UST Galing Science Alumni Association

23/07/2026

Last June 27th, we all gathered as one Galing Science alumni community --- some made it, others didn't and some couldn't.

There are things within our control and there are those which are beyond what we can control and fathom.

In uncertain moments, it helps to have something solid to rely on to.

Ganito ang pangako ng PhilPlans — kasama niyo sa paghahanda para sa kinabukasang sigurado: WALANG IWANAN.

Long before mental health became part of the national conversation, Dr. Joel Enrico N. Anastacio dedicated his life to advancing psychology, psychiatry, and behavioral sciences in the Philippines. His journey reflects a steadfast commitment to understanding the human mind and championing those whose struggles often remained unseen.

UST Galing Science Alumni Association (GSAA) joins the Philippine Eagle Foundation and everyone who values our national treasure, the Philippine eagles in grief with this very sad news.

Philippine Eagle Sawaga-Dalwangan has passed away

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Philippine Eagle Sawaga-Dalwangan while undergoing rehabilitation at the Philippine Eagle Center.

After her rescue, she showed real signs of improvement. She became stronger and more alert, ate on her own, and responded well to treatment. These observations were the basis of our earlier recovery updates.

Sadly, she later suffered a sudden medical crisis and could not be revived.

The initial necropsy has been completed, while histopathological examinations remain ongoing. A consolidated report will be released once all test results have been finalized.

We are deeply grateful to the Daraghuyan community, rescuer Marven Linoy and his companions, DENR, the Malaybalay City Government, the Provincial Zoo, the veterinary teams, and all partners who helped rescue and care for her.

We share the grief of everyone who followed her journey and hoped for her recovery. Sawaga-Dalwangan’s rescue was not in vain, and the lessons from her case will help improve the care of other Philippine Eagles.

It is now official.

One of our most loved UST College of Science English professors, a 3rd floor Main Building stunner, and also a former College of Science Journal Adviser for years, has retired.

Thank you very much Ma'am Ward for teaching us the beauty of English Literature beyond what is written and read in books. Thank you for inspiring us to excel and be more of what we already are and to stay grounded despite what we have achieved.

From your GSAA family, we wish you a happy retirement!
