In management, we recognize the value of every role and contribution at all levels of an organization. Whether the work happens in the forefront or behind the scenes, each task helps keep things moving. It is the collective work of everyone across the organization that makes DAME what it is today.

Their work may not always be in the spotlight, but their contributions are felt in so many ways. DAME works because people work together, and our Ates and Kuyas are an important part of that collective effort.

Today, we give the 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐮𝐲𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐄!

From assisting and answering student inquiries to providing administrative support, handling procurement and budgeting, preparing documents, coordinating, and taking care of the many things that need to be done each day, our Ates and Kuyas are always there to help.

Thank you for all that you do for DAME! We appreciate all of you.

The Department joined the 24th MAP International CEO Conference on September 8, 2026, at Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, themed “In the Age of Flux: Scaling the Next Inflection Points.” The conference featured discussions on ASEAN’s changing role in the global economy, emerging technologies, and building organizational resilience and agility, with insights from business leaders and experts including Dr. Kunihiko Hirabayashi, Secretary-General of the ASEAN-Japan Centre; Mr. Stavros Lee, Co-Founder and CEO of Oncade; and Mr. Dallas Dolen, Board Member and TMT Leader, PwC US.

As part of our commitment to continuous faculty development, DAME values opportunities that keep our faculty updated on emerging trends and developments in the business environment, strengthening their competencies in understanding opportunities, assessing risks, and responding to change.

We also had the pleasure of having DAME Adjunct Faculty, former UP President, and Member of UP Board of Regent, Dr. Alfredo E. Pascual, at the conference, where he had a groupie with our faculty members.

We thank the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) for this valuable opportunity for learning and professional development. This initiative is aligned with SDG 4: Quality Education, supporting continuous learning and the professional development of educators.

Fifty years of honor, excellence, and service; truly a remarkable feat that continues to inspire and make the whole UPLB community proud.

We asked our freshies to share their thoughts, first impressions, and experiences about the University and their new home in DAME.

During the DAME Freshie Orientation 2026 last August 17, we took some clips to hear what our freshies had to share! Now, we want to maintain this good first impression by ensuring we do our part for our students.

Welcome to DAME, Freshies! Good luck on your journey!

The Department proudly celebrates the remarkable achievement of our students in the Young Farmers’ Challenge (YFC) Provincial Level for Region IV-A!

With six innovative enterprise ideas led by 10 BS ABME students, our students emerged as provincial winners, demonstrating their entrepreneurial innovations as value-adding solutions for the agricultural sector.

Each winning enterprise received ₱80,000, bringing the cohort’s total winnings to an impressive ₱480,000, which will serve as seed capital for their respective start-ups.

But we’re not done yet! As we await the results from the other provinces and regions, we remain hopeful and excited for our students who are currently competing in other categories.

Congratulations to the Entrepreneurship Cluster led by Asst. Prof. Rei Chino C. Pua and all of the DAME faculty involved. Off to the Regionals! Let's go, Entreps!
