The '''University of the Philippines Association of Political Science Majors (UP APSM)''' is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization which aims to promote, encourage and support the objective study of Political Science. From its base at the University of the Philippines Diliman, the organization has served as a venue for academic enhancement and character development through various activities and programs.

== History ==

UP APSM was conceived while five Political Science majors were savoring the intoxicating taste of San Miguel Beer on the sandy shores of Cavite on the fateful day of '''July 15, 1983.''' This convergence of great minds gave birth to an organization exclusive for Political Science majors with the objective of promoting, encouraging and supporting the study of the most sovereign among the social sciences, that is Political Science.

== The Organization ==

The University of the Philippines Association of Political Science Majors (UP APSM) is a duly recognized organization in the University of the Philippines, Diliman. UP APSM is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization. It is composed of well-rounded political science students of the university as well as honorary members from other disciplines who share UP APSM’s principles and have contributed to the well being of the organization.

Since its inception in 1983, UP APSM has stood by its objective of promoting, encouraging, and supporting the objective study of Political Science. Apart from regular discussion groups among its members, UP APSM has been organizing fora and symposia on relevant topics relating to the discipline and to salient national issues of the day. Recognizing the call to service inherent to being Iskolar ng Bayan, outreach programs are another staple in the organization’s activities. On top of this, UP APSM has been actively participating in various college and university activities.

In keeping with our maxim of being the ''Primus Inter Pares'' (which translates to First Among Equals), UP APSM’s tradition of leadership is manifested in the quality of our members and alumni. Several of our members for this school year hold key positions in various regional and academic organizations both within and outside the university. A number of our alumni have served the college’s student council. Moreover, some of our current members have won in the recently held university elections for both university and colleges’ student councils; Political Science Department Representatives to the Student Council for almost a decade now have come from our organization. UP APSM is where both ends of the political spectrum meet. Different viewpoints co-habit in an environment of openness. This tradition allows us to be the melting pot of multifaceted individuals who sometimes hold conflicting convictions – several of our members are affiliated with opposing political parties in the college and the university.

However, UP APSM’s leadership extends beyond the confines of UP Diliman. In realizing the organization’s objectives, it has consistently sought partnerships with other political science organizations from different colleges and universities. Proof of this is our status as founding member of the Association of Political Science Organizations of the Philippines (APSOP).

Acero, has promoted good relations with the different sectors of society including other organizations, the academe, media, the whole UP community, as well as both the government and non-government organizations, and was laudable in the effective management of the organization’s publicity. Last year, UP APSM shared their love to the kids of the Mandaluyong City Medical through its institution visit, held caroling activities and helped aid one of its prominent members, Kim Yee, in successfully leading the Association of Political Science Organizations of the Philippines (APSOP) with, as the Secretary General and Head of Internals.

The Internals Committee, headed by the dynamic Kristine Borja, who is also the current CSSP rep to the USC, has conducted several fruitful application processes and concluded the 4th and 5th season of EDGE application process producing 24 new set of golds forged in flames. The committee also effectively held activities geared towards the development of the members’ welfare. Competition breeds excellence indeed, as the different committees of UP APSM competed for the Sparks Committee title in the various Intramurals, Inter/Intra Committee, competition. APSM also brought back ‘Pulitikalokohan: The Ultimate Joketime Quizbee Challenge’.

The Finance Committee, preceded by the compassionate Kristia Lorraine V. Caringal, has successfully held events and activities that generate funds for the organization and efficiently supervised the collection of fees. For the purpose of extending the organization’s services to the rest of the UP community, the organization together with the partner establishments released the UP APSM Discount Card: For Us and For All Our Fellow Students. UP APSM also successfully launched Runaway Cupid 2: Going once in Luck, Going twice in Love, a post-valentine human auction event.

The Secretariat Committee, run by the hands on leadership of Yetlen Labaro, has also produced wonderful exhibits as part of the celebration of the Political Science Week, Academic Circle Week, and during the anniversary week of UP APSM and also maintained the official organization website: www.upapsm.com. UP APSM also regained the ever-coveted Miss Polis Crown in the culminating activity of the Miss Polis pageant.

UP Sanlahi Alliance

2013-05-01T11:21:02Z

Msmaligon: /* UP Sanlahi Alliance Administration */

[[Image:Sanlahi_logo.gif|right]]
==The Organization==
The UP SANLAHI ALLIANCE is a duly recognized congregation of different provincial, regional and ethno-linguistic organizations in the University. Founded in 1975, its purpose is to study diverse cultures in the country; to boost solidarity and camaraderie among its member organizations; and to encourage a widening awareness and appreciation of our time-honored cultures and traditions among fellow Filipinos.

The UP SANLAHI ALLIANCE is one of the oldest yet one of the largest and most competitive student organizations in UP Diliman. Its membership is approximately 600 students from seventeen different provincial organizations duly recognized by the University.

