UPPA Situation Report as of September 18, 2006

SITUATION REPORT
Monday, 18 September 2006

WATER: Results of the tests released Friday, 15 September by the Microbiology Laboratory of the Department of Biology are shown below:

APS-Rockwell cistern & overhead tank Potable
APS-Salcedo cistern & overhead tank Potable
Matteo Ricci cistern Potable
ISO cistern Potable
LST overhead tank Potable
AIR overhead tank Potable

The High School MST cistern remains a problem. Water in the cistern failed the test even after the cistern was cleaned. Repairs will have to be done. In the meantime, the High School community is advised not to drink tap water until it passes the potability tests.

PEDESTRIAN FOOTBRIDGE UPDATE: Work on the footbridge is proceeding as scheduled.

Left: The northbound trusses were installed Wednesday night, 13 September.
Middle: Footbridge stairs on the Ateneo side were installed over the weekend.
Right: Stair railings were also installed over the weekend.

Components of the stairs on the west side are scheduled to be installed this week. It is safe to assume at this point that the footbridge will be completed before the end of the month.

To assure the community that the elevation of the footbridge has been raised, University Physical Plant personnel conducted separate inspection and measurement.

Comparison of the existing footbridge near Gate 2.5 and the one being constructed near Gate 3.5 is shown above. Please note that the height of the existing footbridge measured at the center is 4.94m or 16.21’ compared to the one being constructed that are 5.32m or 17.45’. The existing footbridge is longer (53.99 m or 177,34’) compared to the new footbridge (48.58m or 159.39’).

TRAFFIC: So far, nobody has been seriously hurt in accidents during the rush hours at Gate 2 but it has been expensive in terms of damage to vehicles. Non-observance of traffic rules and road courtesy are the main causes of accidents.

Pictures above show the scooter involved in a collision with a car that came from the inner lane and turned towards Gate 2. The scooter driver had bruises. The car driver would have abandoned the injured driver had not the guards insisted that she take the injured driver to the hospital. The injured driver was just dropped and abandoned at the hospital. A hit-and-run case was filed by the injured driver.

The pictures above show a brand new car that was hit at the rear by a van. Witnesses claim that the car turned right without using the turn signal and cut off the van. The accident was reported to the PNP at Camp Karingal for resolution.

Traffic over the weekend was heavy particularly at noon due to the ACET. Many drivers were new and unfamiliar with campus traffic flow. There will be more instances when traffic will be heavy due to scheduled activities, as in the case of the Grade School’s Feast of the Guardian Angel from 28 to 30 September. Best efforts will be taken to manage traffic on and off campus. However, support and cooperation is requested from the community, particularly in observing traffic rules and road courtesy.

SECURITY: At 8:15 a.m. last Saturday, 16 September four armed men held up customers of Pancake House (between KFC and BPI-Family Savings Bank) along Katipunan. In five minutes, the robbers got the cash collection of the eatery, divested customers of expensive cell phones, cash and jewelry. They herded the waiters and customers inside the toilet and made their getaway in a scooter and a scrambler-type motorcycle. Witnesses claimed that the robbers were between 25 – 30 years old, all of medium height and build. They were reportedly armed with 9mm and .45 caliber handguns and allegedly a sub-machine gun. The description of the robbers differed from the description of robbers usually reported along Katipunan.

Among the victims were Grade School parents and parents of students taking the ACET on campus. Precinct 9 personnel responded but failed to apprehend the robbers. Valuables stolen were estimated at over P2 million because of the jewelry taken. The community is cautioned to be wary of robbers along Katipunan. It might be safer to patronize the cafeterias on campus.

Last Wednesday, 13 September a Korean UP student was also held up at 10:35 p.m. on the Marytown side of the footbridge in front of Miriam College. The suspect, who was armed with a knife took the wallet, ATM cards and P1,300 cash of the victim. Based on the description given, the Barangay Tanod identified the suspect as a Marytown resident. The suspect was not home when the tanods looked for him.

When the Gate 3.5 footbridge is completed, a guard will be posted on the Ateneo side. Arrangements will also be made with Barangay Loyola Heights for a counterpart security arrangement on the other side.

On campus, the number of roving guards will be reinforced and additional security lights will be installed to insure security. The community is also requested to be vigilant and to report suspicious persons. Security is everybody’s concern. The incidence of crime traditionally increases towards December.

In the meantime, the community is again reminded to be vigilant in the custody of personal belongings. Shown below is a Toshiba laptop, two binder books and two empty lunch pack inside a lunch bag left on top of a car at the Lower East Carpark found by the guards at 2:00 p.m., 18 September. So far, nobody has reported a missing laptop.

