UP Kustura is a socio-cultural organization comprising of college students from the University of the Philippines, Diliman, residing in the City of Marikina. It was founded with the aims of binding, consolidating UP students, who are living in Marikina and of Marikeno lineage, promoting academic and leadership excellence, and advancing the social, cultural, economic and political consciousness of the people of Marikina.

UP Kustura commits itself to serve the university and the community as a whole through projects and programs that will help preserve and build the pride and dignity of the City of Marikina.

History

The concept of founding UP Kustura is rooted on the inspiration of having a recognized geographic-based or ethnicity-based UP student organization for those who are from the National Capital Region, particularly, those who live in Marikina City and/or those who has Marikeño lineage.

It all started in early 2001 when a small group of students from different colleges in Diliman engaged on the idea of forming a provincial/regional org that would represent the National Capital Region. But since all of them are from Marikina City and they thought that it would require a bigger effort for them to consolidate Metro Manileño/as in the campus, they decided to form a city-org instead, thus giving birth to UP Kustura, a Marikeño Student Organization, the first and only Metro Manila-based city student organization in UP Diliman.

On the 7th day of July, the organization’s constitution (which was written in Filipino) was formally certified by more or less twenty five (25) undergraduate students enrolled in the different colleges of the university. This has also become the organization’s official founding date. In the same year, the founding members were also able to work on the recognition of the org by the university’s Office of Student Affairs as a university-wide city-based student association in UP Diliman.

Since its founding year, UP Kustura continues to commit itself to the ideals of service and excellence while promoting Marikina’s culture and pride, both in the university and in the city it represents.
