Dr Alfredo Bengzon former VP for Professional Schools Dean of AGSB joins the Lord at age 90

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

We worked with him for over a decade.   His services and leadership will be missed.  Vaya con Dios, Dr Arab.

He led the Faculty Conference for AGSB.  He ate dinner with me one time engaging me in  a deep conversation.  He interviewed me about my current business and made jokes for the plenary regarding me and another who heads a memorial plan company.  Beware if both me and Erniie come together ofering something spectacular.

I remember a lot about him when he made me ahead of everybody else at ER at TMC when I was involved in a bike accident.  He became my attending physician all o f a sudden.  It was of course pro bono   

When my mom was in the ICU and when security shooed us from sleeping  outside the ICU, I complained to him he made sure that we slept albeit on the floor near the ICU.  For him it was not wrong to be malakas esepcially if the malakas is member of the TMC or the AGSB family

I didnt know that he wore the Eagle costume everytime there was UAAP competition

Our sympathies to the family..

Dean Jet Memo to the AGSB community

What is the elephant in the room? getting married and having a divorce? part time lover? - description of faculty at the school

It was funny and that was the best that the participants in the faculty conference could do.  To make fun of a sad situation.

In the light of forthcoming changes, what is going to be status of the present aging work based aging faculty (average age is 56)?  Retirement age is 60, and contract for part time faculty is every 90 days.  There is no gratuity, nor retirement age.  However the other faculty at other schools (law for instance or even ME) get other/better deals.  As the contract is good for 90 days, there is no tenure and we do not know if the title of Professor is used correctly (that is why I prefer facilitator)

What is the elephant in the room?  What is going to happen to the faculty who will not have time to research because they are worked based.?  They could not care less because they have consultancy and business to run.  They need guidance and direction to be proactive;  to act now rather than having contracts not renewed without notice.

What about units getting married?  (Integration)  If it does not work out, will there be divorce?

What is going to be the strength of the Professional School if it does not take care of/want professional (work based professors)
A lawyer professor whispered to me that part time is better because you get around;  being tied to an institution could be boring.  It gives you freedom and power to leave because you can afford to leave.  And during the socials, the joke that go around is because "you are part time"

But wait a minute, many of the lecturer are here and willing to go through the aggravation (in the word of Doctah Bengzon) because they have Ignatian spirit.  They want to give back;  they want to share.

So we all wanted this why complain?
