LOOK: AI Will Not Replace Developers, Says Expert at POSHED Seminar

The seminar titled “From Prompt to Production: Building Real AI Applications for Production,” spearheaded by the Prestigious Organization of Software and Hardware Elite Developers (POSHED), was held today, March 18, 2026, at the AVR of BulSU (Bulacan State University) – Hagonoy Campus.

The event featured guest speaker Mr. Andrew Loyd Bulacan, an alumnus of BulSU–Hagonoy Campus, who discussed various approaches and processes for transforming AI concepts into real-world applications.

During his talk, Mr. Bulacan emphasized that artificial intelligence will not replace developers. Instead, it will empower those capable of bridging AI with real-world problems.

He also shared key insights on developing, implementing, and using AI effectively to get the best results from any prompt.

When asked by a student whether AI should be used as an academic tool, Mr. Bulacan agreed, noting that educational institutions can leverage AI to enhance learning.

He also remarked that sooner or later, society will enter an AI-driven era.

Meanwhile the seminar also welcomed a special group of attendees, 20 senior high school students from different strands of Iba National High School (INHS-SHS).

In an interview, a POSHED officer explained that the invitation extended to the students was part of the organization’s initiative, in collaboration with the BSIT faculty, to expand academic reach and share resources with allied institutions.

Through this initiative, the program primarily aims to mentor BSIT students, enhancing their knowledge and capabilities to better prepare them for future industry demands. | Paul David Avila/Piscatores

ICYMI: BULSUONE at KASAMA, Nagtagisan ng Talino at Paninindigan sa Debate ng BulSU–Hagonoy

Sa ganap na ika-13 ng Marso ay nagbigay tinig at tumindig ang magkabilang kampo na BULSUONE at KASAMA sa pamamagitan ng isang tagisan ng utak sa debate sa Bulacan State University – Hagonoy Campus Activity Center upang patunayan ang kanilang mga sarili sa bawat mag-aaral ng Hagonoy Campus.

Bilang panimula sa debate, nagbigay ng munting mensahe ang butihing Campus Dean, Ma’am Maria Cecilia De Luna na nagbigay payo sa mga kandidato at bawat mag-aaral na maging mainam sa pagboto at manatiling tapat sa sinumpaang tungkulin.

Ang debate ay nagsimula sa pagpapakilala ng mga kandidato sa magkabilang partido na sinimulan ni Josh Clemente na nagmumuka sa sa partidong KASAMA at tumatakbo biglang BSTM Board Member, sinegundahan ni Shekainah Alcayde tumatakbo bilang BIT Board Member, Kim Rubio bilang Education Board Member, Aeron Mordido tumatakbo bilang Bise Gobernador, Aubrey Shanley Santos nangangampanyang Gobernador at ang panghuli sa partidong KASAMA ay ang nangangampanyang senador, Apple Hormigas.

Sa kabilang dako naman ay ang partidong BULSUONE na sinimulan ni Lucylda San Juan tumatakbong HM Board Member sa pagpapakilala at sinundan naman ni Margarette Ann Tayson na tumatakbong BSTM Board Member, Angelica Joyce Cabral na tumatakbong BIT Board Member, Angel Rei Larcena sa pagtakbong BSIT Board Member, Cristina Grace De Jesus nangangampanya bilang Bise Gobernador at si Kurt Enrykx Naguit na nangangampanyang Gobernador.

Ang programa ay sinundan ng Q&A session na kung saan ay sumabak sa tigiisang kwestiyon ang bawat kandidato sa magkabilang partido upang maihayag at mapatunayan ang kani-kanilang mga sarili.

Mayari lamang ang Q&A ay agad itong nasundan ng Hot Seat session sa pagitan ng dalawang tumatakbong gobernador sa magkabilang panig na sina Aubrey Shanley Santos sa partidong KASAMA at si Kurt Enrykx Naguit sa partidong BULSUONE.

Ang Q&A ay nasundan naman ng rebuttal session na kung saan sa bawat katanungang ibabato ay magkakaroon muna ng tatlong minutong pagpupulong ang bawat partido at bibigyang pagkakataon na makasagot sa loob ng isang minuto.

Ito ay sinundan ng fact checking para sa bawat partido kung saan ang bawat kandidato ay mahuhusgahan ang kanilang bawat kasagutan sa mga tanong na ipupukol ng host.

