SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #279 "Bato sa bato: bakit marami akong gamot? New Guidelines on Urolithiasis"
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar279 \n \nWebinar #279\nMarch 27\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nBato sa Bato: Bakit Marami Akong Gamot?\nNew Guidelines on Urolithiasis\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Marie Carmela M. Lapitan\nProfessor\, Department of Surgery\, UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital\nFellow\, Philippine Urological Association\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #279\nMarch 27\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nBato sa Bato: Bakit Marami Akong Gamot?\nNew Guidelines on Urolithiasis\n\nIn the evolving landscape of Philippine public health\, the rising prevalence of urolithiasis presents a significant clinical and socioeconomic challenge that demands a unified\, multidisciplinary response. As we navigate the complexities of metabolic disturbances and environmental factors unique to our archipelago\, it becomes imperative for frontline healthcare providers to sharpen their diagnostic acumen and therapeutic strategies.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will attempt to bridge the gap between advanced surgical interventions and the essential primary care management of nephrolithiasis\, ureterolithiasis\, and cystolithiasis. The discourse will move beyond basic pathophysiology to explore the intricate mechanisms of crystal nucleation\, growth\, and aggregation within the renal papillae\, particularly as they relate to the dietary habits and climate-induced dehydration patterns observed in the Filipino population. We will discuss the latest evidence-based protocols in medical expulsive therapy\, the nuanced application of metabolic stone workups\, and the critical role of diagnostic imaging in differentiating obstructive uropathy from masquerading abdominal pathologies. We will also highlight the pharmacological intricacies of urinary pH modulation and the technical precision required in laboratory stone analysis\, thus ensuring that every member of the patient’s care team is equipped with the latest clinical insights.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Marie Carmela M. Lapitan\, who is a Professor from the Department of Surgery of the UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital as well as a Fellow of the Philippine Urological Association. Join us as we elevate our collective standard of care\, reduce the burden of recurrent stone disease\, and optimize health outcomes for patients across the Philippines.

SUMMARY:"Breast Cancer Detection in the Philippines Using Machine Learning Approaches: A Pilot Study"
DESCRIPTION:For 2026 Women’s Month\, join the UPISC\, in partnership with the UP School of Library and Information Studies (UPSLIS)\, for a webinar entitled “Breast Cancer Detection in the Philippines Using Machine Learning Approaches: A Pilot Study” with Asst Prof. Maria Maura S. Tinao\, Graduate Program Coordinator at the SLIS at UP Diliman.\n\nIn this webinar\, Ms. Tinao will discuss the findings of her research on identifying individuals at high risk for breast cancer through advanced machine learning (ML) techniques. As AI and ML continue to reshape healthcare\, these tools enable early detection and enhanced decision-making in cancer management. Using a pilot study of women from Olongapo City and Zambales\, the research explores how algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Logistic Regression can predict health outcomes based on significant lifestyle and clinical characteristics. However\, the integration of these predictive models also highlights the need for refined data and additional predictors to improve accuracy in real-world medical applications.\n\n🗓 Date: 27 March 2026 (Friday)\n🕒 Time: 2:00 PM PHT\n💻 Via Zoom\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

The method replaces an individual’s unobserved prior expectation with the lagged average expectation of the individual’s demographic group (constructed using gender\, age\, income\, and education).\n\nThe paper applies the approach to the Philippine Consumer Expectations Survey (CES) for 2010Q1–2024Q2 and studies how the estimated “revision” measure responds to biannual changes in prices of 14 food and energy goods. The paper also implements a two-way equivalence testing validation strategy: (i) comparing group-based estimates to an overall mean-based proxy with Philippine data\, and (ii) comparing group-based estimates to rotating panel-based revisions using the U.S. Michigan Survey of Consumers (MSC).\n\nThe resulting revisions using the CES data show sensitivity to price changes in specific food and energy goods. The equivalence testing finds that the group-based coefficients are valid as they are different from an overall sample mean-based revision. Results using the MSC data show that our proxy is valid as the proxy for lagged expectations and revisions exhibit strong correlation\, minimal errors\, and negligible bias with their corresponding true values. – with Cymon Kayle Lubangco and Mark Holmes\n\n📝 Please register using the links below or by scanning the QR codes in the poster:\n📍 Onsite: https://tinyurl.com/32wdr5t8\n📍 Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/3ukrjjp8\n\n👀 We’d love to see you!\n\nSource: UP School of Economics Facebook

