Committed to making a positive impact on the lives of students, teachers, staff, and the wider community through our support of the UP High School in Iloilo.
Dear Alumni and Friends,
We’re excited to share some good news about last year’s Annual Fundraiser! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to raise an incredible ₱8,275,593.57. Special thanks to the RSA Foundation (Ramon S. Ang), ICTSI Foundation, Inc. (Enrique K. Razon), and the Francis & Chit Jardeleza Foundation, each of whom gave ₱2,000,000 to help get things started. We’re also deeply grateful to our UP alumni and friends, who came together to contribute a remarkable ₱2.2 million.
These funds made a real difference. Just over half (53.02%) was dedicated to the electrification project at the UPV City campus, tackling an urgent infrastructure need. Another ₱855,000 went to support the school’s daily operations, helping students take part in both local and international conferences, run events, and solve everyday school challenges. We used ₱837,099 to upgrade our school facilities, and set aside ₱130,000 for scholarships and food allowances for ten students. Our faculty and staff were able to benefit from a healthcare coverage, with ₱423,365 going to HMO support. We also earmarked ₱150,000 for the yearbook of the graduating class of 2025.
This year, we’re excited to welcome Class 1986 led by Marie Karen Jiz, Jere Cejar, Rovea Onglatco, and Marigold Milliam as the new leaders of our Fundraising Committee for the next two years. We are delighted to have them onboard as we embark on improving and delivering more meaningful projects for UPHSI.
For 2025, our Annual Fundraiser will roll out in two parts. The first phase, happening from July to December, focuses on class and individual donations from alumni. In the second phase, we’ll cap things off with a Mardi Gras event on March 27, 2026. This gathering is a chance to bring together friends and fellow alumni for a purposeful celebration.
Looking forward, we’re committed to building more programs by working closely with local and national officials. We are hopeful that this will truly benefit UPHSI and the UP Visayas community.
With your ongoing support, we know we can achieve even more.
Thank you for the trust and for believing in what we can do together as a community.
Padayon, UP High!
-Francis, Karen, & Jere
