The University of the Philippines Los Baños (also referred to as UPLB, UP Los Baños, and Elbi) is a public research university located in the towns of Los Baños and Bay in the province of Laguna, some 64 kilometers southeast of Manila. It traces its roots to the UP College of Agriculture (UPCA), which was founded in 1909 by the American colonial government to promote agricultural education and research in the Philippines. Edwin B. Copeland, an American botanist and Thomasite from the Philippine Normal College in Manila, served as its first dean.[2][10] UPLB was formally established in 1972 following the union of UPCA with four other Los Baños and Diliman-based UP units.[11]

The university has played an influential role in Asian agriculture and biotechnology due to its pioneering efforts in plant breeding and bioengineering, particularly on the development of high-yielding and pest-resistant crops. In recognition of its work, it received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding in 1977.[12] It also hosts a number of local and international research centers, including the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI),[13] ASEAN Center for Biodiversity,[14] World Agroforestry Centre[15] and the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA).[16]

UPLB offers more than 100 degree programs in the natural sciences, engineering, formal sciences, social sciences and liberal arts through its nine colleges and two schools.[17] As of October 2010, the Commission on Higher Education has accredited eight of its units as Centers of Excellence and two as Centers of Development.[18]

While UPLB alumni have been recognized in a wide range of fields, most of them tend to specialize in science, engineering and information technology. These include 13 national scientists,[19][20] members of the UN IPCC (winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize),[21] academicians of the National Academy of Science and Technology,[22] Palanca Award winners,[23][24] as well as political and business leaders.

History

See also: History of UPLB College of Agriculture and History of UPLB College of Forestry and Natural Resources
Classes were first held in tents.[2][10][12]

UPLB was originally established as the UP College of Agriculture on March 6, 1909 by the UP Board of Regents, the highest governing body of the university, with American botanist Edwin Copeland as its first dean.[2] Classes began in June 1909 with 5 professors while 12 students initially enrolled in the program.[12] The Forestry School was established a year later.[19]

During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines beginning in 1941, UPCA was closed after it was converted into an internment camp for allied nationals and headquarters of the Japanese army.[2] For three years, the college was home to more than 2,000 civilians, mostly Americans, that were captured by the Japanese. In 1945, as part of the effort to liberate the country, the US Army sent 130 11th Airborne Division paratroopers to Los Baños to rescue the internees.[25] Only four paratroopers and two Filipino guerillas were killed in the raid. However, Japanese reinforcements arrived two days later, destroying UPCA facilities[2][12] and killing some 1,500 Filipino civilians in Los Baños soon afterwards.[26][27]

UPCA became the first unit of the University of the Philippines to open after the war when it resumed classes on July 25, 1945, with Leopoldo Uichangco as dean. Only 125 (16 percent) of the original students enrolled. It was even worse for the School of Forestry, which only had nine students. Likewise, only 38 professors returned to teach. UPCA used its ₱470,546 (US$10,800)[5] share in the Philippine-US War Damage Funds (released in 1947) for reconstruction.[28]

USAID and MSA grants funded the construction of the UPCA Library (now UPLB College of Arts and Sciences building).[28]

Further financial endowment from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Mutual Security Agency (MSA) allowed the construction of new facilities while scholarship grants, mainly from the Rockefeller Foundation and the International Cooperation Administration-National Economic Council, paved way for the training of UPCA faculty. From 1947 to 1958, a total of 146 faculty members had been granted MS and PhD scholarships in US universities.[28]

The Department of Agricultural Information and Communication building (now College of Development Communication) was built under Umali's Five-Year Development Program.[29]

Dioscoro Umali became UPCA dean in 1959. Umali's administration oversaw the creation of IRRI, SEARCA (of which he was the first director),[30] and the Department of Food Science and Technology. New facilities were also constructed under his Five-Year Development Program.[29]

