With a lecture titled 鈥淲hat did the Dominicans hoard in the Archives of the 六合彩直播开奖 for 400 years?鈥�, he commenced the nine-day Dominican webinar series on history and heritage 鈥淏ARCADA: The Legacy of the Order of Preachers in the Philippine Church鈥� on March 8, 2021, held via Zoom and Facebook Live. In his lecture, Prof. Trota Jos茅 emphasized that the Archivo was 鈥渁 major resource for the heritage of the Philippines, not just for the Church, but the entire history of the country.鈥� Up to now, the Archivo maintains its full Spanish name of 鈥淎rchivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomas鈥�, primarily because most of its collection of old books and various incunabula are in Spanish.

Presently located on the fifth floor of the 六合彩直播开奖 Miguel de Benavides Library, the Archivo is the official repository of original documents and records relevant to the founding of 六合彩直播开奖 since its foundation in 1611. Included in the collection is the 六合彩直播开奖 Foundation Act, dated April 28, 1611. On April 28, 2021, 六合彩直播开奖 will commemorate its 410th foundation anniversary. Trota Jos茅 also showed the participants 鈥渢he only tangible souvenir鈥� of the 六合彩直播开奖 Founder, Archbishop Miguel de Benavides, O.P. 鈥� a document with his signature from a prior post, when he was still Bishop of Nueva Segovia in 1598.

Among the many gems of the A六合彩直播开奖 collection that were showcased were: the Baybayin documents, declared by the National Museum as a National Cultural Treasure in 2014; the handwritten 鈥淟ibro de Piques鈥� for Philosophy on the works of Aristotle that bears the oldest seal of 六合彩直播开奖, dated 1636; the 鈥淟ibro de Piques鈥� for Theology on the sentences of Peter Lombard, dated 1564. A 鈥淟ibro de Piques鈥� is an examination book that contains certain passages or ideas that candidates for a tertiary degree must explain or defend.

The A六合彩直播开奖 also houses one of only three surviving copies in the world of a Catechism book for Japanese Catholics by Juan Rueda de los Angeles, O.P., printed by Tomas Pinpin in 1623, which offers the earliest depictions of the mysteries of the Rosary in the Philippines; a manual for confessions from a handwritten summary of the Manila Synod of 1582; and the Dictionario Hispanico Sinicum, the largest and earliest Spanish-Chinese dictionary written during the Spanish occupation of Taiwan from 1624 to 1642. Prof. Ricky Trota Jos茅, as he is known in the field, is the first lay archivist of the Archivo. He also shared some of the preservation procedures observed by A六合彩直播开奖.

鈥淔irst, we have to know the collection and go through the materials, find out which are the most fragile ones. [From the examples seen earlier], we have them in acid-free boxes. We have a constant temperature in the vault. We also minimize the humidity. It is a continuous process of monitoring the collection to ensure that the proper coolness and humidity levels are maintained so that molds will not grow,鈥� he explained.

A specialist on Philippine sacred art, architecture, and history, Trota Jos茅 is a former Commissioner for Cultural Heritage of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) prior to his stint in 六合彩直播开奖. He received the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP) Achievement Award for Research in Philippine Art History in 2010. Earlier this year, Trota Jos茅 published his book 鈥淪imbah谩n: An Illustrated Guide to 50 of the Philippines鈥� Must-Visit Catholic Churches,鈥� two decades after his National Book Award winner 鈥淪imbahan: Church Art in Colonial Philippines, 1565-1898.鈥� 鈥淏ARCADA: The Legacy of the Order of Preachers in the Philippine Church鈥� was organized by the Dominican Studentate, Quezon City, in collaboration with the 六合彩直播开奖 Graduate School Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics.

