UP ASSOCIATION OF BIOLOGY MAJORS (ABM)

The University of the Philippines Association of Biology Majors (UP ABM) is a socio-academic student organization based in the UP Institute of Biology, in the College of Science. Initially formed out of the friendship of a group of Biology students, UP ABM has grown, in terms of scope and achievements, into something much greater over the past four decades.

Established in the summer of 1975, UP ABM continues to uphold the academic, social and moral development the organization has instilled in its members and alumni, through its various events such as BioLOGIC (an inter-high school Biology quiz bee), The Pencil Project (a pencil drive during UPCAT), educational discussions and seminars, statements and other infographic releases, and numerous medical, dental and tuli missions. UP ABM is also recognized as one of the College’s outstanding student organizations in the past years, nominated & recognized as one of the University’s Outstanding Student Organization several times, and is currently the Champion of the annual College of Science Carolfest. UP ABM is also the founding organization of the Biology Majors Alliance of the Philippines (BMAP), which was officially recognized by the Biology Teachers Association (BIOTA) last December 15, 2007 & is also a member organization of the Youth Advocates for Climate Action in the Philippines (YACAP).

Only a true Biology major knows what life is really about, and here in UP ABM, we don’t just study life, we live it!