In 1972, UPCA requested Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to allow the college to secede from the University of the Philippines due to the alleged withholding of its budget and the disapproval of curricular proposals.[30] However, UP President Salvador P. Lopez strongly opposed the idea. A survey also found that there was very little support for complete independence at UPCA. As a compromise, Lopez proposed the transformation of UP into a system of autonomous constituent universities. Finally, on November 20, 1972, PD No. 58 was signed, establishing UPLB as UP's first autonomous campus, with UPCA, College of Forestry, Agricultural Credit and Cooperatives Institute, Dairy Training and Research Institute, and the Diliman-based Agrarian Reform Institute as its first academic units.[2][12][30] New colleges and research centers were created over the next few years, including the College of Arts of Sciences, College of Economics and Management, College of Human Ecology, and the College of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology. The College of Veterinary Medicine was likewise transferred to UPLB from UP Diliman.[2]

In 2010, Chancellor Luis Rey Velasco's administration oversaw the implementation of the large lecture class policy to improve the "absorptive capacity" of the university by more than 500 students and give them better access to some of the more seasoned professors.[8] It increased the traditional class size of 25 to 40 students to a much larger 120 to 175 for general education and foundation courses. The policy has been criticized by various groups in UPLB.[31][32]

Campus

Main article: Campus of University of the Philippines Los Baños
UPLB Campus map (excluding College of Public Affairs, IRRI and off-site land grants)

The UPLB campus consists of 14,665 ha (36,240 acres) spread across the provinces of Laguna, Negros Occidental[33] and Quezon. UPLB's equipment and facilities are worth some ₱10.6 billion (US$244 million)[5] according to official estimates.[3]

Baker Memorial Hall

Los Baños campus

The 1,098 ha (2,710-acre) Los Baños campus houses UPLB's academic facilities, as well as experimental farms for agriculture and biotechnology research.[9]

The more prominent buildings in the Los Baños campus, such as the Dioscoro L. Umali Hall, Main Library and Student Union were designed by National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin.[34] Other notable landmarks include the iconic Oblation, Alumni Plaza, Freedom Park, and Baker Memorial Hall.

Numerous congregations can be found near UPLB. These include the UCCP Church Among the Palms,[35] the Catholic parishes of St. Therese of the Child Jesus[36] and San Antonio de Padua,[37] and Victory Los Baños.[38] Other amenities include banks (including LBP,[39] Plantersbank[40] and PNB)[41] and malls, such as Robinsons Town Mall Los Baños.[42] Security is provided by the University Police Force[43] and the Community Support Brigade[44] in addition to the police force of the local government.

UPLB is designated as caretaker of the 4,347 ha (10,740-acre)[9] Makiling Forest Reserve (often referred to as the "upper campus," in contrast to the "lower campus" set at the foot of Makiling). It houses facilities of the College of Forestry and Natural Resources, College of Public Affairs and the University Health Service, among others. The reserve is home to diverse flora and fauna, and has more tree species than continental United States (an area 32 times bigger than the Philippines).[45] It serves as an outdoor laboratory for students, mainly from the College of Forestry and Natural Resources.[10][46]

Land grants

UPLB has three major land grants: the Laguna-Quezon Land Grant, La Carlota Land Grant and Laguna Land Grant.[9]

The 5,719 ha (14,130-acre) Laguna-Quezon Land Grant is located in the towns of Real, Quezon and Siniloan, Laguna and was acquired in February 1930. It covers some portions of the Sierra Madre mountain range, and currently hosts the university’s Citronella and lemongrass plantations.[47][48] The 705 ha (1,740-acre) La Carlota Land Grant is situated in Negros Occidental, a province in the Western Visayas region. Acquired in May 1964, it houses the PCARRD-DOST La Granja Agricultural Research Center which serves as a research center for various upland crops.[9][33][49] Meanwhile, the 3,336 ha (8,240-acre)[9] Laguna Land Grant, located in Paete, Laguna, (also acquired in 1964) is mostly undeveloped.[50]

Numerous parties have expressed interest in developing the land grants; however, UPLB has not entertained the potential investors due to the "lack of a solid development plan."[50]

Organization and Administration

University of the Philippines Los Baños Chancellors

References [6][30][51][52][53]

The chancellor is responsible for the administration of UPLB. Under him are five vice-chancellors specializing in administration, community affairs, instruction, planning and development, and research and extension.[54] The chancellor is appointed by the UP Board of Regents based on the recommendation of the UP president.[55]

The powers of the chancellor have not always been as extensive. Originally, he was not allowed to approve appointments higher than the rank of instructor, nor enter into contracts worth more than ₱50,000 (US$1,150).[5][30] However, the chancellor's office was eventually given more discretion in light of UPLB's rapid growth during the 1970s and 1980s.