SUMMARY:Kukasina Kubaha on the archive and queerness in a Thai borderland
DESCRIPTION:🪻Heo/Geo Lecture Series (March 2026)🪻\n\nKukasina Kubaha on the archive and queerness in a Thai borderland\n\nHow do we queer the archive?\n\nIn the late 1980s\, Thailand’s first lesbian magazine was published. Although most of the readership were concentrated in Bangkok and other metropols\, there were entries from ‘women loving women’ from Patani —the borderland of Thailand and Malaysia where the Muslim minority are a majority. This is an area where Queer stories have been silently erased from history. Much has been said about male homosexuality in Islamic history and culture\, and while there is a rise in feminist scholarship in Patani\, it only seems to focus on the experiences of cis-female and heterosexual women. Furthermore\, there is a tendency to compare the feminist movements that are happening in Patani to the Middle Eastern Arab world\, but few have compared the situation to neighbouring Islamic societies such as Malaysia\, Indonesia\, and Brunei Darussalam.\n\nFor the fourth talk in the Heo/Geo Lecture Series for 2026\, it is with pride that the UP Department of Geography and the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS) announce a jointly-sponsored talk: Mapping Sapphic Patani\, Tracing the Southeast Asian “Queer Regional Imagination” to be given by Kukasina Kubaha from the University of Hamburg via Zoom. The talk is on Friday\, 27 March 2026 at 5:30PM [UTC +8 Philippine Standard Time (PHT) / 11:30AM UTC +1 Central European Time (CET)]. The talk is also in celebration of the National Women’s Month in the Philippines.\n\nIn this project presentation\, Kukasina Kubaha intends to trace the queer movements in Islamic Southeast Asia\, especially in works of art\, to see the negotiations between the self and religion\, the conversations\, and the influences they had on each other. Thus\, mapping and archiving the ‘queer regional imagination’ (Gopinath\, 2018.) The project will touch upon two main notions: the archive and Queerness. By delving into entanglements of Southeast Asian queer art networks along with its connections to outside the region\, the talk intends to ‘queer’ the archive both in terms of the thinking about the archive as not static\, and to tell more stories or Queers who are often left out of main historiography\, while also challenging the notion of archival violence and how the archive can be imagined otherwise.\nKukasina Kubaha is a translator\, writer\, curator and dreamer of better worlds. She is currently completing a Master’s degree at the Universitat Hamburg\, where she is pondering the question of the archive and how to build a counter-archive of queer women in Thailand’s Deep South through literature\, film\, and contemporary art. Her recent historical fantasy\, ‘Nidra Nirat: A Dream Depository’ is published with New Naratif (https://newnaratif.com/nidra-nirat-a-dream-depository/) and a collage of prints she made based on her archival research is exhibited in the upcoming edition of Southeast Asia Queer Cultural Festival which can be found here: https:// seaqcf.net/. Her curatorial projects also aim at using art as a form of activism and advocacy.\n\nThe Heo/Geo Lecture Series is a monthly lecture given by academic scholars\, field-based geography practitioners\, members of the local community\, and spatial justice advocates to share their knowledge- and practice-based research undertakings. Jointly presented by the UP Department of Geography and the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS)\, the Heo/Geo Lecture Series which previously underwent several iterative rebranding positions geography as a discipline that not only straddles the realms of natural/physical and social sciences\, humanities\, political ecologies\, regional and area studies\, GI technologies and geospatial storytelling\, it is also a vibrant and convivial space that welcomes multiplicities and plural voices. The name Heo/Geo is itself an accommodation to the various understandings\, meanings and pronunciations of geography in its indigenous and vernacular forms and the Anglicized name that has since been adapted in the local lexicon.\n\nThis Heo/Geo Lecture is presented by the Human Geography (HUG) and the Media\, Literary Geographies and Geohumanities (MELANGE) research groups of the UP Department of Geography and is in line with the SDG #4 (Quality Education) and #15 (Life on Land) of the United Nations.\n\nTo participate in the lecture\, click this link to register via Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/2phrrfdp\n—–\nReferences:\nGopinath\, Gayatri.

