Their enduring legacy reminds us that the liberties we enjoy today were won through generations of resilience, patriotism, and collective action.

The University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) joins the Filipino people in celebrating this historic occasion and honoring the values of freedom, unity, and nationhood that continue to shape our collective future.

In observance of Philippine Independence Day, work and classes across all USeP campuses are suspended.

DID YOU KNOW? The Philippines laid the groundwork to become the first constitutional republic in Asia when its independence was proclaimed on June 12, 1898, in Kawit, Cavite. During this historic declaration, the Philippine flag was officially unfurled for the first time, and the national anthem—then known as the Marcha Filipina Magdalo—was played. This pivotal event culminated in the formal inauguration of the First Philippine Republic on January 23, 1899.

[LOOK]The Graduate School of Technology will hold a Public Forum for student-researchers on May 14, 2026, via Google Meet. Christine U. Idul will present her thesis titled "Instruction Amid Limitations: Lived Experiences of CSS Teachers in Technologically Constrained Computer Laboratories." Ms. Idul is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Technology Education. The forum provides a supportive platform for researchers to share their findings and engage in meaningful discussions with stakeholders. These interactions enhance understanding and facilitate the practical application of research results.

[𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲] This May, the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) joins the nationwide observance of National Heritage Month, led by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, embracing this year’s theme, “Roots and Horizons. Shared Heritage. Our Collective Future.”

From time-honored traditions and ancestral knowledge to the evolving expressions of today’s generation, heritage continues to shape our identity as a people. It lives in our languages, stories, crafts, and cultural spaces, connecting us across generations while guiding us toward the future.

This year’s celebration invites every member of the community to take part in safeguarding and promoting our shared heritage. Whether by visiting historical sites, supporting local artists, learning traditional practices, or simply listening to the stories of those who came before us, each act helps keep our culture alive and meaningful.

As an academic institution committed to nation-building, USeP continues to support initiatives that document, preserve, and promote cultural heritage through instruction, research, and community engagement. These efforts contribute to strengthening cultural awareness and shaping a generation that values both its roots and its role in building the future.

May this National Heritage Month deepen our appreciation of the stories that shape us, inspire us to honor and safeguard our shared traditions, and encourage us to actively take part in preserving and enriching our cultural legacy, for the communities we serve and the generations to come.
