Her heart for community development and legacy in trailblazing projects for upgrading rural communities through carabao dairy farming and participatory policy development are known trademarks. As the agency planning executive and socio-economic researcher, she bannered the co-creation of 鈥渇elt effects鈥� of the Carabao Development Program, by spearheading significant milestone projects that will facilitate socio-economic opportunities to thousands of dairy farmers and value chain players that now have sustainable livelihood in buffalo-based enterprises.

Doc Liza is extraordinarily talented in creating development agenda and strategies. This is anchored through her ability to see the whole industry at a macro level while still being attentive to details of each sector of the agriculture industry鈥攁 talent that makes her flexible in the crafting of appropriate plans and projects that created impact in the dairy industry in general. She is a remarkable development practitioner manifesting her indelible imprints in the development of, implementation and calibration of business models, fund generation from national and international organizations, community development, strategic planning and performance management, human resource development, socio-economics and organizational culture research. Her forte is international cooperation and a generation of big-ticket projects that have allowed her agency to improve its absorptive capacity and implement strategic interventions on community-based dairy enterprise development.

Her passionate and ardent service to the government has led to notable accomplishments, including having been adjudged an outstanding employee of her agency and recognized as the 2021 UPLB Distinguished Alumnus on Community Development, and as the recipient of The Golden Wheel Award for 2022 from Rotary International District 3780 for helping to build local economies.

The University of the UU直播 congratulates Mr. Christian Kenrich O. Yu, a Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand student of the UE Basic Education Department (BED)-Caloocan, for being one of the 19 delegates selected for the Japan-UU直播 Asian Network of Exchange Students and Youths (JENESYS) Programme, the theme of which is 鈥淟anguage and Culture!鈥�

Mr. Yu, the sole UE student who qualified for the programme this year, applied for the program at the recommendation of his adviser, Mr. Roger Christopher R. Reyes, a UE BED Caloocan faculty member and a 2008 alumnus of the JENESYS Programme.

As a JENESYS delegate or student ambassador, Mr. Yu will immerse in Japanese culture and learn about Japanese society through workshops, school visits and spending time with a host family. Per Mr. Yu, he hopes that his experience in Japan will give additional knowledge that will help him improve UE BED Caloocan鈥檚 Foreign Language Club.

Mr. Yu is the most recent UE student to participate in the JENESYS Programme. Nard Hartney S. Molina, a 2013 graduate of the UE College of Business Administration-Caloocan, became a student ambassador of the JENESYS Programme in 2010, while he was a UE CBA Caloocan student.

Founded in 2007, the JENESYS Programme is an initiative by the Government of Japan (GOJ) to continuously promote a people-to-people exchange between Japan and ASEAN member states, and between Japan and other countries in the regions of the Asia-Pacific.

Applicants for the programme must be currently enrolled in high school and must not have been to Japan prior to acceptance in the programme. The JENESYS Programme in the Philippines is sponsored by the Japan International Cooperation Center in coordination with the Philippines鈥� National Youth Commission.

Congratulations and Kudos, Warrior Exchange Student!

The University of the UU直播 congratulates Mr. Anton Luis Cruz, a Grade 12 student of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Strand-Mathematics Unit of the UE Basic Education Department-Caloocan, for winning the Bronze medal in the Final Round of the Philippine International Mathematical Olympiad (PhIMO) held last October 15, 2022, via the Math Olympiads Training League Inc. (MOTLI) YouTube channel!

The competition saw numerous Math enthusiast-student competitors from private and public schools from various countries鈥攊ncluding Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines鈥攔anging from the Kindergarten and Primary levels, to the Secondary level, Junior High School and Senior High School levels.

Mr. Cruz took part in the Senior Secondary Round of the tournament, which was composed of a 90-minute written contest with a two-camera set-up. Questions for the Senior Secondary Round were composed of questions on Geometry, Functions and Graphs (Advanced Algebra), Basic Business Mathematics and Logic.

A Math competition veteran, Mr. Cruz started joining contests when he was in grade school. He won the silver medal in the Thailand International Mathematical Olympiad in December 2019. He also won the bronze medal in the 2021 PhlMO held from January to February 2021. He then joined the Hong Kong International Mathematical Olympiad, also in 2021, where he received a Certificate of Merit. Last December, Mr. Cruz joined the Final Round of Philippine International Mathematical Olympiad (PhIMO)-Worldwide, where he received a bronze medal and a certificate.

Earlier this year, Mr. Cruz also won a Bronze medal in the PhIMO Heat Round held last April 10, 2022 via Zoom.

Serving as Mr. Cruz鈥檚 coach for the competition was UE SHS Caloocan STEM-Math Unit Coordinator James Paul P. Ignacio. Mr. Cruz鈥檚 mother Luz, who serves as the Mathematics Department Head of Tinajeros National High School in Malabon City, also provided assistance in coaching Anton. Mrs. Cruz also served as her son鈥檚 trainer during his earlier stints in PhIMO.

Congratulations, SHS Math Warrior!
