FEU – EAC’s holds 23rd Commencement Exercises
Mary Grace A. Untal
“This is the 21st century; rapid change
is the order of the day. You must keep
up or be left behind.” This was the
challenge posed to the graduates by
Engr. Felimon T. Berba, Jr., President
Emeritus of Philippine Quality Award
Foundation and the guest speaker
during the 23rd Commencement
Exercises of FEU - East Asia College
on February 21, 2009.
Engr. Berba, considered a national
role model for his advocacy for
quality and productivity, recalled how
the Philippines was the envy of our
neighboring countries 40 years ago.
Today, we lag behind these neighbors
we helped progress. This, he said, was
due to our lack of competitiveness,
our poor hindsight about science and
technology as the prime mover of
progress.
He lamented that our government
has neglected our educational system
and that our young people are now afraid
of Science and Math. To aggravate
further, the Philippines, he said, is now
considered the most corrupt country to
be in.
This, he averred, should not
be allowed to continue. He upheld
discontinuation of gross misuse of
technology. He added that we must
be ready for recovery. “Students must
be able to adapt to the rapid change in
their midst,” he said. He also suggested
the government to create knowledgebased environment for Information
Age, set policy that would specifically
address research and development,
attract offshore experts to go back and
share, and create investors among the
graduates we produce. The Philippines,
according to him, still has a fighting
chance to survive.
An engineer himself, he looks
up to engineers and IT professionals

The Philippine Society of Information
Technology Educators (PSITE) held its
11th National Convention in Dipolog
City on February 26-28, 2009, with
“Emerging Trends in ICT Education” as
its theme. The event was participated in
by PSITE members all over the country,
plus a bevy of guests from the industry,
the academe, and the government, such
as Hon. Evelyn Uy, Mayor of Dipolog
City; Ms. Melizza Tan of the Commission
on Information and Communications
Technology, DOST Undersecretary
Hon. Forunato De la Peña, Ms. Ditas
Formoso of CHED-TPITE, and Hon.
Sen Manny Villar among others. There
were several presentations about ICT
from the perspective of the industry, the
academe and the government.
Part of the presentations was about
the best practices of PSITE-identified
academic institutions in the field of
instruction, extension and linkages, and
research. FEU - East Asia College was
identified as one of those having best
practices in instruction. As such, ITE
Director Ms. Evelyn Ruth B.M. Manuel
was chosen as one of the resource
speakers.
The presentation of FEU - EAC
centered on how much the College is
anchored on its vision/mission statements
which are reinforced by its core values,
how these values are incorporated in
the design of its curricular offerings, and

Steganography, occupational safety and health
for CRC’s 6th Faculty Conference
Mary Grace A. Untal
Two very interesting and timely
topics were the focus of the College
Research Center’s (CRC) 6th Faculty
Conference held on February 18,
2009.
Mr. Danny G. Umoso
(ITE)
discussed
his
paper
entitled
“Encryption/Decryption
Techniques
for Information Security,” a research
project which aimed to develop an
information security program called
steganography. This program was
found capable of embedding or hiding
a file into an image file. Evaluation
and performance tests using ISO/IEC
9126 (an evaluation tool for software
development) were conducted for
the acceptability of the program. The
program proved to be effective in hiding
any information and is easy to use.
Engr. Erwin B. Daculan (ECE), on
the other hand, discussed his paper
“Integrating
Occupational
Safety
and Health (OSH) in Educational
Curriculum” based on the observations
he had in the implementation of OSH
Mr. Umoso
Engr. Daculan
in
the EE/ECE Department of the
University of San Carlos in Cebu.
He had been motivated by the very
encouraging evaluation results of the
three-year experience he had with
OSH that he proposes incorporating
the same in the courses offered in our
College.
“Where Industry Meets Academe”
Ma. Ruth S. Que
True to its word, FEU – East Asia
College makes it possible for its
students to connect with the industry.
From February 24 - March 6, 2009,
ten FEU-EAC graduates availed of
the free English Proficiency Training
sponsored by IBM-Daksh. Through
the joint effort of Mr. Jarvy Muyargas,
Director of IALAP; and Ms. Victoria
Sabong, Assistant Manager for
Recruitment Marketing and Channels
of IBM-Daksh; the training was made
possible.
The English Proficiency Training
handled by IBM Daksh held at the
ERC gave a good exposure about
the call center industry and the
professional world to some FEU-EAC
graduate participants. Mr. Emerson
Ian Maristela and Mr. Roberto Anselmo
Claudio, two seasoned trainers from
the said company, handled the training
for two weeks to help the participants
improve their English communication
skills. They were allowed to use
English only
during the training,
which helped them improve their
oral communication skills. Real-time
corrections of mistakes committed
were given to participants to help
them avoid the same mistakes. Varied
activities using English were utilized to
bring out the confidence in using
the language among the participants.
2 iTamaraw
Aside from activities in English
enhancement, the trainers provided
the participants real call center training
which included real company rules
and regulations during the training,
concepts,
and
some
technical
information necessary for call center
agents. The participants then delivered
and demonstrated in English all the
concepts and skills taught to them.
The following are the graduates
who joined and survived the rigorous
training:

