Also, the University’s Vice Presidents and/or rep-resentative in order of appearance and presentation, Dr. Samuel S. Poliden, Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) and College of Arts and Humanities (CAH) faculty gave updates on the 8th Cycle of the National Budget Circular (NBC) 461, the University faculty promotion system wherein 273 faculty were evaluated and 253 were promoted to higher academic rank and 30 not promoted but retained their academic rank. Moreover, the present 13,000+ student population performed an oral chant at the BSUDSG Hall on October 28, 2022.
BSU-CAH performed a cultural oral chant known as the “Ba’diw” (a high form of poetic expression that only the artists and sages of the Cordilleran community can perform) for a Wedding, Batbat and for death of a loved one. The CAH Faculties together with the Dean Dr. Myrna Sison-Kuiper, chose to perform Ba’diw, which is now a dying tradition of Cordillera. According to Dr. Sison,she aims to revive the culture of ba’diw, and reintroduce it to the public.
Judges Ms. Rosaria M. Pesoyen (President of Benguet Private Schools Association), Ms. Angeline T. Bugtong (President of TechVoc Institutions in Benguet), and Dr. Alfred A. Dizon (Editor and publisher of the Northern Philippine Times) had a difficult time selecting the winner, but in the end, they agreed on the list of winners: Kings College of the Philippines placed first, followed by BSU Main Campus in second place, and BSU Buguias Campus garnered third place. The winning groups received their Certificates and cash prizes and were recognized during the Benguet Teacher’s Day Culminating activity held at the BSU Gym on November 18, 2022.
