As one generation of members goes, another one comes, but despite the temporal separation between the batches, the organization continues to maintain a strong bond among its constituents. To celebrate its 49 anniversary, on March 9, 2024, alumni and members attended dinner together – to celebrate, to share a laugh, and to spark inspiration to one another.Â

Akyat 2024
The Forest Rangers of Mt. Balagbag are no strangers to UP GeMS. For years, there has been constant communication between them and the organization. On March 17 this year, UP GeMS physically went to Mt. Balagbag – to hike and participate in a tree-nurturing activity on the mountain. Akyat also provides an avenue for the organization to extend our donation to the protectors of our forest and their selfless commitment to protecting the environment.
