79. <p dir="ltr">De La Salle University President Br. Bernard Oca FSC discussed the country’s state of digitalization in higher education including its challenges and prospects at The Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL) Conference 2025.</p>
80. <p dir="ltr">Held at Beltei International University, Phnom Penh, Cambodia from July 6 to 8, the event gathered academics, researchers, administrators, and students from across the Southeast Asian region and beyond to discuss the digitalization of higher education and related topics such as AI, digital divide, social media, and digital transformation, among others.</p>
81. <p dir="ltr">Br. Bernie, who concurrently sits as ASAIHL board member and National Council of the Philippines president, highlighted the state of internet penetration and use in the Philippine schools, key digitalization initiatives of HEIs and DLSU, and long-term recommendations towards a transformative digital strategy.</p>
82. <p dir="ltr">According to him, there is a need for public investment in digital infrastructure, redesigning of rules and procedures for implementing digital education, and continued discussions on what learning quality looks like under hybrid modalities. He ended by saying “As one of the world’s leading users of the internet in general and social media in particular, there is no shortage of appetite for change. We welcome every opportunity to work with like-minded institutions to create a more digitally literate and equitable ASEAN.”</p>
83. <p dir="ltr">Established in 1955, ASAIHL is one of the oldest regional organizations in Southeast Asia. It has 246 member institutions from 25 countries.</p>

182. <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Abstract</strong></p>
183. <p style="text-align: center;">Without a doubt, global technology ecosystems are becoming increasingly interconnected. Consider, for example, a mobile app developed in Silicon Valley, with its backend infrastructure hosted on cloud servers in Germany, user interface design outsourced to a team in India, and quality assurance testing performed by specialists in Vietnam. This illustrates how the IT industry offers vast opportunities for international collaboration and investment. Because of the business operations across borders, accounting standard setters prescribed that an entity discloses information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environment in which it operates. The entity should provide information used by the management that will allow users to understand the entity&#8217;s main activities and the location of those activities. Disclosure of this relevant information will help build transparency with stakeholders. Disclosures are designed to assist outside users of financial information to make investments in the business.

212. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Grant Cheng, being a Lasallian was never just about earning a degree—it was about becoming the kind of person worthy of the opportunity he was given.</span></p>
213. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As part of the inaugural batch of Star Scholars under the Manufacturing Engineering &amp; Management program, Grant entered De La Salle University with a deep sense of responsibility. “I was always aware of how I needed to live up to the ideals of the scholarship, to show the debt of gratitude, or </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">utang na loob</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, that I was the right choice,” he recalls. “I never stopped striving to be worthy of that honor and gift.”</span></p>
214. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That gift led to a college experience that would transform his life. Grant embraced every opportunity to grow—from leading his course organization (SME) and competing with the DLSU Debate Team, to representing the University in international student leadership delegations and pursuing a year-long exchange at the National University of Singapore. “I would say I had a very well-rounded education and experience,” he reflects. “I learned basic machining, programming, simple circuitry, and the basics of business and management from my formal education. But just as importantly, I met my wife in DLSU—we were in the same course.”</span></p>

221. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img class=" wp-image-113758 alignright" src="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/aaro-animo-stories-grant-cheng-3.png" alt="" width="522" height="368" srcset="https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/aaro-animo-stories-grant-cheng-3.png 1000w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/aaro-animo-stories-grant-cheng-3-300x212.png 300w, https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/aaro-animo-stories-grant-cheng-3-768x541.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px" />Grant graduated magna cum laude in 2004 and received the Brother Gabriel Connon Award, given to students with a strong Christian character and outstanding accomplishment in the fields of academics, leadership, and community service. He was also recognized as one of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines, an honor awarded by the President of the Republic. Later, he earned a Master’s degree in Wealth Management with distinction from the Singapore Management University, also on a full-ride scholarship.</span></p>
222. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The values he developed during those formative years continue to guide him today. “Values are the bedrock of your decisions and who you are,” Grant shares. “And in one’s professional life and career, the values of character, integrity, and perseverance have always served me well.”</span></p>
223. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These values were tested in 2008 when Cheng was laid off from his job in Singapore during the global financial crisis. “It was a complete shock… It taught me that individual performance and merit are sometimes not enough to ensure stability. Life can be unfair,” he admits. But resilience, a core Lasallian trait, helped him rise again. “By staying true to your values and being willing to adapt, you will find opportunities to thrive… and serve as a springboard for a strong bounceback.”</span></p>
224. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, Cheng is the Chief Financial Officer of Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI), where he has helped raise over ₱40 billion in capital, doubled the company’s customer base, and driven consistent 20% annual growth—even through the pandemic. For this, he was named the 2022 ING-FINEX CFO of the Year, becoming the youngest to ever receive the distinction. His career spans leadership roles in investment and private banking at BDO Capital, EFG Bank, Commerzbank AG, and Citi, after beginning his professional journey as a project manager at Procter &amp; Gamble Asia.</span></p>