"Buried Stories, Living Legacies: African American Soldiers of the
Philippine American War"

Cynthia Marasigan
U.S. Fulbright Scholar
Doctoral Candidate, Department of History, University of Michigan


on
Friday, September 29, 2006 4:30 to 6:00 pm
Case Study Room, 1/F Social Sciences Bldg.




African American soldiers of the Philippine-American War embraced a
distinctive ambivalence as members of racially segregated troops
fighting against Filipinos striving for independence. Facing the
contradictions of their position, the black soldiers shifted or confirmed
their allegiances by interacting with Filipinos in diverse capacities---as
enemies in battle, as allies via collaboration, as sympathizers through
desertion, as well as in social relationships between black American
troops and Filipinas. The decision of numerous black soldiers to live,
work, and raise families in the Philippines after the war's end further
demonstrated the range of such possibilities. Based on recent fieldwork,
this talk will focus on the often overlooked experiences of African
American soldiers during the war, as well as the social and military
legacies they left behind in the Philippines.

When in Doubt, ASCC: The Ateneo Student Concern Center

ASCC has recently looked into the issue of overcharging of tricycle drivers.

We have forwarded this concern to the Security Office. They have said that the best measure everyone can do against overcharging is to take note of the body number of the tricycle. The body number can then be reported by the complainant either directly to the Security Office or to the ASCC office at MVP 101. ASCC staff would be more than willing to forward this concern to the Security Office.

The Security Office has also said that nighttime overcharging of tricycle drivers is only legal starting 9pm.

When in Doubt, ASCC.

"REGARDING THEIR NO"


25 September 2006
Monday, 4:30-6:00 p.m.
Social Sciences Building Audio-Visual Room
Ateneo de Manila University


Abstract:
As an ontological ambiguity, suicide eludes discourse. While presuming
that the most ethical treatment of suicide may be a vigilance to its
circumstantial possibility in life, the present essay treats suicide first
as a word that flees its temporally distant referent, then as a literary
trope in poems. Understood as a trope, suicide opens to creative
configuration and reconfiguration; to write about it is to invent a
language that could address its impossibility. Donald Justice's "For the
Suicides of 1962" and Frank Bidart's "The Sacrifice" are studied as
variations of a similar address---forms of resistance against the
reductive judgment of the life and death of an other.

Author's Bio:
Marc Gaba graduated Valedictorian of the U.P. College of Arts and Letters.
One of only a handful of Filipinos to obtain an MFA from the University
of Iowa Writers' Workshop, he is currently on leave from the University of
Denver's PhD program in Creative Writing. He was recently awarded the 2006
Boston Review Poetry Prize.

A total of 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered yearly worldwide, and each can take from 2 to 25 years to decompose. This is because of the acetate filters, which are plastic based and thus not easily biodegradable. Furthermore, 80% of all cigarette butts find their way into our water systems through wind and rain, thus detracting from the quality of our drinking water. Toxic chemicals leak from the filters and threaten our aquatic ecosystems. Not to mention, cigarette butts are a fire hazard. Fires caused by cigarette butts claim the lives of around 1000 people and injure about 3000 people each year. The earth is not your ashtray! We must respect the environment and the people surrounding us. So, let us all work together to make our campus cigarette litter-free, by throwing our litter in the PROPER place!

The Sanggunian Says No to Initiative

NO to 'People's' Initiative
Sept 11, Monday, 4:30 pm at COLAYCO Pavilion, MVP
Mass to be celebrated by Fr. Ben Nebres, S.J.
& Fr. Manoling Francisco, S.J.
Public Petition Signing and Candle-lighting Vigil"


The Sanggunian's Stand:
Changing our Constitution requires all of our active participation. It should not be done by a select few nor for a select few and certainly never in haste. The problem is that a majority of us Filipinos are again put in the sidelines, at worst fooled to believe in quick fix solutions, all labeled as the People's Initiative.

We, the Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral ng mga Paaralang Loyola ng Pamantasang Ateneo de Manila, stand to stop the current People's Initiative to change our Constitution.

First, this People's Initiative faces many legal obstacles that its proponents never fully address. According to the Supreme Court, no enabling law for such a process exits. Moreover, even if such a law exists, such a major overhaul of our government's structure constitutes a revision, not a mere amendment. The 1987 Constitution only allows any People's Initiative to amend and not revise. Shifting from a presidential-bicameral system to a parliamentary-unicameral system or changes to Sections 1-7 of Article VI; Sections 1-4 of Article VII; and introducing a new Article XVIII is certainly no minor feat.

Second, numerous instances have been cited of Filipinos deceiving fellow Filipinos just to gather signatures or support for this initiative. In discussions at many areas, many Filipinos are made to believe that changing our Constitution would lead to more jobs, more food in the table, a better economy or to political stability. Sadly however, there is no conclusive evidence that a certain political structure is necessary to address poverty, unemployment or any other pressing issue today. Investors do not even cite a particular political structure to make a certain area more attractive.