The graduate trainees and their IBM trainers
Of the 15 participants at the start of
the training, only ten were able to finish
the program with flying colors. It was
their clear goal to improve themselves,
coupled with determination, hardwork
and patience, that led them to
complete the two-week training. On
the last training day, invitation letters
were given to those who passed the
assessment. This means that if they
apply in IBM, they have the privilege
of a final interview and get rid of the
other application processes usually
undergone by ordinary applicants.
Almost all of the trainees gave
positive comments about the training,
because it definitely helped them
improve their communication skills.
Not only was their proficiency in
English polished, but also their outlook
in life and the business world as well.
This was an opportunity that opened
doors to many of them. Most of them
are ECE graduates, but they saw this
training as another venue for them to
hone their skills in communication.
They learned and discovered that in
the call center industry, one does not
stop at being an agent; if one is good
and proves his worth, he can go up the
ladder and be the next leader of the
company (just like their trainers who
both started as agents).
Commencement Exercises…
as intermediaries who transform
technology. Because of the rapid
change in technology, he advised
our graduates to continue updating
themselves and be held for honesty
and integrity in the workplace. Thus, he
mused, moral and ethical values must
be imbedded in the school curriculum.
He also insinuated that teachers
must be reeducated and their skills
upgraded in major technologies.
Besides, he noted, quality teachers
produce quality students.
The Philippines, according to Engr.
Berba, has got several advantages in
the recovery that’s going to take place
after the global recession. He pointed
out English language proficiency,
large pool of trained and trainable
workforce, and open opportunities for
our graduates to be employed
globally as some of our strengths.
PSITE…
how these well-designed curricula are
implemented in instruction. Much of the
discussion was focused on, among others,
the value-added services that the College
is giving to the students. These valueadded services are put into practice in
all aspects of operations in the College,
from the day the students apply for
entrance exam until the day they get their
school credentials. Likewise, other best
practices highlighted in the presentation
were the extensive internship program,
the College’s industry-relevant curricula,
faculty immersion, and state-of-the-art
laboratories.
It was quite heartwarming to note
that the different best institutional
practices discussed by other speakers
are all being practiced at FEU - East
Asia College.
In a separate occasion, Ms. Cora
Delgado of the ERC was also invited as
Resource Person and Facilitator in the
PSITE-NCR monthly seminar- workshop
(MSW) held at the University of the
East on February 18, 2009. The theme
Ms. Delgado with the PSITE-NCR participants
Continued from page 1
“Vision without action is nothing
more than an illusion, so we must move
(towards that development).” But this
vision, he said, can only be achieved if
we respect and value our engineers (of
progress); otherwise, we cannot expect
real development.
In the same occasion, three
outstanding FEU - EAC graduates
addressed the graduating batch and
the guests. Jayson Jimenez, ECE
graduate and recipient of Outstanding
Student Leader Award, welcomed the
audience while Rolando Araw, Jr.,
ECE Cum Laude graduate, delivered
the Words of Appreciation. Andrew
Caragan, CE graduate, delivered a
testimony of how FEU - EAC changed
his life – from a failure to an achiever.
He inspired the audience to believe in
second chances and in the possibility
of positive change.

of the MSW was “English Proficiency for
I.T. Educators.”
She discussed several topics
related to the enhancement of English
communication skills.
The event was attended by more
than 50 faculty members from different
colleges and universities teaching IT
courses.
These recent activities that mirrored
our school practices show that FEU East Asia College is indeed a College of
Choice!

