UAJEG and IIEE-UASC join IIEE Foundation Anniversary Celebration
By Jay Lord Defiño
University of Antique Junior Electrician’s Guild (UAJEG), in partnership with the Institute of Integrated Electrical EngineersUniversity of Antique Student Chapter (IIEE-UASC), conducted a Technical Seminar and Workshop on AC Induction Motors and Motor Starters during the 48th foundation anniversary of the IIEE at UA Cultural Center on March 1.
The IIEE organization was founded 48 years ago and was only intended for Electrical Engineers, although this year, in collaboration with UAJEG, they thought of joining the two groups with similar electrical practices.
The guest speakers and engineers described the objectives of the IIEE Organization and discussed Republic Act 7920, an act providing a more responsive, comprehensive regulation for the practice, licensing, and registration of electrical engineers and electricians.
A total of 287 students from Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) Major in Electrical Technology and 125 students from the
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering attended the said event.
“The goal of this event is to [bridge] electrical practitioners with unity to strengthening the force for one IIEE and to bind electrical engineering and electrical technology in[to] one goal, one team through resiliency,” John Mark Rosales, president of UAJEG, said in an interview with The PRISM staff.
Furthermore, this event allows students to gain knowledge and skills in their fields of expertise, competencies, training, and exposure.
“This will help educate the electrical engineering and Technology students in terms of our specialization. This is to enhance our knowledge to our career as future electrician and engineers, as the two programs combined, it is a very big help to gain experience in actual practice,” Pamela Vitudio, president of IIEE-UASC, stated.

“ANG PWESTO SA GOByERNO BUKOT BURUGASAN , BUKOT PARANUBLION -
Evelio B. Javier
By Renavi Maguidgad
Evelio B. Javier is considered a martyr of his province, Antique, as he died fighting for the ideals he believes in – freedom, dignity, good governance, justice, and peace. Javier was among the leaders of the opposition United Nationalist Democratic Organization during the snap presidential election in 1986.
Philippines is known to be practicing a hierarchy of dynasties in its politics, wherein politics became a family business for most of the politicians, government offices were composed of a powerful family line, and public service became an advertisement for patriarchy.
This is not only happening in the national government but also in the offices, public institutions, universities, and other sectors of the communities. Dynasties became a phenomenon in this country.
Public office is not a means of livelihood, nor is it inherited. This is one of the famous lines from Evelio, as he is addressing the political system of the Philippines prior to the implementation of martial law,
where the Marcoses indulged in position and power for a long time and are still enjoying it today, after Ferdinand Marcos Jr. won the 2022 national election, and along with him is his family, who gained various positions in different sectors of public offices. Political dynasties monopolize political power, which breeds corruption and incompetence.
It is one that will worsen the abuse of power and corruption in the Philippines. It is also one of the reasons why a politician from a political dynasty is more likely to maintain the power of his family in a community, because people were boxed in with the thought that no one could beat a family that has the capacity to dominate the political arena. It became a business ground for most politicians in that they could have an heir after their term of service.
The poverty-ravaged country has long been ruled by elite families. Dirty elections like vote buying, fraud, and violence are some of the ways these raccoons maintain their power. “Power begets power—
the more they stay in power, the more they accumulate power, the more powerful they get,” said Julio Teehankee, a De La Salle University professor. Even the smaller sector of government tolerates political dynasties. For these avaricious politicians, politics is a means of subsistence. Serving the public now means upholding self-interest rather than having an obligation to serve the people. Some people entered politics for economic profit, some to restore their family’s reputation, some for title, and yet others due to family history.
There are other public servants, like Evelio, who resist political dynasties. Citing the most recent national election, where Leni Robredo astounded voters by running for president as the only candidate who is not descended from a political dynasty, she brought something new to the table of politics.
People are not used to this brand of politician because the Philippines is where political dynasties are transferred from generation to generation. Even in certain small communities

