Students and alumni can now reminisce as UP Town Center, in partnership with ALAB UPIS, launched its fundraising campaign titled Handog last March 12.

ALAB UPIS, a non-profit organization consisting of UPIS Batch '97 alumni, aims to give back to the UP community by starting fundraisers, raising resources, and the mounting of a UPIS commemorative marker at the mentioned mall.

The commemorative marker will take the form of a sculptural bench inspired by its UPIS counterparts. Batches or organizations may make a pledge to have their names engraved on the marker. All accumulated funds will go towards ALAB UPIS’ other projects, such as the Scholarship Support Program, Parangal sa mga Guro at Kawani, and the 2022 Grand Alumni Homecoming.

“We support Batch ‘97’s project to build a UPIS commemorative marker at the former campus grounds,” says Prof. Anthony Joseph Ocampo, UPIS Principal. “The marker is an exciting project that is bringing the community together to celebrate our shared history and giving alumni an opportunity to give back to their alma mater. We are looking forward to its completion."

Last March 5, ALAB UPIS also launched Gunita, an initiative to create markers for iconic UPIS spots where the UP Town Center now stands. The goal of the campaign is to “pay homage to the former campus’ and the mall's joint history, as well as to share it with shoppers.” 

Having served as treasured memories for UPIS alumni, 12 unique individual landmarks are featured, including the Multi-Purpose Hall, the Boston Garden, and “The Teacher” sculpture (a.k.a. Lorna), to name a few.

Signs are erected at the old locations of the landmarks on the mall grounds. QR codes on the markers lead to Gunita Instagram filters, as well as recollections and photographs of each landmark in the old UPIS campus grounds.

Slots for batch or organization pledges for Handog are available from March 15 to June 15, 2022, while the Gunita markers are available to view from March 5 to December 31, 2022, at the UP Town Center (UPTC). More information about the project is available at alabupis.com, the ALAB UPIS official website. //by Dante Aquino, Jeulyanna Ferrer, and Dan Pagsibigan
