UPHSI faculty member tops UPD CHE postgrad cohort

"Anong klaseng bunga ba tayo? Sanay maging masarap na bunga tayo para sa mga batang gutom, sa mga batang may sakit, para sa mga pamilyang walang malinis na tubig at maayos na pagkain."

Excerpts from the valedictory speech of Asst. Prof. Irene R. Betalas during the Araw ng Pagkilala 2026, the academic recognition ceremony of the College of Home Economics, University of the Philippines Diliman last 4 July 2026 held at the UP Film Institute.

Betalas is part of the UP Diliman Class of 2026. She obtained her Master of Home Economics (MHE) degree graduating with the highest GPA among the members of her graduate level cohort. This is her second masters’ degree earned, having earlier received her postgraduate and doctorate degrees in education before venturing into this recent advanced degree.

Dr. Betalas is currently a full-time faculty member of the UP Visayas Division of Professional Education where she teaches home economics classes at the UP High School, and recently joined as panel member to a growing number of special problem projects of Master of Education students at the Division.

Your ProfEd-UPHSI home team is proud to celebrate your achievement as a model of dedicated work, academic excellence, and scholarship with impact. May you firmly plant your roots and bloom!

PANGINBULAHAN! PADAYON! 🌻🌻🌻
