All are invited to join the UP Tacloban community in celebrating its first five decades as an institution committed to excellence and service to the region and the nation.
The University of the Philippines Tacloban College is celebrating its 50th founding anniversary on 23 May 2023 with an anniversary convocation and a concert by the UP Symphony Orchestra to be held at 5:00 PM in front of the old Leyte Provincial Capitol at the corner of Magsaysay Boulevard and Senator Enage St. The convocation and concert are free and open to the public.
There will be a short motorcade around the city just before the convocation on 23 May 2023. A fun run on 28 May 2023 will cap the celebration this month. Details about the fun run will be posted soon.
UP Tacloban was established by the UP Board of Regents on 23 May 1973 to provide quality education, undertake scientific research, and extend technical assistance to government, businesses, and the general public to help improve the quality of life in Eastern Visayas. In 1986 it was integrated with UP Visayas as part of the 1983 reorganization of the University into a system of autonomous constituent universities.
On 27 April 2023, the UP Board of Regents approved the elevation of UP Tacloban into an autonomous college under the Office of the UP President, as a first step towards becoming a full-fledged constituent university of the UP System.
