The UP Physics Association (UPPA) is an accredited academic organization in the University of the Philippines Diliman dedicated to promoting and advancing Physics both inside and outside UP. Since 1980, UPPA has been the home for Physics enthusiasts to come together for the purpose of attaining higher standards of academic performance and service to the Filipino science community by fulfilling sacred roles of leadership, providing service to the people and integrating Physics students into the university culture.
For more than 30 years, the UPPA has been actively holding activities geared toward the achievement of its goals. Since the first PISIKAalaman, an annual Physics quizbee, in 2004, the UPPA has endeavoured to further expand and develop the event, because the organization believes that PISIKAalaman will be able to make students excel and appreciate Physics in all its aspects outside the classroom. The UPPA is also proud to present the Philippine Young Physicists' Tournament, which is now in its second year of success. It has been approved by the IYPT Secretary General as a version of the International Young Physicists' Tournament otherwise known as the Physics World Cup. These are but a few of the many activities the organization holds in the firm belief that understanding the nature of the physical universe shall benefit all of mankind. |
