About Us

The UP Mass Communicators Organization or UP MCO is a duly recognized university-wide academic organization based at the UP College of Mass Communication in the University of the Philippines, Diliman. Founded in 1993 by a group of freshmen, UP MCO is an organization committed to molding competent future media practitioners through proper media education and analysis, and also through the responsible use of mass media. It is also committed to advocating the importance of responsibility in the field of mass communication by raising the bar in media awareness and education. By creating venues for discussing and evaluating mass media, UP MCO elevates media literacy and encourages critical analysis among audiences.

Some of UP MCO's activities include Major Issue, a symposium tackling important and timely issues in the field of mass media, Entertainment Quiz Show (EQ), a quiz show on popular culture, and MCO Box Office (MBO), a mixed media festival showcasing productions produced, directed, and starred in by UP MCO members. The organization is also most notably known for organizing Hot Off the Grill, the College’s annual miting de avance for local and university-wide student council candidates.

Now on its 19th year, UP MCO continues to be a paragon of excellence by continuing to organize activities that are well-acclaimed and widely celebrated in the College, staying true to its nature as an organization that is truly exciting, truly academic, and truly outstanding.