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #280 Kailangan ba magkasakit para matulungan ng PhilHealth? Understanding YAKAP
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar280 \n  \nWebinar #280\nApril 10\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nKailangan Ba Magkasakit Para Matulungan ng PhilHealth?\nUnderstanding YAKAP\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Edwin M. Mercado\nPresident and CEO\nPhilippine Health Insurance Corporation\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #280\nApril 9\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nKailangan Ba Magkasakit Para Matulungan ng PhilHealth?\nUnderstanding YAKAP\n\nThe paradigm of modern medicine is currently navigating a pivotal transition from a reactive\, curative-focused framework toward a proactive\, preventive health ecosystem. For decades\, the Philippine healthcare landscape has predominantly functioned under a “break-fix” model\, where clinical intervention occurs primarily at the manifestation of acute pathology. However\, to achieve sustainable Universal Health Care (UHC) and mitigate the burgeoning burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)\, a systemic realignment is imperative.\n\nCentral to this transformation is the “Yaman ng Kalusugan Program\,” more colloquially recognized as the YAKAP Program. This initiative represents a sophisticated evolution in health financing and service delivery\, moving beyond simple inpatient subsidies to a comprehensive primary care benefit package. In integrating predictive health surveillance and early diagnostic interventions\, the YAKAP Program seeks to institutionalize preventive behavior at the grassroots level. In this week’s webinar\, we will discuss how this program utilizes clinical pathways and risk-stratification to identify vulnerabilities before they escalate into high-acuity\, high-cost medical emergencies. The discourse will further dissect the intricacies of health systems strengthening by emphasizing the role of digital health integration and the longitudinal monitoring of patient outcomes.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Edwin M. Mercado\, the President and CEO of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation\, who will discuss insights into the shifting reimbursement landscapes and the professional responsibility to champion health literacy. Join us to gain a better understanding of how the YAKAP Program serves as the cornerstone of a resilient Philippine health system in order to ensure that every Filipino is not just insured against financial ruin\, but actively protected against physiological decline through evidence-based\, preventive care.

SUMMARY:Ang Tubig\, na Tahanan
DESCRIPTION:Ang Tubig\, na Tahanan\n\nIsang pangwakas na eksibit mula sa Paglayag at Paglaya Program ng Concerned Artists of the Philippines\, UP CSWCD Research and Extension for Development Office (REDO) at mga Komunidad ng Mangingisda ng Pamalakaya\n\nSimula pa noong 2024\, naging katuwang ng Concerned Artists of the Philippines ang Pamalakaya sa paglulubog ng mga artista ng bayan sa mga komunidad ng mangingisda. Dito lubos na napag-aaralan ang malubhang kondisyon ng nasabing sektor—ang panganib sa kanilang kabuhayan at tirahan dulot ng lumalalang kondisyon ng Laguna de Bay at Manila Bay\, dahil na rin sa mga reclamation projects at dredging na isinasagawa sa kanilang lugar.\n\nSa suporta ng Office of Extension Coordination\, Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development\, napalawig ng CAP at UP CSWCD REDO ang programang ito bilang Paglayag at Paglaya\, kung saan nagsagawa ang organisasyon ng mga art workshop sa mga kabataan ng komunidad. Ang eksibit na ito ay ang kulminasyon ng nasabing proyekto\, tampok ang mga sining na nilikha ng mga mangingisda mula sa mga workshop\, pati na ang mga sining na ginawa ng artista ng CAP na sumama sa mga paglubog.\n\n📍 Abril 11 – Mayo 9\, 2026\nPasinaya: Abril 11\, 2026 2:00-4:00PM\nUniversity of the Philippines College of Social Work and Community Development\n1st Floor Walkway\n\nSource: College of Social Work and Community Development Facebook
