According to Sean Thakur, Diliman's Student Council chairperson, the role of a chancellor is very important as his stand on issues will greatly influence the actions of the university. He will, after all, take on the role for at least 3 years.Malaki ang influence ng chancellor dahil sa kanya magre-reflect kung ano ba ang ideals ng university

At present, Nemenzo serves as the convenor of the Data Science for Public Policy Program of the Center for Integrative Development Studies. He was also elected to the Governing Board of the National Research Council of the Philippines in 2019 and currently chairs its Mathematics Division.He entered UP during the politically repressive Martial Law era and he became involved in student activism during his undergraduate years.

The chancellor nominee said that the diversity can be seen in UP Diliman’s “dynamism and strength” as an academic institution that has produced leaders and key figures in several fields, including politics, industry, and culture, among others.

He was appointed dean in August 2019.

He also served as human resources and development director II of UP Diliman and UP System, and as program development associate of the UP chancellor and UP president. If appointed chancellor, Manegdeg hopes to see UP Diliman “progressively lead” all other state universities and colleges and private institutions to “fully maximize the country’s academic potential, achieving greater excellence and recognition internationally to, in turn, successfully respond to community challenge.”

Manegdeg also vows to address the immediate issues within Diliman, including those raised by faculty, staff, students, and communities inside the campus.

College of Engineering Dean Ferdinand Manegdeg plans to divide UP Diliman into sectors or clusters: Arts Paradise, Technology Haven, Innovation Mecca, Technopreneurship Center. READ:
