	As a socio-academic organization which fosters speech communication as a field of higher learning and as an important facet of our everyday lives, the University of the Philippines Speech Communication Association (UP SPECA) has been actively spearheading and involving itself in various activities and projects that are deemed beneficial to both the academe and the community. Since its founding in the academic year 2000-2001, UP SPECA has established itself as one of the leading organizations in the UP College of Arts and Letters (CAL) and in the whole University as well, which openly renders its service and manpower whenever the need arises. For the past years, UP SPECA has been organizing seminars, competitions, workshops, and conferences that further the study of speech communication- all of which, most especially those organized this year, have gotten overwhelming feedback from the UP community as well as from participating schools outside the University.

	UP SPECA prides itself as one of the most competent and dynamic CAL organizations. With a total of 70 official members to its name, UP SPECA views its affiliates as assets rather than liabilities, which it can maximize, develop, and rely on as it pursues feasible venues, productive programs, and viable plans for the future. All throughout the year, UP SPECA has been able to employ its members to organize and participate in a variety of academic and social activities that have involved not only students of UP but all those who are willing to partake and share the same interests. Such activities include the Alternative Classroom Learning Experience (ACLE) held in both semesters, the UP SPECA Speech Craft (a public speaking contest open to all UP students), gadget, brand and food sales, and the successful UP SPECA Speech Cup 2008 which showcased various Metro and Mega Manila high schools and colleges and their talents in solo and group oral interpretation and extemporaneous public speaking.

	Valentine's Day for UP SPECA is an important event because two of its most exciting and anticipated events take place during this time, its annual Valentines Festivities namely Lovapaloco and PERFectly In Love (formerly A Very PERFect Love). The two events are headed by the Internal Affairs Committee and the Performance Committee.

	Lovapaloco is a SPECA event wherein the organization is separated into two groups by gender. It is a whole day event which usually culminates before or after PERFectly In Love. The SPECA Girls and SPECA Boys (as the members call themselves) battle each other to show what the sweetest possible thing they can offer to the opposite gender. It is an event where the members of the organization show how much they cherish each other. The 'Kilig' factor usually decides who wins the contest.

	This year, the SPECA Girls prepared a hefty homemade lunch for the SPECA boys, Adobo. They also wore a dress to differentiate that day to an ordinary school day. That night, the SPECA girls sang a song and read a poem in front of the SPECA Boys. Meanwhile, the SPECA Boys wore heart pins, where the names of the each SPECA girl is written, all throughout the day. They also imitated the USC candidates by campaigning in the classes of SPECA girls. But the SPECA boys prepared more than just that, they won over the hearts of the SPECA girls through a fireworks display at the lagoon accompanied by a playing of Pachelbel's Canon in D minor in Violin. The SPECA boys also promised their unwavering love to the SPECA girls through the SPECA Boys Pledge 2010 followed by the singing of Freestyle's Before I Let You Go directed to the senior SPECA Girls who will be graduating this April.

The couple/trios with the highest votes get to perform during the event. The performers then randomly pick one performance from a list prepared by the Performance Committee.

			The other half of PERFectly in Love is the Individual Performance. Aside from nominating couples, the members are also asked to nominate people who they want to see perform. But this time, the members are asked to indicate what kind of performance shall the individual do (e.g. Perform Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal and Pole Dance). People who are usually nominated in this part of the event are those who barely perform in SPECA activities.

			Aside from the performance part of the event, 'kilig' and 'couple' games are also played by the members.
