Statement of the Office of the UP Sectoral Regents on the Co-Terminus with the Incumbent (CTI) Status of PGH positions
We express our grave concern regarding the reclassification of hundreds of plantilla positions at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) into “Co-Terminus with the Incumbent” (CTI) status.
This action, which was acted upon unilaterally by the PGH administration, poses a direct threat to the job security, professional growth, and morale of our essential hospital personnel. Among the most affected are utility workers, ward assistants, nursing aides, and other support staff indispensable to hospital operations. They are those in Salary Grades 1 to 4 who are the most vulnerable among our workforce.

Mensahe ni Hon. Gadong sa Recognition Rights ng UP Manila School of Health Sciences
Maayong hapon sa inyo tanan. Magandang hapon po sa inyong lahat.
Una kong nalaman ang tungkol sa UP Manila School of Health Sciences noong bahagi ako ng Academic Union at bago pa maging Faculty Regent. Sa tuwing pumupunta kami sa UP Tacloban ay sinisikap naming makapunta rin sa SHS Palo para makausap ang ating faculty at staff doon. Noong naging faculty regent na ako ay napuntahan ko rin sa wakas ang Baler, Koronadal, at Tarlac campuses.

Pahayag ng UP Sectoral Regents sa ika-apat na State of the Nation Address in Pangulong Marcos Jr.
Tiyak, larawan ng “pag-unlad” ang muling ipipinta ni Pang. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa kanyang pang-apat State of the Nation Address (SONA). Pero batid natin ang katotohanan: lalong nalulugmok sa matinding krisis sa ekonomiya, edukasyon, kalikasan, at karapatang pantao ang mga mamamayan.
Maaaring ipagmamalaki niya ang diumano’y tagumpay sa negosasyon kay US Pres. Donald Trump: kkapiranggot na isang percentage point na pagbaba ng taripa kapalit ang mas maluwag na pagpasok ng mga produktong US sa bansa. Habang pinalalakas ang dayuhang kontrol sa ating ekonomiya, patuloy naman ang pagdurusa ng mga Pilipino sa pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin at nananatiling di sapat ang kakarampot na dagdag-sahod, lalo pa’t laganap ang job insecurity.
