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.

Control is one of the central principles underlying any feat of engineering. By harnessing and controlling the laws of nature, engineers not only shape the world to their will, they ensure that the products of their imagination behave predictably and for the greater good. That beautiful idea certainly motivated Micah Angelo Bacani, an alumnus of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute, University of the Philippines Diliman.

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.
