Evia Lifestyle Center is Home to UP’s New Innovation Hub

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Evia Lifestyle Center, the south’s premiere lifestyle shopping and dining mecca, just added a new dimension to its approach to modern mall-going by opening an exciting new hub for inventive breakthroughs and learning – The University of the Philippines @Lab Innovation Hub.

The family of Vista Land Chairman Manny Villar and Senator Cynthia Villar, along with officers from the University of the Philippines (UP) recently launched this new Innovation Zone as the first phase of development for the upcoming UP Alabang Campus in Vista Alabang.

Evia Lifestyle Center currently houses this groundbreaking Innovation Zone and Incubator Hub that will, in the words of former Senate President Villar, assert UP’s role as “the most dynamic University and the leader in education in the country”. The hub, nicknamed UP @Lab (a play on words that simultaneously mean “ablaze <alab>, a futuristic hub <@Lab> and its location <ALABang>) is designed to be the first spark that will initiate the academe and industry partnerships that UP aims to create by putting up a campus in Alabang.

"UP @Lab is a dream brought to life by the Villars for UP’s student-locators because it brings us closer to accessing industry funding that makes our inventions and ideas a reality", said Dr. Luis Sison, Project Leader of Diliman-based DOST-UP Enterprise and Innovation Hub.

Philippines Health Forum: Access to Innovative Medicine, Focus on Cancer

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The entire process that a cancer patient goes through is so stressful for both the patient and their loved ones. The thought of keeping the will to survive amidst the hardship from physical, financial and emotional burdens is a terrible situation to be in. I would find myself always hoping for a miracle if science could not speed up its search for a cure to the most dreaded cancer.

I would like to believe that there have been many efforts done and currently ongoing with the goal to ease the treatment process for cancer patients. I’ve encountered so many campaigns, corporate social responsibility programs and initiatives, both big and small, that all aim to raise awareness, and somehow alleviate the pain experienced by a victim.

There have also been so many initiatives done to make the treatment process more convenient, if not affordable, for so many who have been struggling from the disease from the time of discovery up to the point of hoping for a cure, or at least to prolong their life.

But have most of these noble efforts been repetitious or redundant? Since there is no central point to acknowledge each effort, we see many organizations or groups, whether government, private or non-government organizations or groups, doing the same tasks.

Thus, I believe it is about time we gather these stakeholders to come up with a more focused group where all concerned groups and individuals could contribute to the overall success of an effort that is organized and with focus.
