Upcoming Events
July 25: Salu-Summer Saya
Salu-Summer Saya is UPAABC’s much-loved annual summer picnic, a joyful day of food, laughter, games, and connection under the sun. Bring your family, friends, and picnic spirit as we come together to celebrate community, friendships, and the simple joy of being together. Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting new ones, Salu-Summer Saya is all about sharing good vibes and good stories. 🌻
August 20: Trekada
Trekada is UPAABC’s annual summer hike, and this year, it also doubles as our quarterly Kumustahan. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe fresh air, and reconnect with fellow members while enjoying the outdoors. Open to all experience levels, Trekada is less about the pace and more about the journey: meaningful conversations, shared steps, and strengthening community bonds, one trail at a time. 🌿
September: ALAB (Alumni Linkages and Bonds)
ALAB, short for Alumni Linkages and Bonds, is UPAABC’s annual new member orientation and community welcome. Designed for new members and those curious about joining, ALAB offers an introduction to who we are, what we do, and how you can be part of the UPAABC journey. Expect stories, connections, and opportunities to get involved as we welcome new faces and strengthen the bonds that keep our community growing. 💛
October 22: Kumustahan – Members Social
Kumustahan is UPAABC’s quarterly members social: a relaxed space to check in, reconnect, and spend meaningful time with fellow members. Join us for good conversation, shared stories, and a chance to strengthen our community in a casual, welcoming setting. Whether you’re a long-time member or newly joined, this is a time to say kumusta, catch up, and enjoy being together.
