MagTV na Oragon Show Features UNEP Campus Tour

IRIGA CITY ---  The popular local ABS-CBN TV morning show MagTV na Oragon featured in its May 16 edition the University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) campus here, its various college departments, modern laboratories and facilities to give parents and students the opportunity to know the best courses the university offers and its tradition of academic excellence as a prestigious learning institution in the Bikol region.

This genuine desire to inform prospective students of UNEP's high quality of education was boosted when MagTV na Oragon hosts toured the campus.

UNEP, one of Bikol's  leading higher institutions of learning  has consistently produced winners in scholastic competitions and passers in various board examinations.

The show first highlighted UNEP's Human Resource Management (HRM) Department where the TV hosts were warmly welcomed by its program director, Chuchai Bailon.  Bailon, emphasizing the importance of proper education and training stressed that career opportunities in hotel and restaurant management in particular, are remarkably highlighting Filipino potential and expertise in the wide array of management proficiency.

Bailon said " UNEP's philosophy of education, which should be the ultimate basis of any curriculum design or function, has to be relevant and responsive to the rapidly changing world.  This is a realization of one of UNEP's dream of building an institution that will rise above or beyond any difficulty by producing quality and competitive graduates."

With the demands for graduates of HRM courses seen to grow in the coming years, UNEP assured students that it is the perfect training ground for future hotel managers and entrepreneurs.

The next segment that was shown on the No.1 local TV show was UNEP's Nursing Department. First offered as a three-year collegiate course in 1969, the population of UNEP's Nursing students multiplied several times until 1974 when the Bachelor of Science in Nursing course became a five-year collegiate course.

UNEP Nursing Department's  state-of-the-art facilities include a spacious faculty lounge, mini library, audio visual room, mini operating and delivery room, and skills laboratory.

The school has continuously produced new nurses, most of whom have successfully hurdled the Nursing board exams given by the Professional Regulatory Commission.

With the main objective of preparing the students as future professionals in the field of law enforcement, criminal justice and public safety, UNEP has also equipped its Criminology Department with state-of-the-art facilities.

Its Criminology Laboratory is home to the latest camera and accessories, forensic comparison microscope, enlarger for printed pictures and transmitted exam' n' box which is used in black and white photography.
