MESSAGE
LSPU is very proud to have initiated this kind of convention in the field of research
as this is one of the demands of an industrializing economy like our country, Philippines. As
we all know, conduct of research is one of the mandates of state colleges and universities
not only in the Philippines, or Asia, but in a world of a diverse globalized society. In higher
education system particularly in the Philippines, research is one of the four-fold functions
to provide support to instruction, create new knowledge, and enhance the quality of life of
the people.
Moreover, LSPU is proud to have invited reputable speakers in the field of research
to provide us current/contemporary and substantial research information in relation to
research functions, tools, research environment, and challenges among others. Add-on to
this convention is valuable input on ASEAN 2015. Accordingly, this convention becomes an
avenue to advance the research capability and research culture of university officials,
faculty members and graduate students as well.
As professors and educational professionals, we continually need to conduct research to
keep abreast of the changes and improvements in the field, develop, implement, and
evaluate on-going technologies and projects; hence, we need to be knowledgeable
consumers of educational and other many types of research. Research undeniably gives an
institution the access to work collaboratively with other researchers or allied institutions
and eventually prepares every one of us to be active and engaged participants in a global
community. Research will strengthen collaboration, local and international relationships,
and develop innovative modes to foster participation in a global network.
The future is in the hands of universities as key player in the integral formation of
professionally competent, service and research oriented and productive citizens. Once
again, this is an opportune time to develop our research capabilities, and advance our
research culture as a university and put our best foot forward as prime movers of the
nation’s economic growth.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming over and for joining the 2015 LSPU
International Research Convention.

CONVENTION RATIONALE
One of the most important functions of research is its significance in the community; hence
the conduct of research is not only geared in coming up with relevant findings, but to
disseminate research-based responses to address community problems and become
vigilant in advocating change to ideally improve the lives of its people.
One of the advocacies of Laguna State Polytechnic University, particularly the Graduate
Studies is to provide advanced professional and technological learning through specialized
studies, and research undertakings in various aspects or fields of knowledge in certain
disciplines.
All over the Philippines, research has been the trend in order to design, develop,
implement, and evaluate on-going technologies and projects, and conduct of research
studies among faculty and students in state universities and colleges has been a regular
undertaking.
We can see before our eyes that the revolution in the field of information technology and
the rapidly expanding transnational education made the world a smaller place to live in. At
the same time, the economic and strategic interests of individual countries recently gave
rise to newer and changing norms of relationship among countries. Today’s students will
be the citizens of the 21st Century, heirs to a world that grows smaller and interconnected
every single day.
Hence, LSPU initiated this International Research Convention to bring together graduate
students and experts to catalyze and advance scientific knowledge and promote and
enhance research collaborations across universities. And most of all, this convention
aspires to encourage graduate students and experts to conduct quality researches that may
result to individual or institutional transformation contributory to a better life in the
community.
This research seminar is an avenue to strengthen the research capability of students in the
graduate programs. We have invited graduate faculty and students in the country and
Vietnam for further knowledge in research and relevant inputs on ASEAN integration. We
have the best plenary speakers with us who are expected to provide contemporary and
novel concepts in the conduct of research in the modern world.
Congratulations everyone for prioritizing your attendance in this research convention. God
bless and Mabuhay.

Excellence towards Innovative & Sustainable Research
Ricardo E. Rotoras, D. Eng.
President, Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges
Keynote Address during the 2015 LSPU International Research Convention, June 23, 2015
Thank you for inviting me to this occasion to provide keynote message which hopefully
becomes the guide for a fruitful conference in research. It is not often that higher education
intellectuals are gathered together in a single setting to discuss issues and concerns that
pertain to research sustainability and innovations. This conference is, therefore, an
important one for it essentially addresses two (2) of the major concerns in higher
education research.
Higher Education Research
For many years, research has been a neglected function in higher education until its recent
resurgence in the consciousness of all higher education faculty. The establishment of the
Commission on Higher Education in the Philippines in 1994 must be credited for having
brought us to a state of awareness of the importance of research in higher education; that,
in fact, a) research defines and differentiates higher education faculty from basic education
faculty, and b) research accounts for the fact that academic freedom is enjoyed by higher
education faculty and not by the basic education faculty.
For these reasons, it is critically important that we all have a clear understanding of the
object (ontology) and rationale (epistemology) for research in higher education. What
differentiates higher education research from the research done by say, government
agencies such as the DOH, DOST, DA, BFAR, NSO, DSWD, and others? Clearly these
government agencies need to undertake research to efficiently carry out their respective
mandates which ultimately redound to the improvement of the quality of life of the
Filipinos. Research undertaken by these agencies benefits the Filipino communities in the
socio-political-economic-cultural dimensions.
