Every equation holds a question to explore, every vector has a direction to follow, and every academic journey has someone ready to help you find your way.

To our dear 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬, and 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 students, meet the faculty members who will serve as your Academic Advisers for this academic year! They are here to help you navigate your academic path—from understanding your curriculum and planning your subjects to addressing academic concerns and preparing for the next steps in your journey.

Think of your adviser as your academic coordinate system—someone who can help you determine where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there.

So, don't hesitate to reach out, ask questions, and make that first connection. Because just like in Mathematics and Physics, finding the right direction can make all the difference.

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Engr. Enrico M. Yambao, former Department Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Physics.

His dedication, leadership, kindness, and contributions to the department will always be remembered and cherished. He touched the lives of many through his service and the memories he shared with colleagues and students.

May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may God grant comfort and strength to his family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest in peace, Sir Enrico. Your legacy will forever remain in our hearts. 🕊️

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Assistant Professor Enrico Yambao, former faculty member of the College of Science and served as Department Chair of the Math and Physics Department.

The entire College of Science community mourns this deep loss and extends its heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family.

Marami pong salamat Sir Rico!
