Who we are?
The University of the Philippines Researchers, Extension, and Professional Staff, Inc. (UP REPSS) is a Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered professional society in the pursuit of common scientific, economic, social, and political interests. The society aimed to unify and organize the REPS to develop and promote science, technology, and the arts for the people through sustainable activities. UP REPSS are one in advocating the REPS sectors as a valuable resource of the university and that the REPS sector has contributed significantly to the realization of UP as a research university.
How did we start?
The REPS sector has had a long history of working together as a unified group in its struggle to be recognized as an equally important partner in the performance of UP's tri-function-instruction, research and extension. The first organization among UP REPSS's predecessors was the SHARE established in 1978 and has been active until 1984 in the campaign between for equality between faculty and REPS.
Since the registration in 2009, the society maintained 11 divisions and is clustered together based on location to enhance the interaction and communication among members.