The term “higher education” is the collective term used to describe the various “disciplines”
that constitute it. Research in higher education, therefore, MUST focus on the advancement
of the various disciplines. If in the process of advancing the disciplines through research,
some benefits are also produced for the socio-economic advancement of communities,
these benefits are secondary to the main reason for doing research in higher education.
Plato, clearly, elucidated this by stating: “knowledge generation for knowledge sake”.
The spread of materialism and utilitarianism globally over the last century had made us
lose sight of this critical difference between what we are doing in the academe and what
other government agencies are doing in research. I wish to emphasize this point strongly
because it has important practical ramifications in various aspects of our lives in the
2015 LSPU International Research Convention
Splash Mountain Resort & Hotel, Lalakay, Los Baños Laguna
June 23-25, 2015
academe. When we accredit PROFESSORS, we always ask: “What are you a Professor Of?”
The answer to this question determines the expertise of discipline of the candidate. Many
times, professorial candidates are unable to demonstrate that they have contributed
anything to their purported disciplines because of the nature of their published research.
Research Sustainability
Having clearly defined the rationale for doing research in higher education, we can now
tackle other important concerns about it in the system – sustainability is one of them. At
the outset, we can now all agree that there is an abundance of research problems in our
disciplines that require our attention. In science, for instance, there are seven (7)
outstanding unsolved problems that each scientist needs to focus on; in other fields of
study, I am certain that a similar situation obtains. Thus, the issue of research sustainability
is not about the dearth of topics for research in the disciplines (although, we wonder why
some research outputs are labeled as repetitive and stereotyped) but it is about funding
and logistical issues. Globally, when funding becomes tight and resources become scarce,
research is often the first casualty.
Research funding suffers once resources become scarce because up and until today, we still
cannot settle the issue of who benefits from research: is research a public good or
essentially a private enterprise? There are many arguments for and against research being
a public good but there has been no universal agreement about the nature of its value even
as we speak. On account of this, academics in more advanced nations are tasked to
generate funding for their own research. In some universities in the United States,
professorial ranks are made contingent on the candidates’ ability to access research grants
from funding agencies. This is the reason why Universities in the Ivy League vie to get the
services of a Nobel Laureate or just to have his name in the roster of their faculty. The
prestige brought about by having a Nobel Laureate in the faculty of a University generates
more external funding for research for the University. My fearless forecast is that we would
be in the same situation in about five (5) to ten (10) years. That is research in Philippine
Universities would be mainly externally-funded by industries and other private funding
agencies.
To make this work in the Philippine setting would mean that Universities must convince
industries that they are capable of doing serious research for them. At the moment, most of
the industrial research by multi-national corporations is conducted off-shore. For instance,
NOKIA ties up its research with the University of Helsinki in Finland; Roll’s Royce has more
than twenty (20) off-shore research universities, and others. Close to home, the Korean
Advanced Institute for Science and Technology (KAIST) does research for several large
Korean industries ranging from electronics to high energy Physics. In the Philippines, we
still need to establish our credibility as Research Universities to the industrial partners but
indeed, we are taking small and cautious steps toward this direction.
2015 LSPU International Research Convention
Splash Mountain Resort & Hotel, Lalakay, Los Baños Laguna
June 23-25, 2015
Next, even assuming that we are able to fund ourselves in research, the presence of
government bureaucracy, research audit rules and regulations, are significant threats to
the sustainability of research in the country. The current Accounting and Auditing Manual
for Research Operations (AAMRO) is way too ancient to be able to respond to the demands
of modern times. We certainly need to sit down and review antiquated policies and rules in
research if we are to be truly competitive in the next decade or so.
Research Discovery and Innovations
We wish to distinguish between the terms “discovery” and “innovation” because they are
quite different and it is essential that we situate research within these terms. To “discover”
is “to learn new things”; to “innovate” is to “make new things out of old learning”. By its
nature, higher education research should aim to add new things to the body of knowledge
in the disciplines, ergo, research should aim to discover. However, improving or modifying
existing knowledge (innovating) also has some value in higher education.
The issue that we wish to expound now is this: How are we going to establish a system that
promotes excellence in research innovations? The answer is simple because it requires a
close and serious introspection of the cadre of faculty researchers that we now have.
When a person applies for an academic position in the University, his/her basic assumption
is that he/she will be a “teacher”, that is, the academic position is by default a “teaching
position”. With this frame of mind, most of the current faculty members in Philippine
universities regard research as an extra work rather than as part of their organic function
in the University. The first hurdle that University administrators have to face is changing
this attitude; how does one convince faculty members that research is indeed an organic
function as important as their teaching function? To do this, Universities need to review the
concept of regular teaching load in light of the equal importance of research load in higher
education.
