Faces behind UMEDFI
In line with UMEDFI's relaunching, the foundation proudly introduces its Board of Directors and the College of Continuing and Advanced Professional Studies (CCAPS) program directors through a promotional photoshoot.
From the left, UMEDFI’s board of directors consist of esteemed leaders from various fields of education and business which includes Vice President Mr. John Tiong, Auditor Ms. Elaine Go, Treasurer Dr. Milagros Torres, President Dr. Dalisay Brawner, and board members, Dr. Joseph Lim, Dr. Oscar Torralba, Dr. Alex Brillantes, Jr., along with Dr. Liza-Perante Calina and Ms. Marie Joucelyn Rodriguez who are not present in the photoshoot.
Afterwards, the board of directors held an integrative session and meeting as they discussed their upcoming plans and activities for UMEDFI’s accreditation. One of the foundation’s activities involves offering support to the special and executive programs run under CCAPS. Hence, UMEDFI also showcases the directors with exceptional background and expertise behind those programs.

From the left, the heads include Assist. Prof. Felizardo Plana, Prof. Nemesio Barboza, Prof. Loreta Catipon, Assoc. Prof. Rhene Tabajen, Assist. Prof. Sonia Pimentel, Prof. Stephanie Dy Tiapco, and Assoc. Prof. Pompeyo Adamos II
Additionally, all of the directors engaged in an interview with each presenting an overview of the programs they manage, including the course profile, description, curriculum, and the number of students who graduated last year and are currently enrolled. Some of them also shared the huge impact of these programs on the graduates’ success.
The photoshoot serves as one of the foundation’s initiatives to unveil the key people behind UMEDFI and build a healthy relationship with potential partners and stakeholders. These visuals will be featured in UMEDFI’s publications and across its social media platforms.