He actively supports civic and professional organizations such as the Saint Jude Catholic School Alumni Association, the Financial Executives of the Philippines, and CFA Philippines. “These communities helped shape who I am,” he shares. “I’m simply returning the favor.”</span></p>
232. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His guiding principle is simple but powerful: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This is true from the smallest and most mundane of things to your life plans and family.”</span></p>
233. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To current Lasallian scholars, he offers heartfelt advice: “Being given a scholarship is more than free education. You were chosen to be a vessel of the institution’s values and ideals. Hopefully, this blessing is not only seen as a financial gift, but also as a call to be a role model… One day, you’ll have the chance to pay it forward and sustain this virtuous cycle.”</span></p>
234. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From being a full scholar to a nationally awarded CFO, Grant Cheng’s journey is a testament to how a Lasallian education can shape not just careers but lives committed to excellence, service, and impact.</span></p>

315. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Philippines has all the natural gifts for cacao production: good climate, favorable soil, and strategic location. For all its potential to be a major player in the multi-billion dollar cocoa-chocolate industry, however, the country is still pulling itself up from the great impact of pest infestation that almost wiped out the local cacao industry back in the ‘90s.</span></p>
316. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) show a continuing decline in the volume of cacao production in the country in the past three decades, except for a short uptick from 2017 to 2019. Local farmers would record their lowest production yet in 2023 with only 1,092.27 metric tons of cacao, which was even lower than those of the pandemic years.</span></p>
317. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help boost the sector, a team of researchers from De La Salle University (DLSU) embarked on a DOST-funded research to combat the cacao mirid bug (Helopeltis bakeri), one of the major insect pests in the country and in other parts of Southeast Asia.</span></p>
318. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Jose Isagani Janairo, full professor at the DLSU Department of Biology and the country’s project lead, shares that their team seeks to integrate machine learning in the discovery of semiochemicals of the cacao mirid bug. “Semiochemicals are chemical signals used by plants and insects to communicate and navigate their surroundings,” he says.</span></p>
319. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The exciting part of our study is we’re eavesdropping on plants and insects. By trying to understand the language of chemistry used by these plants and insects, we can send out fake signals that we can use to fool the pest,” he adds.</span></p>

347. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cacao mirid bug is an insect with a very long proboscis, which is used to puncture the cacao pods. “Once the pods have been punctured, they serve as a gateway for other pathogens to enter, and this leads to accelerated pod rotting,” Janairo says. “We cannot use them for anything else. And so this has been our motivation to develop sustainable pest management approaches to the cacao mirid bug.”</span></p>
348. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since 2016, Janairo and his research group at the Institute of Biological Control at the DLSU Laguna Campus have been involved in the development of sustainable approaches to cacao pest management. Exploring the field of semiochemistry, they have focused on one of its applications, which is semiochemical-baited traps.</span></p>
349. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The research involves the identification of a possible compound to which the cacao mirid bug is attracted. A compound acts like a signal that tells the bug there is food to feed on, and it is exclusive to certain bugs or insects. Once the compound is identified, it can then be placed in a trap. </span></p>
350. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Janairo points out that since chemical signals are very specific, no other insects, animals, or plants will respond to the trap. The project offers a sustainable alternative to common pest management methods, such as using plastic or synthetic pesticides that harm not only other species but the environment as well.   </span></p>
351. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> For their predictive model, the research team is building a dataset of candidate compounds from which they will identify the specific compound that will elicit a physiological response to the pest. The team will study, for instance, if the mirid bug responds to a compound that is more hydrophobic.</span></p>
352. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Because of the tedious work of semiochemical discovery, which involves a lot of trial and error and demands a lot of resources, the machine learning model will come quite handy, Janairo says.</span></p>

374. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For their latest project, they are building on years of previous efforts that had been undertaken with support from the DOST Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development. Among their major work was the discovery of a compound called beta-caryophyllene as a behaviorally active semiochemical. </span></p>
375. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The challenge for us right now is to develop something more potent,” Janairo says. With the integration </span></p>
376. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">of machine learning, the team could now screen thousands of compounds in a much shorter period of time. Beyond the identification of potent compounds, they express hope for the fulfillment of their ultimate goal: “We want to use science to benefit not only the farmers, but the Filipino people in general.”</span></p>

548. <p dir="ltr">De La Salle University is among the world’s leading universities in pursuing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to the 2025 Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings. The 2025 edition ranked 2,526 universities from 130 countries or territories based on their progress towards the SDGs. The yearly rankings reflect sustainability-related outcomes from the previous 3 years.</p>
549. <p dir="ltr">DLSU was the pioneering Philippine participant of the THE Impact Rankings when it launched in 2019. This year, the University placed in the 801-1,000 bracket, making its seventh consecutive appearance in the said rankings.</p>
550. <p dir="ltr">For the 2025 rankings, the University was assessed according to five SDGs: Life Below Water (101-200), Responsible Consumption and Production (401-600), Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (601-800), Good Health and Wellbeing (801-1,000), and Partnership for the Goals (801-1,000).</p>
551. <p dir="ltr">In pursuit of Life Below Water, or SDG 14, DLSU bolstered the aquatic stewardship of coastal and river communities in Southern Luzon primarily through the College of Science SHORE Center and the Sustainability Hub &#8211; Laguna, and has internationally partnered/awarded projects through the College of Computer Science CIVI Center (AutoPPLEx), the Department of Chemical Engineering (Bio+Mine) and the Practical Genomics Laboratory (CrabTECH).</p>
552. <p dir="ltr">For Responsible Consumption and Production or SDG 12, the University-wide commitment to operational sustainability was particularly highlighted through comprehensive waste reduction and management policies upheld by the Building and Grounds Maintenance Office (BGMO), Civil Works and Maintenance Civil and Sanitary Works Office (CSWO), Facilities Management Office (FMO), Supply Chain Management Office, and the University Sustainability Hubs.</p>
553. <p dir="ltr">In addressing Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure or SDG 9, Lasallian research center accomplishments shone as championed by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (VPRI), especially for: patents citing university research across all fields, STEM research income by the SHORE Center, and &#8220;spinoff&#8221; startup companies guided by the DLSU Innovation and Technology Office (DITO).</p>
554. <p dir="ltr">University outcomes related to Good Health and Wellbeing, or SDG 3, also embodied the Lasallian mission through extensive outreach organized by the Center for Social Concern and Action (COSCA); as well as holistic (physical, mental, and sexual) healthcare of students and employees by the Health Services Office (HSO), Lasallian Center for Inclusion, Diversity and Well-being (LCIDWell), and Office of Counseling and Career Services (OCCS).</p>
555. <p dir="ltr">For SDG 17 or Partnership for the Goals, DLSU continued to be a leading proponent of the SDGs through the national and global contributions of the Lasallian Social Enterprise for Economic Development (LSEED) Center, AdRIC, Department of Chemical Engineering, SHORE Center, and Social Development Research Center (SDRC).</p>
556. <p dir="ltr">In his statement, University Sustainability Office Executive Director Antonio Maralit says, &#8220;Back in 2019, DLSU was the sole Philippine university out of around only 450 worldwide in the inaugural THE Impact Rankings. This year, we are joined by 120 fellow Philippine universities among 2,526 worldwide. Our recently institutionalized whole-of-university approach enables us to set the course from benchmarking to transformation. I thank the Lasallian community for these past efforts, and look forward to even more transformative education rooted in Lasallian values.&#8221;</p>