Third, Article XVIII entitled Transitory Provisions in the petition contain clauses that give the Interim Parliament and the incumbent President more power than necessary. These provisions authorize the Interim Parliament "to propose amendments to, or of revisions of, this Constitution" (Art. XVIII, Sec. 4.4). This makes the process easier for those in power to change further our Constitution, the very process we are safeguarding now. It also authorizes the Interim Prime Minister "to perform such powers and responsibilities as may delegated to him by the incumbent President" (Art. SVIII, Sec. 5.1). Even if the Interim Prime Minister has executive powers too, this statement clearly illustrates who is superior.
We do recognize the need for constitutional reform but it should always be in a manner that includes all citizens and a more sober review. We cannot afford deceiving our fellow citizens anymore with quick fix solutions for most of us are already disenfranchised, tired and pissed of the burdens we carry despite so many revolutions, presidents, programs. The haste one observes today may also indicate a politics of survival or a notion that it would serve only a few personal or group interests. A bigger and more inclusive review of our constitution is necessary so that the final product would really be a social contract we all will uphold and follow. It should not be through a process that misleads and divides further our nation.

For these, we appeal to the petitioners of this People's Initiative to seriously reconsider.

UPPA Situation Report as of September 4, 2006

SITUATION REPORT

Monday, 4 September 2006



WATER: Cleaning of contaminated cisterns and overhead tanks is ongoing. Nine of the original eleven have already been cleaned.


1.High School MST cistern-31 August
2.ISO cistern-1 September
3.Common & SEC cisterns-2 September
4.SEC A, B & C,PLDT,JG SOM overhead tanks-3 September
5.Matteo Ricci cistern-4 September
6.Salcedo Cistern-5 September
7.APS Rockwell cistern & overhead tanks-6 September

The cistern and overhead tanks in APS Rockwell were contaminated last Saturday morning, 2 September when a guard failed to close the valve while manually filling the cistern. Because it was left open, overflowing water on the floor seeped back to the cistern. The cistern and overhead tanks will have to be cleaned again on Wednesday, 6 September. Water samples will also be tested after the cleaning.



PEDESTRIAN FOOTBRIDGE UPDATE: The revised footbridge work schedule is shown below:



click here to view picture http://www.admu.edu.ph/upp/situation_report/strip040906.htm



The revised work schedule looks feasible and it is reasonable to expect that the footbridge will be completed and ready for use before the end of September 2006.



click here to view picture http://www.admu.edu.ph/upp/situation_report/strip040906.htm



Pedestrian footbridge center island columns were erected early morning of Saturday, 2 September 2006.



DROP OFF & PICK-UP POINTS: There are currently four drop-off and pick-up points for the Loyola Schools. Please see red arrows in the

map below:



click here to view picture http://www.admu.edu.ph/upp/situation_report/strip040906.htm



To improve traffic flow and decongest Xavier Hall’s driveway, two areas are being considered as additional pick-up and drop-off points (blue arrows). They are:



· The area near the College Chapel

· The AMPC entry & exit door facing Gonzaga carpark



The proposal is to allow vehicles to pick up students after 4:00 p.m. in these areas.



In the meantime, pick-up of students at the Xavier Hall driveway will be allowed after 4:00 p.m. but vehicles will not be allowed to park and wait for students there.



TRAFFIC: The Grade School is fine-tuning a new traffic scheme along the Grade School lane. The new scheme is expected to improve traffic flow.



Accidents on Katipunan are largely due to inconsiderate drivers and their infractions. Early Saturday morning, 2 September a northbound car made an illegal U-turn below the Gate 2 pedestrian footbridge. A northbound taxi smashed into it. See pictures below:



click here to view picture http://www.admu.edu.ph/upp/situation_report/strip040906.htm



The driver of the car was under the influence of liquor. He declared that he was a son of a Colonel and could make the U-turn. The community is cautioned to be on the lookout for reckless drivers.



The Central carpark access road was repaired over the weekend as shown. Traffic flow should be faster with the pot holes now repaired.



SECURITY: A student reported losing P20,000 cash he just withdrew from the ATM, a Nokia N71 cell phone and a laptop inside the College Cafeteria (AMPC) last Tuesday, 29 August. A campus-wide alert was sounded and gate guards doubled-checked pedestrians leaving the campus. The search failed to recover the lost money and equipment.



It was observed that the “victim” was unusually cool despite losing a very large sum of money and expensive equipment. Most victims would be desperate, worried and many would even cry with the loss of a cell phone.



The name the “victim” gave was that of a student known to the Library guards. When the library guards saw the student on the same day, they verified if indeed he lost his money, cell phone and laptop. The student denied them. When the impostor was described to the student, the student identified the impostor as his friend, who may have used his name.



