Sa nagdaang mga taon, patuloy na nagsikap ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa isports, edukasyon, liderato, at serbisyo, lokal man o internasyonal, kaakibat ang pagpapakumbaba at pananagutan sa sambayanan. Sa 2026, ipagpapatuloy ng UP ang kahusayang nakaugat sa malasakit sa kapuwa.

Tulad sa pagpinta ng kulay ng mga paputok sa madilim na langit, sa pag-iingay ng mga batà gamit ang torotot sa tahimik na gabí, sa kulitan at palitan ng ngiti at pagmamahal sa mga kamag-anak sa kabila ng distansya, at sa sabay-sabay na pagtalon sa pagsalubong ng hatinggabi, nawa’y mas makamit pa ng UP ang kulay at liwanag, ang malalakas na sigaw ng pakikibaka, ang marubdob na pag-ibig para sa nagkakaisang bansa, at ang pagdami pa ng mas mataas na layunin para sa Dangal, Husay, at Serbisyo.

Hangad ng UP ang isang masaya, matiwasay, at ligtas na pagdiriwang ng Bagong Taon para sa lahat.

Heads of essential offices are enjoined to draw up a plan for their staff to work with skeleton forces.

From the University of the Philippines

As we welcome the Christmas season, the University of the Philippines extends its warmest greetings to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners, and the communities we serve.

This year reminded us of the strength we draw from working and caring together—guided by honor, excellence, and service. In moments of challenge and in acts of quiet dedication, the UP community continued to choose integrity, compassion, and hope.

As we take this time to rest and gather with loved ones, may the season renew our sense of purpose and belonging. We look forward to the New Year with gratitude, optimism, and continued commitment to serving the Filipino people.

Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon.

The countries with the most number of submissions are Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia. We have academic libraries, information literacy, LIS education, misinformation, and social media as key phrases commonly used in the submitted papers, but there are newer key phrases such as soft power, social capital, inclusivity, and persons with disabilities, in keeping with the theme and also a reflection of the various concerns of the Asia-Pacific information field.

Muling nagbabalik si GABi, Guide to Access Books and Information, bilang paalala sa tungkulin ng mga silid-aklatan na gabayan ang bawat mambabasa tungo sa kaalaman. Ang kanyang anyo, mula sa upcycled na materyal at hinabing telang Pilipino, ay sumasagisag sa pagiging bukás, inklusibo, at patuloy na nagbabagong papel ng mga silid-aklatan sa panahon ng teknolohiya.

Tulad ng sabi ni Ranganathan, “every reader his or her book” at “every book its reader,” tungkulin nating tiyakin ang malayang akses at demokratikong partisipasyon sa impormasyon.

Ang bayanihang pagbuhat sa parol ay larawan ng pasaning responsibilidad ng bawat isa na sama-samang nagdadala ng liwanag at kaalaman sa komunidad. Paalala ito na kaisa tayo sa paglikha, pag-unawa, at pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon para sa lahat.
