UP Manila: Excellence, Scholarship, Collegiality, Service

My vision for UP Manila is anchored on UP’s mandate to perform its unique and distinctive leadership role in higher education and development as stated in the UP Charter of 2008 or Republic Act 9500. I envision UP Manila as the National Center of Health Research and Development for the Filipino people, building on the outstanding accomplishments of its dedicated academic community.

With a nurturing environment for accelerated CHANGE and INNOVATION, UP Manila will continue to grow academically and keep its competitive advantage.
