In this time of my life I am more outgoing. I cherish all the moments. I endure all the pain. I appreciate all the recognitions. I take all the risk and challenges. I live until the last minute. I don’t care. I want to be myself
I make sure that I handle all the atrocities in a manly manner. If I cannot, then I ask for a small help from my peer, so minimal as much as possible, just because I don’t want anyone to bear my own burden. If no one helps me, then it’s alright, for no one is compelled to defend my worth. I love my self, but not to the point of escaping life’s worst misadventures.
I want to help others. The best way to enjoy life is to share it with a company. I am happy when I see fulfillment in my own eyes; for that fulfillment happens when I see people who are satisfied. Helping others is very fulfilling. Much more eternal if I do it voluntarily.
This is how I live my life.

DAWN/ Features Special Anniversary Report Ascending further to UE’s future By: Carlo Andrew S. Ayson
Ask all the living eyes on the University’s four corners and almost everyone already know how the country’s premiere school have grown from just being that structure located at the smack of Recto to the country’s messiah of education.
Tackling the flight that has been inculcated to the hearts and minds of every UEan is not so impasse; however, the prevision on what will become to Lualhati some years after is of paramount importance.
Sixty years ago, the Grand Old Man Fransisco Dalupan saw the need to help rebuild this staggering country by erecting a messiah of learning and founded an institute of Accountancy. After a couple of years, PCCBA was granted University status and was named University of the East. Since then, University of the East has established itself being the leading institution for higher education, especially in the area of business management, especially in accounting.
A nice look-back to the Management’s major plans to resuscitate the University’s old glory will perhaps answer the question of where the University has headed.
The twelve-year strategic plan conducted and presented March last 2004 provides the skeptical but positive approach on the most recent developments and improvements needed in the University.
Such plans for improvements are focused on three predominant aspects. First, making UE the top private science and technology university; second, the ambitious yet possible plan to counter the effects of the school’s decreasing enrolment; and lastly, accreditation, which was the what the University has focused on last year. Others concern infrastructure renovations and additional modern facilities.
So what are those that are already realized?
Launched summer last year, the Wi-Fi (Wirelesss Fidelity) equipped UE Technobus is one of the University’s marketing strategy to battle its dwindling enrolment rate and to promote UE achievements and products to the far-flung provinces. According to Dr. Jesus Tanchangco, who is Executive Director for Marketing, the promotion of the University as “best and most wired” University will help boost the enrolment in the University.
UE has already proven being the country’s most-wired University’s. Countless recognition by experts in science and technology undoubtedly makes UE the leading school in terms of modern knowledge. Last year, UE was named “most wired” by Computerworld Magazine, ranking it fifteenth out of overall 100 corporations and companies. At present, the University is tagged by Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as a ‘center of information technology”
Several programs and courses that were submitted to the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) and Technical Education and Skills Authority (TESDA) are already granted to operate and are now offered in the University as additional courses. A major component of the twelve-year plan to make the Caloocan Campus the center of industrial science, technology and management is already encompassing as Caloocan Campus has started offering new courses. The setting of programs such as Bachelor of Sciecne in Tourism Management (BSTM) marks a point to increase the looming problem of enrolment decline in the Extension at the same time set the mark of competition with mainstream universities. In fact, the enrolment to the College where the Department belongs has significantly increased by an appalling 244.9 percent
In the Main campus, the Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) helped amass the enrolment rate, helping the freshmen enrolment ascend to 36 percent.
Autonomy: That is the primary goal why the administration aggressively pursues Accreditation. The current Administration revealed that Autonomy Level is the goal of the University because having such will give the university the power of deregulation for its academe and administration in the coming years.
“Accreditation is all-encompassing,” the former CHEd chairman revealed. The future of the university indeed lies a great part on the accreditation of its programs, which would determine the quality of its faculty, facilities thus even its graduates. At present, the Administration is currently sketching its own preparations on the upcoming visits by two accrediting committees: the Philippine Accrediting Association of School, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) and the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA)
The Administration has started to give the University a run for infrastructure innovations. The renovations of the High School and the Engineering buildings in Caloocan and the addendum of the Extension campus’ Elementary Department are already on-going. The new Tan Yan Kee University Park erected in the newly acquired lot along Recto Avenue is ready being exposed even before the University’s Foundation Anniversary. An estimated ten million peso is allotted for the Lucio Tan-suggested Park.
