upCurrents is an update aggregator. It aggregates news, tweets, UP-FM audio stream, videos from various trusted sources automatically and feeds them via its website (dilc.info/currents) or mobile app (see download below).

upCurrents now collects updates every 15 minutes from the following sites:
- UP Diliman
- UPD OVCRD
- UP System
- DILC and its tweeter feed
- GoogleNews RSS on "University of the Philippines"
Many UP sites should be included but the challenge is that they're not RSS-ready.
