Alpha Phi Omega - Theta Zeta Chapter

𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗣𝗨𝗣𝗨𝗚𝗔𝗬, 𝗨𝗣 𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗕𝗔𝗡!🌻

The University of the Philippines Tacloban is now officially the 9th constituent university of the UP System. The UP Board of Regents (BOR) approved the elevation yesterday, May 27, following the institution's transition to an autonomous unit in 2023.

This recognition reflects the commitment to academic excellence and public service, and honors the fruits of persistent efforts and collective struggle of the UP Tacloban community.

Despite this, the fight for a genuine, student-oriented institution is far from over, and its success cannot be measured by titles alone. It must be forged through conducive learning spaces, upgraded facilities, and a guaranteed budget for the student publication and the often-overlooked disciplines like the arts and humanities. Most importantly, it must manifest as proactive protection and a genuine guarantee of student safety.

True autonomy manifests when the very people the university is sworn to serve are protected, empowered, and given the rightful service they truly deserve.

Alpha Phi Omega - Theta Zeta Chapter warmly congratulates alumnus, 𝗕𝗿𝗼. 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗮, for his transformative service as a 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗻𝗴ó𝗱 volunteer for School Year 2025–2026 at Tupig High School located in the Special Geographic Area of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

Bro. Limar’s journey is a reminder that true service is, above all, a commitment to the people. By stepping into the heart of a community where his presence was needed most, he showed that the essence of being an Iskolar para sa Bayan is not found in a title, but in the humility to serve and the willingness to walk alongside those at the margins.

We honor Bro. Limar not only for the academic guidance he provided but also for the lasting impact he has made on the lives of his students and the community at large. May his dedication inspire people to pursue the path of selfless service and to remain strong in our collective mission to serve the people.

May We Always Be! ⚜️💙💛

In celebration of Women’s Month 2026, Alpha Phi Omega - Theta Zeta Chapter hosted "𝗛𝗘𝗥𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴, 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴" on March 28. The symposium united women of Brgy. 85 San Jose, Tacloban City, for an informative talk on women’s mental health and fundamental rights.

The program featured keynote speakers who honored women for their indispensable roles as pillars of society while shedding light on the complexities of their lived realities. Atty. Balvin Quillotes, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, delivered an address on legal rights under Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC), while Sis. Gemmie Lyn Navarro-Rea provided expert insights into psychological well-being and mental health resilience.

It was a day dedicated to championing the fundamental rights of women and empowering them to harness their transformative strength and become active voices for the future.

This initiative was successfully realized through the support of the barangay council led by Brgy. Captain Ryan Val Deleña.

The blaze reduced homes to ashes, forcing residents to flee with little to nothing, losing not only their shelter but also essential belongings and important documents. Affected families are now seeking temporary refuge as they begin the difficult process of recovery.

In this time of urgent need, we humbly call for 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to support the affected families. Your help can provide immediate relief and hope for rebuilding.

Witness the thrilling moments from our Laro ng Lahi events, 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚, 𝐉𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐬, and 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐨, during the recent Sportsfest 2026. Participants from different batches showcased not only strength and skill, but also strategy and determination, embodying the spirit of demigods at Camp Half-Blood 🏕

Inspired by Percy Jackson & the Olympians, where heroes prove their worth through challenges, each player rose to the occasion as a true warrior. From the precision in Jolens, to the quick reflexes in Dampa, to the raw strength in Bunong Braso—every moment reflected grit and excellence.

Congratulations to all the batches!