Initially, the chancellor may only serve a fixed five-year term. This changed in 1991 when the Board of Regents cut the term to three years, but with the possibility of reappointment.[52] The current chancellor is Luis Rey I. Velasco, the 7th to hold the office. He was appointed on October 28, 2005.[56]

UPLB, through the UP System, is a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, a consortium of the leading research universities in the Asia-Pacific region.[57]

Funding

According to UP's financial statement for 2009, UPLB has ₱3.3 billion (US$76 million) in cash reserves.[5] It was also alloted ₱1.16 billion (US$26.7 million)[5]—the third largest after Diliman and Manila—from the ₱4.8-billion (US$110-million)[5] national government subsidy for the UP System.[3]

This amount excludes research funding from other sources, which was valued at ₱233 million (US$5.37 million)[5] in 2010. The biggest source was Philippine government agencies at ₱136 million (US$3.13 million),[5] with the PCASTRD-DOST as the largest contributor. This represents a 32 percent decrease from the previous year. Meanwhile, contributions from international and local private agencies increased 101 percent and 71 percent respectively. All in all, outside sources contributed some ₱98 million (US$2.26 million).[5][4]

In preparaton of its centennial year, UPLB launched several Centennial Fund campaigns. The largest of which, the Centennial Building Fund, aims to raise ₱2 billion (US$46.1 million)[5] for the "construction, repair and maintenance of academic buildings and dormitories". Other Centennial Funds include the Centennial Celebration Fund and the Centennial Artists Endowment Fund. As of April 2007, the Centennial funds have collected some US$7,672 and ₱53,700 (US$1,240).[5][58]

The Student Union houses the USC office.[59]

Student government

The University Student Council (USC) is the "highest governing body of all UPLB students." Together with college student councils (CSCs), it assembles as the Student Legislative Chamber and acts as the highest policy making body of the USC. The USC is composed of a chairman, vice-chairman, 10 councillors, a representative for every college/school with less than 500 students, and an additional college representative for every 500 students in excess of the first 500 who are given one year terms. CSCs have a similar structure, but with a different number of councilors based on the student population.[60][61] Its first automated elections were done in 2011.[62]

The Student Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) is responsible for sanctioning erring students. Common offenses include student misconduct and fraternity rumbles. The SDT is composed of a chairperson (who must be a lawyer), two appointees of the chancellor, a student juror, and a parent juror.[60]

UPLB offers 27 undergraduate and 82 graduate degree programs through its nine colleges and two schools.[8][17] Majority of the programs are science degrees.[72][73] It also awards high school diplomas through the University of the Philippines Rural High School (UPRHS), a subunit of the College of Arts and Sciences. It acts as a laboratory for its BS Math and Science Teaching students.[74]

The College of Arts and Sciences has the largest student population and the largest number of undergraduate degree programs (11) while the College of Forestry and Natural Resources has the least number of programs (one).[8]

BS Agricultural Biotechnology, introduced in 2010, is UPLB's newest undergraduate degree program. This was originally proposed by the College of Agriculture.[75] Several degree programs that have been proposed include Chancellor Aspiras's BA History, BA Political Science and BS Landscape Horticulture,[52] and National Scientist Teodulo M. Topacio Jr.'s comparative medicine program.[76]

Admission and graduation

See also: University of the Philippines College Admission Test and Academic grading in the Philippines

