He fought not with a sword, but with words. He liberated not with violence, but with wisdom. On this day, we remember that the sharpest weapon against oppression is an educated mind.

May the light of Rizal’s intellect guide us in our pursuit of truth.

UP ALCHEMES would like to commend its alumni for displaying excellence in their respective field of study.

We congratulate Dr. Ram Tamargo for winning "Best Oral Presentation" in the 14th International Conference on Material Science and Engineering Technology (ICMSET) held last November 21 to 24, 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Dr. Tamargo presented "Cu/Mn Oxidation Catalyst Integration into Recycled Carbon Fiber-based Filter for Diesel Soot Emission Control" on behalf of alumni Alchemists Alea Serrano, Roimela Carcer, and Katrina Cada, who completed the study as their undergraduate thesis.

We applaud Dr. Jem Perez for being conferred the UP Scientist rank under the Scientific Productivity System (SPS) of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA), a title granted to deserving scientists for a period of three years.
You are all testaments of an Alchemist's unwavering pursuit for excellence. We hope that you continue to make a difference and break free!💚

Ngayon araw, hindi lamang natin ginugunita ang kaarawan ni Andres Bonifacio, atin ring inaaalala ang kaniyang katapangan na humarap sa pang-aapi, sa kaniyang paninidigan para sa kalayaan, at ang kanyang wagas na pagmamahal sa bayan. Nawa ay ang araw na ito ay maging isang simbolo ng pagpapahalaga sa kasaysayan at paglaban upang matamo ang isang malayang Pilipinas.

Ipagpatuloy natin ang kanyang laban sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa, malasakit, at matapat na pagliligkod sa bayan.

Maligawang Kaarawan, G*t. Andres Bonifacio!
