pagawas lang ko sa ako gi bati ha...

most engineers graduating from this school (that ive dealt with or employed in the past and ive had lots of them) are of lesser quality in terms of performance and knowledge base compared to engineers of 2nd rate colleges in cebu or from other provinces... shape it up you guys.. (i hope i get to meet a decent engineer from here though)..

dha lang ko taman.. di nako mo single out unsa nga department(s) og unsa nga batch(s)

PS..

cebuano engineers are still the best (CIT, UC & USC) .. i prefer them over engineers from manila.. our boys are top dollar..

UBCHEA VP for Institutional Advancement Visits Silliman

Silliman University welcomed to the campus the new Vice President for Institutional Advancement of the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA) on December 3.

It was Mr. Ricky Cheng’s first time in Silliman as Vice President, but he had been in Dumaguete City when Silliman hosted the first Philippine counterpart of UBCHEA’s Asian University Leaders Program. At that time, Mr. Cheng was still with The Chinese University of Hong Kong as Director of its Office of Institutional Advancement, which he helped establish in 2003.

UBCHEA Vice President for Programs Dr. Betty McCann and Program Associate Ms. Louisa So joined Mr. Cheng on this trip where he also shared his expertise in fund raising to a select group of faculty and administrators of Silliman and other schools in Negros Oriental.

Mr. Cheng met with Silliman officials, including President Dr. Ben S. Malayang III, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Betsy Joy B. Tan and Vice President for Finance and Administration Prof. Cleonico Y. Fontelo. He also had a session with UBCHEA scholars, fellows and project grant recipients, and was oriented on the University’s coastal resource management initiatives.

In the announcement released by UBCHEA on its website, Mr. Cheng’s appointment emphasizes the value UBCHEA gives to its relations with its donors: “Ricky will strengthen and expand the community of supporters for our mission and programs, through communication with our partners and alumni, stewardship of donors, and media outreach.”

Silliman University has a long-standing relationship with UBCHEA. It continues to be a recipient of donations from UBCHEA and its alumni and friends.

you never know people, besides, that would be discrimination.. give chance and give opportunities.. though man hinuon sa work ethics.. they lag in technical & manegerial expertise..but they compensate for endurance.

ako lang compare ha.. hehe
field assignment (local)- either CIT or UC.. (ayaw jud ibutang USC sa field)
field assignment (out of town) - dire ang strength sa taga siliman.. mo survive sa layo hehe (USC wont last a month layo sa cebu)
office assignment - USC, masaligan when it comes to planning,design, and accounting. sadly mao ni weakness sa taga siliman..

importante man gud ng naa initiative.. take it as a constructive criticism.. maau ng naa sa lau nga pwede ra ma biyaan..
