𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗔𝗡 || Nagsama-sama ang nasa higit sandaang mag-aaral ng BA Sociology sa ginanap na Team Building Activity noong ika-16 ng Setyembre 2026 sa CAS Annex 2 Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH1) na may temang “𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗴-𝘂𝗯𝗮𝗻: 𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗖 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆.” Ito ay pinangunahan ng UPLB Department of Social Sciences, sa pakikipagtulungan sa UPLB Ugnayan ng Pahinungod.

Ang temang “𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗴-𝘂𝗯𝗮𝗻” ay hango sa wikang Cebuano na nangangahulugang “pakikipag-ugnayan” o “pakikisama,” na sumasaklaw sa mga pangunahing katangian ng pagdadalubhasa sa, at pag-aaral ng lipunan.

Naging daan ang nasabing pagtitipon upang panandaliang makapagpahinga ang mga mag-aaral mula sa mga pang-akademikong gawain, at higit na makilala at makasalamuha ang kapwa-mag-aaral mula sa iba’t ibang baitang ng programa.

Higit sa lahat, pinagtitibay ng nasabing aktibidad ang pagtataguyod sa diwa ng ‘𝗦𝗼𝘀𝘆𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗵𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗨𝗣𝗟𝗕.’

LOOK || The DSS Public Service Committee, alongside volunteer faculty members trained in cultural mapping, successfully launched the first installment of Cultural Mapping Lite (CMAP Lite) this August, focusing on immovable tangible (built) heritage. The initiative kicked off on August 3 with a full-day webinar, followed by a self-directed exercise where participants mapped the built heritage within their own local communities.

Twenty-five participants from various LGUs, educational institutions, and public and private organizations joined the webinar. While several participants have already submitted their mapped heritage sites, submissions remain open in consideration of recent events.

Meanwhile, CMAP Lite Batch Two is currently accepting participants. This upcoming session will focus on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) and will follow the two-part format of Batch One, with the webinar scheduled on October 19, 2026.

CMAP Lite is a shorter, needs-specific adaptation of the full cultural mapping training. This specialized version is designed specifically to address the operational challenges frequently faced by local government units (LGUs) and interested organizations, particularly constraints on budget, manpower, and time.
While standard comprehensive training typically spans at least five days, CMAP Lite focuses between one and three heritage domains, selected based on the unique needs and priorities of the partner institutions. CMAP Lite also incorporates flexibility in its delivery, offering face-to-face, hyperflex, or fully online learning modes to accommodate varying organizational capacities.
Conceptualized by Asst. Prof. Ryan Alvin M. Pawilen and co-developed with Asst. Prof. Bernardo M. Arellano III, as early as 2024, this initiative aims to enrich the public service offerings of the Department of Social Sciences (DSS) at UPLB, providing LGUs with a practical, accessible pathway to fulfill their legally mandated cultural mapping duties.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?
As mentioned in the backgrounder, this is for LGUs and organizations, even individuals, who are facing limitations in budget, manpower, or time for training alone but want to start somewhere for cultural mapping. The training is also designed with the goal that the knowledge and skills acquired for a certain heritage domain can be transferrable to other domains or make understanding easier.

Taos-pusong nakikiramay ang UP Los Baños Departamento ng Agham Panlipunan sa pagpanaw ng Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Panitikan, Dr. Resil B. Mojares, noong Setyembre 5, 2026.

Isa siyang matibay na haligi ng ating kasaysayan at panitikan. Bilang tagapagtatag at direktor ng Cebuano Studies Center, pinangunahan niya ang pagpapalalim sa kamalayan at pagkakakilanlang Sugboanon na nagpayaman sa pambansang diskurso sa lokal at pambansang kasaysayan at literatura. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga makabuluhang akda tulad ng Brains of the Nation at Waiting for Mariang Makiling, ipinakita niya ang husay ng mga Pilipino sa pagbuo ng kaalaman at kasaysayang kultural. Hindi kailanman malilimutan ng Pilipinas ang kanyang ambag bilang ang tinaguriang “Visayan Titan of Letters”.

Pinalawak ni Dr. Mojares ang historiograpiyang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay-diin sa mga lokal at rehiyonal na salaysay, partikular ang kultura at panitikang Sugboanon, upang buuin ang mas malalim na pambansang pagkakakilanlan. Gamit ang kanyang interdisiplinaryong pananaw na nag-uugnay sa panitikan, antropolohiya, heograpiya, at kasaysayan, pinatunayan niya na ang tunay na kasaysayan ng bansa ay hindi lamang nakasentro sa kabisera’t karatig-lugar ng ating bansa, kundi buhay na buhay at matatagpuan rin sa mga rehiyon at lalawigan.

Ang kanyang mga sinulat at pananaliksik ay magsisilbing liwanag na gagabay sa mga susunod na henerasyon ng mga iskolar at manunulat. Paalam at maraming salamat, Dr. Mojares.

Kinasingkasing nga pahasubo gikan sa UPLB Departamento sa Agham Panlipunan sa mga kabanay sa atong National Artist for Literature nga si Dr. Resil B. Mojares sa pagtaliwan niya katong ika-5 sa Septeymbre 2026.

Dako kaayo ang iyang natampo sa kasaysayan ug literatura, ilabi na isip founding director sa Cebuano Studies Center nga nagpabuhi sa kultura ug garbo isip mga Bisaya. Pinaagi sa iyang mga libro sama sa Brains of the Nation at Waiting for Mariang Makiling, Gipakita niya ang kahanas sa mga Pilipino sa pagpalambo sa kinaadman ug kasaysayan sa kultura. Giila siya isip “Visayan Titan of Letters” tungod sa iyang walay paglubad nga dedikasyon sa pagpaambit sa atong kabilin pinaagi sa iyang mga sinulat.
Gipauswag ni Dr. Mojares ang historiograpiya sa Pilipinas pinaagi sa paghatag og dakong bili sa mga lokal ug rehiyonal nga kasaysayan, ilabi na ang kultura ug literaturang Bisaya, aron maporma ang mas tibuok nga hulagway sa atong nasud. Pinaagi sa pagbahin sa antropolohiya, literatura, heyograpiya, ug kasaysayan sa iyang mga pagtuon, iyang gipamatud-an nga ang tinuod nga kasaysayan sa Pilipinas wala ra nagtuyok sa kaulohan o kabisera--buhi kaayo ug mabati man usab kini sa mga rehiyon ug probinsya.
Dili mapapas ang iyang legasiya sa mga kasingkasing sa mga magbabasa ug mga iskolar tungod sa iyang talagsaong kinaadman ug kamaayo. Daghang salamat sa imong mga giya ug kabilin, Dr. Mojares. Pahuway sa dayon.
