Junior Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners - PUP Chapter

19/08/2026

Please be advised that our Recognition Day scheduled for tomorrow, August 20, 2026, will be 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗱 to a later date due to the threat of inclement weather and possible class suspensions caused by the typhoon.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this sudden change may cause. An updated schedule and further details regarding the event will be announced as soon as possible. In the meantime, please stay safe, dry, and alert. 💚

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗻𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗼, 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗼, 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗻𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗼💻; 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘀, 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘀, 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱…🤭🎖️

It may not be the graduation just yet, but this will be a day that will be just as special. On August 20, 2026, there will be a recognition for the hard work, sacrifice, and brilliant minds of all the student planners in the EP department. This time, there are a couple of things worth mentioning. First, the spotlight will be on the 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭’𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 from the last academic year. Second, this is the time to award the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐬 made by the 𝟑𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐏 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬! 📄🏅 Hindi lang yarn, this day will be the time the 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐋𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 will be announced! 💻 Edi sana all may free laptop… And lastly, this will also be the day that 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 will be inducted to serve in JPIEP-PUP, offering them a chance to showcase their leadership talents, resilience, and ability to offer the best! ✨🫡

Overall, this is going to be a packed day, kaya prepare yourselves. Behind their recognition are obstacles, trials, and silent battles that each student had to face to get their achievements; a tribute to their resilience. May the students’ journey become recognized, and even if just for a brief moment, remind them that this win is one of the many wins that they will get later on in life. 🍾

𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 🍀

Last August 12, a milestone was celebrated as the Junior Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners - PUP Chapter marked its 𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆

The last four years have brought countless challenges and accomplishments that have shaped JPIEP-PUP into the organization it is today. More than the events we have organized and the milestones we have achieved, these years have been defined by the students and advisers who continue to give their dedication to the team.

As we unfold a new chapter, may we continue to learn beyond the classroom and use our knowledge and skills to contribute to communities and create spaces that serve people and the environment.

To our members, alumni, advisers, and everyone who has been part of our journey, we thank you for helping make these past four years meaningful. Your support continues to inspire us to aim higher and serve better.

“With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.”

Okay, let’s do this one more time, yeah?

My name is [NAME], a [SECTION & YEAR LEVEL] student of Bachelor of Science in Environmental Planning.

A brand new day, and another chance to learn something new. Wherever we are in this journey, there’s always something more to discover, experience, and grow from. I’m looking forward to exploring the places and communities around us, meeting fellow future planners, and seeing how Environmental Planning can help create spaces that are safer, greener, more resilient, and more sustainable.

Of course, the journey won’t always be easy. There’ll be challenges, unexpected turns, and maybe a few road humps along the way. But I guess that’s what makes the journey worth taking. Every experience, whether big or small, gives us another chance to learn and figure out what kind of planner we want to become.

This is the EPverse 🕸️

And yeah… I’m ready.

🌿Sustainabulletin Feature | 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐝

Environmental Planning may remain unfamiliar to many, but its role in shaping communities and building better futures is far from insignificant.

This month’s Sustainabulletin reflects on the realities of pursuing the planning profession and challenges us to ask: "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲?"

But more than simply planning cities, what does it truly mean to be a planner who serves the people?
