The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Legal Counsel delegation visited the AUP on March 17, 2026, to discuss ethics, stewardship, and institutional integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The delegation included Karnik Doukmetzian, Of Counsel; Todd McFarland, General Counsel; and Evin Villaruben, Legal Director of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the visit, the legal leaders emphasized the importance of upholding Seventh-day Adventist values in professional practice and institutional governance. McFarland underscored the responsibility of Adventist workers to maintain high ethical standards: \u201cWe really need to uphold these values, morals, and ethics. Our morals should be guided by the Bible.\u201d He further encouraged the University community to exercise faithful stewardship as it navigates contemporary challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

The delegation also visited the ongoing development of the University\u2019s teaching hospital, accompanied by Atty. Gizelle Fugoso and Dr. Arceli Rosario. The visit provided an opportunity to review the project\u2019s progress and affirm its alignment with the University\u2019s mission of service and excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The engagement reinforced AUP\u2019s commitment to ethical leadership and faith-based stewardship as it continues to expand its academic and healthcare initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
