Honor, Excellence and Service to the Nation: UP in the Past 117 Years

Over the past 117 years, the University of the Philippines has proven itself worthy of the title of the country’s national university. Surviving world wars, colonial occupations, civil rights struggles and cultural upheavals, economic downturns and upsurges, UP has played a role in shaping the nation’s political and social consciousness, and ultimately helping to define the national identity.

UP Towards Sustainability

The University of the Philippines integrates sustainability into all aspects of its mission — academic excellence, public service, and research and innovation — aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals guide our initiatives in promoting health, inclusive education, gender equity, sustainable and people-centered communities, decisive climate action, and partnerships that advance the common good.

What can chicken DNA reveal about ancient Philippine migration?

When one looks at history and culture, the choice to study chickens makes sense. According to the paper, people in the Sulu Archipelago have and continue to show a deep dependence on chickens, and vice versa. This relationship, referred to as “entanglement” can be seen in the archipelago’s various chicken-based dishes, rituals, arts and ceremonies. This pattern is also seen in the closely-related people of Borneo and broader Indonesia.

Can AI save our country’s water?

In the face of worsening floods and failing water systems, researchers from the University of the Philippines Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology are turning to artificial intelligence for answers. By teaching machines to understand our rivers and wetlands, UP scientists hope to help government agencies make smarter, data-driven decisions that protect both people and the planet.
