OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

M E S S A G E

Greetings from the University of the Philippines to our dear alumni in Toronto,Canada!

I congratulate the alumni for keeping alive the UP spirit in your part of theworld. By celebrating the UP centennial, you bring honor to an institution that hasendured for a hundred years. That it has survived and endured is a tribute to all the

men and women who have been and who continue to be part of it. The faculty, staff,students and university officials, by their hard work and dedication, have managed tokeep UP where it is today, despite the great odds. On the other hand, the alumni, bytheir example and leadership wherever they now are and through their continuingsupport, have helped ease the burden of an institution that continue to faceconstraints. UP continues to be a significant institution in Philippine society today –thanks to all of you. Indeed this partnership between the university constituents andthe alumni has helped make UP a respected and deeply admired institution.

I am sure your October 25 celebration will bring back happy memories of your stay in UP. I know too that there are many stories to tell. I urge you to keep on tellingthose stories – don’t get bored if the stories are told over and over again. These

stories are a sure way of keeping the UP spirit alive.

UP’s first one hundred years represent a period of growth, change,enlightenment, obsession, resistance, and transformation. It has been a great 100years. As we usher in our next century, we express the hope that things will be evenbetter and more exciting. We may no longer be around to see the end of our secondcentury but surely we have left imprints and expressions of our desire to greatness.

Mabuhay ang UP!

MESSAGE

It is with deep pride and honour that we salute our alma mater during this historic

milestone.

Being alumni, we can appreciate the influence UP has had on us and our careers. We

spent an important, if not crucial, part of our formative years in U.P. Our dreams, hopes

and aspirations were, in many ways, shaped and guided by the values bred in us duringthose academic years.

Today, as we look back, we are happy to see our beloved institution staying progressiveand true to the ideals of a premier university. It continues to be the learning capital for

excellence, leadership, freedom of speech and social responsibility. It has weatheredmany storms and has marched on bigger and better. It has become more solidly relevant

to Philippine society and the global community than ever.

As U.P. sons and daughters, let us acknowledge what our beloved university has done for

us. Let us make this centennial anniversary the opportunity to renew our pledge to uphold

UP traditions and remain loyal to its values.

Thank you, U.P., and best wishes for another hundred years of growth and success.

ABOUT US, UP ALUMNI

In the summer of 1977, an organizational meeting, spearheaded by Solomon Exmundo and attended byaround 100 potential members was held in Toronto – thus was launched the University of the Philippines

Alumni Association in Metro Toronto. It elected its first board members who in turn chose an executivecouncil in accordance with its constitution. Almost immediately, the newly organized group plunged into itsfirst cultural project “Halinhinan,” an evening of Philippine dance, music, and fashion at the Ontario ScienceCentre. The next event was the induction ball that also installed the first set of officers at the Inn on the Park,followed by the first Christmas Party, then the first picnic in the summer. The following year, the associationsuccessfully staged another major cultural event, “ Walang Sugat,” at the Ryerson Theatre. With the stellar cast of Filipino artists led by Fides Santos-Cuyugan, this Manila-produced zarzuela was a cultural eye-opener for both Canadian guests and many Filipinos who were not acquainted with this genre.

Thirty years later, the initial burst of energy has not dissipated – it has worked itself into various other endeavors in keeping with the objectives of the association. The spirit of UP – deep nationalism and patriotism, service to country and community, leadership and academic excellence - remains alive in the minds

and hearts of the members, in spite of being away and far from the homeland and Alma Mater. It is this bonding that inspires the members to engage in cultural and civic affairs, and to promote the interests of Filipinos in their community.

UPAA participates actively in social and community issues, from gathering and sending relief clothingto disaster victims in the Philippines, to participating in protests against racism and social injustice. The manysocial gatherings that bring the members together also provide the opportunity for professional and businessnetworking.

Since its inception, UPAA has strengthened its bonds with the University of the Philippines and keepsits members informed and involved on issues of mutual concern. UP Presidents Edgardo Angara, Jose Abueva,Emil Q. Javier and Emerlinda Ramos Roman were guest speakers at several events. UPAA helped raise funds

for the Ang Bahay ng Alumni (Alumni House) in Diliman campus in 1992. In support of our Alma Mater,UPAA established a Scholarship Fund and a Professorial Chair, both of which are permanent endowments.

