== Upsilonians during WWII ==

During [[World War II]], some members took the field. Among the Upsilonians who gave up their lives were [[Wenceslao Vinzons|Wenceslao Q. Vinzons]] (former UP Student Council President, youngest delegate to the 1934 Constitutional Convention, and Governor of [[Camarines]]), [http://www.geocities.com/pampgen/adelrosario.htm Agapito del Rosario] (Mayor of [[Angeles City|Angeles]], [[Pampanga]]), and [[Jose Abad Santos]] (Secretary of Justice and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court), all of whom were executed for refusing to swear allegiance to the Japanese Empire.

Others stayed behind; most noteworthy of these was [[Jose P. Laurel]] (President of the Republic of the Philippines), who put his life at risk in protecting the interests of the Filipino people while suffering rebuke from his detractors who accused him of collaboration.
