UPLB Loyalty Day

Loyalty Day: Why Celebrate?

Every October 10, UPLB celebrates the Loyalty Day and Alumni Homecoming. How and why exactly is UPLB celebrating it? It all goes back to the year 1918 when World War I was on its fifth year in Europe and world conditions were increasingly becoming unstable. The Allies, which included the US, needed more manpower against the Central Powers. Thus, when the Government called for volunteers, the UP College of Agriculture (UPCA) readily took the opportunity.

On October 10, 1918, 193 (60%) of the total student body and 27 faculty members enlisted to serve in the Philippines National Guard to fight in one of the world’s most historic clashes. Senate President Manuel L. Quezon recognized the heroic spirit of these young men and women.

LOYALTY DAY: HISTORY AND ESSENCE REVISITED

The Gift of Sight Legacy Project

This legacy project has been initiated by the Class of 1974 in collaboration with UPLB and UPLB Alumni Association Inc. (UPLBAA). Its goal is to install a cataract surgery and eyecare facility at the University Health Service (UHS) which will cater to the constituents of UPLB, Los Baños, and nearby towns.
