The ASEAN Teacher Education Conference with the theme “Finding ASEAN Common Ground in Teacher Education Issues and Chal-lenges” brought together the Presidents of distin-guished Teacher Education Institutions in selected insti-tutions of the ASEAN coun-tries. Delegates from South Korea, Japan, China, Aus-tralia and from the Philip-pines shared their expertise and rich experiences on current and emerging prac-tices, policies, challenges and issues in Teacher Edu-cation. Along this line, from the Philippines’ TUP Presi-dent Adora S. Pili presented the paper : Academe-Industry Research Collabo-ration: A TUP-Petron Experi-

ence. This paper which was well-commended in its pres-entation at the parallel ses-sion, concurred with the conference’s theme, “Finding ASEAN Common Ground in Teacher Education.” It highlighted TUP’s current efforts to strengthen its aca-demic and research collabo-rations and enhance mobility of the faculty and students among the ASEAN Teacher Education Inst i tut ions through its curricular pro-grams, policies and quality assurance standards. TUP’s performance was inferred supportive of the ASEAN Development Agenda and reflective of the strategic actions for the ASEAN 2015 Socio Cultural Community (ASCC).

TUP Cuenca, Batangas Extension Campus through the new and able headship of Dr. Florida C. Labuguen, held two start-up significant events last November 5, 2014, which were the Thanksgiving Celebration and Signing of MOA with the Local Government of Cuenca.

Three (3) groups of Bachelor of Technology (BT) students of the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) represented the Technologi-cal University of the Philip-pines during the 8th Busi-ness Idea Development Award (BIDA), sponsored by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) on October 9, 2014 at the PCCI Plaza, McKinley Hill, Taguig City. Participated in by 73 entries from the vari-ous Higher Education Institu-tions (HEIs) nationwide, the competition aimed to exhaust the business mindset of stu-dents in developing science and technology based re-searches that could contrib-ute to national economic growth and sustainability. The areas of competition were Food, Non-Food, Ser-vice, and Technology.

Under the Technology category, the research “Utility Trashbot,” designed by the Bachelor of Technology ma-jor in Computer Engineering Technology (BT-COET) third year students was among the finalists. Their prototype featured an autobot that would proactively fetch trashes fed by people around while monitoring orderliness through hidden IP camera and integrated noise detec-tor.

Meanwhile, under the service category, two re-search projects of the 5th

year students of the Bache-lor of Technology in Infor-mation Technology were among those that made to the finals. These were the the “Click and Seek” devel-oped by Toby Otaysa, Regine Bondoc, and Jhona-lyne Reyes and the “Taxi Profile Monitoring System (Taxicurity)” designed by Jayson Suan, Jomar Rocero, and Angelo Gatchalian. The latter project got the second place award.

The “Click and Seek” system was designed to be an online repository similar to merged Facebook-Linked In-Job street portal where employers could extensively search potential applicants while applicants could search as much job postings as desired. While the “Taxi Profile Monitoring System (Taxicurity)” is an Android App/Web-based travel security and quality assurance taxi program designed for passengers, taxi drivers, and operators. In both research projects, Mr. Ralph Sherwin Corpuz served as the adviser.

The proponents of the “Taxi Profile Monitoring System” intend to have a possible market incubation support through the assis-tance of the R&E sector of the University.

At the onset, Dr. Melito A. Baccay, Vice President for Academic Affairs welcomed the participants and stated the significance of the undertaking; Dr. Gisela V. Rolluqui, CIT Dean provided an echo seminar on bench-marking; Engr. Lyndon R. Bague, Dean, Col-lege of Engineering spoke about OBE Assess-ment and Evaluation. Before the day’s end, the participants were grouped by depart-ments to develop the OBE program for the present school year.

On the second day, Dean Rolluqui an-nounced the new program offerings of the College for SY2018 onwards. The participants were required to submit a new curriculum for the new programs at the closing of the 2-day activity.

Editor’s Notes: TUP Reaches 113 Years of Existence : A Call for Celebration Reaching 113 years of exis-tence is indeed one of the major tri-umphs of the Technological University of the Philippines, which calls for a celebration. The reminiscence of copi-ous events in its existence is notably amplified all over again in the celebra-tion of its 113 th years of foundation anniversary. Such is the ambiance at TUP as it went through more than a century of struggle, growth and devel-opment and a life cycle focused on technology education that brought it outstanding chronicles of achievements. TUP celebrates its 113 th year Foundation Anniversary on December 15-19, 2014. The accomplishments of the University are undeniably descriptive of the unwavering changes in our so-ciety’s requisite for education acquisition. Mainly focused on the four-fold functions of instruction, research, extension, and pro-duction, TUP’s commitment is profoundly embodied in the vision-mission of the University just as in the vision-mission of the President, Dr. Adora S. Pili, though creating new vistas of modification and development that would shift TUP’s gears to higher grounds; eventually construct a new edifice of learning technology education not only in TUP but, optimistically in the country as well. Indeed, TUP has its own rightful place in the academe. This did not happen overnight; hence, the pioneering and long drawn efforts that successfully made this University develop from its very early stages should constantly be remembered for they could very well serve as challenges to sustain and even sur-pass the number of gathered laurels during the past 113 years. The extensive efforts of the past leaderships could be seen through the significant numbers of milestones of TUP as it jour-neys toward technological excellence. One blatant and satisfy-ing proof is the exceptional performance of TUP graduates in the various professional examinations that contributes much to its reputation in the fields of engineering, technology, industrial education, science and arts. No doubt being an institution for higher learning, TUP continues to move forward. Given these challenges, the present management through the brilliant leadership of President Pili envisions to di-rect the University where it should be heading to. With the pro-posed vision and mission laid out, the President reassures “TUP will continue its journey as the premier state university with rec-ognized excellence in applied sciences, engineering and technol-ogy at par with leading Universities in the ASEAN Region.” The truth to be told is that “there is no other way but for TUP to go forward, onward and up to higher grounds.” Elizabeth J. Galvez

from other speakers were focused on Climate Change and Environment. Meanwhile, the papers presented by the different SUC’s provided an op-portunity for all the participants to share their knowledge and best experiences particularly in responding to extension quality standards in their respective regions.

A total of fifty five (55) SUCs participated with 58 papers presented on parallel sessions. It was noted that there was 78 percent increase in the number of membership in the association. Due to the success of this 4th biennial convention, a training on National Capability Building was or-ganized for 2015, plans to conduct an Interna-tional Extension Convention and 5th Biennial Con-vention in 2016 were drawn.

Prof. Angeles was re-elected as the president of PAEPI for 2015-2016 as a result of the general election on the second day of the convention.
