Junior Communication Arts of UST Presents Ang CACAI-bang Kwento Ni Cacai

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The junior students of the Communication Arts Students’ Association from the University of Santo Tomas, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Communication Arts program, proudly present “Ang CACAI-bang Kwento Ni Cacai” written by Christine Bernasol together with co-writers Nikka Talabis, Carla Quizon, Pauline Ramo and Jose Miguel Valera and is directed by CJ Espino, Merryll Palenge, Marielle Valmores, Christine Bernasol and Virgene Credo. The show is produced by the Junior Communication Arts students themselves, to be staged this Wednesday, 15th of April 2015 with shows at 9am, 1pm and 4pm at the Albertus Magnus Auditorium, Education Building, University of Santo Tomas. 

“Ang CACAI-bang Kwento Ni Cacai” is a musical variety show that aims to dispel the existing stereotypes regarding the program Communication Arts and the students taking it. The show’s main character, Cassandra Kaye “CACAI” Magsanoc, is being supported by her aunt, together with her cousins. Her aunt disapproves of the college major she has chosen because she considers it as useless and impractical. Adding to the unfortunate happenings in her life, both her cousins also make her life miserable. The story will revolve around Cacai’s struggle in proving that Communication Arts offers more than what others think. Cacai will prove that the Communication Arts major offers a wide array of opportunities that will bring its graduates to greater heights."

This event is open to all, especially to alumni and students of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, as well as media students from different colleges and universities. Admission is free.

Global Experts Praise Rich Philippine Biodiversity, Call for Protection

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

International scientists at the 24th Philippine Biodiversity Symposium in UEP, Catarman discuss what makes the Philippines “the Galapagos times twenty” and why it could all disappear in the face of climate change and human threat.

Many see the Galapagos as a mecca of nature, a group of islands teeming with endemic wildlife made famous by Darwin’s theory of evolution. But contrary to this belief, the Philippines has a far richer landscape and a more diverse seascape.

It is with this reason that international and local scientists and conservationists are gathering in the University of Eastern Philippines (UEP) in Catarman, Northern Samar for the 24th Philippine Biodiversity Symposium on April 14 to 17. An annual conference organized by the Biodiversity Conservation Society of the Philippines (BCSP), the symposium this year focuses on the theme “Island Biodiversity Conservation: Successes, Challenges and Future Direction”. 

These experts and researchers will discuss the state of flora and fauna in the country, celebrating its abundance while also examining its vulnerability due to extreme weather events and climate change and human-induced threats such as rapid development resulting to habitat loss and illegal trade.