At sa ikahuling bahagi ng tagisang ng utak at paninindigan ay ang lightning round na kung saan ang bawat kandidato ay bibigyan lamang ng 30 segundo sa pagsagot.

Sa kabuuan, naging makabuluhan ang isinagawang debate dahil nabigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga kandidato mula sa BULSUONE at KASAMA na maipakita ang kanilang kakayahan, plataporma, at paninindigan sa harap ng mga mag-aaral. Sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang bahagi ng programa tulad ng Q&A, hot seat, rebuttal, fact checking, at lightning round, mas nakilala ng komunidad ng BulSU–Hagonoy ang mga lider na nais magsilbi sa kanila. Nagsilbi rin itong gabay sa mga botante upang makapili ng mga kandidatong tunay na karapat-dapat na mamuno. | Yzavel Reyes/Piscatores

Plaridel Guild, the official alliance of student publications of Bulacan State University, stands in solidarity with the editorial board members and writers of PRIMUM who courageously stepped down from their positions in defense of the truth and in upholding journalistic principles.
The restrictions imposed on their coverages, including such directives to opt out political issues and the deletion of their page raise concerns about the state of campus press freedom.
Campus publications are established beyond simply conducting documentations, but also to engage with critical issues that affect the student body and the Filipino society at large.
It is clear that these restrictions are a blatant form of censorship that threatens the true essence of campus journalism. Such actions also run contrary to the provisions of Campus Journalism Act of 1991, which was enacted to protect the freedom and independence of student publications and to safeguard student journalists from administration intervention and any form of suppressions.
The Guild calls on the administration of University of Mindanao to respect the autonomy of PRIMUM and abide by the provisions of the Act. Universities, in the first place, should be a space where its stakeholders freely engage and voice concerns about societal issues.
As truthtellers, we, the Plaridel Guild, reaffirm our commitment in supporting our fellow student journalists who pursue truth and integrity.
Para sa malayang pamamahayag!

Ang babae, kapag sinubukan mong ikulong sa inaasahang kahinhinan at limitahan ang kaniyang mga hakbang, lalo lamang natututong kumawala at lampasan ang hanggahang itinakda sa kaniya.

Marahil dito nagsisimula ang maraming kuwento ng kababaihan, hindi sa katahimikan kundi sa paglaban, hindi sa pagsunod kundi sa pag-angkin ng sariling landas.

Ngayong Araw ng Kababaihan, ipinagdiriwang natin ang talino, tapang, at kakayahan ng mga babaeng patuloy na hinuhubog ang mundo.

Sa bawat pahina ng kasaysayan ay may bakas ng kanilang kamay.

Sa bawat pagbabago ay may tinig na matagal nang sinubukang patahimikin ngunit kailanman ay hindi tuluyang napigil.

Ang babae ay manlilikha ng pangarap.

Ang babae ay bantayog ng katatagan.

Ang babae ay tinig ng pag-asa na patuloy na umaalingawngaw sa gitna ng pagdududa.

Sa pagdiriwang na ito, walang babaeng naiiwan.

Iba-iba ang mukha ng kababaihan.

Iba-iba ang kuwento, pakikibaka, at pag-iral. Kasama sa pagdiriwang ang bawat babae, sapagkat ang pagiging babae ay hindi hinihingi ng pahintulot ng mundo.

Ito ay isang pag-iral na may dangal, lakas, at sariling liwanag.

Sa bawat babaeng patuloy na tumitindig kahit pinagdudahan, sa bawat babaeng nangangarap kahit pinipigilan.

Maligayang Araw ng Kababaihan.

Ang mundo ay patuloy na umuusad dahil sa inyong tapang at talino. | Rejz Eyzza Maria Lacas/Piscatores

Among the units required to maintain a skeleton workforce on Mondays are the Registrar’s Office, Accounting Office, Cashier’s Office, Budget Office, Information and Communications Technology Office, Human Resource Management and Development Office, Procurement Office, Asset Management Office, and the University Infirmary or Clinic. Office heads must ensure appropriate personnel complement while observing prescribed energy measures.

All offices are directed to strictly observe the university’s energy efficiency and conservation policy, in accordance with Office Memorandum No. 2026-0302 issued by the Office of the Vice President for Administration and Finance on March 2, 2026.

The directive emphasized that responsible stewardship of resources is a shared responsibility that reflects the university’s commitment to institutional efficiency and to the welfare of the nation.
