergraduates

in a forum in Silliman University

sponsored by the Philippine Daily

Inquirer and organized by the College

of Mass Communication. It was

the first such forum held outside

Metro Manila, according to Inquirer

publisher Atty. Raul Pangalangan,

who introduced the speaker. He said

Dumaguete was the paper’s choice

for the forum because of its “vibrant

intellectual life,” a fitting context

for “engaging PDI readers in an

intellectual debate.”

Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for

International Economic Relations Ambassador Laura Quiambao-Del

Rosario talked about the Asia-Pacific

Economic Cooperation (APEC) and its

role in regional economic integration

in a forum on March 17, 2015 at the

Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium.

The Undersecretary’s lecture formed

part of the APEC 101 Roadshow of

the DFA that holds a series of talks

in universities around the country.

It aims to increase awareness of

students, civil society organizations

and other stakeholders about the

APEC and the Philippines hosting and

occupying chairmanship of the APEC

Summit this year.

His Excellency Neil Reeder,

Ambassador of Canada to the

Philippines, together with his

wife Irene Reeder, visited Silliman

University on March 30, 2015

and met with Dr. Malayang. The

Ambassador expressed interest in

working with Silliman University

in exploring areas of cooperation

between Silliman and higher

education institutions in Canada.

He also shared interest in projects

that reflect the common advocacy

of both the Canadian Embassy and

Silliman in community development

and environmental conservation.

Early in March, Silliman was also

one of few universities invited by

the Canadian Embassy and the

Commission on Higher Education

in a roundtable discussion with

representatives from the Canadian

Bureau for International Education.

The purpose of the roundtable was

to share information on how Filipino

students can pursue studies in

Canada and how, in the same way,

their counterparts can do the same in

the Philippines.

Department of Interior and Local

Government (DILG) Secretary Hon.

Manuel Roxas II and Dr. Malayang

met after the forum on the proposed

Negros Island Region held April 21

at the Multi-Purpose Room of the

Instructional Media Center. Secretary

Roxas expressed gratitude to Silliman

for conducting an independent study

on the proposed merger of the two

provinces of Negros Oriental and

Negros Occidental into one region.

The results of the study that Silliman

conducted continue to be considered

in discussions on the advantages and

disadvantages of the “One Negros

Island Region” proposal.

Updates on Portal East

The Portal East building project has

long been envisioned to be part of

the “Twin Portal Building Project

in 2007.” Portal East will stand as

a permanent fixture, mirroring the

same design and structure of its

twin building Portal West, to help

augment non-tuition revenues

and ensure the continuing quality

education of Silliman without the

added burden to its students. The

site is located along Silliman Avenue

beside the University House. The

five (5) story building will have a total

area of approximately 4091.50 square

meters.

Groundbreaking and time capsule

laying were held in August 2014

and construction started in July

2015. Expected completion time of

construction is mid-2016.

The old SU Cooperative store (now

the site of Portal East building) was

transferred to its new location at the

SU Credit Cooperative Building near

Gate 7 in the campus. The replica

Coop building will be rebuilt on

another location inside the campus.

The same outward appearance will

be maintained in the rebuilt structure,

but its interior space will be designed

for use as an Honors Dormitory.
