         Ryan Dulaca, a Computer Science Instructor was appointed as the new UP dorm manager this school year.

            “I was delighted and ecstatic. Nostalgic as well. You see, I was a resident of the dormitory myself from 1997-2001. That’s 3 dormitory managers, from Sir Carnaje to Miss Palma and the late Sir Mike Mende. Too excited for the new challenge and responsibility,” said Ryan Dulaca.

In his stay in the dorm for almost a semester now as the manager, he has already made several projects. Improvements include the doors of the rooms and comfort rooms to the ceiling and exhaust fans, replacement of router, repair of study room which included the repainting of walls and changing of lights.

 Residents’ complaints before included the improper ventilation of their rooms, which was given solution with their new ceiling and exhaust fans. They were also provided with a set of computer placed in their living room for everyone’s use. Dormitory residents were also able to use the medicine kit and nebulizer which they borrow from the clinic every night.

Mr. Dulaca also expressed his plans for the dormitory. “At the top of my head is helping the administration in providing for a safe and clean environment for the residents,” he said. These include renovation of the dormitory which is the priority of the dean.

He also plans to replace the double decks bunk beds and foams because those were still the original beds since the dorm erection. Mr. Dulaca likes to have desktop computers for each of the room. He added that something must be done with the study room because it is adjacent with the two rooms in the male wing.

 “Nindot na jud run ang dorm ky nipaspas na ang wifi” Donald John Roy Buna, dormitory resident said. “Importante man gud sa amo ang internet ky daghan kaayo mi ipang research,” he added.

The dorm manager also organized new activities that involved the residents of the dormitory such as trivia nights held ever first or second week of the month. The winning group receives cash prize.

Aside from all the plans the dorm manager has mentioned, he also wants the residents to build a happy and healthy relationship among themselves. “For them not to just consider the dorm as a place where they just sleep but a place that they can truly call home,” he said.