Those are what UE has achieved after its diamond Jubilee – An institution emancipating from financial intricacies and a university reviving its own glory days. But certainly there are still more to do and still more to achieve – goals that for the meanwhile, are just part of University’s “blueprint to renaissance.”
Graduate courses in the College of Dentistry, such as the P.O.P.E. or the Prostodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics, Endodontics and new Engineering courses like Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Computer Engineering will soon open in the main campus.
Another plan to “rebirth” UE by the Administration is to actually change or revise the syllabi in the two campuses. The Management realizes that the present curriculum are no longer coping with the modern times as compared to other universities’ programs and may slowly deteriorate the system of education offered in the university.
The plans of UE campuses outside Luzon—the one in Mindanao to focus on Agricultural Science and Technology and the Visayan campus to be the center of Maritime Science and Management, are still not pushed through because of the Accreditation hype. In line with the Accreditation, the University is still eyeing a Makati campus, which would only materialize once the University is granted a Level III status.
With the proposals and plans of the current management and other administrative offices, a clear, steady and solid path is laden in front of Lualhati and her children even after her Diamond Year. In contrast to those remaining problems either left by the past management or just introduced during this year’s management, it is the fact that UE had proven to be the epitome of stability and strength that will make it one of the best educational institutions in the country.
Slow but sure. This is the right description of how UE manages to deal with the fiscal crisis brought about by past challenging years. Yes, we may not have fully recovered from atrocities, but judging from way things are going, there is no direction the East is going, either slowly or steadfastly, but upward, and on top.
IN YOUR FACE!
The world where I can be myself, where democracy can best be expressed, and where freedom is almost limitless. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my world.
Life - may give you struggles, might make you afflicted, may cause pain and might even push you to your worst limit.
In politics, life is a complete confusion, ambiguous explanation, messy chaos and undeniable fixation. How can you fix Life in politics? If Life could be fixed, then it would not be anymore politics.
For a Layman, Life really sucks big time. Life means kicking someone else's ass and licking someone's butt to ascend upward. But what is Life is there is no adventure? What is life without challenges and what is life, therefore, when there is no more asses to kick?
You can quote me on that, it's all mine. My point is, you will not know what LIFE means if you will not experience the Best of it all, and the WORST of it all. Life is no circle; it's a straight line, God made curves and points to make you realize that life is too plain for you just to follow. You have to stop. JUst because life is too important to take it seriously...

UE: UNDERDOG
Amazing is it that the University of the East is now considered one of the best schools in the country. It may not be leveled same as the famous Universities that we have, still the East is considered top in its own rank.
I consider my alma mater to be one of the underdogs. UE may not be the most sought after school in the land right now, but during its prime, the University was the school with the most students all over Asia, having at most 80,000 students. Who can beat that by now?
Lualhati may not have a huge impact when being told or talked about, but our force is surfacing and is indeed creating a huge mark on board and licensure exams. This is a proven fact, for UE is now considered as the best dentistry school in the country. Ask foreign students and let them concur to my sentiment.
Before, Accountancy means UE. Isn’t it that PCCBA (Philippines College of Business Administration, before it named UE), according to some jokers, means Pa-Compute-Compute-Balanse-Agad? UE unmovingly tries to live to its mark up until now.
Famous celebrities and politicians once stepped to our universities and now proved a new spot in the showbiz and politics world. Look where Michael V, Joey De Leon and PBB winner Nene Tamayo are right now- in pure limelight. I’m not that sure if I’m going to count in Virgilio Garciliano and Jovito Palparan the recipients as well to my “I’m proud of UE because they came here” citation. But the Honorable mayor Alfredo Lim will surely count in.
Not only in academics had UE excelled, but also in extra curriculums, primarily in sports. Two decades ago, Red Warriors was the king of UAAP almost every year. Not only in basketball you can see that red painted which signals victory, but in other events as well.
If why can’t it be on the same ground as the most famous Universities that we have right now, former president Diosdado Macapagal already had given an answer during one of his speech, where he called our school “the school for the masses”.
A slap on the face to everyone who will say they are not proud of Lualhati. Its history, its student’s achievement and non-curricular feats will long enough be a proof of why the University of the East can be considered the “Best School” in the whole nation.
