Alambra’s vision as UP Staff Regent is to advocate for the interests of the administrative staff and REPS (Research, Extension and Professional Staff) within and beyond the UP BOR through active participation in formulating policies that enhance employee benefits and incentives. Her mission is to strengthen UP as a leading research university through collaborative efforts between the academic sector and administrative personnel through such actions as: introducing new incentives; promoting democratic consultation in promoting employees’ welfare and benefits; reviewing and advocating fair policies; upholding transparency; championing sectoral representation for the REPS; and, introducing specialized integrated schools.
With its 11 members, the Board of Regents is the highest decision-making body of the UP System. The Staff Regent, representing professional and administrative personnel, was included in the BOR with the passage of Republic Act No. 9500 or the new UP Charter of 2008.
