Everything I publish, in one place.
I publish the way I was trained to at UP — sourced, dated, and on a fixed editorial calendar. It lives across four pillars: strategy for member-owned institutions, public administration translated, the UP MBA curriculum rewritten for owner-operators, and the craft of teaching and learning.
Start with a pillar.
Mutual Wealth
Cooperatives, NSSLAs, and community enterprises — strategy for wealth that belongs to members and missions.
Governance
Public administration research, translated into plain-language briefs for LGUs and practitioners.
MBA for MSMEs
The UP business curriculum — strategy, finance, operations, marketing — rewritten for owner-operators.
Teaching & Learning
Essays on teaching, studying online, exams, and getting into and through your program — for students and self-learners.
Everything, newest first.
