In December 2004, a small group of UP alumni -- former HK Consul Tess de Vega, former LabAtt Bernie Julve, Daisy Mandap, Leo Deocadiz, Arlene Robles, Mida & Benj Azada, Bev & Eli de Vera, Therese Necio-Ortega, Joey Ortega, Smiley Julve, Mr. and Mrs. Garry Galvez, Atty. Chato Gallo and Reggie Amigo -- gathered at the China Tee Club for a Christmas celebration.  The result was the formation of the UP Alumni Association- Hong Kong (UPAA-HK), a non-profit organisation registered in accordance with the provisions of section 5A(1) of the Hong Kong Societies Ordinance. The UPAA-HK is duly accredited by the University of the Philippines Alumni Association Inc.  The UPAA-HK aims to assist students of their alma mater and the Hong Kong Filipino community.
 
The association's objectives under its constitution are:
  • to organize the members' collective efforts in assisting their alma mater in the fulfilment of its academic mission as a world-class institution for tertiary education;
  • to help strengthen the University's role in the development of Philippine society and of the Filipino nation; and
  • to assist UP alumni in seeking gainful employment where their professional competence is most suited.
From a handful of members at one Christmas gathering, the organization has grown into a family of over a hundred.  We are a diverse group of journalists, lawyers, social workers, engineers, community organisers, homemakers, media professionals, artists, business owners, teachers, and more.  For more information please write to:
