About UP ABM

The University of the Philippines Association of Biology Majors is a socio-academic organization committed to the ideal of producing responsible, just, and zealous citizens ready to serve their countrymen.

History
In the summer of 1975, 54 students enlisted in Botany 190, a course known as Field Botany, with Ms. Diane Liwag as their laboratory instructor. The class had three out of town trips. The first trip was to Mt. Makiling, the second to Bolinao, Pangasinan and the third one to Baguio City. Joe Ang, Arab Arambulo, Eric Chua Yap, Ruby de Leon, Tootsie Ignacio, Ammie Galoso, Chris Garcia, Marilyn Gueverra, Nina Frayna, Rene Oracion, Alice Piedad, Victor Vicente and Yeng de Guia managed to group together for the field work, with Alice Piedad as group leader.

In the first trip, they reached Peak II which was 1,080 meters above sea level. In the second trip, they were able to overcome the inconveniences brought about by the lack of fresh water and toilet facilities. In the third trip, they visited Mt. Sto. Tomas, Mt. Data and Borromeo Field in the PMA compound. The group stayed there for one night in order to consolidate their individual reports on each study area. It was during this overnight session that the idea of forming an organization was born.

The group, then called BTHS, started out as a casual and unsanctioned organization. It was formalized into the UP Association of Biology Majors on June 8, 1975. Eventually, it was duly recognized as a socio academic organization of the university on July 16, 1975.


Mission
UP ABM reaffirms its mission to be an instrument in the fomation of service-oriented members who pursue academic excellence. It strives to orient and equip its members to respond positively to the needs of others. For this to be realized, UP ABM strives to:
  • Promote Biology as a subject and as an institution relevant to our nation's future.
    • UP ABM vows to establish the importance of Biology and help its members prepare for possible careers in Biology and related sciences, including Medicine.

  • Develop cultural, environmental, political, and national awareness.
    • UP ABM vows to promote a strong sense of social responsibility, swift action, and justice that will aid in our growth as Filipinos with significant roles in the global community.
Vision

  • Friends whose camaraderie reflects among its members and extends to people outside the association.
    • UP ABM strives to provide an environment that leads to growth as a solid family of friends.
