The University of the Philippines Political Society (UP POLSCi) is the youngest academic organization based at the Department of Political Science, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, University of the Philippines – Diliman resting upon the pillars of Leadership, Service, Excellence, and Politics.
The organization stands firmly by its principles of Academic Excellence, Progressive Leadership, Diversity in Activism, Critical Thinking, Political Awareness, and Political Involvement. UP POLSCi aims to promote Political Science as a tool in understanding and transforming society.
History
It all began with small group discussions of Political Science majors that endeavored to shed light on exigent issues confronting their society at that time. They asked whether: “Is it possible to synergize theory and practice, to study both the theories and realities of political life?”
In 2003, their attempts to answer this question gave birth to the establishment of a student organization exclusively for Political Science majors; naming the organization the University of the Philippines Kalipunan para sa Agham Pampulitika, or UP KMAP.
Weeks and months wore on as UP KMAP gradually refined its identity, principles and structural organization and the organization slowly took shape in the hands of its initiators, despite the absence of formal leadership. Towards the close of the academic year, the members changed the name of the organization to the University of the Philippines Kalipunan sa Agham Panlipunan or UP KASAPi. The founders persevered toward the goal of formal recognition by the college. By this time, an Executive Committee was established by collective appointment and new members were invited to the organization. With increasing zeal and unflagging enthusiasm, the founders of UP KASAPi finished what they originally sought to do with KMAP.
It was at this juncture that an important phase of the organization’s history occurred – the organization was renamed University of the Philippines Political Society, UP POLSCi. It was under this name that the organization took its final form, and formal recognition by the college was granted in July 2004.
The UP POLSCi journey does not end here. UP POLSCi continues to look forward, march forward, and climb upward to new heights.
Vision and Mission
Vision
The UP Political Society envisions itself as the premier political science organization in the University of the Philippines by upholding the pillars of leadership, service, excellence, and politics. It is dedicated to promote the study and application of political science as a tool in understanding society.

Activities
Politics 101 Camp - Ped Xing
This project, known as the POLITICS 101 CAMP, is one of the major events of the UP Political Society every academic year. To be spearheaded by the organizations’ Executive Committee, the project aims to cater the potentials of the youth as future effective leaders of the society. Target participants of this camp would be high school students from the National Capital Region and nearby areas. This project aims to introduce Political Science both as a discipline and a practice by allowing the participants to understand current events through a scientific analysis of politics.
Educational Discussions
Part of the organization's aim for academic excellence, critical thinking, political awareness, and political involvement are UP Political Society's regular educational discussions (ED). Spearheaded by the Education, Research, and Training Committee (ERT), these group discussions, conducted once every month at the very least, aim to increase awareness and to be able to make stands for each, as a response towards issues and all its aspects in the current society.
Pasabog
This annual election event aims to engage CSSP candidates from all political formation in a critical debate on pressing college, university, and national issues. Furthermore it allows for the CSSP student body to know better the people who are soon to lead them as members of the college's student council.
Political Science Tour
This project aims to introduce the discipline of political science to graduating high school students by visiting their schools and providing talks on the nature of the discipline and career opportunities one might explore after finishing a degree in political science.
Voter Registration Satellites
Guided by the principles of political awareness and political involvement, UP POLSCi, in partnership with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), holds satellite registrations in selected barangays of Quezon City. This activity aims to amplify the involvement and participation in politics of the residents of these barangays.
The Sword
The Sword is the organization's newsletter published at least twice a year, under the supervision of the Publicity and Publications Committee. It contains 12 pages - Front Page, two (2) pages for News, three (3) pages for Editorial and Opinion, four (4) pages for Literary and Feature, and two (2) pages for Entertainment / "Fun Page".
