Message from the Principal

Dear UPHSI alumni and friends, 

On behalf of the UP High School in Iloilo, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Friends of UP Visayas High School Foundation, Inc. Your support has truly made a difference in our school community and touched so many lives.

This year, your generosity provided ₱855,000 for our operating needs, allowing us to attend both local and international conferences, set up events, and address immediate school concerns. ₱837,099 was dedicated to improving our school facilities.

Scholarships and food allowances, amounting to ₱130,000, lightened the burden of deserving students.

Faculty and staff benefited greatly from ₱423,365 allocated for HMO coverage. Finally, ₱150,000 was set aside to support the yearbook for our graduating class of 2025, a memory they will treasure for years to come.

The impact of your kindness is visible in the smiles of our students, teachers, and staff. We are so grateful for your continued commitment to our shared mission. We look forward to working together towards even greater achievements.

With gratitude,

Edelia Braga

UPHSI Principal
