Kaayohan Summit 2025: Centering Wellness, Welfare and Well-being in UP
In order for the University of the Philippines (UP) to serve the people well, it has to ensure the wellness, welfare, and wellbeing of its own community.
This, in essence, was one of the key messages that came out of the Kaayohan Summit on December 1-2, 2025 at the Melchor Hall Theater, College of Engineering, UP Diliman, Quezon City.
Guided by the theme โKaayohan para sa Tanan: Wellness, Welfare, and Well-being in the University,โ the two-day event sought not only to articulate the challenges to well-being experienced by UPโs workforce but also to propose for policies that enable the community to better deliver its indispensable public service to the country.
The summit brought together faculty, REPS, administrative staff, and contractual personnel from across the UP System. At the core of the summit was the Kaayohan framework adopted by the UP Office of the Faculty Regent, which emphasizes that honor, excellence, and service rest fundamentally on the well-being of its people.

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 โCo-Terminus with the Incumbentโ (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.ย

Pahayag ng UP Sectoral Regents sa ika-apat na State of the Nation Address in Pangulong Marcos Jr.ย
Tiyak, larawan ng โpag-unladโ 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 diumanoโy 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 paโt laganap ang job insecurity.

Bunsod ito ng nagkakaisang lakas ng mga guro, estudyante, organisasyon, at mamamayan na naggiit na ang pagbabawas ng GE subjects ay nangangahulugan ng pag-atake sa karapatan ng kabataang estudyante sa dekalidad na edukasyon at sa karapatan ng mga guro sa seguridad sa trabaho. Ang naabot ng kampanyang โReframed GE Curriculum ng CHED, Ibasuraโ ay isang paunang tagumpay, na kagaya ng ating napagtagumpayang pagpigil sa pag-apruba ng UP Core Curriculum sa Board of Regents. Ngunit hindi rito nagtatapos ang laban. Kaakibat ng nakamit na tagumpay ang pangangailangang lalo pang maging mapagmatyag at bantayan ang isyu, laloโt nananatili pa rin ang banta sa sektor ng edukasyon dahil sinuspindi lamang ang pagpapatupad nito hanggang 2028. Samantala, sa darating ng ika 4-5 ng Hunyo 2026 ay gaganapin naman ang systemwide GE Conference sa UP. Hinihimok ng Opisina ng Faculty Regent ang ating sangkaguruan na tiyaking sa pagpupulong na ito ay maisusulong natin ang ating adhikain para sa tunay na makabuluhang pagkatuto ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan. Sa gitna ng lumalalang krisis sa edukasyon at literasi, higit nating kailangan ang mga kursong nagpapakita ng ugnayan ng Agham Panlipunan, STEM, Sining, at Humanidades upang makapaghubog ng mga mag-aaral na kritikal, progresibo, at makabayan. #JunkRGEC #FRUpdates
