UST AMV Accountancy Alumni Association, Inc., a nonprofit organization

After nine years that saw the successful transition through the pandemic and various curricular reforms under the leadership of Prof. Cheryl R. Peralta, DrPH, UST's highest policy office for academics, the Office of the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, has a new leader.

The veteran and decorated certified public accountant, Professor Patricia Manalo-Empleo, PhD, took over OVRAA on August 1. In an interview with the Communications Bureau, the new VRAA shares the trajectory for UST's academic programs in the foreseeable future, with quality assurance, sustainability, generative artificial intelligence, and the vertical articulation of graduate programs among the priorities.

We wish VRAA Empleo and her team well as they take on this new mission.

CONGRATULATIONS, President DE RECTO!

The UST-AMV Accountancy Alumni Association, Inc. congratulates our President, John Derick D. De Recto, MBA, MSDT, (U.S.) CMA, (U.S.) CSCA, CPHR, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Batch 2019, on his appointment as Program Director of the Albay Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the first local government-led artificial intelligence institute in the Philippines.

The appointment places a Thomasian accountant at the helm of a genuinely historic undertaking. No local government in the country has built an institution of this kind before, and its creation through a municipal ordinance sets a precedent other LGUs are expected to follow. That a Thomasian accountant helps lead it speaks to what our College has always aimed to form: professionals whose competence extends beyond the profession and into the service of communities.

To our President, congratulations. The Association is proud to see Thomasian values carried into this work.

Mabuhay!



The Albay Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI4AI) is the Philippines' first local government-driven, LGU-led artificial intelligence institute. Officially inaugurated on October 27, 2025, in Polangui, Albay, this pioneering facility bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and community empowerment. Driven by a historic local municipal ordinance and supported by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), AI4AI equips students, entrepreneurs, and local virtual assistants with vital AI literacy, prompt engineering, and ethical tech skills. By integrating AI into local government services, agriculture, and public safety, the institute serves as a transformative blueprint for localized, inclusive technological innovation across the nation.

CONGRATULATIONS, REV. FR. MARC WILL LIM, SDB!

The UST-AMV Accountancy Alumni Association, Inc. joyfully congratulates Rev. Fr Marc Will Lim, SDB, Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, Batch 2005, on his appointment as Parish Priest of Saint John Bosco Parish in Tondo.

Our College forms professionals who are competent, compassionate, and committed. In Fr. Marc Will, those values found a different vocation, lived out in the Salesian charism of St. John Bosco and in service to the young.

To our brother in Christ and fellow Thomasian: may your ministry in Tondo be fruitful, joyful, and abundantly graced. The UST AMV alumni community walks with you in prayer.

Mabuhay ka, Father!
