“We cannot detach our personal life on the global context
lest we lose our spot in the academic community. The PUP
must be an epistemic community – an institution that
produces and manages knowledge – for it to become relevant
in the world.”
Message from the President
Warmest
greetings to all!
First of all I would like to welcome you in PUP, our Sintang Paaralan. Congratulations for now you are all
Iskolar ng Bayan! I myself was once a student of this
beloved university and I know what you are feeling right now.
The excitement coupled with nervousness and some sort of anxiety
are just natural feelings which will soon be transformed,
hopefully, to a passion to be avid seekers of truth and students
of life and society who work for my vision of an epistemic
community.
I would like to reiterate that a liberal atmosphere exists in
the university, wherein ideological, political, cultural and
religious beliefs are upheld and respected. I also encourage
everybody to join any student organization that you like but
such undertakings must neither interfere with nor be a reason to
neglect your studies and other academic pursuits.
As a leader of a new administration, I pledge meaningful
changes for the betterment of the academic community. For the
coming months and years to come, you will be a witness to a new
PUP, wherein, all, including you the students, faculty members,
employees, the alumni and all the stakeholders of this
university will be very proud of. But, I would like to request
that like any member of the academic community today, you should
study my 8-point Agenda so that you can help me in guiding and
leading the university. I need all the support that I can get
for transforming PUP into an epistemic community or a network of
knowledge-based experts who help decisionmakers define the
problems they face, identify various policy solutions and assess
the outcomes.
Again, congratulations and welcome to PUP. God bless us all.
Emanuel C. De Guzman, Ph.D
