New U.P. Charter signed; Highlights of 2008 Charter
Last April 30, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law the new University of
the Philippines (UP) Charter. The historic event took place at 10:00 am at the Library

Pangilinan, one of the bill’s principal authors. Below are the highlights of the 2008 Charter:
• UP is the National University
• UP is recognized as a University System, thus, acknowledging the role of the
chancellors as administrative leaders, and of the university council as the highest policy
governing body in each constituent university.
• The new UP Charter provides UP some flexibility to enable it to come up with a
competitive compensation package.
• UP will receive an addition of 100 million pesos each year for the next 5 years.
• Academic awards are exempt from taxes.
• Equipment to be used for academic purposes is exempt from the customs duties.
• The Board of Regents (BOR) has been strengthened with the addition of an Administrative
Staff Regent.

ALAMAT: 1st International Conference on Myths and Symbols (1st ICOMS)
Theme: “Flood Stories, Lost Lands, and Drowned Continents”
Date: November 26-28, 2008
Venue: Tambunting Hall, The National Museum, UN Avenue Manila
Organizers: UP Manila Centennial Committee, The National Museum, UPM College of Arts & Sciences,
The ALAMAT Society, Bahay Nakpil-Bautista Museum
Rationale:
• There is a great need to rediscover and disseminate the significance of ancient myths and symbols
in contemporary life for the values and meanings they indirectly encode, express and shape--having
sprung from the unconscious, creative depths of humanity
• There is a need for a forum where studies on myths and symbols with the timely motifs of the great
flood, lost lands, and drowned continents in the Philippines and world mythology are given focus
• There is a need to consolidate, evaluate, and disseminate all the studies and researches so far made
on this theme by scholars, and see how they can be used for myth-making, nation-building, as well as
for the renewal, transformation, healing and empowerment projects / programs of the peoples of
Asia, the Pacific region, and the world.
• There is a need to form community-based museums (ALAMAT Museums) to collect, compile, study, publish,
design teaching modules, and create multi-media productions for myths, legends and symbols
• There is a need to have a local, national and international society of myth and symbol studies in the
service of society, and human welfare & development.

University) – author of “Eden in the East: The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia” and many other books
