The University of the Philippines (UP) Baguio is calling on the public to support the University’s donation drive meant to equip its financially challenged students for remote learning amid the ongoing pandemic.
Following the system-wide fundraising and resource generation initiative dubbed as “Kaagapay UP,” UP Baguio organized “Kaagapay UP Baguio” to provide assistance to its students who would be needing support to continue their education in a distance learning setup.
University officials have earlier estimated that over 5,600 UP students cannot afford remote learning.
“Ang maiwanan ang kahit isang iskolar ng bayan ay masakit po para sa atin. Kayâ, gagawa po táyo ng paraan sa abot ng ating kakayahan upang sila ay ating maiangkas at mabitbit sa ating pag-usad,” UP President Danilo Concepcion said during the initiative’s launching last July.
While in kind donations for UP Baguio’s students may be dropped off at the UP Baguio Residence Hall, monetary gifts can be deposited to the UP College Baguio Educational Foundation with BPI bank account number 0560-0126-24.