UPLB admits more than 2,500 students and produces about 1,800 graduates every year.[8][32] Admission is determined by the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT). UPCAT examinees who garner a University Predicted Grade (UPG) of 2.8 or above are eligible for undergraduate admission-the lowest UPG cut-off among UP's constituent universities. 70 percent of slots are given to incoming freshmen with the highest scores while the remaining 30 percent are given to public high school students and members of minority groups.[77] Before the UPCAT was used for admission, UPCA only admitted the top 5 percent of Philippine high school graduates.[78]

High school freshman admission, on the other hand, is determined by the eight-hour long UPRHS Entrance Examination. Only the top 125 examinees are admitted.[79] Sophomore transferees take the two-day UPRHS Validation Examination, and are admitted depending on the slots available.[80]

UPLB has a substantial no-show rate, with 42 percent of qualifiers opting not to enroll. The figures are worse for BS Forestry and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine programs, with no-show rates of 65 percent and 62 percent, respectively. Other programs with poor enrollment numbers include BS Agriculture, BS Agricultural Engineering and BS Agricultural Chemistry.[81]

Normally, a student who completes the program may graduate with honors if his general weighted average (GWA) is 1.75 or above. The title summa cum laude is awarded to graduates who obtain a GWA of 1.20 or above, magna cum laude to graduates with a GWA of 1.45 to 1.20, and cum laude to graduates with a GWA of between 1.75 and 1.45.[82] As of 2011, there have been 30 summa cum laudes who have graduated from UPLB.[83]

Graduates wear a black cap and gown[84] as opposed to the graduates of other UP constituents who wear the sablay.[85][86]

Tuition and financial aid

The base tuition fee per unit in UPLB is ₱1,000 (US$23).[5] As with all UP constituents, UPLB implements the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program (STFAP). Under the program, students with annual family incomes between ₱1,000,000 (US$23,000)[5] and ₱500,000 (US$11,500)[5] are charged the base tuition fee while those with annual family incomes above ₱1,000,000 are charged ₱1,500 (US$35)[5] per unit. Students with annual family incomes between ₱500,000 and ₱135,000 (US$3,110)[5] are charged ₱600 (US$14)[5] per unit; those who have between ₱135,000 and ₱80,000 (US$1,840)[5] are charged ₱300 (US$7);[5] while those who have below ₱80,000 are not charged any fees.[87] Additional financial assistance may be accessed through the Student Loan Board, which pays for up to 80 percent of the tuition.[81] Other scholarship and loan programs are also offered by some UPLB units, including the College of Forestry and Natural Resources[88] and the College of Veterinary Medicine.[89]

The current rates were introduced in 2007. Previously, base tuition was only ₱300 per unit (since 1989).[87] Library and miscellaneous fees were also increased in 2007 from ₱400 (US$9)[5] per student to ₱1,100 (US$25)[5] and ₱2,000 (US$46),[5] respectively. New fees, such as internet and energy fees were also introduced. The USC sees the over 300 percent increase in tuition as the reason for the low enrollment rate and high student loan levels, which totaled some ₱14 million (US$326,000)[5] in 2007. Additionally, it criticizes the STFAP for allegedly being ineffective. Upon its introduction in 1989, only 16 percent of students received discounts. In 2007, the number fell to only 12 percent.[81]

Accreditation

UPLB is identified by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as a:[18]

In addition, the Institute of Biological Sciences, Institute of Chemistry, and Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics have been recognized since 1983 as National Centers of Excellence in the Basic Sciences via presidential decree.[90]

Libraries and collections

As of 2007, UPLB's 12 libraries, collectively referred to as the University Library, hold a total of 346,061 volumes. It periodically receives publications from United Nations agencies (including the UNFAO, UN-HABITAT and UNU) and the World Bank. It is also a contributor to the International Information System for Agricultural Services and Technology, contributing nearly 30,000 titles between 1975-2010.[92][93]

195,282 of these volumes are housed at the Main Library while the rest are in unit libraries. The Main Library also houses theses, digital sources and 1,215 serial titles, among others.[9] It has a total floor area of 6,336 m2 (68,200 sq ft) and a seating capacity of 510, making it the largest library in UPLB.[93]

