We are a community of professionals from the University of the Philippines (UP) based in Melbourne, Victoria. We exist to enliven and uplift the professional network of UP alumni living in Melbourne and create a long-lasting impact to the Filipino Australian community. We are here to empower, connect and become visible as truly proud 'Isko at Iska ng bayan' (scholars of the state).
