Bernard Oca FSC expressed gratitude to the community for their work and for reaching the Golden Jubilee of the University Charter. In his message to the faculty, personnel, students, and partners of DLSU, he also urged everyone to recommit to the DLSU education philosophy of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts, Transforming Live</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">s, “a philosophy that springs from timeless and enduring Lasallian values: a Spirit of Faith, Zeal for Service, and Communion in Mission.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UGA, which was held last September 12 at the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also featured messages from Provost Dr. Robert Roleda and Senior Vice President and VP for Administration Kai Shan Fernandez, who shared the achievements and milestones of the past academic year as well as the University’s priority goals and directions for AY 2025-2026.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We were certainly very mindful of this promise when we announced at the beginning of our Jubilee Strategic Planning cycle, that De La Salle University is “Here for the Future”. The question as ever of course remains: What kind of future? Those of us who have been around long enough will know that universities have faced a version of this existential question roughly once every decade,” Br. Bernie said. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teaching Minds</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, he said: “Let us put all our effort, without counting the cost, toward developing knowledge and understanding among our students. Let us gently but steadfastly awaken them to their responsibilities: to society, to our planet, and above all to our Creator.” </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the work of</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Touching Hearts</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, he urged the audience: “Let a more critical understanding of the world result in an overflow of compassion and zeal to build a just, humane, and loving society. Let our ears attune to the call of the poor, the vulnerable, and those on the margins, and let our eyes see them as co-designers of a shared and sustainable future.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pointing out that the work of educators culminates in </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transforming Lives</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, he said: “It is not the work of individuals; the Lasallian way is to labor together and by association, so that our students go into the world ready to be competent professionals, engaged citizens, and yes, prophetic leaders, who will not hesitate to give of themselves, because they know what it is like to receive grace from others.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Br. Bernie likewise highlighted building on “Gratitude for the past, fortitude for the future.” He further called on everyone to exemplify these virtues, toward fulfilling the promise of hybrid learning, first-rate service at DLSU, and using the tools and routines of high-performing teams to get the most out of La Salle’s talents.</span></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img width="1920" height="818" src="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UGA-25-26-Highlights-img2.png" class="vc_single_image-img attachment-full" alt="" title="UGA 25-26 Highlights-img2" srcset="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UGA-25-26-Highlights-img2.png 1920w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UGA-25-26-Highlights-img2-300x128.png 300w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UGA-25-26-Highlights-img2-768x327.png 768w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/UGA-25-26-Highlights-img2-1024x436.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></div> </figure> </div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"></div></div></div></div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p><b><i>Significant developments, future directions</i></b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Provost Dr. Robert Roleda shared the most significant developments of Academic Year 2024-2025 in DLSU academics as well as the future directions of the University for the second half of the Jubilee Strategic Plan cycle.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He cited the rollout of Challenge-Based Learning or CBL at the School of Innovation and Sustainability in Laguna, which is being implemented with 67 undergraduates taking BS in Entrepreneurship, BS in Computer Science, and BS in Information Technology.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Likewise, he cited DLSU’s Policy on Generative Artificial Intelligence, which comes into effect this AY 2025-2026. The policy is aimed at the responsible use of powerful technologies by leading with solid principles (i.e., transparency, disclosure, accountability, human agency, critical engagement) and defining guidelines collaboratively. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also bannered the national government’s proclamation that part of the Laguna Campus is now a Knowledge, Innovation, Science and Technology (KIST) Ecozone. This is in line with the Jubilee Goal 2 (Impact), highlighting the generation of new sources of national growth from a green knowledge ecosystem. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to him, DLSU shall measure success by three objectives: excellent educational innovation; student experience; and new growth. By 2027, the targets are: at least 80 percent of undergraduate courses will integrate AI-enabled, experiential learning, and Education for Sustainable Development; at least 85 percent of students will report satisfaction in annual student experience surveys; and at least 10 percent of total enrollment will come from non-traditional sources and new markets.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For her part, Senior Vice President and VP for Administration Kai Shan Fernandez presented the infrastructure developments on both the Laguna and Manila campuses, including newly completed campus infrastructure projects and renovated spaces such as classrooms, microteaching and medical physics laboratories and workspaces. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other developments she shared were the following: the completed switch-over to 100 percent renewable energy for all eligible buildings on both campuses; the launch of Archers Hub, DLSU’s new Student Life Cycle management system; continued improvements of DLSU’s IT infrastructure and information system security as well as network services expansion; and documented improvements to the procurement system. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She also cited the recent implementation of Outcomes-Based Budgeting (OBB) as a major step forward in being able to program and deploy DLSU resources effectively. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fernandez pointed out that to reconcile objectives and constraints, there must be a Lasallian model of service that combines two elements: one is enhancing DLSU’s in-house capabilities for delivering service and the other is doing more self-service.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This means learning to do more basic tasks independently, relying less on staff to do them for us, so that they may be deployed toward higher-value activities,” she said. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As with CLAYGO, we want our expectations of service level delivery to be consistent with the values and leadership traits we wish to develop within our students. We want them to be prepared to do more things without too much supervision or assistance; we want them to be a blessing and not a burden to their future colleagues,” she added.</span></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></section><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/uga-2025-2026-highlights-renewed-commitment-to-dlsu-educational-philosophy/">UGA 2025-2026 highlights renewed commitment to DLSU educational philosophy</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph">De La Salle University</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/uga-2025-2026-highlights-renewed-commitment-to-dlsu-educational-philosophy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>DLSU Laguna now a PEZA Knowledge, Innovation, Science & Tech park</title> <link>https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/dlsu-laguna-now-a-peza-knowledge-innovation-science-tech-park/</link> <comments>https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/dlsu-laguna-now-a-peza-knowledge-innovation-science-tech-park/#respond</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 09 Sep 2025 05:51:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Arjay Rigantes]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Institutional]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 17]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 17 Partnerships For The Goals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 4]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 4 Quality Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 9]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 9 Industry Innovation And Infrastructure]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sustainable Development Goals]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/?p=114903</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/dlsu-laguna-now-a-peza-knowledge-innovation-science-tech-park/">DLSU Laguna now a PEZA Knowledge, Innovation, Science & Tech park</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph">De La Salle University</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<section class="wpb-content-wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img width="300" height="251" src="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img2-300x251.png" class="vc_single_image-img attachment-medium" alt="" title="DLSU LAGUNA PEZA 2025-img2" srcset="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img2-300x251.png 300w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img2-768x644.png 768w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img2.png 940w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></div> </figure> </div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img width="300" height="251" src="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img1-300x251.png" class="vc_single_image-img attachment-medium" alt="" title="DLSU LAGUNA PEZA 2025-img1" srcset="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img1-300x251.png 300w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img1-768x644.png 768w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DLSU-LAGUNA-PEZA-2025-img1.png 940w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></div> </figure> </div></div></div></div></div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">De La Salle University Laguna Campus is now a Knowledge, Innovation, Science and Technology (KIST) Ecozone, following a proclamation by Malacanan Palace on July 30, 2025. It is the first Philippine private higher education institution to receive this recognition. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> A KIST park is a specific type of ecozone created by PEZA. DLSU’s KIST Ecozone is a dynamic space for fostering knowledge exchange, innovation, and technological advancements while promoting sustainability.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It offers a collaborative ecosystem that develops transformative solutions for a sustainable future guided by Lasallian principles of ethical leadership, social responsibility, and a commitment to lifelong learning. It serves as a catalyst for progress in science, technology, and innovation. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, De La Salle University began the process of applying for a PEZA ecozone to host startups, entrepreneurs, and research centers working in collaboration with the university for program development, academic, research and development activities. This initiative aligns with the strategic direction of establishing knowledge, innovation, and sustainability-driven institutional goals. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Covering five hectares of the 51-hectare Laguna Campus, KIST Ecozone integrates academia, industry, government, and community in driving interdisciplinary research, innovation, and commercialization of green technologies, eco-friendly solutions and sustainable practices.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a message to the Lasallian community, DLSU President Br. Bernard Oca FSC expressed hope that this development would inspire all to promote innovation, the commercialization of green technologies, eco-friendly solutions, and sustainable

(TDSOL) ranked 2nd place in the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) Space Policy and Law Essay Writing Contest. The awarding took place on 9 August 2025, during Philippine Space Week celebrations hosted by PhilSA.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the theme “What is outer space and how should our national laws define it?”, the contest challenged law students nationwide to tackle a fundamental question at the intersection of law and science. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In his essay, “Drawing the Line with the Pen of Law: Defining Outer Space”, TDSOL student Justin Christopher de Borja proposed a Philippine legal definition of “outer space” that is rooted in scientific evidence while upholding the principles of governance, sovereignty, and international law. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By weaving together constitutional mandates, scientific reasoning, and state practice, his essay highlighted the Philippines’ proactive role in shaping the future of global space policy – beginning with a definition that is both pragmatic and internationally recognized. </span></p> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div