To recognize excellence among its members, UPAA honors its members and fellow alumni by bestowing them awards and recognition for outstanding achievements in their profession, in communityservice, and other categories. Among such awardees were Solomon and Nilda Exmundo, Dr. Rey Pagtakhan,Dr. Lillian Thompson, Dr. Mario Andres, Dr. Victoria Santiago, the late Dr. Guillermo de Villa, MarleneMogado, and others.

UPAA Toronto, as it is now called, continues to expand. In 2002, UPAA Toronto celebrated its 25th anniversary. Under the leadership of Bayani Bernabe a new and major Endowment Fund was established.Within two years, $25,000 was raised in an intense campaign led by 2002 Outstanding UPAA Members Drs.

Mario Andres and Victoria Santiago.

UPAA partnered with York University in two projects – the discussion-forum on “ The PhilippinePresidency and the Erap Debacle” with Dr. Aprodicio Laquian (cum laude, 1959) as guest speaker, and thesurvey phase of a research project conducted by Dr. Philip Kelly of York U on “ Filipino Transnationalism andthe Labour Market Linkages.”

UPAA collaborated with the Filipino Centre Toronto, headed by its president Rosalinda Cerrudo-Javier, in establishing a Heritage Library to house books on history and culture, and to showcase Filipinowriters. On the social front, UPAA Toronto and four other alumni associations co-founded the Philippine



Colleges and Universities Alumni Associations, which sponsors the annual “Summerfest” picnic/sportsevent, to foster closer ties among alumni of various Philippine colleges and universities. The association isnow composed of 16 alumni associations. This summer UPAA won the much-coveted over-all trophy of theSummerfest 2008, amidst so much laughter, hooting and hilarity.

Membership is boosted by the re-establishment of the e-mail group in 2003, followed by the websitein 2004, and the “Kapihan” and the New Immigrant Program for Newcomers in 2006.

UPAA collected several thousand books on science, technology, and related topics from a generousdonor and undertook the transport, storage, cataloguing and freight to UP Visayas in Iloilo. UP alumni alsoassisted in fundraising for the victims of the Bicol landslide in 2007.

This being the UP Centennial Year, our alumni undertook more activities. Artist Romi MananQuil(UPCF, cum laude 1963) represented UPAA in a One-Man Art Exhibit in April 2008 in Diliman. Thedelegation, headed by UPAA president Noel Cruz, presented a cheque of $10,000 (= 1M Phil pesos) toupgrade the existing Professorial Chair Endowment to UP president Emerlinda Ramos Roman.

UPAA collaborated with the Philippine Press Club Ontario in the book launch of “Seeking aBetter Life Abroad – A Study of Filipinos in Canada” by husband-and-wife authors Eleanor del Rio-Laquianand Dr. Aprodicio Laquian.

Alumni who head Filipino community centers hosted a series of fundraising Kapihan events intheir facilities – Estring Aguinaldo (Fiesta Filipina Cultural Community Centre), Atty. Ching Quejas(Kalayaan Cultural Community Centre) and Rosalinda Cerrudo-Javier (Filipino Centre Toronto).

The Philippine Canadian Medical Association, headed by Dr. Maselle Gaerlan Virey joinedforces with FCT and UPAA and held a seminar on health and wellness in the Filipino community.

UPAA co-hosted with the Philippine Artists Group Canada (PAG) the first ever “ Sketching

From Life” event whereby a professional model was sketched by artists Romi MananQuil and OmelMasalunga and their colleagues at the PAG, with alumni members in attendance. Part of the proceeds of theartwork was donated to the Professorial Chair. Also, UPAA undertook a sizeable order of copies of “ 100Years, 100 Nudes,” a limited edition Centennial coffee table book, which were quickly sold out.

Always, the events we hold command a surge of attendance and participation from everyone. Inone of the Kapihan series, a group of alumnae “of a certain interesting age” donned gigantic flowers anddanced what was supposed to be the hula. Not to be outsmarted, several months later, a group of male alumnidonned Tahitian skirts, wigs and ample brassieres and wiggled their stuff. Both events brought the housedown.

At the same time, the e-mail group produces so much messages among alumni of UP – profound,

intelligent, atrocious, challenging, ridiculous, serious, hilarious, provocative, or downright silly – themessages make one think, wonder, laugh and cry, all at the same time. Take your pick; you’re dealing withUPians.

We sure know good time. But we also know what we stand for – for all the hilarity we share, weknow the seriousness of our goals, and the responsibility of being Filipinos, as citizens of the world, as decenthuman beings, and as creatures of one God.

Tonight we salute each other with respect and humility, for the role we all play in the 100th year anniversary of our Alma Mater. And to UP beloved, thank you a hundred fold.
