Their attendance at the two important events at the same time was a reality of the great efforts of the Dominicans for Justice and Peace led by Rev. Fr. Aneidi Okure, O.P., as Director and Permanent Delegate of the Order of Preachers to the United Nations.  The Dominicans for Justice and Peace is the official Delegation of the Order of Preachers to the United Nations, and it has had an Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Consultative status since 2002.

The training was facilitated by Geneva for Human Rights (GHR), an international training organization.  It trains human rights NGOs, defenders, and those promoting human rights in elaborating and realizing strategies and using domestic, regional, and international human rights procedures.  The Geneva Course is an interactive and intensive training during ordinary UN Human Rights Council sessions.

Along with the three participants and delegates are the other 18 participants from different parts of the world.  The participants learned the knowledge and skills according to the following courses and related subjects included in the training. A General Course (19-23 September 2022)  was offered where an overview of international relations; international human rights, humanitarian and criminal laws; the UN mechanisms and procedures; the Human Rights Council; the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR); and the use of the Special procedures, treaty bodies, and Universal Periodic Review (UPR) were presented.  Trainees learned drafting communications in accordance with special procedures.

Next was a course on the HR Council’s proceedings (26-30 September 2022). This course introduced the main OHCHR, and Special procedures reports were submitted to the 51st session.  Specific Courses on transitional justice, women’s and indigenous peoples’ rights, enforced disappearances, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the protection of human rights defenders.

The last course (3-5 October 2022) was  devoted to the conclusions and follow-up of the Geneva Course, with GHR Course on human rights implementation in the countries (SDGs, national plans, technical assistance, and NGOs’ strategies inside the nations).

The participants of the said training were selected based on the priority given to defenders and NGOs from the regions and as members of national and regional NGOs delegations attending the session of the UN Human Rights Council, and trainees from regional and international human rights organizations having their seat or representation at the UN Office in Geneva.

The three DFJPCC-Philippines participants and delegates were able to accomplish the course.  To highlight, they completed the documents on the country’s human rights pattern and a letter to the special rapporteur.  They also submitted and successfully passed several tests given to all the training participants.  

The side of being Dominican delegates to the 51st Session of the UN Human Rights Council, the three regularly seated and observed different debates and side events on special issues.  The highlight of their participation was their crucial role in the debate on the Philippine human rights situation about the UN Joint Program Report. 

Alipao delivered a one-minute-and-a-half statement of the Dominicans for Justice and Peace during the debate last October 6, 2022, in Geneva. 

 The statement read:    

“We welcome the High Commissioner’s report on the progress and results of the UN Joint Program in the Philippines.  It accurately assesses the persistence of impunity for human rights abuses, including the lack of access to justice by victims of extrajudicial killings and their families.  Despite the implementation of the UN Joint Program and the inauguration of a new Government in 2022, we remain strongly concerned with the shrinking space of civil society and the persisting culture of impunity.  Violence, intimidation, and arrests of 鈥榬ed-tagged鈥� human rights defenders continue.

鈥淭he new administration reinforced the disengagement of the Philippines from the International Criminal Court and announced the continuation of the War on Drugs.  The Government consistently fails to cooperate with the UN Joint Program adequately and to investigate, prosecute and enforce comprehensive mechanisms to address the systematic and mass human rights violations.

鈥淣ow, more than ever, the international community’s support is crucial to tackling the lack of domestic accountability and preventing future human rights violations.  Therefore, we call on the Human Rights Council to keep the situation of the Philippines as a priority, with the adoption of a follow-up resolution establishing a Commission of Inquiry for the Philippines.”

Alipao also attended and presented a three-minute statement during the CCPR (Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) NGO formal briefing on the Philippines, Haiti, Kyrgyzstan, and Japan, which took place on October 10, 2022 via Zoom.

Around 188 people attended, including students from other universities, students from UST undergraduate programs, and some Graduate School faculty members.

The first speaker was UST alumnus and Department of Trade and Industry Assistant Secretary for Industry Development and Trade Policy Atty. Allan B. Gepty. After discussing International Trade: Considerations, Challenges, and Opportunities, he stressed the significance of free trade agreements where he elaborated on the benefits of the agreement, which include eliminating behind-the-border barriers that would otherwise impede the flow of goods or services; encouraging investment; and improving rules governing issues such as intellectual property, e-commerce, and government procurement.

He also brought up the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Evolution of Business Models. Transportation, hospitality, manufacturing, and the rise of artificial intelligence are among the industries mentioned. He also emphasized the role of globalization, which he defined as the integration and democratization of the world’s culture, economy, and infrastructure through transnational investment and the rapid proliferation of communication and information technologies.

The speaker also provided a brief overview of PH International Trade Relations, including the trade deficit, the lack of bilateral FTAs, the optimal use of FTAs, the enhancement of export capabilities, better opportunities for people and businesses, and the identification of a PH niche in the international market. According to the speaker, policymakers play an important role. They are the ones who foresee future trends and develop rules that foster a business-friendly environment. Finally, he enacted game-changing legislation, including the Retail Trade Liberalization Act, the Foreign Investment Act, and the Public Services Act. He concluded the event by reminding everyone that our country is progressing by responding to digitalization and seizing PH opportunities.

Also a speaker during the event was the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman of the Philippine Exporters Confederation of the Philippines Dr. William S. Co.

