BR. ANDREW GONZALEZ FSC COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (BAG CED)
IN COOPERATION WITH DE LA SALLE LIPA CONDUCTED a 10-day
summer training for selected Lipa City public school teachers on
May 5-16 at DLS Lipa.
Initiated by Br. Kenneth Martinez FSC, President and Chancellor
of De La Salle Lipa, the free training program was participated
in by Math, Science, and English elementary and public school
teachers from different districts of Lipa City, Batangas. BAG CED
was commissioned to provide the training.
BAG CED trainers included Dr. Maricar Prudente, Dr. Socorro
Aguja, Dr. Lydia Roleda, Dr. Minie Rose Lapinid, and Pauline
Mangulabnan for the Math and Science training programs.
The English group was headed by Dr. Remedios Miciano,
Dr. Joahna Estacio, Dr. Jennifer de Ramos, and
Ms. Bernie Gonzalo.
The BAG CED teacher training program is now on its fourth
year of implementation. The College was commissioned by the
Department of Education in 2008 to train 80 English teachers
from different regions in the country.
In 2009 and 2011, the college has trained 600 public school
teachers from Tanauan City in Batangas for English, Math and
Science. BAG CED wishes to pursue this engagement with
different local government units all of over the country to train
more public school teachers.

(IAMURE) by naming him this year’s
Outstanding World Researcher.
The awarding ceremony, which was part
of the 2014 World Research Festival,
took place last May 1 at the Radisson
Blu Hotel in Cebu City.
The Outstanding World Researcher
Award is given every year to researchers
who have global research contributions
through scientific articles in international
journal publications, speakership and
lectureship engagements in research,
social responsibility to the scientific
community as editor and peer reviewer
in national and international journals, and
an H-Index of 15. Criteria for judging
include international publication, citation
count, and social responsibility.
This year’s panel of judges included
noted professors and researchers
Dr. Pedro Bernaldes of Osaka University,
Dr. Jose Martinez of University of Puerto
Rico, Dr. Masheshvari Naidu of University
of Kwazulu- Natal, Dr. Moktar Lamari of
University of Quebec, and Dr. Djuwari of
STIE Perbanas Surabaya.
DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LAW AND THINC OFFICE
CORP. LAUNCHED the first Law and Technology Hub in the
country, dubbed “MyLegalWhiz Hub,” at the 6th floor of the
DLSU Henry Sy, Sr. Hall last March.
MyLegalWhiz is the latest innovation in legal research in the
Philippines. Its focus is on the efficient delivery of legal knowledge
using cloud-computing technology.
Students and legal professionals now can access organized and
updated legal articles, cases and discussions anytime and on
any device.
The hub aims to showcase the latest technological developments
(both in hardware and software) that can make law students,
practitioners and educators in the Philippines efficient in their
research, study, and work.
Legal study and research have traditionally been paper-intensive.
The MyLegalWhiz hub, which will host the latest technology
in legal research and information delivery, aspires to be at the
forefront in changing this status quo by reducing and eventually
eliminating paper dependency and wastage.
This will make the legal profession and practice in the country at
par with developed jurisdictions in the world. Thus, aside from
stimulating this technological awareness in the community, it
also aligns De La Salle University with international environmental
best practices and bolsters its movement for a “greener” and
environmentally friendly campus.
3 Lasallians in Top 10 list of 2014 TOSP-NCR THREE DLSU STUDENTS WERE
INCLUDED in this year’s Ten
Outstanding Students of the Philippines
in the National Capital Region (TOSP-
NCR), which was released last May 5.
Jose Miguel Moreno from the College
of Liberal Arts, Justin Sucgang from the
College of Law, and Ira Gayll Zamudio
from the School of Economics were
cited as exemplary students alongside
seven pupils from universities in the
National Capital Region.
DLSU President and Chancellor
Br. Ricardo Laguda FSC issued a
statement regarding the three Lasallians
who made it to this year’s roster of
TOSP-NCR.
“Being part of the TOSP NCR also
presents a responsibility and a
challenge to engage in the task of
transforming our nation. I am confident
that you will carry the values of Faith,
Service and Communion in performing
your tasks of serving our nation.”
Moreno, Sucgang, and Zamudio will
move on to represent the University in
the TOSP nationals.

THERE IS A NEED TO MANAGE
TRANSITIONS as the University starts the
new academic year, Br. Ricardo Laguda
FSC emphasized in his message to the
Lasallian community at the University
General Assembly (UGA) last May 30 at the
Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium.
Br. Ricky highlighted the importance of
adopting the Lasallian Core Curriculum,
which will serve as the foundation of
student development in the University . He
noted the importance of developing in the
students the Expected Lasallian Graduate
Attributes, otherwise known as ELGAs.
He also stressed the importance of
managing the human resources of the
University, through continuous training and
“re-tooling”, with the aim of becoming more
relevant to student learners.
Underscoring the Lasallian Mission,
Br. Ricky said it should be embedded,
in the formation and development of all
stakeholders.
“Only when we do something
transformational can we truly say we have
returned to our foundational charism,
resulting in a profound renewal of faith and
prayer as Lasallians,” Br. Ricky ended.
After delivering his UGA message in the
morning, Br. Ricky presented in a townhall
meeting the plans on the new academic
calendar in AY 2015-2016, drafted by
a committeee, to generate inputs from
members of the community.

New study measures DLSU research productivity
IN A RECENT STUDY CONDUTED BY DLSU ADMINISTRATORS,
research production of full-time faculty members of the University
was measured in terms of the number of Scopus-indexed research
output between 1982 and 2013, with DLSU as affiliation.
This was compared with individual attributes like gender, age,
faculty rank, having a doctorate degree, age at which doctorate
degree was earned, doctorate degree earned in a foreign university,
service longevity, academic inbreeding, academic mobility.
It was found that among these attributes, only faculty rank,
doctorate, and longevity correlate significantly at 0.01 level
with Scopus output, with Pearson-r of .418, .214, and .155,
respectively, for a population size of 425.
Metrics for gender, age, service longevity, doctorate, doctorate age,
foreign doctorate, faculty rank, academic inbreeding, academic
mobility, academic diversity, age spread, doctorate age spread, and
faculty inflow were built from individual faculty attributes, and also
compared with Scopus output. It is found that only the faculty rank,
and faculty inflow indices correlate significantly, both at 0.01 level,
with departmental Scopus output, with Pearson-r of .713 and .444,
respectively, for a population of 36.
About 75% of the University’s Scopus output are co-authored.
Using the tools and concepts of Social Network Analysis,
co-authorship network maps showed graphs that tend to become
more elaborate as departments go up the ranks in terms of Scopus
output, indicating a correlation between collaborative research
activities and research production.
Statistical analysis showed that the number of co-authorships
correlates significantly with research production at 0.01 level, with
Pearson-r of .867 at the departmental level. On the individual level,
degree centrality correlates significantly at 0.01 level with Scopus
output among the “outlier” population, a Pearson-r of .723. The
stronger correlation between network metrics and Scopus output
compared to those of attribute metrics shows that working with
others, more than the status of individuals, is a more effective driver
of research productivity.
The study was headed by Dr. Robert Roleda, Dr. Lydia Roleda,
Dr. Dominador Bombongan, Jr., Dr. Raymond Tan, and Dr. Alvin
Culaba.
