 On Saturday, April 27, 2019, Associate Justice Zaldy V. Trespeses, Senior Member of the Seventh Division of the Sandiganbayan comes home to the University of San Agustin as commencement speaker of the Class of 2019 at the campus parade grounds. He holds the distinction of being the youngest appointee for said position in the history of the judiciary.
An Augustinian since High School, he has shown promising talent both in academic and non-academic activities. Hon. Trespeses earned his B. A. Political Science degree from the USA College of Liberal Arts, graduating Cum Laude of the Class of 1993. He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the LA Journal, the student publication of the College. Onwards to law school, Hon. Trespeses exhibited excellence in academics as Second Honors of the Ateneo de Manila School of Law of the Class of 1997. A year later, he was admitted to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. His professional career as a lawyer began as Associate Counsel for the Intellectual Property and Corporate Law departments of a medium-sized law firm. Hon. Trespeses found a foothold in the judiciary when he started working as Court Attorney VI (Law Clerk) of the Supreme Court of the Philippines in 2010. He was appointed to various key positions in the judiciary such as Judiciary Staff Head and Chief Justice Staff Head. He also continued to seek professional development through trainings and conferences either as delegate or speaker. In 2017, he spoke on "Judicial Colloquium on the Sharing of Good Practices Regarding International Human Rights" at the ASEAN International Commission on Human Rights in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He also participated in an anti-corruption conference by the International Center for Parliamentary Studies in London, United Kingdom of Great Britain. Hon. Trespeses is a candidate for Masters in Global Development and Social Justice of St. John's University (Rome Campus) in Italy.  There are lots of women in the world who are suffering. Some have skins that are treated like a blank canvas—colored in paints of purple and blue bruises. Some cry themselves to sleep and some have been suffering for years. What should be done to women in these situations? They must be empowered!  Empower, that is what the University of San Agustin (USA) College of Law Alumni Batch 2018 did for this Women’s Month Celebration. They empowered women.  [Empower] is an information drive to raise awareness on Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children (Anti-VAWC) law conducted by the USA College of Law Alumni Batch 2018. This advocacy is in partnership with the USA College of Law, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Commission on Human Rights (CHR), Public Attorney Office (PAO), Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), Philippine National Police (PNP), USA Tilipunan, USA Law Portia Club, G-Nano, Virginia Foods Corporation and with the untiring support of the USA College of Law Dean, Dean Jose Mari Benjamin Francisco U. Tirol, USA Law professors, students and alumni, to put an end to VAWC which remains to be a prevalent case in the society.  The information-drive activities aimed to promote awareness on the anti-VAWC law, the reporting procedure of VAW cases, and to inform the public of the help and assistance available for the victims and their families.  The Activities A woman is an artwork. This was shown during the art exhibit called Babaye Bulahan Ka! Held at the USA Herrera Hall lobby on March 8 to 16. The exhibit showcased the collection of paintings, sketches, and photographs with the subject to empower women. The colors displayed in the showcase all conveyed the message of strengthening a woman. The same titled photo exhibit and trade fair in was also held in The Shops at Atria on March 12 to 14. Participants were the USA Law Portia Club, Himbon Contemporary Art Group, Hilway Inday Dolls, PAO, CHR, Virginia Food Corporation, Xilium, DSWD Region VI under its Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) and Champion Farmers from Lambunao, Iloilo which showcased their agricultural products. The trade fair aimed to showcase that women play vital role in the economic sector.  A woman can play sports too. On March 10, GIRL POWER: A Football Fest for a Cause was held. Senior high school and college girls battled it out in the football field. With much intensity and focus on the game, the USA College of Commerce Football team championed the game.  A woman helps a fellow woman through information. Paghiliugyon! A Legal Forum on R.A. 9262 was held at Dolse Garcia Conference Room of USA last March 16, 2019. The speakers of the forum, Atty. Elijo Herrera-Bellones of the USA College of Law, Mrs. Haydee Canilla of the DSWD, and SPO3 Ruth Laudato of the PNP gave awareness about the anti-VAWC law and how to go to the process when a person is a victim. A free legal counselling was also offered by the new member lawyers of the IBP.  It went beyond USA. The team traveled to Dingle, Iloilo to share the same information and provide the same legal services with speakers from the PAO and the CHR. Through this activity, awareness was promoted and women who experienced violence were given the encouragement to report what they’ve experienced and to fight for themselves.  A woman is there for other women who experience pain. On March 23, an Outreach Activity at the DSWD Home for Girls was held as the culminating activity. Compassion, joy, love, and service was felt all throughout the event as girls who were victims of abuse received support from the empowering group of USA College of Law. Materials for the activity corner including bookshelves, books, art materials and board games were given. Games were played by the USA Law Batch 2018 “manangs” with their “little sisters” from the Home for Girls. An Art Therapy was also conducted by Marvin Monfort of Himbon Contemporary Artists Group to teach the girls how to express themselves through art.   Led by the organizers, USA College of Law Alumni Batch 2018, the outreach became a heartfelt finale to the advocacy-filled event. It was “fun with a cause”.