UP SANLAHI ALLIANCE works to instill and foster unity and cultural exchange among its members, other students and even non-students. It organizes events which are all first-hand applications of such goals and endeavors and are all done for good causes.

In the past few years, the organization has embarked on various projects that have further pushed the standards of excellence, unity and cultural solidarity. These projects, including CULTURAL NIGHT (TanghalanLahi), FOODFEST (TsibuganLahi), SPORTSFEST (PalakasanLahi), INTER-ORGANIZATION QUIZ BEES (TagisanLahi) and INTER-HIGHSCHOOL QUIZ BEES (PatalasanLahi), serve as a meeting ground for students from different colleges and schools with different cultural backgrounds. Also, since the founding up to the present, it has been recognized as the umbrella organization of different organizations by the UP studentry, and has been recognized as an arm by the Office of the Student Regent.

In 2009, the Vice-Chairperson of Education and Research initiated a research project dubbed as "SALINLAHI: Exploring the Importance and Influence of UPD PRE Orgs" [[Image:SALINLAHI_by_UP_Sanlahi_Alliance_and_UP_CORE.pdf]]. This particular project introduced the term "PRE orgs" as a collective and short term when referring to provincial, regional and ethno-linguistic organizations.

==Member Organizations==

The current members of UP SANLAHI ALLIANCE are:

* [[UP Aguman]] (Pampanga)
* UP [[Anna na Cagayan]] (Cagayan)
* [[UP Angkan]](Cavite)
* [[UP Batangan]] (Batangas)
* [[UP Gimpong- Province of Kalinga]]
* [[UP Hubeag it mga Akeanon (UP HIMA)]]
* [[UP Ibalon]] (Bicol)
* [[UP Kaisa]](Isabela)
* [[UP Kalilayan]] (Quezon and Aurora)
* [[UP Kamangyan]] (Occidental and Oriental Mindoro)
* UP Lagunense (Laguna)
* [[UP Lakan]] (Bulacan)
* UP Lambak (Cagayan Valley)
* [[UP Lawod]] (Masbate)
* UP Namnama (Ilocos)
* UP ONE - Organization of Novo Ecijanos (Nueva Ecija)
* UP Sandiwa (Tarlac)
* UP Saro
* [[UP Sidlangan]] (Biliran, Leyte, and Samar)
* UP Sillag (La Union)
* [[UP Tangway]] (Bataan)

==History==
When Martial Law was declared in 1972, all student organizations were illegalized (except for the [[Philippine Collegian]]). The students were then asserting their right to freedom of association. They believed gathering similar orgs together would strengthen and serve as a pillar for student power. In effect, the UP Sanlahi Alliance was born out of the need for umbrella bodies to press on the first ever held student elections hence a student government.

It was one of the successors of the Consultative Committee on Student Affairs (CONCOMSA I and II) and Committee on Student Affairs (COMSA), along with other student organization sectors namely ASAP (an alliance of social sciences orgs), APASS (an alliance of pure and applied sciences orgs), Fraternity Alliance and Dorm Councils.

When the tenure of COMSA expired and while student elections had not been held yet, these sectors somehow functioned as the legitimate student government in UP Diliman.

In addition, from these alliances emerged the student political party called Sandigan ng Mag-aaral para sa Sambayanan (SAMASA).

Through the alliances’ concerted efforts, the Student Government was re-established and then followed by the formation of student councils in other academic units of UPD.

After all these events, students in the other Metro Manila universities followed suit, and so student governments were also restored to more and more campuses not only in Metro Manila but throughout the country later on in the 80s.

The nine founding member organizations of UP SANLAHI ALLIANCE were:

*UP Aguman (Pampanga)
*UP Cagay-anon (Cagayan de Oro)
*UP Davaweño (Davao)
*UP Ibalon (Bicol)
*[[UP Kalilayan]] (Quezon and Aurora)
*UP Mandala
*UP Namnama (Ilocos)
*UP Palaris (Pangasinan)
*UP Panaghi-usa (Cebu)

Although the UP Sanlahi Alliance had already been working as an org on the third quarter of 1975, it was formally established during the first founding congress on the second semester of AY 1975-98 after it had been recognized. The first faculty adviser was Prof. Helen Estacio Lopez of the Department of English.

==Official Seal==

The official seal was created by Lloyd Llaga of UP Kalilayan. He won the logo-making contest in 1998.

The configuration of the whole logo is a square standing on one of its corners. This orientation represents the four major directions of the compass - UP Sanlahi Alliance covers all corners of the country. In the middle of all of it is an anahaw leaf to explain the material used to build the bahay-kubo; it is only one but a very important part of the house. It further symbolizes the tradition of "bayanihan" known by all. Behind it are the mountains with the sea as foreground. They emphasize the beauty of the geography and the persistence of UP Sanlahi Alliance to unite albeit separated by physical distance in the archipelago. There are also three stars to represent the major island groups and the colors of the flag behind. At the lower part is the year 1975 to commemorate the founding of the alliance. Wrapped around the logo are the name of the university and the alliance.