Co described PHILEXPORT’s achievements in a globalized economy following the passage of R.A. 7844, also known as the Export Development Act (EDA) of 1994. He also shared his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in March 2020. It served as a stark reminder of the structural flaws in national and global economies. He spoke about the country’s semiconductors and manufacturing industries, which have been the main drivers of economic growth in the Philippines, employing three million people directly and indirectly. According to Co, they began to see an increase in exports in September 2021, owing to the reopening of China’s economy, which resulted in a 43.3% increase in shipment to Beijing. He also discussed Project FIRE, or the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which was launched in June 2020. This project had several requirements, including smart cities and industries, the emerging global recession, and e-governance.

Co initiated the promotion of hybrid rice and corn modern fishery and aqua resources, as well as the export of Philippine tropical fruits around the world.  The relaxation of quarantine measures in some countries, the gradual reopening of businesses, and the resumption of production all indicate that the export sector is regaining its footing.

Jacobs and Leynes emphasized in the two-day hybrid conference that cooperation is a solution to many of the world鈥檚 problems, and that people should possess the heartware and software for it.

Leynes discussed the benefits of cooperation, such as having more and better-tested ideas, greater enjoyment, deeper learning, social skills, and lifelong learning.

鈥淲ith cooperation, it is not just one plus one equals two but actually, one plus one equals three:  your ideas, my ideas, and the third, a new set of ideas, our combined ideas,鈥� said Leynes.

During the conference, Jacobs also mentioned that this frame of mind is linked to the Social Interdependence Theory, a long-established theory which seeks to understand and facilitate cooperation.

鈥淲hen group members feel positively interdependent, they feel as though their outcomes are positively correlated: this means that members feel that what helps one member helps all, and what one hurts one, hurts all,鈥� said Jacobs.

The participants in this international interdisciplinary scientific and professional conference titled 鈥淟earning Outside the Box: The Values and Controversies of Learning in a New Age鈥� were introduced to strategies to facilitate student-student cooperation in academic settings. These strategies include the teaching of collaborative skills, techniques for promoting feelings of positive interdependence among students, service learning, cooperative controversy, maximum peer interactions, individual accountability, equal opportunity to participate, heterogeneous grouping, and cooperation as a value.

Translated to the Croatian language and presented with subtitles, the pre-recorded lecture was capped with the question 鈥淐an people cooperate effectively?鈥� to which Jacobs answered 鈥渁bsolutely!鈥� The conference details may be found at .

Jacobs is a Visiting Professorial Lecturer from Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. He also teaches the course Language Theory and Practice at the UST Graduate School, while Leynes is a Ph.D. graduate student in the English Language Studies program and a faculty member from the Department of English, Faculty of Arts and Letters.

Two renowned professors shared their experience and expertise in exploring different teaching models through the lens of their own theoretical perspectives and their attended methodologies and research-based strategies during the virtual event titled 鈥淕lobal Educators as Bridge-builders to Innovative Teaching Practices鈥� on November 16, 2022 via Zoom.

Prof. Gerald Walton Fry, Ph.D., a distinguished international professor at the University of Minnesota, highlighted the importance of holistic education as part of his leadership Theory H during his discussion titled, 鈥淟earning from the Indigenous and Non-western Worlds: A New Theory H of Leadership for Educational Excellence and Human Well-being.鈥�

鈥淚n terms of my new Theory H, it emphasizes humanistic leadership for happiness, harmony and health and we need to humanize technology so that we don鈥檛 become prisoners of technology. In terms of education, it鈥檚 so greatly important that we have holistic education,鈥� said Fry.

            The Pew Fellow also mentioned that the world is on fire and that the people are already living in the VUCA age, so it is a must for teachers to have incredible flexibility and adaptability to prepare their students in facing the demands and challenges of the VUCA world.

            Meanwhile, Prof. Peter Joseph Esperanza, Ph.D., a faculty member of Barstow Community College and West Coast University, talked about how technology can be combined with traditional learning and how it can be used as a resource in enhancing students’ learning experiences in his lecture titled, 鈥�Flipping Your Classroom Across Different Teaching Modalities.鈥�

鈥淥ne of the things that I require my students to do is to submit their handwritten notes because even if innovation is good for the majority of the time, we still need, as instructors, to give them a little bit of traditional learning,鈥� said Esperanza.

The math professor and YouTube content creator also shared that it is very important  to design your courses smartly in teaching in an online environment and to establish the core even if it is very difficult to achieve that in the virtual settings.

During his opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Rodrigo Litao, Ph.D, the UST GS Education Cluster Lead, emphasized the importance for educators and scholars to continue to find platforms and discuss typically global issues and concerns that affect curriculum and instruction.

鈥淭he change in the educational landscape is inevitable and brought about by the countless internal and external forces including the effects of the pandemic, and these have implications on how we deliver curriculum and instruction for our students and other stakeholders,鈥� said Litao.

Assoc. Prof. Lilia de Jesus also mentioned in her speech that teaching models and methodology is an endless discovery and surge of learning and teaching strategy that will capacitate the teachers鈥� maximum potential to make learning happen.

鈥淚n order for us to be the real purveyors of genuine and authentic education, we are reminded to be always fully aware of the world we inhabit and the realities that come with it 鈥� the reality of the changing social, cultural and environmental order and the digital reality that now dominates the global sphere,鈥� shared de Jesus in her closing remarks.

More than 400 educators from different countries including Indonesia and the Philippines registered for the virtual event.
