UPLB Department of Social Sciences

TINGNAN || Sa pagdiriwang ng DSS Testimonial Rites 2026 na may temang BUKAS: Open Minds, Shared Futures, ikinararangal ipakilala ng Department of Social Sciences (DSS) ang ating panauhing tagapagsalita, 𝗗𝗶𝗿. 𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗡. 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀.

Isang alumna ng BA Sociology ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Los Baños, si Dir. Andres ay isang mahusay at dedikadong lingkod-bayan na kasalukuyang CESO V at nagsisilbing Provincial Director ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) sa Quezon Province.

Bukod sa kanyang matatag na karanasan sa propesyon, ipinamalas din ni Dir. Andres ang kanyang patuloy na paghahangad ng kahusayan sa pamamagitan ng pagtatamo ng Diploma in Development Management for Senior Executives mula sa Development Academy of the Philippines at pagkuha ng mga yunit sa Master in Public Management. Kaisa rin siya sa maraming programang pangliderato at pamamahala na lalong nagpalawak ng kanyang kakayahan bilang pinuno at tagapaglingkod ng sambayanan.

Bilang isang sosyolohista at lingkod-bayan, isinasabuhay ni Dir. Andres ang mga pagpapahalagang kaakibat ng temang BUKAS—ang pagiging bukas sa pagkatuto, pakikipag-ugnayan, at pag-unawa sa iba’t ibang realidad ng lipunan. Ang kanyang landas ay nagsisilbing paalala na ang kaalamang natutuhan sa sosyolohiya ay maaaring maging sandigan sa pagtataguyod ng makabuluhang pagbabago at responsableng pamumuno.

Sa kanyang pagbabahagi ng mga karanasan at pananaw, inaasahan nating higit niyang mabibigyang-inspirasyon ang ating mga nagsisipagtapos na magpatuloy sa pagiging mapanuri, makatao, at bukas sa mga posibilidad ng hinaharap.
Muli, malugod nating tinatanggap si 𝗗𝗶𝗿. 𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗡. 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀, bilang panauhing tagapagsalita ng DSS Testimonial Rites 2026.

This initiative seeks to gauge public interest in pursuing a program that provides a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, mental processes, and social relationships, while emphasizing the influence of culture, communities, and social contexts on individual and collective well-being.

The proposed BA Psychology program, to be adopted from the University of the Philippines Tacloban, aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to analyze human behavior, conduct psychological research, and apply psychological principles to address contemporary social concerns. As issues related to mental health, disaster resilience, and social development continue to gain importance, the program seeks to prepare graduates who can contribute to the promotion of well-being in Filipino communities.

Graduates may pursue careers in human resources, community development, research, mental health and psychosocial support, government service, non-government organizations, training and development, and other people-centered professions. The program may also serve as a strong foundation for graduate studies in psychology and related fields.
