Bataan is a landform termed as tangway or peninsula. It is a landmass surrounded by bodies of water which unlike an island has a corner connected to another landmass. And so the organization was named Tangway.
Through the years, UP Tangway has its share of dilemmas – financial, political, social, personal – but for 23 years, Tangway’s tradition of service and excellence, famous most in Bataan, never ceases.
