SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
University Profile
The University of Batangas, then known as Western Philippine Colleges is

the legacy of love and sacrifices of the six noble founders Mr. Juan Y. Javier,
Atty. Jesus Arguelles, Fr. Vicente R. Catapang, Atty. Francisco G. Perez, Mayor
Roman L. Perez, and Atty. Pablo C. Umali. The first classes of 48 students were
held in Trade School that eventually increased every year, gained prominence
as one of the largest higher education institutions in the entire Southern Tagalog
region and became the first university in Batangas offering a wide range of
academic and professional programs to a diverse student body of more than
10,000 as well as the first institution certified to offer the Expanded Tertiary
Education Equivalency and Accredited Program (ETEEAP).
The commitment of the University towards academic excellence, research

and community service has continued through the years to reflect values,
vision and mission of the founding fathers. As such it has been awarded three
year Autonomous status, Deregulated status as of 2009, AJA JAS-ANZ ISO
9001:2008 certified, Level ll and lll PACUCOA accredited programs. Also, the
Commission on Higher Education has awarded the University the title Center
of Excellence in Teacher Education.
The UB students belong to a select academic community whose

personalities are being developed by more than 400 full-time and part-time
faculty. Due to its strategic location in a port city as well as a political, social,
educational and industrial melting pot, there are unlimited opportunities for
professional experience after graduation. In as much as there is diversity of
student groups, there is a wide range of religious, cultural, and socio-economic
backgrounds from the CALABARZON and MIMAROPA regions that provide co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities. Outreach programs are sponsored for
the disadvantaged students like the free secondary high school evening classes
and the student assistance program.
A tradition of excellence is complemented by a strong commitment to

community responsibility and service. The university’s faculty, staff and students
are active participants in community outreach programs and projects working to
meet the needs of the province. Some examples include the regular Community
Health Services, the legal Aid Clinic, Mangrove research and preservation,
and the university’s own “Alalay kita”, project which seeks to assist the poorest
barangays in selected municipalities.

on July 7, 2010 and was formally inaugurated after a year on July 7, 2011. Its

STUDENT
HANDBOOK Introduction

The 3.5 hectare campus is committed to intensely cater to the holistic
needs of students in business, education, technology, engineering, tourism and
hospitality, criminal justice, liberal arts and other areas of learning to assure that
its graduates will serve as competitive individuals in the crest of competitive
globalization.

UBLC also addresses the dream of knowledge-driven individuals who aim
to pursue advanced studies through its prominent Graduate and Law Schools.
These programs seek endow students with courses that will broaden their
competencies in their chosen fields, thus, guaranteeing that every individual
bearing the Brahman name will step up from the status quo by enhancing himself
intellectually and professionally.
Why UB Brahman?
If you look up the definition of the word “Brahman” in the dictionary, it may
mean any of the following:
1. a member of a scholarly, social and cultural elite;

2. a member of the highest of the four Hindu social classes or varnas;
3. any of several breeds of Indian cattle; especially a large American
heat resistant, greyish, humped breed evolved in the Gulf States by
interbreeding Indian cattle and now used chiefly for crossbreeding.
Now, you may ask, what has this got to do with UB?
Take a look at the map of the Province of Batangas.

It is a widely accepted romantic notion that the map looks like a galloping bull
with its horned head at right, where the town of San Juan is located, angled at
3
STUDENT
attack-mode. Its curved, tensed hump is where Talisay, Sto. Tomas and Tanauan
are. Its physical center, said to be the fire of its spirit, is where Taal Volcano is
strategically situated. The front legs, balancing the bull as it lunges forward, is
where the town of Mabini is; while the rear legs, seemingly suspended in mid-
run, are represented by the towns of Lian and Calatagan. Nasugbu represents
the flailing tail of the bull.
Thus, it must be divinely ordained that Batangas would also be known for
its robust livestock industry. Cattle from Batangas are widely sought throughout
the country. In fact, the term Bakang Batangas is actually synonymous to the
best species of cattle in the Philippines. Indeed, the cattle industry in Batangas
is so famous, that every Saturday there is a cattle auction in the Municipalities of
San Juan, Bauan and every Thursday and Friday in the renowned Municipality
of Padre Garcia. Not surprisingly Bulalo and Goto are famed culinary beef
delicacies from Batangas.
Hence, the “UB Brahman”, as coined by former Governor and former

