UNEP Top Brass Attends Worklife Seminar

With the University of Northeastern Philippines’ (UNEP) insatiable desire to continuously aim for better and quality education, also comes the package of building a well mannered relationship amongst its staff and members of the faculty.

This was the essence of the just concluded Quality of Worklife Seminar held at the Caritas Christi Prayer and Renewal Center on November 9 and 10 and was conducted by Mr. Rodolfo C. Menguita, Training Director of D.M. Consunji.

The two-day activity was headed by no less than the University President, Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Moraleda, together with the Vice President for Finance, Mrs. Deli Alfelor-Tibi; Vice President for Academic Affairs Mrs. Eleonor Osea and various UNEP Department heads who all came up with a positive realization that understanding oneself could lead to a better perception of one’s work and appreciation of one’s worth. 

Atty. Moraleda believes that a harmonious working relationship, especially among the university’s personnel will have an encouraging atmosphere to anyone who values camaraderie, loyalty and solidarity.  

 “Positive thought will generate positive results.  Any optimistic idea will also be translated into a successful endeavor.  I guess that’s the best way to explain how important it is that you also understand others the way you want yourself to be also understood.”

Ms Tibi, known for her religiosity and piousness affirms that indeed deepening your relationship with our Creator could fill in the vacuum of any unfulfilled longing—whether for your own personal relationship with other people, or your own personal communication with God.

“We work to earn a living but you should not miss the main purpose of why we are here.  All of us, at some point in our lives have to realize that there are things higher than ourselves and we have to realize that HE wants us to live and co-exist harmoniously.”

Other attendees were the University’s Pinnacle Team which includes Ms. Violeta Lomibao, Dean of Education; Mr. Ricardo Gamurot, Jr, Dean of Liberal Arts & Sciences and GenEd; Mrs. Purissa Tan, Dean of CBED; Mrs. Wilma S. Ramos, OIC Dean for Nursing & Midwifery; Arch. Jose M Malazarte, Dean of Engineering; Mr. Ruel Malte, OIC Dean of Criminology; Ma. Chuchay Bailon, Program Head HRM and Mrs. Maria Dela Vega, High School Principal.

Gonzales, Alumni Director; Mrs. Amihan Marifreda Peyra, Property Officer;  Mrs. Virginia Aguila, Campus Ministry Coordinator; Dr. Nilo Romeroso, PACUCOA Chairperson; and Engr. Alberto C.
