- UPSE Main Building is Now Known as Encarnación Hall
Dean Emmanuel S. de Dios (2nd from left) and Mrs. Patricia Encarnación (3rd from left), wife of the late Dean Encarnación, unveil the building sign and bust to mark the renaming of the main building of the UPSE as the José Encarnación, Jr. Hall. Looking on are UP Diliman Chancellor Sergio Cao (far left), and other members of Dean Encarnación's immediate family.
On 17 November 2008, the UP School of Economics Main Building became officially known as the José Encarnación, Jr. Hall to honor the memory of UPSE's former dean. Professor Encarnación, University Professor and National Scientist, served as dean of the School from 1974 until his retirement in 1994. The renaming of the building coincided with the 80th birth anniversary of the late dean.
To mark the occasion, new building signs, a marker, and a bust created by National Artist Napoleon Abueva were unveiled before colleagues, family, and friends. Dean Encarnacion's immediate family, wife Patricia and children Paul, Mark, John, and Riza -- all based in the US -- travelled especially to grace the occasion. Friends, colleagues, and former students reminisced and shared stories about the late dean during the program and reception. An exhibit of Encarnacion's scholarly work, mementos, and photos was opened.
Earlier in the day a wreath-laying ceremony was held by family, faculty, and staff, at Dean Encarnación's grave at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

- UP Economists Support Reproductive Health Bill
The following is the position paper of faculty members of the UP School of Economics regarding House Bill No. 5043 also known as the Reproductive Health Bill.
The population issue has long been dead and buried in developed and most developing countries, including historically Catholic countries. That it continues to be debated heatedly in our country merely testifies to the lack of progress in policy and action. Caught between a hard Church and a soft State are the overwhelming majority of Filipinos who affirm the importance of helping women and couples control the size of their families and the need for government to give budgetary support for modern FP methods.
Renewed impetus to the debate has been given by the public and political interest in the pending bill (HB No. 5043) on “Reproductive Health, Responsible Parenthood and Population Development” (RH Bill, for short). Unfortunately, serious discussion has been hampered by the lack of reliable information and the proclivity of some parties in the debate to use epithets that label the bill as “pro-abortion”, “anti-life”, and “immoral”.
There are a few aspects of the bill to which some groups have expressed strong objections, which we can understand.
But the main thrust of the bill – “enabl(ing) couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children and to have the information and means to carry out their decisions” – is something we strongly and unequivocally support.
In what follows, we explain why.
