A certain Alyanna G. Tienzo has been claiming to be a third year student of the UPD BS MBB program and posts to Facebook and LinkedIn.

This is to warn the public that this person is NOT AFFILIATED with the NIMBB- UPD Please report the said Facebook and LinkedIn accounts as fake.

@wilmerangelo07 5/5 proponents are expected to fully utilize the funds in a timely manner and have output in the form of successfully mentored students and publications. Now if one is not able to fully utilize the funds on time, then perhaps the blame should be on the proponent and not the IRR

[Pia Bagamasbad @Pia_DB_]

@wilmerangelo07 4/5 surplus, making it hard to justify requests for additional funding. But the reality is, we need to increase our budget to accommodate the rising costs of doing science here in the Philippines. Every faculty in NIMBB was given an equal share of the budget. As with any funding

[Pia Bagamasbad @Pia_DB_]

@wilmerangelo07 3/5 These new guidelines, which are now based on merit and timely utilization, are being implemented for the effective and full utilization of funds which has NOT been achieved in recent years. Never fully utilizing our budget might appear that we are always operating at a

@wilmerangelo07 2/5 officials, faculty, and staff of the Institute. FYI, the new guidelines were crafted with CONSULTATION and AGREEMENT of Faculty Members. The deadlines for fund utilization were set months in advance and most of the labs were able to comply with the set deadline.

[Pia Bagamasbad @Pia_DB_]

@wilmerangelo07 1/5 I would not normally respond to these statements especially from OUTSIDERS WHO DO NOT HAVE FULL KNOWLEDGE OF DETAILS that led to the new guidelines on institute fund utilization. But these allegations are UNFAIR and PUTS INTO QUESTION THE INTEGRITY of the admin
