The second batch of UP System Administration employees underwent a human resource development training program pioneered by UP President Angelo Jimenez’s administration. The latest iteration of UP LINANG: Mga Serye ng Pagsasanay para sa Pagpapaunlad ng Paglilingkod sa Pamantasan at Bayan was held March 11, 12, and 18 at UP Diliman. Forty-six regular employees comprised the second batch.
The UP Office of the Vice President for Administration, headed by VPA Augustus Resurreccion, specially designed the program, which is administered through the UP System Human Resources Development Office. The program intends to optimize the aptitude of administrative and professional staff for the work of supporting the university’s unique mandates and ideals. The OVPA aims to cascade the program to all UP constituent units through trainers training.

The 36-hour program had Assistant VPA (Human Resources Development) Richard Javier as resource speaker for the relationship and sensitivity component of the program. He enumerated the ego states — their range, compatibility, and toxic extremes — assumed by the self or the group and those by others during their interactions and transactions. The choice of which state is usually conditioned by past experiences or can be deliberate to pursue an end.
The second module, executed by AVPA (Organizational Development and Operations) Tiffany Adelaine Tan, explored how empathy and recognition of common good and mutual benefits can harmonize and mutually reinforce personal and institutional values, belief systems, and practices for purposes of goal sharing and mutual enablement.
The training program applied the concepts developed in the previous modules on actual administrative problems in UP, with OVPA Program Development Associate Pepito Dizon introducing analytical tools to ensure that the recommendations made by the staff meet the standard of completed staff work. CSW describes the kind of output that, upon submission to the approving authority, does not necessitate any more returning of the draft to the staff for further work.