One of UPLB's unit libraries is the College of Veterinary Medicine-Animal and Dairy Sciences Cluster Library. It has 17,798 volumes and 198 serial titles, and a total floor area of 609.25 m2. It claims to hold the largest collection on veterinary and animal sciences in the country.[94]

UPLB also manages the Museum of Natural History, which was established in 1976 at the foothills of Mt. Makiling. It holds over 200,000 biological specimens, including half of the samplings from the Philippine Water Bug Inventory Project. More than half of the specimens belong to the entomological collection. While most of its collections are in its main building, some are housed in other UPLB units.[95]

Research

UPLB hosts a number of international research institutes, including the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture,[16] the ASEAN Center for Biodiversity,[14] the International Rice Research Institute,[13] the World Fish Center,[96] the World Agroforestry Center[15] and the Asia Rice Foundation.[97] Local research institutions such as the Philippine Carabao Center[98] as well as bureaus of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Science and Technology also have offices at the university.[99] The main office of IRRI's Philippine counterpart, the Philippine Rice Research Institute, used to be located at UPLB but was transferred to the Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija in 1990. However, it continues to maintain a research office at the university.[100]

Two UPLB-published journals, namely the Philippine Agricultural Scientist and the Philippine Journal of Veterinary Medicine, are listed in the SCImago Journal Rankings. SCImago gave these an h-index (a measure of "actual scientific productivity" and "apparent scientific impact")[101] of 5 and 1, respectively, for 2009.[102] Moreover, these two are also listed in the ISI Web of Knowledge along with three other UPLB-published journals, namely the Philippine Entomologist, Philippine Journal of Crop Science and Asia Life Sciences.[103][104]

Biotechnology research

The National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at UPLB

UPLB operates a 155 ha (380-acre) Science and Technology Park. As of February 2010, the park has hosted four companies engaged in biotechnology. The park serves as a tool for the commercialization and application of UP technologies.[105]

One of the earliest innovations of UPLB is the production of the CAC 87 sugar cane in 1919. This high-yielding variety is resistant to fiji and mosaic viruses, and produces more sucrose. Its derivatives significantly increased sugar cane production in the Philippines.[10] Meanwhile, cattle, poultry and swine breeding programs between 1921 and 1939 produced new breeds, namely the Philamin (a hybrid of the Hereford, Nellore and native cattle), Berkjala (a hybrid of the Berkshire and local Jala-Jala pig, and resistant to hog cholera) and the Los Baños Cantonese chicken, which produced more eggs.[106]

Research in the 1960s have allowed for the efficient mass production of macapuno (a type of coconut with jelly-like meat),[107] while studies started in 1998 that have produced delayed-ripening papaya continue until today.[108] The research is credited for the increase in Philippine papaya production, with the 75,896-metric-ton (83,661-short-ton) production of the year 2000 rising to 164,100 metric tons (180,900 short tons) in 2007.[108]

In 2009, UPLB researchers funded by the Department of Agriculture developed an abacá variety that is resistant to the abacá bunchy top virus. The virus, first detected in 1915 at Silang, Cavite, has since spread to various provinces in the country, and damaged more than 8,000 ha (20,000 acres) of abacá plantations in 2002 alone.[109] The university is working further to make it resistant to mosaic and abacá bract mosaic viruses.[110]

In July 2010, UPLB announced that the Leucinodes orbonalis-resistant Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) eggplant variety that it has been developing with Cornell University and Mahyco was ready for commercialization.[111] On February 17, 2011, Filipino and Indian Greenpeace activists trespassed UPLB's Bay, Laguna research farm and uprooted two Bt eggplants and more than 100 non-genetically modified eggplants. The National Academy of Science and Technology and ranking UPLB officials condemned the incident and have since taken legal action.[112][113]

This 1929 DeSoto De Luxe ran over 50,000 km using gasanol for a period of five years.[106][114]

