The organization stands firmly by its principles of Academic Excellence, Progressive Leadership, Diversity in Activism, Critical Thinking, Political Awareness, and Political Involvement. UP POLSCi furthers the advancement of the study and application of Political Science as a tool in understanding our society as a whole.


==History==


Confronted by both the evolving paradigms in their academic fields of study, the changing realities of campus politics, the lethargic and impotent conditions imposed by the existing status quo, a group of Political Science majors sought to answer the primary problems commonly perceived as both urgent and important: “Is it possible to synergize theory and practice, to study both the theories and realities of political life?”
Nothing could have stopped the birth of an idea whose time has come.


Indeed, the University of the Philippines Political Society (UP POLSCi), formally recognized in July 2004, is an idea whose conception could not be contained. Individuals bound together into one body with a common purpose, aimed towards the synergy of theory and praxis, and driven by the burning passion for excellence and relevance. The individual grows within a context of social and political interplay, where even the personal is political and the political is personal.
==History==
 
The Political Society aims to facilitate this progress through a holistic approach to spiritual, mental, intellectual, and physical development of its members, as political beings in an intricate web of associations both within and without the University. It is a means to a noble end, that is, the building up of people who will make a difference. It is a seemingly Herculean task, a feat on a grand scale, and an impossible dream.
 
Nevertheless, we do strive for we are the Political Society. We are UP POLSCi. Standing proud in its commitment to the realization of its ideals, the doctrine of its collective existence: Progressive Leadership, Diversity in Activism, Academic Excellence, Critical Thinking, Political Awareness, and Political Involvement.

UP POLSCi furthers the advancement of the study and application of Political Science as a tool in understanding our society as a whole.


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 seal 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.
