The UP Pride Week is an annual event that celebrates everyone's diversity, regardless of gender. We organized the first ever Pride March in Cebu back in 2015.
UP PRIDE is a Cebu-based organization founded in the University of the Philippines - Cebu. We are a group originally established by volunteer individuals embodying the spirit of volunteerism. A year after, we decided to form an official organization in order to give a voice to the voiceless, a crutch to the abused, and a hand to the oppressed and marginalized sectors of our society: the peasants,
the workers, the national minorities, the women, the members of the LGBTQIA+ community, the wrongly accused, and every single discriminated individual. We stand that every person deserves recognition as a human being entitled with human rights. We believe that every person is confronted by a constant, continuous struggle woven together by different backgrounds and experiences. These struggles are bound together, underscored by our collective fight for a just and equal society free of discrimination. No one is free, until everyone is free. Your struggle is our struggle.

MINDWORKS, the annual performance and experimental art show of the UP Cebu Fine Arts Program, returns for its 38th year with the theme βBoang Boangon Ang Boangβ.
The phrase, seemingly nonsensical at first glance, is a call to introspect and unpack the concept of the boang. Here, the word boang does not denote a figure. Instead, it points to the absurdβa senseless experience or situation beyond rationality. But because our present world is seemingly oversaturated with so much absurdity, we have created a bizarre culture that evades truth, glorifies violence, and amplifies discord. We have become so accustomed to the ridiculous that we mistake it for normalcy. The theme, then, urges people to interrogate this deceptive facade, unveil the boang for what it is, and break free from it.
Join us this February 26-March 2 as we celebrate MINDWORKS 38.
Ali na, boang!

WORLD AIDS DAY FORUM
The UPC University Student Council, in partnership with Cebu United Rainbow LGBTQ+ Sector (CURLS) & UP Cebu Gender and Development Office (UPC GAD), invites all iskolars to celebrate and join in the World Aids Day Forum this coming December 1 (Friday). In line with the 18-day campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW), this forum presents a series of discussions about HIV/AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), LGBT Health, and SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression) as a human right.
The campaign, beginning from November 25 until December 12, banners the theme of a United UP Cebu for a safe space university. Part and parcel of achieving a safe space, especially from violence and discrimination, always begins with talking about these issues in the name of breaking the stigma. This forum, among amny others, is a manifestation of such a step towards safer spaces-- by knowing and talking about our health and our rights, we are one step closer to the UP Cebu we deserve.
Salmot og magpasalmot! See you all this December 1 at the Lawak Sinehan from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Snacks will be provided. π»