The whole month of March for the USA College of Law indeed revolved around women empowerment and was a powerful call to help end violence against women and their children. /PN Source: https://www.panaynews.net/empower-usa-college-of-law-batch-2018-conducts-anti-vawc-information-drive-activities-for-womens-month/?fbclid=IwAR0v6_oKK5xfPwkUi44UXZNCm-zyiSYR8i2TXR-6k1V5fdkc1P_uGwe1Btg THE Fray Luis de Leon Creative Writing Institute, under the University of San Agustin (USA) College of Liberal Arts, Sciences, and Education, is now accepting applications for writing fellowships to the 17th San Agustin Writers Workshop which will be held on May 2 - 4, 2019 at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City.

ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization which ensures that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For business, they are strategic tools that reduce costs by minimizing waste and errors and increasing productivity. They help companies to access new markets, level the playing field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade. ISO creates documents that provide requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose. International Standards make things work, covering almost every industry, from technology, to food safety, to agriculture, health care, and in our case, education. They give world-class specifications for products, services and systems, to ensure quality, safety and efficiency. They are instrumental in facilitating international trade. ISO International Standards impact everyone, everywhere. The University of San Agustin underwent with the ISO 9001:2008 edition of the quality management system and was awarded with the certification last 2017. However, this edition was revised to ISO 9001:2015 effective September 2018. This sudden change in the requirements propelled the university to pursue and transition to the 2015 edition which meant from 8 clauses required by the 2008 edition, the organization now has to work on 10 clauses. All organizations that use ISO 9001 are encouraged to transition to ISO 9001:2015 as soon as possible and this includes not only organizations that are certified to ISO 9001:2008, but also any organizations involved in training or certifying others. Last April 2, 2018, AJA Registrars, Inc. auditor Alan Carandang visited the university to assess the readiness for the transition to ISO 9001: 2015. It was that step that enabled the whole Augustinian Community to commit to the organization of processes, improvement of the efficiency of processes, and continually improve as an organization. After the Stage 1 Audit, the action to transition to 2015 was underway with the internal audits handled by Augustinian personnel who are the members of the Internal Quality Audit Teams. Findings were assessed, evaluated, and action plan implemented. By the time external auditors arrived for the Stage 2 audit, the university was ready. The audit was done by AJA Registrars Inc. auditors: Ella Ajero (Team Leader), Kim Winston Pajares, Ringo Pabua, and Zyra Tungol (Team Members ). Last August 16-17, 2018, some observations and minor non-conformances were found to which the university responded by complying in the implementation of required processes to answer the non-conformances. The AJA Registrars deemed it acceptable and by October 1, 2018, through email, they informed that the University of San Agustin has passed the audit and is now ISO 9001:2015 certified. Then on November 14, 2018, after the university’s Mass of the Holy Spirit the awarding on the Registration certificate was given by AJA representative Ms. Laarni Narido and received by Rev. Fr. Frederick C. Comendador, OSA, University President; Rev Fr. Arnel A. Dizon, OSA,Vice President for Administration and Finance; Rev. Fr. Manuel M.
