Up Tangway

UP Tangway is a duly recognized organization composed of UP Diliman students most of which hail from Bataan. It has endured 29 years of good and bad times, and has been growing, both in number and accomplishments. Through the years, UP Tangway has changed a lot, but its commitment in serving the province of Bataan and its people, especially the youth, never ceases. Its activities that target academic excellence, camaraderie and assistance to Bataeños continue, and will continue. And its lessons and memories will be passed on from the old generation to the next.[HISTORY] December 10, 1985 marked a big chance in the lives of University of the Philippines Diliman students who are from Bataan. The willingness to serve and promote academic excellence, discipline and social awareness became the common ground for these young people. Under the advisory of Mr. Reil Cruz, an instructor at the Asian Institute of Tourism, on the second semester of that school year, UP Tangway became an official organization of students from Bataan in UP. Bataan is a land form termed as tangway or peninsula. It is a landmass surrounded by bodies of water which unlike an island has a corner connected to another landmass. And so the organization was named Tangway. Through the years, UP Tangway has its share of dilemmas – financial, political, social, personal – but for 27 years, Tangway’s tradition of service and excellence, famous most in Bataan, never ceases.
