The UPTC Economics Society proudly extends its warmest congratulations to the entire community of the University of the Philippines Tacloban on its historic elevation as the 𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐏 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦.

From its establishment as an autonomous unit in 2023 to its official recognition today as UP Tacloban, this milestone stands as a testament to the perseverance, collective struggle, and unwavering commitment of the administration, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and all stakeholders who continuously uphold the values of honor, excellence, and service to the people.

As members of the academic community, we take pride in witnessing this transformative moment not only for the institution, but also for Eastern Visayas and the broader Filipino community it serves.

More than an institutional elevation, may the recognition of UP Tacloban as a constituent university mark a decisive step toward a more democratic, student-oriented, and socially responsive education system that does not merely celebrate academic excellence, but actively safeguards student welfare, amplifies student representation, and confronts the long-standing gaps in support and accessibility experienced by the student body.

The UP Tacloban Economics Society proudly congratulates 𝐉𝐨𝐲𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐡𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐝, 4th Year BS Economics, and her team, 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, for securing 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 at the 𝙃𝙎𝘽𝘾 𝙭 𝘼𝙄𝙀𝙎𝙀𝘾 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 2026.

Held at the HSBC Centre in BGC, Taguig City, the competition gathered top universities nationwide and challenged participants to solve real-world business cases under intense time pressure, without the use of gadgets. From over 20 competing schools, the team advanced through the online preliminaries, broke into the Top 12 semifinals, dominated their cluster, and ultimately finished as the 2nd Best Team in the country.

From humble beginnings to the national stage, this achievement is more than just a win, it is proof that excellence thrives beyond traditional centers. The journey of Eastern Disruptors reflects grit, community, and the quiet power of belief: in one another, in UP Tacloban, and in the idea that potential only needs the chance to be realized.

Amid limited resources, they stood their ground. Amid uncertainty, they delivered. And through it all, they carried not just their team, but an entire community that rallied behind them.

Padayon, UP Tacloban. Well-deserved and well-earned! 💚✨