Further investigation revealed that the impostor had even visited Rizal Library, the Office of University Planning and Alumni Affairs to inquire about enrolling in a graduate program and applying for membership in the Order of the Blue Eagle.



All are again reminded to be on the lookout for impostors and intruders. We continue to have losses on campus. Please cooperate with the guards when identification is requested. This is for the safety and security of the community.



PARKING: Approximately 50 cars park near the diversion. A new path walk from the diversion carpark to the JGSOM building is being constructed. Please see pictures below. Lights will also be provided in the area.

Mr. Ambeth R. Ocampo

From the Office of the Vice President for the Loyola Schools

We are pleased to announce to the University community the selection of Ambeth R. Ocampo as one of the Metrobank Foundation's Outstanding Teachers for 2006. Mr. Ocampo is Assistant Professor at the Department of History, School of Social Sciences.

We share with you an excerpt from the Metrobank Foundation's citation for Mr. Ocampo:

"While his column on history is widely read in the paper and online editions of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Ambeth is happiest in the classroom. Despite the heavy workload from his classes--his undergraduate course is much talked about and sought after--he derives fulfillment in using history to mold the minds and characters of his students. He promotes the kind of understanding that stirs them into correcting the mistakes of the past, emulating its glories, building the nation, and creating its future--the usable past becoming a usable present and a viable future. He shares a perspective of history as formative rather than merely informative--he goes beyond the what, when, where, and how of events, and asks, "Why?"

As researcher, teacher, histories, sometime Benedictine monk, academic administrator, and concurrent Chair of the National Historical Institute and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Ambeth has received his share of awards--the National Book Award, Catholic Mass Media Award, Ten Outstanding Young Men, Pambansang Gawad Balagtas Achievement in Writing, and Fulbright Visiting Scholar Fellowship at Kyoto University."

Mr. Ocampo's Metrobank Outstanding Teacher Award gives due recognition to a man who has served the Ateneo and the country in many different ways, and who we hope will do the same for many years to come. We join the Ateneo community in congratulating him on this well-deserved award.

Committee on Student Activities
ASLA
In response to the currently amended ASLA resolution, the Committee is mandated to attend a bimonthly plenary with the core members of this Sanggunian project. This is to allow for a more active participation of the Sanggunian in the planning and execution of the ASLA Congress.
The CSA, except Joanna Arellano, attended the plenary last August 16 and discussed posing issues that concern the participation of the Sanggunian in the applicants’ screening process.
Core members of the ASLA will present in the CB Plenary on August 25 to orient the Sanggunian on the screening process which will require their participation in.
Org Survey
The different organizations and student groups in the Ateneo were asked to accomplish a survey regarding their activities among other things. The committee was tasked to send out and compile accomplished surveys of the different student groups while was COA was tasked to do the same for the organizations.

Most of the groups have turned in their accomplished survey forms; however, the COP and Katipunan have still not given in theirs yet. Although the committee has followed up on these groups, no response from them has been received.

The committee will continue to follow up on these groups. A meeting with OSA Director Miriam delos Santos is set on August 26 to tally and analyze the results of the survey.
Meetings attended:
Ateneo Student Leaders Assembly Plenary August 16 B205 430 to 6
Committee on Student Activities with Sanggunian President Luis Abad Aug 17 Sanggu
Room 430 to 6
ASLA Applicants’ Screening
It is stated in the currently amended ASLA resolution that the Sanggunian take an active role in the screening of applicants.
The 67 applicants who passed the first level screening are up for interviews from Aug 28-Sept1 in the Dela Costa Consultation Rooms. The panel is composed of an ASLA core member, an ASLA alumni and a Sanggunian officer.

The top 40 applicants after the interview process will make it to the deliberations for the final 30 participants. The bottom 10 will be arranged based on their score and will be put on the waiting list. The Sanggunian will also take part in the deliberations
MVP Cafe
Concessionaires for the MVP café are currently applying. Guidelines for MVP use are currently being revised.
The CSA chair and senior member attended a MVP Café Committee meeting last
Wednesday, August 23. LS VP Assunta Cuyegkeng, SOM Dean Rudy Ang and other school administrators also attended the meeting. Possible concessionaires and guidelines for the builiding were discussed.
Another meeting is to be convened soon to finalize discussions on the said matters.
ACP c/o Joanna Arellano, CSA Deputy
The Alternative Class Program was cancelled for this year. Because the previous ACP was left without post-evaluation by its core members who already graduated, planning for this year’s ACP seemed difficult to be pursued. The Sanggunian and members of the ACP team last year decided to postpone it for next year so as to improve the system with which ACP works.
The CSA Deputy Joanna Arellano was tasked to take care of this matter. She has found volunteers to help her look into the possible changes that could be made for a better ACP next year.

A meeting with the volunteers is set this week on Wednesday, August 30, 430 to 6pm in the Sanggu Room.