University Chairman, Vicente A. Mayo, represents a person of a distinguished
order from a proud land of heroes, (according to historian Maria Kalaw Katigbak,
a “super-tagalog”) who faces challenges with courage, and forges on undeterred
and unfettered by any force of circumstance in his pursuit of spirit, purpose,
and intellect.
Philosophy
The University of Batangas, a stock non-sectarian, private educational
institution, believes in the pursuit of knowledge, values and skills necessary
for the preservation and improvement of the Philippine society. It has faith in
the dignity of the human person, in the democratic process, in the reward for
individual excellence, and in the freedom of a person to worship God according
to his conscience. Thus, the institution believes that the development of the
individual as a person and a worker is an effective means in building a better
family, community and nation, and a better world.
Mission (Revised 2010)

The University of Batangas provides quality education by promoting
personal and professional growth and enabling the person to participate in a
global, technology - and research driven environment.
Vision (Revised 2008)
We envision the University of Batangas to be the center of excellence

committed to serve the broader community through quality education.

GUIDELINES ON CLEAN AS YOU GO POLICY
What is CLAYGO?
CLAYGO is an acronym for CLEAN AS YOU GO which means cleaning

up your own mess before leaving the area.
What area of the school should I apply CLAYGO?
This applies not just in the cafeteria, but also to ALL corners of our school,
including your classrooms.
How can I practice CLAYGO?
CAFETERIA: The school has provided two trash bins near the LEFT OVER
SECTION. There is one for the non-biodegradable items (e.g., leftovers, tissue
paper). After finishing your food, make sure to segregate your trash and throw
it in the proper trash bin. Do not forget to bring the eating utensils that you
used in the BUZZLING SECTION of the school cafeteria. There are also tissues
available near the cashier so you may want to check your table to make sure
there is no spot left before leaving.
OTHER PLACE IN THE CAMPUS. If you are in the classroom or in other

places inside the campus, and you are having a hard time looking for a trash
bin, make sure to have a brown paper bag where you can temporarily place
your trash until yu find a trash bin or simply, take your trash with you.
What will happen to me when I choose not to comply?
Non-compliance to this policy means infringement of the school regulation.

Remember, there will be CLAYGO watchers around the school campus who
will look after your compliance. Once caught, you will be subject to disciplinary
action. To avoid this, let your classmates and friends know about this policy
and begin practicing CLAYGO now.
GUIDELINES ON SOCIAL MEDIA USAGE FOR STUDENTS
I. A. Policy Statement
The issue of Bullying is particularly important in school settings and the

specific legal responsibilities placed upon schools in relation to tackling bullying
are covered within the guidelines. Although the guidance has been written
primarily with children and young people in mind, the strategies and interventions
may well be of value when tackling similar issues within adult settings. All areas
of family services should develop their own policy and it is anticipated that the
guidelines in this document will provide a basis for this.
70
STUDENT
HANDBOOK Guidelines
B. Definitions
1.) Social Media is defined as media designed to communicate online

through social interaction using highly accessible public publishing forums
such as, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, LinkedIn,
blogs, message boards, Flickr, and other social platforms.
2.) Personal Site is defined as a social media site that is for the sole
purpose of personal use. There are no identifications of the person as a
representative of University of Batangas and content is restricted to personal
and not work-related material. The guidelines in this document are not
intended to regulate personal sites. If you have an account with your name
as the title, it is only classified as a personal site if it is not used for personal
branding (see below)
3.) Public Site is defined as a social media site where a person represents
University of Batangas as employee/faculty/student or a representative of
University of Batangas. This includes personal branding sites in which one
maintains an account that promotes their own person, but as a position
facilitated by their association with University of Batangas. An example of
this might be a student’s blog, unless it is a personal site (see above).
II. General Guiding Principles
A. Institutional Ownership
Any social/new media account considered a public account (see

I-B) representing the interests of University of Batangas is the property
of University of Batangas. Such sites must be registered with the Vice
President for Student and External Affairs (VPSEA). Permission to start a
public account must be obtained from the same office. Examples of these
are pages created for and by the student organizations.
B. Disclosure and Personal Responsibility
Account managers administering sites on behalf of University of

Batangas must post a disclosure on their “profile” or “home page” indicating
their position, if any in the university (i.e student government officer, student
publication staff etc.). If more than one staffer posts on the site, this must
be indicated in the disclosure.

