Message from the President

Dear Alumni and Friends,

As I reflect on the foundation’s milestones over the past year, my heart is filled with gratitude for the unwavering support of our community.

Your generosity, commitment, and belief in our shared mission have driven the Friends of UP Visayas High School Foundation, Inc. to achieve meaningful progress.

Through your generosity, we received a total of ₱8,275,593.57. Special thanks to the RSA Foundation, ICTSI Foundation, Inc., and the Francis & Chit Jardeleza Foundation for their seed donations of ₱2,000,000 each, as well as the alumni community’s collective contribution of ₱2.2 million.

Your support made it possible to allocate 53.02% of our funds to the UPV City campus electrification project, addressing critical infrastructure needs. However, our work is far from over. It is through your kindness and partnership that we can continue to build on these successes and address the growing needs of our students, faculty, staff, and broader school community.

Together, we have made significant strides in fulfilling our mission of supporting the UP Visayas High School community. From providing scholarships to supporting programs that enhance student and faculty development, every accomplishment reflects the collective effort of individuals like you.

Looking ahead, I am confident that with your continued support and collaboration, we can achieve even greater milestones.

Thank you for your trust, commitment, and generosity.
