==Activities==
All the activities of the Association are aligned with its objectives. Several internal activities are done throughout the academic year based on the interests of the members, such as the Committee Cup, Sem Starter and Sem Ender Parties, Tribute for Graduating Members, Christmas Party, and Research Meetings. There are also regular internal events such as the monthly General Assembly meeting and the Annual Meeting which takes place at the end of the second semester. 

There are two main activities held by the Association, '''PISIKAalaman''' and '''Physics Month'''. PISIKAalaman is an annual physics competition for high school students, which has already reached its tenth year <ref>[http://pisikaalaman20x3.weebly.com/ PISIKAalaman 20X3]</ref>. It has been endorsed by the Department of Education since 2006. [[File:PKLogo.png|left|thumb|The official logo for PISIKAalaman 20X3.]] [[File:PKpic.jpg|thumb|A picture from PISIKAalaman 2012.]]

Physics Month is an annual celebration of physics in the [[National Institute of Physics]], which is usually held in the month of February. It includes several events, which may vary from year to year, such as:

The UPPA also holds free tutorials for various Physics courses. Partnerships with other organizations and companies are also cultivated all year round. Several infographics about physics and Philippine society, such as national elections, calamities, and other current events, are regularly posted at the organization's online portals. Aside from bringing scientific information to the public, the UPPA also holds events for the community such as outreach events and educational projects.
