JPA Donates Office Equipment as Output of Fund Drive

The Junior Peace Advocates (JPA), the undergraduate students' organization of the Department of Peace Studies donated office equipment to the department in support of the academic activities undertaken by the Faculty and the student leaders. Once again the JPA has demonstrated the value of volunteerism and pro-active response-ability. These equipment will indeed make the lives of students better and help improve the work in the department. Foremost, the staffers of the Peace Oddesy will benefit from these and it will make their work easier. Thanks to the cooperation of everyone involved.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE WITH OUR CURRICULUM IN PEACE STUDIES

What is a Bicolano?

The Bicolano is the term use to describe the Philippine's 5th largest ethno-linguistic group. They speak a language known as Bikol, a Malayo-Polynesian language. They inhabit the Southeastern portion of Luzon spread over five civil provinces namely; Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes, Sorsogon, and Masbate. There are five chartered cities – Naga, Iriga, Legazpi, Ligao, Sorsogon City , Tabaco and Masbate City. The Southeastern Portion of Luzon is also called Bicol Region or simply Bicolandia. The Bicolanos are not so different from other ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines. What distinguishes the Bicolanos are the following: their love for spicy foods, their ardent devotion to Our Lady of Penafrancia [Bicolanos are devout Roman Catholics], and their affinity with Mt. Mayon Volcano, a natural landmark. These three are iconic of the Bicolano people. Bicol, was in ancient times called Tierra de Ibalon a land of rolling hills, valleys, and coasts. The region has no pronounced division of climate. Rain is plentiful and spread over year-round. The valleys are fertile and the climate friendly, but vulnerable to typhoons and tropical storms. Bicolanos are known for their friendliness, religiosity and hard work.
