PROJECTS & PLATFORMS

Preparing for the Next Step: Comprehensive Examination

MA-Handa sa Susunod na Hakbang

The "MA-Handa sa Susunod na Hakbang" is an SPG-wide community review center that would aid the MAPE-IRD students in their preparations for their comprehensive exam. This is to aid the students for the extensive preparations needed with the help of the shared experiences and notes from alumni and professors of the program. Students participating in this program would gain ample time of preparation, ensure security in the program, alleviate worries for the examination, and boost their morale as they continue towards their masteral.

Recognizing SPG Community Talents and Achievements

Polyetong Poleco

The "Polyetong Poleco" is a new monthly pamphlet created to officially recognize the achievements and activities of SPG students and faculty, even those not previously highlighted by the University. By collaborating with POLIS, this initiative provides a platform for the community to share success stories, academic contributions, and professional insights. Ultimately, the publication serves to inspire students, provide ideas for future research, and strengthen the school's identity both inside and outside the University.

Celebrating the Labor of UA&P Workers

Sa Mayo, Uno ang Manggagawa

The "Sa Mayo, Uno ang Manggagawa" is a half-day program dedicated to celebrate and appreciate the working community of UA&P during Labor Day for their efforts in maintaining and improving the facilities of the University. This is to ensure that all members are acknowledged for their work, improve the student and staff relationships, and create a yearly tradition of gratitude and recognition for the staff of each University department.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Keith showed me his strong sense of service. He is composed under pressure and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure that goals are achieved, even if it was out of his comfort zone. Such qualities make him well-suited to represent others. I am confident he will bring dedication and meaningful impact as the next SPG representative.

MM Marajas

First Year Representative AY 2025-2026, UA&P LSG

Keith works incredibly hard, whether in organizations or in the classes we've shared. He's the type of person who raises his hand, builds genuine relationships with professors, brings some of the brightest ideas to the table, and always follows through. But above all, what sets Keith apart is the effort he puts into knowing the people he works with. He listens. He observes. He understands. He is deeply empathetic, and that empathy has translated into leadership that makes people feel seen and empowered. I have no doubt that Keith will bring the same heart, competence, and excellence to SPG and the entire UA&P community. UA&P deserves leadership with vision and direction. I've seen Keith lead - and I know he's ready to lead again.

Editor-in-Chief 2025, The Bosun

Fortunately, I've had the opportunity to work with Keith when I was the PR Head for UA&P POLIS. I've always seen him with respect-due to his resilience, tenacity, and sense of responsibility. I have seen how he deals with situations on a personal and professional level; and because of this, I truly commend him for handling his achievements and adversity with grace, and his positive outlook for the future ahead.

Cai Pacia

Secretary-General, 2025-2026, UA&P POLIS

Even when my time in POLIS has reached an end, Keith made sure to remain friendly and open to conversations regardless of any topics. I think that one of his main strengths stem from how friendly and kind he is as a person.
