In line with the University Quality Policy
which is “to comply with national and international
standards and strive to exceed stakeholders’
expectations” a Stakeholders’ Satisfaction Survey is
conducted annually by the whole JBLFMU system
to gather feedback from tie-up shipping companies
and manning agencies on the performance of our
graduates and from other stakeholders composed of
the faculty and staff, students, and alumni of all units
of the university as well as from the parents on their
evaluation of the performance of the three units in
terms of the many forms of services that it offers.
November 21-26, 2011 was a week fully-packed
with lived experiences for the university’s Research

I
t cannot be denied that
JBLCF-Bacolod has gone
a long way when researches and
presentations are concerned. The
paper presentations of some of
our active faculty in regional and
international conferences are living
proofs to this. The administration
therefore should be credited for
the strong motivation and support
given to those who wanted to have
a feel of what research is all about
and those who have developed the
passion for research and would like
to go farther.
Just recently, selected faculty
members were sent to present their

More recently, the school
sent Dr. Araceli C. Doromal, the
Unit Academic Coordinator, to the
11th Annual SEAAIR Conference
which was held last November
2-4, 2011 at Chang Mai, Thailand.
Researchers from all over the
world joined the conference as
they celebrated with the theme
“University Social Responsibility:
Pathways
to
Excellence.”
According to AteayShewyun,
President of SEAAIR, the main
objective of the conference was
to expand academic and cultural
learning through collaborative
efforts via Institutional Research.
Moreover, the conference aimed
to bring together policy-makers,
academicians,
researchers,
practitioners, and managers in
higher education institutions from
not only the Southeast Asian region
but also from other sister chapters
and regions. At the conference,
our Unit Academic Coordinator,
Dr. Araceli C. Doromal, presented
two (2) of her papers entitled:
“Mangrove throughout the Years:
Its Narrative Developmentand
Social Relevance” and “Importance
and Challenges in Solid Waste
Management”.
JBLCF-Bacolod
continues
to expand its horizons by facing
the challenge of actively building
linkages with other research
institutions and through its efforts
of coming up with researches that
meet international standards. More
papers and more international
presentations are expected to come
for 2012. (Contributing Writer:

Five instructors from both the Maritime and Business
Department were sent to attend a 3-day Research SeminarWorkshop on Enabling an Environment for Multidisciplinary
Collaborative Research held on September 29 to October 1, 2011
at the West Visayas State University, la Paz, Iloilo.The event was
an initiative of the CHED Regional Office VI (CHEDRO VI) in
coordination with the Educational Mentoring Resources, Inc. (EMRI)
and the West Visayas State University. It was participated by the
Deans of Graduate Schools, Thesis and Dissertation Advisers and
Panel Members, Research Directors or Coordinators and Tertiary
Faculty of private and public Colleges, States and Universities in the
whole Region VI. It was ideally an opportunity for each participant to
learn the multidisciplinary collaborative approach in research. Five
(5) participants were sent by JBLCF-Bacolod namely: Violeta A. Neri
from the Business Department, and Mrs. Ruby D. Causing, Mrs.
Juliet S. Trujillo, Miss Cindy P. Pretta, and Engr. Ritchie J. Navarro
from the Maritime Department. From this 3-day seminar-workshop,
the participants were able to appreciate the importance of the
culture of research in the context of the National Higher Education
Research Agenda 2 (NHERA-2). The seminar-workshop was done
in a fast-tracked mode where the participants’ laptops were a great
help during the group activities. John B. Lacson participants,
Research coordinators from Colegio de la Purisima College, Roxas
City, Carlos Hilado Memorial State College of Talisay and one
University from Iloilo were in one group and were tasked to use the
multidisciplinary approach in developing a research proposal on an
agreed-upon topic suggested by no other than our school and it was
entitled “Preparedness of Higher Education Institutions in Region VI
on the K12 Challenges”. Those who were sent to the workshop were
very thankful for the opportunity granted by the school. (Contributing

BUSINESS INSTRUCTORS WITH RC AND CES OFFICER ATTEND A REGIONAL
COURSE ON RESEARCH MANAGEMENT
Mr. Francisco Cezar L. Catague and Mr. Juancho S. Opao, both instructors of
the Business Department attended a Regional Course on Research Management
with focus on Government Protocols together with the Unit Research Coordinator,
Dr. Emeliza T. Estimo and Community Extension Officer, Mr. Joemil G. Galve.
The course was held in La Consolacion College-Main Campus on August
5-6, 2011 with the objective of enhancing the participants’ awareness of some
government protocols governing Research-related undertakings that require
permits and consent of the locality from which research data are to be gathered.
Examples of such governance is the Indigenous People Right Act (RA 8371)
which requires the conduct of Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) if a study
concerns with or is within the territory of a group of indigenous people (IP) and
the RA 9147 also known as the “Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection
Act” which allows any individual or entity to engage in noncommercial, scientific,
or educational undertaking to collect wildlife with a Gratuitous Permit coming
from different government agencies depending on the species under study. Other
objectives of the course were for the participants to be familiar with the different
government requirements necessary in the implementation of varied types of
research ; to identify the types of research that needs government permits; to point
out which government office is responsible in releasing permits to a particular
type of research; to gain tips from experienced research managers on how to
secure documents needed to acquire permits; and to get a chance to confer with
representatives from concerned permit-releasing government agencies. The
course was another new area of information gained by the participants who were
sent by the school. We look forward to attending more trainings and taking up
more courses to enhance our knowledge of Research.

Richard Branson, a British
entrepreneur and publicist, once
quoted in his speech to the Institute
of Directors in London, “In a restless,
creative business with an emphasis
on experiment and development,
ideas are the lifeblood.” Indeed,
ideas shared by the research
experts from the different units
of the university continually give
life to the research-body of John
B. Lacson Colleges Foundation Bacolod. The said ideas are like a
pulsing blood that flows and gives
everyone motivational insights. A
Research Capability Enhancement
Workshop was conducted last
August 31, 2011 at the JBLCFBacolod Library. Seven resource
speakers shared their expertise,
knowledge and brilliant ideas in the

about “Instrumentation” explained
the importance of designing
instruments appropriate to the
objectives of the study and of letting
all research instruments to undergo
test for validity and reliability to
ensure correct input of data. On
the other hand, Dr. Lourdes C.
Arañador, Director for Academics of
JBLFMU, with her comprehensive
diagram of the different statistical
tools and their uses in her

to do their share to keep up with
