UPCAT Advisory

The deadline for submission of the application forms of students from Metro Manila private high schools was July 27 and was extended to today, July 30, 2018.All applications submitted today–physically or by courier (timestamped today)–will be accepted as within the deadline. Everyone remaining in line today will be accommodated. To serve the high volume of applicants, lines have been segmented and dropboxes with someone receiving the forms are available at the Office of Admissions. UPCAT applicants are estimated to have risen to 167,000 this year from 103,000 last year, largely because of the free-tuition policy.As stated on the UPCAT website (upcat.up.edu.ph) applications may be submitted to the Office of Admissions either in person OR through the authorized school representative, OR by courier. Applications sent via courier will not be considered late if posted by courier today. Applicants are urged to utilize courier services to avoid having to line up and to decongest the receiving area.The deadline for submission for Metro Manila public schools remains August 3 and regional private and public schools August 10. Dropboxes will also be made available on those dates. For today all those in line can either submit through a dropbox or line up for permits.Instructions may be found on https://upcat.up.edu.ph/htmls/aboutupcat.html.The public is advised to avoid “fake news” sites and social media accounts supposedly devoted to the UPCAT, some even bearing the UP logo. Official announcements about the UPCAT and the admission procedure are announced only through the following channels:

Democracy flourishes through citizenship education and participation As an academic institution, we affirm that democracy flourishes through active citizenship education and participation. Meaningful dialogue rests on clear understanding of the law so that due process prevails and justice is served according to our Constitution.In the following video produced by the UP Media and Public Relations Office, UP Diliman Department of Political Science Assistant Chair, Prof. Jean S. Encinas-Franco, PhD gives an overview of the impeachment and its significance in exacting accountability from public officials.The video answers the questions that are relevant to recent political events: What is impeachment? Why is it important to a democracy? How is it conducted by Congress?The impeachment process embodies fundamental democratic principles – accountability of public officials, the supremacy of constitutional processes, and the paramount importance of public interest. These proceedings, while inherently political, were designed to serve their constitutional purpose of ensuring accountability among public servants.Continued public engagement and participation in meaningful discussions remain vital in shaping the nation's future and improving the lives of all Filipino people, especially the marginalized.#UPOpenUniversity #CivicAwareness #CivicEngagement ...
