Amidst China’s ships lurking in Philippine territory, Quiambao documented and delved into the daily lives of Pinoys who showed their resilience on the Pag-Asa island, located in the contested sea zone.

Moreover, he also showed the damages caused by Chinese vessels in the reefs and another maritime resource.

Quiambao, who told stories with his lenses, urged the Filipinos to raise awareness about the perils our fellow citizens face daily in their backyard. “Whether through artistic expression, fact-checking social media content, or simply engaging in discourses, we can all contribute to amplifying the voices of those affected,” Quiambao said.

“Visual storytelling, particularly photography and through cartographic maps, offers powerful insights that help us better understand our maritime situation today,” he added, underscoring the power of photography and maps in stirring emotions and brewing discussions on maritime security that aim to inspire action.

Pag-Asa sa Gitna ng Kalayaan launch was organized by the UST History Society of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, in partnership with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP). The exhibit will run until February 7, 2025.

Developed by Thomasian engineers and researchers, the robots first garnered attention in April 2020 for aiding frontliners with physically distanced communication between a COVID-19 patient and the medical staff.

Equipped with a smart tablet mounted on a mobile base that can be controlled remotely from five to ten meters away, LISA enables communication via internet-based platforms. It also had a compartment box that allowed the delivery of medicines and documents and provided a helping hand in disinfection.

“Itong bagong version ng (LISA) robot, gumagamit kami ng tinatawag na simultaneous localization and mapping, wherein gumagamit kami ng LIDAR sensor para ma-map ng robot ang facility, and then ise-save niya sa memory niya iyon. With that concept, makakapag-navigate ang robot.” Project leader Assoc. Prof. Anthony James C. Bautista, PhD, PME, MBA said in the interview.

In 2021, the LISA robot was developed and enhanced through funding by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD).

Bautista is a researcher in the Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences and a faculty member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The LISA robot team is composed of Engr. Ma. Madecheen Pangaliman, M.Sc. of ECE department, Ms. Alma Perol, MIT of CICS (College of Information and Computing Sciences) with research assistants Mr. Sherwin Dignadice, Kendall Felicilda, Thaynnie Princes Enclonar, John Raven Red, Jose Gamaliel Gutierrez and Thomasian co-inventor, from Pasig Doctors Medical Center, Rodrigo Calalang Santos, MD. Special thanks to Dr. Antonio Etrata and Ms. Izza Arnaez of UST marketing department and Mr. Frederico Mendoza of UST industrial design department.

The ������Ƶapp Singers, the acclaimed mixed choral group representing the ������Ƶapp (UST), recently concluded a triumphant 18-day international concert and competition tour titled “Beyond All Praising” covering Switzerland and Norway held from September 13 to 30, 2024. They have brought home multiple awards from the 10th Grieg International Choir Festival, including the coveted Grand Prix Award.

Their journey began amidst the historic charm and picturesque landscapes of Switzerland, where they captivated audiences in cities like Goldach, Schaffhausen, Winterthur, Stein am Rhein, and Bern. The 32-strong group resonated deeply with both local communities and Filipino expatriates as they shared their artistry and celebrated Filipino excellence. During their visit, the choir had the honor of meeting with His Excellency Bernard Faustino Dy, the Philippine Ambassador to Switzerland, reaffirming their dedication to showcasing the Philippines’ rich cultural heritage through music.

As part of their 37th international tour, they went to the Scandinavian country of Norway, a first for the UST Singers. In Bergen, the “City of Fjords,” they were met with great enthusiasm and support from the Filipino community and His Excellency Enrico T. Fos, the Philippine Ambassador to Norway. The warm welcome further fueled their passion as they prepared to compete in the prestigious 10th Grieg International Choir Festival.

Under the masterful guidance of their founder and conductor, Professor Fidel Gener Calalang Jr., the UST Singers delivered a breathtaking performance that earned them the coveted Grand Prix award on September 29, 2024. Their highly virtuosic rendition of “Sagayan,” a powerful piece from the contemporary Filipino choral work Mangá Pakalagián by Nilo Alcala, captivated the audience and judges alike. This contemporary take from traditional music from the Southern Philippines, with its evocative chants and rituals, resonated within the Grieghallen, a 1,500-seat concert hall named in honor of Edvard Grieg.

The UST Singers’ victory extended beyond the Grand Prix. They also secured First Prize in the Mixed Choir category and Second Prize in the Folk Music category. Their winning repertoire included “Daluyong” by Ily Matthew Maniano, a poignant tribute to the victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda; “Norwegian Alleluia” by Kim Andre Arnesen, a beautiful piece that seamlessly blends Nordic folk traditions with a modern choral setting; and the contemporary sacred piece “Chariots” by Dutch-born South African Composer Péter Louis van Dijk.

Named after the renowned Norwegian classical composer Edvard Grieg, the 10th Grieg International Choir Festival provided a platform for the UST Singers to compete against 30 other choirs from 10 countries all over the world such as Estonia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Denmark, and Norway.

As the sole Asian and Filipino representative at the festival, the UST Singers made history by becoming the first Filipino and Asian choir to claim the Grand Prix award in the competition’s history. This remarkable achievement underscores their unwavering commitment to cultural diplomacy and musical excellence on the world stage.

Founded in 1992, the UST Singers have become a symbol of Filipino musicality worldwide. Their 37 international tours have taken them from Asia to Europe, to Australia and the United States. They are the first and only choir to clinch the highly-coveted Choir of the World Grand Prize-Luciano Pavarotti Trophy twice at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in 1995 and 2010. As Cultural Ambassadors of Goodwill of the Philippines, they have shared the rich cultural heritage of their homeland with audiences worldwide, from Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI to the Royal families of Spain and Thailand, and numerous other world leaders. From historic concert halls and churches to prestigious musical festivals, the UST Singers have graced stages where few Filipino choirs have ventured before.

Following their most recent international triumph, the UST Singers are set to continue their mission to inspire and uplift audiences with a series of performances and concerts around Metro Manila. Their journey serves as a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and connect people through shared cultural experiences.
