The University of the Philippines Gawad Pangulo awarding ceremony is the culminating event of the Linggo ng Unibersidad. Gawad Pangulo is the Presidential recognition that members of the UP community receive for their achievements and contributions that advance the mandate of UP.
Designed by renowned architect Carlos Arguelles, and facing National Artist Napoleon Abueva’s Siyam na Diwata ng Sining (Nine Muses of the Arts), Bulwagang Rizal, more widely known as the University of the Philippines Diliman Faculty Center, was home to department and faculty offices of the College of Arts and Letters (CAL) and the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP).

It might surprise people to know that despite its immortalization in Philippine ecotourism, very little is actually known about the Philippine tarsier.
With a focus on fostering a just, equitable, and sustainable society, UP’s strategic themes prioritize preparing graduates for the future, promoting public service for the common good and ensuring transparent and accountable governance.
For the past 116 years, the University of the Philippines has proven itself worthy of the title of the country’s national university.
