SABLAY ORIGIN🌻

The iconic UP Sablay was introduced in 1990 and officially adopted in 2000 as the University of the Philippines’ official academic costume, replacing the traditional Western mortarboard and toga.

Inspired by Filipino culture and indigenous design elements, the Sablay symbolizes nationalism, respect for indigenous culture, honor, and academic excellence. Its ukkil design represents the growth of knowledge, while its geometric patterns reflect design elements common across indigenous cultures in the Philippines.

More than just an academic garment, the Sablay stands as a powerful symbol of pride, service, and the enduring spirit of the iskolar ng bayan.

The UPCAT 2026 results are out!

Out of 147,437 applicants who took the UPCAT last year, 18,350 have qualified for admission to the University of the Philippines for Academic Year 2026–2027. This figure includes both degree program qualifiers and those on the waitlist.

During a press briefing held at the UP Executive House in Diliman on April 22, 2026—the same day as the release of results—UP President Angelo Jimenez announced that this year’s number of qualifiers is higher than last year’s 17,996 out of 135,256 applicants.

Students from public schools, including science high schools, comprise 57.1% of this year’s qualifiers, compared to 42.5% from private schools—an increase from last year’s 55% and 45%, respectively.

“This increasing percentage of UPCAT qualifiers from public schools has been a consistent trend over the past few years, and this year it continues to move in the same direction,” Jimenez said.

He added that this trend suggests “that the steps we have taken to expand and democratize access to quality UP education are beginning to make an impact in meaningful ways.”

Applicants who have been offered admission must confirm their slot by May 16.

Nalulunod man ang mga tuhod sa sakit ng pagluhod, patuloy na nagsusumamo ang mga palad para sa kalayaan. Sinasariwa at ipinapaalala ng imaheng ito ang mga hindi nakikitang hugis ng katapangan sa tipon-tipong paglaban.

Sa ika-40 taong anibersaryo ng EDSA People Power, nakikiisa ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa paggunita ng yugtong kailanma’y hindi malilimutan sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa. Sa kapangyarihan ng nagkakaisang mamamayan, payapang nakamit ang demokrasya. Nilinang ng People Power ang pag-asa at paghangad sa mas maayos na pamumuno ng mga susunod.

Bagaman nag-uugat ang pagluklok sa maingat, matalino, at responsableng pagpili, walang tigil ang pagluhod at paghiling ng sambayanan. Tugon ng mamamayan ang pagkapit sa aral ng nagdaan, na nawa’y manahan sa puso at pananagutan.

Ngayong araw, muling binabalikan ang pisikal at emosyonal na lagakan ng pakikibaka. Sa bawat kalsada, bulwagan, at espasyong digital, hangad ng UP ang mapayapa, matiwasay, at ligtas na pagsulong ng mga adhikaing pambansa.
