Phil Gresham and Marieke Smit Visits USC

Phil Gresham and Marieke Smit are MSc. students from the Department of Human Geography, Faculty of Management at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Gresham is American with a background in anthropology and Smit is Dutch with a background in social work. Dr. Leny Ocasiones, faculty of the Department of Anthropology, Sociology and History, has been requested to be the research facilitator of the two graduate students.

Phil and Marieke are doing research on social and economic changes in the households of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and overseas contract workers (OCWs) within Metro Cebu. Data to be gathered will contribute to a further understanding of the effects of migration on household gender roles. The same data will be applied by the development organization Oxfam Novib in the Netherlands (part of the family of Oxfam institutions) which will result in two international conferences on gender and remittances, multiple formal reports, and policy recommendation briefs, aimed toward engaging the Filipino diaspora abroad.

In order to produce the necessary data Gresham and Smit have conducted in-depth, exploratory interviews with approximately 40 men and women who are immediate family members to OFWs and OCWs. Two USC graduates, Jeff Lim and Karen Dereche, assist in data gathering. Respondents have been found using snowball and respondent-driven sampling techniques and also through a radio guest appearance on DYAB. Using an extensive literature review and these new data, they are able to draw conclusions as to what changes have taken place in the household and how some prior conclusions have been overgeneralized, the result of which has sometimes been a gendered approach to development aid policy.

Phil and Marieke will end their Philippine research engagement and be going back to the Netherlands on 7 July.

Jesus Alcordo Gets Honorary Degree of Doctor of Technology on Energy Management

Engineer Jesus Alcordo, erstwhile Chair of the USC Board of Trustees, will be conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Technology on Energy Management by the University of San Carlos at the College of Architecture and Fine Arts Theatre, on Saturday, 12 March, at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Engr. Alcordo will be the 55th awardee to be conferred with an Honorary Degree by the University. The list includes former Presidents of the Philippines, a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, senators, cardinals, bishops, missionaries, educators, economists and businessmen. A consistent achiever yet a humble servant, Engr. Alcordo epitomizes the Carolinian ideals of integrity, excellence, commitment, leadership and service to community.

Jess, as he is fondly called by friends, hails from Naga, Cebu. He was a working student at USC where he earned his degree in Chemical Engineering in 1961. His parents, who were both educators, taught Jess the importance of service, dedication and industry. As a working student, he was elected President of the then Student Catholic Action (SCA). Later on he married Yolanda, a fellow Carolinian, with whom he has three children, namely, John, Margarita and Jerome. In 1975 he completed the Executive Program in Business Administration at Columbia University, New York.

Concurrently, Engr. Alcordo is the President of Global Power Corporation, Cebu Energy Development Corporation, Panay Energy Development Corporation; Director of Toledo Power Company and Chemical Industries of the Philippines; Trustee and Fellow of the Institute of Corporate Directors; and Member of the Advisory Council, UP Cebu Chapter.

He was immediate Past Chair of the USC Board of Trustees for eight years. He also held different positions in the power industry both in government and private companies, such as Commissioner of the Energy Regulatory Commission, Special Advisor at the Department of Energy, and President of National Power Corporation. He was Manager, Consultant and Engineer in the Philippines, Asia and Central America. In 2010, he put up the Cebu Energy Development Corp. to help alleviate the power requirements in the islands of Cebu and the Visayas.

Cebu Energy Development Corporation ?envisions itself to be the power generator of choice in Cebu and the Visayas. Guided by its paramount standards of responsible corporate citizenship, energy cost-efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability, Cebu Energy has the ultimate goal of contributing to the economic growth of Cebu and the Visayas region by addressing the need for affordable and reliable base-load power from 2010 onwards.? The Cebu Energy consortium is composed of Global Business Power Corporation, Aboitiz Power Corporation, Vivant Energy Corporation, and Formosa Heavy Industries Corporation (FHIC).

The University of San Carlos grants the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Technology in Energy Management honoris causa upon Engr. Jesus Alcordo in recognition of his professional achievements and exemplary leadership on the USC Board of Trustees from 2001 to 2010.

The Carolinian academic community warmly congratulates you, Dr. Jesus Alcordo.
