DLSU feeder schools and Department of

Education institutions gathered recently for

the first De La Salle University-sponsored

The activity featured expert speakers

culture, personal branding, and fostering

work-life balance.

Media personality and author Maricel Laxa-

Pangilinan shared ways to reach out and

communicate with a younger generation.

College of Education faculty and certified

image consultant Karina Agustin-Crisostomo

talked about the relevance of personal

branding in career development. Television

host Tonipet Gaba facilitated a lively forum

among the seminar’s 90 participants.

Held at Hotel H2O in Manila, the whole-

day seminar was organized by the Office

for Strategic Communications to allow

the University to provide supplementary

personal and career development training

for the University’s high school partners

while also promoting DLSU’s undergraduate

and graduate programs to them.

THE DLSU COLLEGE OF LAW AND LEX SOCIETAS recently hosted a

forum on the Cybercrime Law, or RA 10175, with guest speaker

Senator Teofisto Guingona III discussing its implications on the

people’s freedom of speech.

Guest speakers with COL faculty and students

Held at the Yuchengco Building last October 16, the forum served as a venue for COL

students to look into the controversial law and to learn pending bills, such as the ones

authored by Guingona.

The forum also featured two professors from the University of the Philippines’ College

of Law. Atty. Theodore Te pointed out provisions in RA 10175 that could be problematic

even to the legal community, while Atty. JJ Disini discussed RA 10173 or the Data

Privacy Act. Disini noted that under this law, the mere sharing of other people’s personal

information, including some which are not ordinarily considered as too personal, can

already become a basis for criminal action.

Another invited speaker was blogger Tonyo Cruz, who likewise shared a similar position

against RA 10175, deeming it as “censorship of fundamental rights.”

TO ENCOURAGE LASALLIAN MBA GRADUATES to become

program ambassadors in their respective companies, the DLSU

Office for Strategic Communications in cooperation with the

Strategic Management Alumni Association organized a whole

day seminar and gathering for MBA alumni and students.

The activity was held at the Manila Polo Club in Makati on

October 20 and featured a management frameworks workshop

by RVR-College of Business faculty Dr. Elfren Cruz. Industry

trailblazers and DLSU alumni Dante Ang (MBA ‘05) of the

Manila Times and Ernest Cu (BS IME’82) of Globe Telecom,

Inc. addressed participants with their take on the event theme:

“Lasallian MBA in a changing business landscape.”

Ang walked the audience through his 100-year-old

broadsheet’s journey to the digital age while keynote

speaker Cu shared his vision and values as a leader of a

telecommunications mammoth. The two referred to Lasallian

values learned in school and how these continue to guide and

set them apart from other business leaders.

The event was the second major gathering of MBA alumni

this year. The first, which happened last May, was held at the

Wilcon Builder’s head office in Libis, Quezon City.

DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY ONCE AGAIN

showed its consistent performance in

licensure examinations, with its Accountancy

graduates registering a 100 percent passing

rate in the October 2012 Certified Public

Accountant board examinations. Only 4,772

out of 9,987 examinees, or 48.27 percent,

passed the test.

This is the 6th consecutive 100 percent

passing rate for DLSU. La Salle graduates

also posted 100 percent passing rates in

the May 2012, October 2011, May 2011,

October 2010, and May 2010 CPA board

exams.

This year’s conference, held in Dusit Thani Hotel, Makati last

October 4-5, carried the theme “Innovation and Appropriate

Technology for the Development and Inclusive Growth of Asian

SMEs.” CBRD Director Dr. Aida Licaros Velasco chaired the event.

The annual ASIALICS International Conference is held in different

countries to provide venue for the discussion on the latest

developments on Asian innovation systems and clusters, and to

explore possibilities of joint research and training in this field.

Over 60 scholars from 10 countries, including Japan, Korea,

Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Germany, India,

Estonia, and the Philippines, joined the event. Aside from

attending the seminar, they joined a trip to Gawad Kalinga’s

Enchanted Farm in Angat, Bulacan to witness its different social

enterprises.
