It is the oldest and the premier philosophical organization in the country and is arguably the oldest in the South East Asian region. The University of the Philippines Philosophical Society or UP PhiloSoc is a non-partisan College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP)-based university-wide socio-academic organization. True to its motto, “Unity amidst diversity,” in its 60 years of indomitable e
xistence, it has produced alumni who excel not only in philosophy but also in other disciplines. These other disciplines include psychology, business, medicine and even public office. Today, it continues to spread philosophy outside the four walls of the classroom through different socio-civic and academic activities such as lectures, symposia, philosophical discussions, annual blood drives and during our most recent anniversary week, a free eye check-up. Now on its 60th year, UP PhiloSoc will be ushering new breed of members that has risen from the obscurities of the past into the dynamism of its current line of members and leaders. UP PhiloSoc has made and forever will make itself not only a haven for liberal philosophical learning but as a breeding ground for effective, critical and responsible leaders of society in whatever field they may be part of.
