UP Cell Biological Society A duly recognized academic organization composed of BS Biology students from the University of the Philippines Los Baños.

BRIEF HISTORY

Back in the days when societies in UPLB offered traditional and middling affairs, 27 male and 27 female biology students wanted to build an organization that will change and revolutionize the meaning of geniality, social sensibility, confederacy, and that of the biological sciences. The 54 determined individuals sought to unite academic excellence and service in the promotion of the sciences and fabricate it with passion, dedication, and heart. With optimism and noble objectives, on the 9th of August, 1990, the UP Cell Biological Society finally took its first breath. OVERVIEW

The UP CELLS is a duly recognized academic organization based at the Institute of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Los Baños, that is also recognized by the National Youth Commission. Aside from being an academic organization, it also aims to reach out to fellow students, organizations, and the community. It aims to bring Biology to a higher level by aiming high not only by maintaining academic excellence, but also by aspiring to develop one’s self, serve the UPLB community, and preserve the UPLB culture. UP CELLS does not plan to excel alone; it anticipates to excel with the community, with every achievement owing them all to Him.

🕯️ And the cellular chase comes to an end… but the legacy of knowledge lives on! 🧬

The final answers have been revealed, and the brightest minds have emerged from the depths of biology! 🏆 Congratulations to the winners of CELLpukan ng Talino at Galing 2026! 🎉

🥉 2nd Runner Up: GG Fricking EZ
🥈 1st Runner Up: Nacordiales
🥇 Champion: Team Name

With the theme “Memento Cellula: When Death Becomes a Strategy in Cells,” we celebrate not only the thrill of competition but also the wonders of biology that inspire curiosity, deepen understanding, and ignite a passion for science. 🧫🔬

A heartfelt thank you to all our participants for sharing their enthusiasm and to our esteemed judges for lending their time and expertise. Through every question and challenge, we continue our mission to spark enthusiasm and foster awareness of biology among students. 💚

As one chapter closes, may the seeds of scientific curiosity continue to grow. After all, even when cells meet their end, the pursuit of knowledge never dies. 🕯️

Meet Isa, our warm, welcoming, and outgoing birthday girl. 💗 She is an enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky party person who also has a kind heart. As what the people around her would say, she is a “madaling makasama” type of person. 🤗 She is the type of friend that would always love to go out with you.

Do you know that she likes Marvel? Aside from that, photography is also another thing she likes doing. 📷 Her love for plants is also reflected in her life, like yass, that’s out plant bio kween. 🌱 Fuzzy pillows are also one of her absolute faves. Talk about something comfy. 💤 Movies and shows wise? You can always watch The Mentalist and chich flicks with her. 🎬

As what one of her friends say, “I wish you are always reminded of how the love you give will always be reciprocated tenfolds by the people around you.” 🥰

Once again, Happiest Birthday, Isa!!! 🥳