where officials are constituted and governed by family members, in a barangay where from the barangay captain down to the sangguniang kabataan, officials are composed of one bloodline.
Cultural inheritance can be considered one of the most common and powerful political strategies for gaining power in the world of politics. Even in choosing a leader, family background is a contributing factor to winning the election.
This is where the voters will determine whether a candidate has already established a name and family track record in public service.
This will also determine whether a public servant deserves the power he has held for a long time. Moreover, it also deprived the ideal public servants with no established name of the opportunity to attain power and serve the people. This became a huge problem in the Philippines as the people sometimes elected officials with no intention to serve them.
Beloy fought for these ideals as he believed that politics should be a ground to serve the country and the people, not to fulfill self-interest, and to never monopolize the power to take advantage of those who have chosen you to govern them. The government is neither a business company nor something to inherit.
CONDUCIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: A Necessity in Education
By Jan Brian Siladan
As we stride along the globalized society, education plays a very significant and vital role in ensuring that the system is kept intact. Education is the foundation of renowned professionals, and society’s quality of education determines the stability of the country: its economy, safety of its people, and autonomy. In the context of elementary, secondary, and tertiary education, the teaching and learning process could either make or break an individual.
The administrative council of the University of Antique (UA) and other stakeholders paved the way for construction of various institutional buildings inside the main campus of the university. Some newly constructed buildings and those under construction include the two-storey male dormitory, fourstorey library building, and the new Administrative Building and Main Gate along the old General Education Building (GEB).
However, with dismay, the construction at the old GEB area brings noise that hinders
the classes at the rooms within the building and those near it. Most students survived a semester taking courses and instruction within the walls of the old GEB although the environment is filled with noise pollution. These machine and mechanical noises are due to the undergoing construction in the area.
The teaching and learning system is greatly affected by the noise brought by the undergoing construction. The students affected by this dilemma are those from the College of Teacher Education (CTE) whose classes mostly reside at GEB, and those from the College of Maritime Studies (CMS) who utilize the building during the first batch of face-to-face classes. Last semester, the First Semester of Academic Year 2022-2023, CTE had a total of 1, 624 students while the CMS had an enrollment of 1,467 students based on the data provided by the Registrar’s Office of UA. This entails that the whole CTE student population faced this learning distraction while a few of the CMS population experienced this instance.
The PRISM
07 OPINION January to March 2023
UA Vice President for Finance and Administration and Main Campus director Dr. Nelly Mistio said in an interview that she understands the sentiments of faculties and the dilemma of the students as she is also a teacher. The administrator suggested that the schedule of loud construction activities such as drilling may be scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, however, this is subject to consideration because drilling and other construction activities are necessary to reach the scheduled dates.
Also, the administrator added that the local building contractor had no capacity for evening construction because resources and equipment are limited.
Also, Project Procurement Management Services director, Engineer Vincent Arthur Abellon, specified that the construction of the new Administrative Building at the old GEB is funded through the General Appropriations Act (GAA) which requires finishing construction projects within a set timeframe. The contractor of the said infrastructure could not risk missing the schedules because they may be subject to liquidated damages and penalties. The director also emphasized that the teaching faculty is in-charge of teaching and learning strategies within the classroom and should take charge of the initiatives to deliver efficient instruction to the students.
Meanwhile, it is good that the University paves the way for state of the art buildings which would cater to the needs of the studentry. Retrofitting the General Education Building because it is one of the oldest buildings in the University is also a great initiative. However, the welfare of every student in the University of Antique is as significant as the
development of infrastructures.
As a student, I would like to suggest taking an initiative to ensure that even with the ongoing retrofitting, the students still receive quality, relevant, and responsive education as stated in UA’s Mission. Even a minimal initiative and mitigation could help lessen the burden of UAean students.
Some of the suggestions would be to adjust the flexibility of class schedules or construction schedules. The construction may be prone to delay if the schedules are adjusted but this could help unburden the teachers from delivering instruction while the construction workers keep on hammering the walls. In the future, to avoid instances of building construction hindering class instruction, new classrooms may be constructed for the rehabilitation of sections prior to the renovation of buildings.
In this respect, the students only want to receive education from a conducive teaching and learning environment. The establishment of the new Administrative Building would benefit the UA community in the future, but today, the students that face the dilemma of a noisy learning environment request for mitigation and response.
Conclusively, education is a process so a barrier may greatly affect its effectiveness and efficiency. As we strive to be a leading University in Science and Technology, and as we journey towards transforming the lives of Antiquenos, each and every UAean should be part of the university’s goal and success. Let us journey towards development while ensuring that no individual is left behind.

“A BRIGHTER FUTURE AWAITS”
By Janea Giselle Cazeňas
Some believe that college is a combat zone consisting of small fights. Students must listen to and follow the lecturers’ instructions in order to survive each day’s venture. College, however, is also among the best stages of life. In this stage, we make new acquaintances, discover new traits, become interested about new hobbies, join organizations, and learn more about ourselves. But things are different for Robert.
A farm laborer and a housewife raised Robert G. Nietes. He is currently taking up Bachelor of Science in Communication and is already in his second year. He has also consistently received the honor student designation and has performed admirably in his academics until now. Also, Robert is a self-sufficient son who makes an effort to sustain himself while also trying to help his parents.
Robert’s eyes were opened at a young age to the realization that life does not always go smoothly for everyone. Though it is true that life is like a wheel for others, you are not always at the top. There are also people who remain at the top and those who remain at the bottom. In Robert’s case, he does not want to remain at the bottom of the pyramid. Instead, he is determined to complete his studies and take another step toward success. So, he helps himself by working part-time jobs to earn money and support himself.
His time management issues and unstable emotional state were his serious hurdles. He often becomes mentally and physically exhausted. He experienced mental breakdowns as a result of his constant worry about the future and the what-ifs, but they are still issues he hasn’t conquered. He occasionally wonders why he can’t just live normally like other people his age, but he always responds to those questions by holding that God would not have given him the encounter if he could not handle it.
“Although I can’t focus solely on my studies as some students do, I nevertheless feel fortunate because this allows me to get experiences that I can apply to my future career. I don’t point the finger at anyone, and at my age, I am now entirely responsible for my life, ” he stated.
“As a student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communication, I would like to encourage any other UAean students who are facing similar challenges to have faith in God and be strong enough to complete their studies and earn their degree. Remember that while being
poor is not your fault, dying poor is. One day, we will realize that everything has been worthwhile and that we are truly grateful for having persevered and, without a doubt, for having been brave.” Being a working student is believed to be an independent move to live a life with lesser parental assistance. Yet, it might also mean constantly being under pressure and missing out on many activities, particularly while you’re growing up. Robert views every circumstance in his life as a chance to become more determined, and as he grows more motivated every day, he also provides his own stepping stones for his journey towards achievement. With that, Robert’s bright future awaits.

“I was very happy to see my name on the list of the passers of the February 2023 MELE and it’s worth the wait because finally all my struggles and hardships were paid off. I doubted myself before because I only do self review and the process is a bit hard but I came to realize my purpose of why I do this- for my family and to everyone who believes in me so I doubled my efforts. And finally, it’s a dream come true not only for me, but also for my family,” Engr. Sardo, one of the passers, said in an interview.
Meanwhile, Dean of CEA, Engr. Christine C. Vegafria, DPA, expressed her sentiments towards the performance of CEA alumni despite the effect of pandemic in their journey.

Engr. Vegafria also congratulated Engr. Rex Galopo, program head of BS ME, and members of the faculty for doing well.
“Believing that through prayers, with unity and diligence, we can achieve more. To our students, keep focusing on the goals, be diligent and be industrious in studying for we are here always to support you! And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9,” she added.

SENTIMENTS and OPINIONS of the Studentry on the 2ND SEMESTER AY 2022-2023 ENROLLMENT
Compiled by Jorielyn Martizano, Renavi Maguidgad, and Jan Brian Siladan
We were the first ones to enroll because we were here earlier [than other colleges]. We were a bit dissappointed with the process because when we reached the section for printing of registration forms, a problem occurred at the system. It could have been managed earlier. I was actually accomodated due that I had the reason of having a flight the next day and I was required to quarantine. However, some of my classmates were not able to have lunch because there was a queue and you would start at the back if you leave the line. They actually waited till such time they needed to go back to their municipalities because we needed to process the papers for our on the job training.
Some students went back the next day and it was said that the system was all good and the processing was already ok. Last time, online enrollment was good during the pandemic. One of the suggestion could be to implement the online registration and enrollment as it is hustle free.”
There was a delay in the enrollment due to the queue. There were students who skip in front of the line and that’s why there was a delay. As we were from COT, we have a large number of students and those who skip the queue were also the cause of the delay.
We could not blame the staff as they were also doing their best for all students of UA to enroll.
[With regards to the requirements], maybe it was the lapses of the students that they have lacking requirements but we could not judge because each of us have different ways of pursuing education. “
“
With regards to the enrollment, we experienced that the system seems to be not that organized. As fourth year students we need the registration form for our onthe-job training however there were lower years that enrolled before us. I do not know if they released a daily schedule for each year yet that is our concern.
We hope that in the next enrollment if there is a schedule for fourth year students [the staff] should focus on fourth year students. The forms for second year, first year, [third year], should not be catered [ at that schedule] as to not delay the processing for ojt and the enrollment process would flow properly. “
Sheena Laude College of Bussines and Accountacy
I was not shocked of the number of students but we only wish for equality because some students are falling in line while others insert at the queue. We only want to show our emotions with regards to that but thanks to the teachers and staff for catering all students. We do know that there is good quality of education here.
We traveled here at around 10:30 but because it was crowded, it was hard for us given that there were no announcements on where to go for the students to be catered. However, all in all it was ok and we were catered by the faculty and staff.”
