The Board of Regents (BOR), during its 1227th meeting on November 23, 2007, noted the certificate of congratulations and commendation it received from the House of Representatives of the State of Hawaii, USA, on the occasion of UP’s Centennial celebration.
Hawaii representatives, led by Speaker of the House Calvin K.Y. Say, signed the certificate which states that the UP has served as the premier institution of higher learning for the Philippines, producing outstanding graduates in a wide range of fields, and “has dedicated itself to nurturing and developing the next generation of leaders and visionaries, many of whom have proven to be invaluable not only in their own country, but around the world as well.” The House extends to UP its “warmest aloha and best wishes for success in all future endeavors.”