participants from the parish joined and
took the opportunity to improve their
oral communication skills through the
training.
Activities
in
pronunciation,
pitch, stress, accent and voice were
provided for them to review how
they can properly execute, read,
pronounce, and deliver their talent
and skill in sharing the words of God
through reading orally the gospel of
God in church. They were also able
to use the state-of-the art language
laboratory for practice, assessment
and evaluation of the modules given
to them.
On the last day of the training, an
oral diagnostic test and a culminating
activity were provided for them to
demonstrate the skill that they have

Graduation Awardees
TOSP Awarding Ceremony
aking the lead of the previous batches before them, the recent
graduates of FEU - East Asia College honored the school once
more with their achievements.
Topping the list of this string of
achievements was the school’s
landing at the top of May 2009’s
Civil
Engineering
Board
Examination. Tying with three
other students from three different
schools with a rating of 96.5%,
Engr. Sean Bryner S. Rey bested
thousands of Civil Engineering
board exam takers in the
Philippines. Since 2007, the Civil
Engineering department has been
consistently
producing
topnotchers. Adding feather to the
cap was the growing number of
board exam passers among the
different
engineering
specializations (see complete list of
exam passers below).
Another was the awarding of
Ten Outstanding Students of the
Philippines NCR Level to John
Paul H. Sibug, a BS in Computer
Science Batch 2009 graduate who
was also a recipient of the highly
coveted Nicanor Reyes Award in
the recent graduation rites.
These are the thoughts Dr. Lemuel Rodolfo B.
th
Braña, the guest speaker for the 24 Commencement
Exercises of FEU – East Asia College, shared with the
graduates on May 16, 2009.
The recent graduation was also
record breaking in the number of
graduates produced and the
number of awardees from this
batch.
In his brief speech, Dr. Braña was able to inspire
the audience, the 178 graduates and their parents and
guests, to be persistent and at the same time flexible if
they want to achieve their dreams. He also reminded
everyone to learn how to look back in gratitude to
those who paved the way for them to succeed in life,
especially to their parents.
The College, being relatively
young at 17 years after its
founding, is surely planting its
seeds well; thus, reaping a good
harvest.

The College Research Council
(CRC) of FEU – East Asia
College headed by Engr.
Edwin C. Obra, together with
the Academic Directors and
Research
Representatives,
held its Research Council
Assembly with a series of
seminars on November 27-28,
2008 at the Hotel Dominique in
Tagaytay and on May 7-8 at
Days Hotel, also in Tagaytay.
The
Research
Council
Assembly aimed not only to
formulate plans and programs
of the CRC but also to promote
camaraderie
among
the
participants and a sense of
belongingness to the so-called
“CRC family.”
During the first of the
seminar series, Dr. Jonathan L.
Salvacion,
Dean
of
the
Graduate Studies and Director
for Research Promotion and
Coordination of the Mapua
Institute of Technology, opened
the assembly with his speech
on promoting a culture of
research. He urged the group
to actively engage in various
kinds of research.
The workshop was divided
into five sessions. The first
session concentrated on goalsetting that would contribute to
the realization of the new vision
of CRC. The second session
allowed the participants to
provide insights for a new
mission that would synergize
with the modified vision of the
college.
After a series of
2 ▪ iTamaraw
discussion, a new mission for
the CRC was charted.
With
these new vision and mission
for the Center, a new set of key
initiatives
was
developed
through evaluation of Key
Result Areas (KRA) and Key
Performance Indicators (KPI).
Finally, using the SWOT
analysis,
the
participants
generated
possible
priority
strategic options for the Center.
The second session of the
seminar
focused
on
a
brainstorming task for the new
programs and project ideas that
support
the
strategies
developed in the previous
sessions. The last session was
culminated by a discussion on
various means of controlling,
monitoring, and evaluating the
proposed projects and plans.
Dr. May Rose Imperial,
Senior Director for Academic
Affairs, closed the afternoon
session as she urged the
participants to work hand in
hand for the realizations of
CRC's goals. She reminded the
body that it is still a long way to
go as she acknowledged the
group's accomplishments.
Engr. Obra stressed that
with the new set of objectives
and plans, CRC is now ready to
traverse to the attainment of its
new vision and mission for it
has set its sense of direction –
to go where it wants to go and
to be known how it wants to be
known.
CRC in Taiwan: (Left) with Chung Yuan Christian University’s Prof. Shih-Hsu
Huang (Department of Electronic Engineering) and Prof. Yu-Kuen Lai (Department
of Electrical Engineering) and (Right) with Prof. Danny Wen-Yaw Chung (Director
of Electronics and Information Technology Center)
In the objective of providing a
holistic and diverse experience
and training in research to the
FEU - EAC community, the
College Research Center (CRC)
of FEU – East Asia College
included in its activities the
forging
of
linkages
with
universities
outside
the
Philippines.
On April 15 -18, 2009, Dr.
May Rose C. Imperial, Senior
Director for Academic Affairs,
and Engr. Edwin C. Obra, CRC
Director, visited Taiwan to
establish research linkage with
Chung
Yuan
Christian
University (CYCU). Included in
the visit was the identification of
possible research areas of
collaboration with CYCU and
the specific programs for
collaborative research projects.
The linkage will greatly provide
benefits to FEU - EAC since it
offers Associates a chance to
mingle with foreign researchers,
be trained in the use of other
research equipment, make use
of the facilities of CYCU in their
research projects, and be
exposed to the current research
trends of universities outside the
Philippines.
In the short visit, the FEU EAC representatives were able
to meet with Prof. Shih-Hsu
Huang (Chairman, Department
of Electronic Engineering) and
Prof. Yu-Kuen Lai (Department
of Electrical Engineering) for the
establishment
of
research
collaboration for the FEU - EAC
EEE Department, and with Prof.
Jia-Sheng Heh (Chairman,
Department of Information and
Computer Engineering) and
Prof.
Yuan-Hsiang
Chang
(Department of Information and
Computer Engineering) for the
FEU - EAC ITE Department.
The representatives also met
with Prof. Danny Wen-Yaw
Chung, Director of Electronics
and Information Technology
Center. As agreed, Engr.
Ronald Pascual of the FEU EAC
EEE
Department,
together
with
another
Associate
from
the
ITE
Department, will be sent for
training and exposure at CYCU
for two-weeks.
For the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), the
representatives met with Prof.
Jyh-tong Teng (Dean, Office of
International Affairs). Included
in the proposed MOU are:
1. Joint research activities
2. Exchange of academic
materials and academic
publications
3. Exchange
of
faculty
members for research,
lectures, and discussions
4. Encouragement
of
exchange graduate and
undergraduate
students
for research, learning, and
internship.
CRC hopes that more of
these activities will be put into
realization with the help of FEU
- EAC Administration.
Starting this issue, the iTamaraw will be printing
the essays submitted by the Associates for the