Account managers will not comment on confidential information related

to university matters that may include litigation, personnel matters, including
the hiring of firing of staff members, or other confidential information about
finances. If asked a specific question you feel you cannot answer, tell the
poster so. Do not engage with a poster who desires confidential information.
If in doubt, ask university authorities, represented by the Corporate
Communication Office.
B. Accuracy and Clarity
Don’t link to an external site promoting a product or service that is

not affiliated with University if Batangas without talking to the Corporate

Do not post information about specific students, faculty and employees

unless it is related to an award or honor.

GUIDELINES ON ANTI-BULLYING
I. A. Policy Statement
University of Batangas as a leading institution in providing educational

services believes that bullying is a legitimate and vital concern in the educational
setting. It therefore takes responsibility to adopt these guidelines, bearing in
mind, the welfare of the children and the students.
B. Definitions
1) Victim - We use the term ‘victim’ to indicate a young person who is

subjected to bullying. It is used for the sake of simplicity and is not meant to
imply that such a person remains a victim or that they are in anyway helpless.
2) Bullying - Bullying is repeated aggression, verbal, psychological or

physical conducted by an individual or group against others. Isolated incidents of
aggressive behavior, which should not be condoned, can scarcely be described
as bullying. However, when the behavior is systematic and ongoing it is bullying.
74
STUDENT
HANDBOOK Guidelines
The following student behaviors can be considered a form of bullying, although
bullying may not be limited to such:
1) Physical Aggression-pushing, shoving, punching, kicking, poking, and
tripping people up. It may also take the form of severe physical assault
2) Damage to Property- Personal property can be the focus of attention
for the bully; this may result in damage to clothing, school books and
other learning material or interference with a pupil’s locker or bicycle.
The contents of school bags and pencil cases may be scattered on
the floor. Items of personal property may be defaced, broken, stolen
or hidden.
3) Extortion -Demands for money may be made, often accompanied by
threats (sometimes carried out) in the event of the victim not promptly
“paying up”. Victims’ lunches, or lunch money may be taken. Victims may
also be forced into theft of property for delivery to the bully. Sometimes,
this tactic is used with the sole purpose of incriminating the victim.
4) Intimidation - It is based on the use of very aggressive body language
with the voice being used as a weapon. Particularly upsetting to
victims can be the so-called ‘look’ – a facial expression which conveys
aggression and/or dislike.
5) Abusive Telephone Calls - The abusive anonymous telephone call is
a form of verbal intimidation or bullying.
6) Isolation - A certain person is deliberately isolated, excluded or ignored
by some or all of the class group. This practice is usually initiated by
the person engaged in bullying behavior. It may be accompanied by
writing insulting remarks about the victim on blackboards or in public
places, by passing around notes about or drawings of the victim or by
whispering insults about them loud enough to be heard.
7) Name Calling - Persistent name-calling directed at the same
individual(s), which hurts, insults or humiliates should be regarded
as a form of bullying behavior; most name-calling of this type refers to
physical appearance, e.g. ‘big ears’, size or clothes worn.
8) Slagging - This behavior usually refers to the good-natured banter
which goes on as part of the normal social interchange between people.
However, when this slagging extends to very personal remarks aimed
again and again at the one individual about appearance, clothing,
personal hygiene or involves references of an uncomplimentary nature
to members of one’s family, particularly if couched in sexual innuendo,
then it assumes the form of bullying. It may take the form of suggestive
remarks about a pupil’s sexual orientation.
9) Bullying of School Personnel - Bullying of school personnel by means of
physical assault, damage to property, verbal abuse, threats to people’s
families’ etc.
75
STUDENT
Guidelines HANDBOOK
II. Procedure in Handling Bullying Cases
Both students and teachers have the duty to report cases of bullying through
the following procedures:
1. Report to class adviser/ any teacher for that matter. (For teachers,
proceed to no.2)
2. Teacher will talk to the bully. If this fails, proceed to no.3
3. Teacher will refer case to the Guidance & Counseling Office. Guidance
counselors will initiate the dialogue with the victim and the bully. When
necessary, and subject to the discretion of the Guidance Office, parents
of the victim or the bully may be sent for by the school through oral or
written communication. If this fails, proceed to no. 4
4. Guidance Office will refer the case to VPSEA for appropriate sanctions
against the bully after consideration of the findings and recommendation
report submitted by the Guidance Office.
III. Disciplinary Measures and Sanctions
Failure to follow these guidelines is a violation of the university policies and

subject to discipline and stern warning against the erring student. A repetition of
the offense, depending on the degree of its impact to the university community
may result to suspension of the student from school, or in worse cases,
expulsion.