Together, they guide ideas from creation, to protection, to real-world application.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DIPO is responsible for the protection and management of University-owned intellectual property. It secures and manages the protection of University-owned IP, advises faculty, students, and staff on protecting their own IP, and facilitates the registration with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL). It implements the DLSU IP policies and recommends enforcement actions when necessary. DIPO also leads Knowledge and Technology Transfer activities, manages the utilization and commercialization of University-owned IP, serves as a “gateway” for industry collaboration, and is responsible for signing licensing agreements on behalf of the University. In addition, it engages with internal and external stakeholders, answers IP-related queries, organizes awareness activities, supervises the Intellectual Property Advocates (IPA) student organization, and builds partnerships with different industries.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DITO on the other hand is a service provider that focuses on the support needed for Knowledge and Technology Transfer. It aids DIPO in implementing the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Policy, managing the utilization and commercialization of University-owned IP, and creating and executing marketing strategies for University researchers and their innovations. DITO leads negotiations for licensing agreements, monitors licensee compliance, receives and helps compute royalty payments, and may provide patent services to the University and third parties. It also engages with stakeholders, referring new ventures to incubators such as Animo Labs, building relationships for commercialization opportunities, and helping build capacity in knowledge and technology transfer. DITO coordinates with other units, analyzes and reports its program results, co-represents the University in IP-related events, supervises the UNBOXD student startup organization, and may assist in the utilization of non-University-owned IP.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Animo Labs is at the forefront of technopreneurship and research-based startups. It provides a nurturing environment that mainly endures mentorships programs, industry and investor connections, as well as training and workspace opportunities. The university’s representative primarily enables groundbreaking innovations into the transformation intended for market-ready conjectures. As such, they not only cultivate the strong commercialization potential within the company but seek to communicate their ideas on a global and international scale. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Together, these three entities form DLSU’s innovation pipeline. DIPO ensures ideas are protected and managed as valuable intellectual assets. DITO develops strategies to bring these assets to market, builds industry partnerships, and manages licensing. Animo Labs provides the entrepreneurial environment for innovations to grow into sustainable businesses. This collaborative framework ensures that the creativity and research output of the DLSU community are transformed into innovations with real societal and economic impact.</span></p><p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/dlsu-innovation-ecosystem/">DLSU Innovation Ecosystem</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph">De La Salle University</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Faculty receives 2025 Severino and Paz Koh Lectureship Award for Engineering</title> <link>https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty-receives-2025-severino-and-paz-koh-lectureship-award-for-engineering/</link> <pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2025 13:56:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Arjay Rigantes]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Institutional]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 11]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 11 Sustainable Cities And Communities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 17]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 17 Partnerships For The Goals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 9]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SDG 9 Industry Innovation And Infrastructure]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/?p=114713</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty-receives-2025-severino-and-paz-koh-lectureship-award-for-engineering/">Faculty receives 2025 Severino and Paz Koh Lectureship Award for Engineering</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph">De La Salle University</a>.</p>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<section class="wpb-content-wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_center"> <figure class="wpb_wrapper vc_figure"> <div class="vc_single_image-wrapper vc_box_border_grey"><img width="1081" height="900" src="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Severino-Paz-Award-2025.jpg" class="vc_single_image-img attachment-full" alt="" title="Severino-Paz-Award-2025" srcset="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Severino-Paz-Award-2025.jpg 1081w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Severino-Paz-Award-2025-300x250.jpg 300w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Severino-Paz-Award-2025-768x639.jpg 768w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Severino-Paz-Award-2025-1024x853.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1081px) 100vw, 1081px" /></div> </figure> </div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"></div></div></div></div> <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " > <div class="wpb_wrapper"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DLSU Gokongwei College of Engineering Full Professor Dr. Michael Promentilla received the 2025 Severino and Paz Koh Lectureship Award for Engineering at the Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering (PAASE) Meeting and Symposium 2025 held at the University of South Carolina last July. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He was formally awarded during the 45th Annual PAASE Meeting and Symposium (APAMS), where he also delivered a lecture on “From Waste to Worth: Engineering Ways to Build the Circular Future.”</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Promentilla was recognized for his contributions to the academic field, embodying the spirit of innovation, leadership, and service.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, an MS Environmental Engineering and Management student, Engr.