The second challenge that we all have to face in higher education is how to keep abreast of
recent developments in our field of study. Most of us are so engrossed with our teaching
that we seldom have time to read about current research developments in our disciplines.
Not only are we supposed to be updated with disciplinal research developments, we also
need to be informed about methodological advancements in research. How many of us are
stocked with the traditional Descriptive-Historical-Experimental methods of research?
Current research techniques have evolved a hundred-fold over the last decade alone.
Techniques such as Agent-Based Methods, Data- Mining, Brain-Based Methods, and others
are now routinely done in many advanced universities. Knowing that these things cannot
be done by the individual faculty alone, the University has to purposively set things into
motion. There must be a comprehensive research faculty development program that would
ensure that our academic faculty are kept abreast of recent development.
Finally, as in most other Universities abroad, Graduate Education plays a crucial role in
research innovations. Graduate students must be trained to be independent critical

thinkers and researchers in their lines of specialization. We, therefore, need to ensure that :
a) research faculty advisers must themselves be reputable and published researchers, b)
those teaching in the graduate schools need to be equally reputable in terms of their
publication in indexed journals. In the South, we have started to require all our doctoral
students to publish parts of their doctoral dissertations in indexed journals prior to the
grant of the degree. This can also be initiated elsewhere in the country.
Dr. Rotoras is a well-known personality in Higher Education Institution both Public and Private. He
earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and M.S. in Applied Mathematical Sciences at Mindanao
University of Science and Technology, and Doctor of Engineering with specialization in power
economics from the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. His dissertation, Transmission Pricing of
Active and Reactive Power, Congestion Pricing and Supplemental Cost Allocation Method: A Case of
Philippines, had an External Examiner from the Cambridge University in the person of Prof. Richard
Green, a world renowned expert in power economics. In 2003, he completed Post-Doctoral Studies as a
Research Fellow at the North Carolina State University, USA, under the Fulbright-Hays grant.
He is a frequent consultant of the International Financing Corporation, a subsidiary group of the
World Bank (IFC-World Bank). He is one of the authors of the Electric Utility Distribution Planning
Manual currently used by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) of the Philippines for the
evaluation and regulation of electric cooperatives in the country. Research is the world of our keynote
speaker. His passion to conduct research produced several publications.
Our keynote speaker serves on numerous committees and panels sponsored by government and
professional organizations. In 2010, he chairs a committee that formulates the 10-year National
Higher Education Research Agenda (NHERA) in engineering and technology of the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED). He serves as Vice Chair of the National Academe-Industry Council. His

Research, Extension & ASEAN Integration
Dr. Ruperto S. Sangalang
Commission on Higher Education
Delivered during the 2015 LSPU International Research Convention, June 25, 2015
The ASEAN Community
ASEAN is envisioned as a concert of Southeast Asian Nations, outward looking, living
in peace, stability and prosperity, bonded together in partnership in dynamic development
and in a community of caring societies. The ASEAN community is to be defined by three (3)
pillars of cooperation namely: political and security cooperation, economic cooperation,
and socio- cultural cooperation.
The economic cooperation is to be characterized by a single market and production
base, high economic competitiveness, equitable economic development, and full integration
into the global economy. Consequently, an economically-integrated ASEAN shall have core
features such as free flow of goods, free flow of services, free flow to of investment, free
flow of capital, and free flow of skilled labor.
The Philippines must take the necessary steps to ensure that we will be able to
contribute to the realization of the ASEAN vision, as well as make the most of the benefits
that it will bring. One way we can prepare for the ASEAN Community is by enhancing our
research and extension capabilities.
The National Higher Education Research Agenda (NHERA-2)
NHERA is one of the efforts launched by the government to shore up the country’s
research, as well as extension capabilities. NHERA-2 was developed to accommodate “the
changing conditions of higher education in the country and the state of research in Philippine
colleges and universities.” Its objectives are (1) to improve the capability of HEIs; (2) to
enhance research productivity of HEIs in distinctive areas of competence; (3) to generate
knowledge/technologies for (a) higher education development, (b) policy/plan
formulation, (c) development of innovative programs in cutting-edge higher education
fields, (d) advancing frontiers of knowledge; and (e) promoting and facilitating
dissemination and utilization of research outputs.
Identified relevant CHED programs include the R&D and Extension Grants-in-Aid
program; Research capabilities enhancement programs; Journal accreditation service; and
Research and Extension Awards. Specifically, the RDE Grants-in-Aid Program is a strategic
