On April 7, 2025, Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd Mindanao’s UPCAT 2026- Affirmative Action Program was at the Lower Tamugan National High School. Assistant School Principal Mr. Vicente Gazo welcomed the team on this second Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd Mindanao UPCAT campaign at this school.
The campaign aimed to increase the UP student-learner representation from public high schools and underserved communities. Therefore, selected Grade 11 students and Grade 12 student-athletes from nearby Suawan National High School were also present.
Together with Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd Mindanao, there were some faculty volunteers. From the College of Humanities and Social Sciences were Instructor Alter Hofileรฑa and Asst. Prof. Farah Aimee Virador, who served as UPCAT simulation examiner. Asst. Prof Marbie Entero from the BS Food Technology program provided an inโdepth discussion of the College of Science and Mathematics’ undergraduate degree offerings.
In closing remarks, Mr. Robert Quibete, Principal of Lower Tamugan National High School, expressed his gratitude to Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd Mindanao for conducting the initiative and helping students enter UP. He further emphasized that there was no campaign like this during his time and thus encouraged students to apply for the UPCAT.
Ugnayan ng Pahinungรณd Mindanao acknowledged the contribution of volunteers, composed of faculty members, alumni, and staff from the Office of Student Affairs and BS Anthropology students.