Planning
Evelyn Ruth B. M. Manuel
“Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
The above statement from the
Art of War by Sun Tzu emphasizes
the need to be prepared. To be
prepared, there must be a plan,
because without it, there is no
sense of direction or clarity of
purpose.
As such, what is planning?
Planning deals with the overall
direction of the work to be done. It
includes forecasting future trends,
assessing actual and potential
resources, developing objectives
and targets for future performance,
determining
the
goals
an
organization will pursue, the
products and services it will provide,
and others.
Lately, technology has become a
very important factor in planning.
Changes in technology are leading
many institutions to reconsider
fundamentally
the
way
they
operate. Advances in information
technology can affect practically all
the aspects of business.
Also,
technology is responsible for the
mushrooming of different tools for
systems, technology adoption life
cycle, discovery-driven planning, and
milestone planning.
FEU – East Asia College, being a
technology school, contributes much
to the improvement of the process of
planning. This is done by constantly
producing quality graduates who can
analyze,
design,
and
develop
information systems to be used in the
planning
process
of
clientorganizations. With these information
systems as tools,
organizations can understand better
the forces that affect them so that they
can better plan for the future. And a
better plan produces better results.
Hence, we, at FEU-East Asia
College, play a role in the continuing
realization of the above scenario. Let
us, individually and collectively, work
out plans on how we can most
effectively attain our goals. We can
start off by being committed to the
Mission and Vision of the College, as
this will ensure that our efforts will
contribute to the betterment of our
nation!

Summer Outing ‘09
Mary Grace A. Untal
After a school year that was, the FEU –
EAC Administration headed by the
Human Resource Department treated
the Associates to a day of relaxation
and fun at the Loreland Farm Resort on
April 28, 2009.
Located in Antipolo City, Loreland
Farm Resort is relatively an extension
of Metropolitan Manila that it took only
less than an hour before the hired
buses reached the place. It was a sight
to behold, with its many pools and
refreshing
environment.
The
Associates enjoyed the farm-like
ambience overlooking the metro and
the expanse of the summer skies on
the horizon.

gamely paraded their
stuff
and strutted their winning forms to
the cheer and glee of the viewing
Associates. The winners were
awarded cash prizes.