Biofuel research

Pioneering efforts in biofuel research were also conducted. Studies conducted in the 1930s found that gasoline with 15-20 percent ethanol, dubbed "gasanol", was more efficient than pure gasoline.[106][114] More recent biofuel research in 2007 under the National Biofuel Program have considered new sources of biofuels, such as coconuts, Moringa oleifera and sunflower seeds. However, efforts have been concentrated on the Jatropha curcas due to its low maintenance and fast yield. Other fuels such as coconut biofuel were found to be too costly.[115] Biofuels from Sorghum bicolor and Manihot esculenta crantz are also being studied.[116]

In 2009, PCAMRD-DOST granted ₱4.5 million (US$104,000)[5] to Milagros R. Martinez-Goss of UPLB[5] to fund her research on biofuels from Chlorella vulgaris. Interest was sparked by a 2007 Massey University study showing that microalgae can produce as much as 136,900 liters of oil per hectare compared with only 1,892 liters per hectare (168 gallons per acre) from Jatropha.[117][118][119] PCASTRD-DOST also awarded UPLB ₱10 million (US$230,000)[5] in 2010 for research in biofuels from grass and wood, which are expected to be viable within five to 10 years.[120]

Student life

2,170 of the 11,980 students enrolled in 2008[8] were housed in the eight student dormitories managed by UPLB. Fees for all UPLB dormitories beginning school year 2011–2012 will increase by at least 25 percent[5] from the previous rate of ₱350 (US$8)[5] a month.[5][121] As with the previous dormitory fee increase of 221 percent in 1997,[122] making the dormitories "financially self-supporting" was the one of the reasons cited by the University Housing Office for the revision. The move was widely criticized by various groups. The University Housing Office projects ₱13,818,000 (US$322,000)[5] in revenue for 2010 with a deficit of ₱586,465.59 (US$13,600).[5] according to official estimates.[123] UPLB is currently building two new dormitories with 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of floor area. The new dormitories are expected to accommodate 192 persons annually.[124]

The Oblation Run of Alpha Phi Omega is an annually held event at UPLB.[125]

Student organizations and activities

As of 2008, there are 154 recognized student organizations in UPLB. Of these, 77 are academic, 23 are civic, 12 are regional, and two are religious, while 11 and 15 are fraternities and sororities, respectively.[126] Regional organizations were not recognized by UPLB prior to September 2008 when the University of the Philippines Board of Regents repealed Chapter 72 Article 444 of the 1984 University of the Philippines Code which states that "organizations which are provincial, sectional or regional in nature shall not be allowed in the University System." Likewise, Section 3 of the code states that "the University of the Philippines System is a public, secular, non-profit institution of higher learning." Due to this, religious organizations have had some difficulty in becoming recognized.[127][128][129] Only recognized organizations are allowed to use UPLB facilities.[125]

Every October 10, UPLB celebrates Loyalty Day, which, through the years, has also become UPLB's alumni homecoming. The celebration commemorates events in 1918 when more than half of students and faculty (193 out of 300 students and 27 out of 32 faculty), including two women, enlisted in the Philippine National Guard for service in France during World War I. However, the volunteers never saw action after the Allied Forces signed an armistice with Germany during the same year, essentially ending the war.[10][130][131]

The university holds a major campus fair known as "Feb Fair" during Valentine's week. The fair was initially held to express opposition to martial law under Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos who also abolished student organizations and student councils.[132]

The DZLB transmitter

Media

The UPLB Perspective is the official student publication of UPLB. UPLB Perspective is known for its militancy. Being autonomous from UPLB, university administration interventions in the selection of its editor-in-chief have been heavily criticized.[133] Other publications by UPLB include the UPLB Horizon[56] and UPLB Link.[134]

UPLB runs a radio station with a call sign of DZLB and broadcast frequency of 1116 kHz through its 5-kilowatt transmitter. Founded in August 1964 with a broadcast power of 250 watts at 1210 kHz, the station serves as a training facility for College of Development Communication students. It is also a tool for agricultural distance education. DZLB is the 1993 recipient of the KBP Golden Dove Award for Best AM Radio Station.[135]