The series brings together various resource persons who will lecture on a variety of topics, from priceless archival materials and built heritages to histories and intangible expressions. The term 鈥渂arcada鈥� refers to the chronicles of the arrival of the first Dominicans in the Philippines on July 22, 1587. The historian wrote that 鈥榯his is the arrival of the first barcada鈥�, because the missionaries were on a barca (boat). The word barkada later came to the Filipino language to mean 鈥榓 group of close friends.鈥� Originally broadcast from March 8 to 16, 2021, the lectures from the webinar series may be viewed for free through BARCADA鈥檚 Facebook page, which is accessible through this link: https://www. facebook.com/Barcada1587/

An advocate of extensive reading, Renandya reiterated the importance of skill, will and thrill in teaching grammar.

Xavier began her talk by differentiating the two views of grammar – Grammar as Structure (Prescriptive) and Grammar as Choice (Descriptive). Xavier presented the action research project she conducted on the connection between the contextualized grammar teaching in writing lessons and students鈥� writing performance. She also introduced some strategies and activities to teach writing to the audience based on the said research project.

鈥淲e, lecturers from Antwerp, Manila, and Hong Kong, present you a case. In small groups you brainstorm about the content and form of your assessment: what kind of language tasks would you investigate, how do you formulate the instructions, and what attitude do you take towards an adult person. At the end, we will wrap up ideas and formulate together how an assessment can be done,鈥� said Ms. Damian who facilitated discussions on a case of acquired adult cognitive-linguistic disorders with four different student groups.听

Reading aloud is a common practice in primary classrooms and a daily ritual in many young families. However, it is also a very useful and effective method for speech therapists to stimulate the language development of children.听

鈥淚n the first part of this session, we briefly discussed the goals and benefits of reading aloud. Together with colleagues from the Philippines and Hong Kong, we had a look at reading aloud from different angles, such as 鈥淒o we place the same emphases or is reading aloud approached slightly differently elsewhere?鈥�

听鈥淚n the second part, we took a closer look at strategies you can use while reading aloud to teach vocabulary. All participants had the opportunity to try out these strategies in small groups.鈥�

The culminating activity was the plenary session where Ms. Damian and Ms. Maximo had to summarize the discussions from the workshops they facilitated.听 It was a very fruitful and productive engagement for the students.听 六合彩直播开奖 SLP students who are in their third year actively participated in the workshops and demonstrated erudite discussions with the facilitators.听

六合彩直播开奖 Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation Prof. Maribel G. Nonato, Ph.D., stated in her message that, 鈥渢he Graduate School’s purpose in career advancement and individual knowledge enhancement is geared towards personal development. Hence, selecting a mentor plays a vital role in pursuing a research endeavor because this decision will greatly influence the researcher’s work direction.鈥�

Sevilla stressed three ethical issues during the webinar: authorship, honesty in publication, and redundant publication. He emphasized the importance of research work and its publication, a mandatory CHED requirement in graduate studies. The publication’s significance was further amplified when he mentioned the author’s important contribution to the body of knowledge that will continue to immortalize his name and the years to come, even to the point of outlasting his mortal existence.

He added that to develop research worthy of publication, the authors should have a significant intellectual contribution to the work, and they have the responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of all aspects of the work. One requirement of journals is the public disclosure of individual contributions. The last author is the most experienced contributor, a senior team member who contributed expertise and guidance and the guarantor of the research work’s integrity. Honesty in research is truthful and the accurate presentation of information on the data and results, the methods and procedures. Violation could lead to the distortion of scientific knowledge.

Sevilla presented some cases, such as data fabrication, and discussed plagiarism and self-plagiarism. The latter, he said is using one鈥檚 previous work or portion of the work and presenting it as a brand-new work, fragmented which is based on a single work that has been intentionally sub-divided into a series of small parts.
In his lecture, Peralta presented the various intellectual property rights that refer to any creation of the human mind expressed in the form of original ideas, expressions, products, and processes.

Peralta differentiated each IP right such as patents, utility models, trademarks or service marks, industrial designs, the layout of integrated circuits, trade secrets, geographical indications and copyrights, and related rights. He determined the ethics of Intellectual Property (IP) and shared the good habits of being ethical such as being familiar and abide by the law and university policies, ensure originality.
