UPAAGLA Gala to Recognize Alumni of Character & Service
The University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Greater Los Angeles, one of leading alumni chapters of UPAA, is hosting its 2023 Bi-annual Gala and Alumni Awards Night celebrating the best and the brightest of UP alumni with the theme “Onward and Upward to Excellence!” on March 18, 2023 at the beautiful Omni Los Angeles Hotel. Coming from a two-year hiatus with the pandemic, UPAAGLA is moving forward and continuing its mission of service to its alma mater by coming together and showing that we are resilient, adaptable, and ready to face the next chapter with optimism and hope. This formal event will feature attendees from all over Southern California and from the Philippines and will honor four members of our alumni family whose commitment to leadership and service was exemplified last year. It will surely be an evening to remember filled with camaraderie, dancing, feasting, and performances by talented alumni.
The evening will begin with a red carpet reception at 6:00 p.m. followed by the full program at 7:00 p.m. This year’s awards are for: Service Recognition Award; Leadership Recognition Award, Most Distinguished Alumnus Award; and Lifetime Distinguished Achievement Award.

UPAAGLA Announces Its Entertainment Line-Up for its GALA and Awards Night
The UPAAGLA Gala and Awards Night returns this year at the Omni Hotel on March 18, 2023. Sure to be an evening of entertainment, this year's Gala will be headlined by the multi-talented television actors and models Alexis and Jojo Riguerra. Alexis will also be joined by Gelo Francisco as the hosts for the evening. Attendees will enjoy dancing to live music from the Midnight Motion Band.
This year's Gala will raise money for the benefit of the UPAAGLA Endowment Fund that supports the projects and financial needs of the university, its students and the UP community. In 2022, UPAAGLA donated $2,000 pledged to the College of Engineering and raised almost $6,000.00 for Kaagapay to assist our financially challenged UP students.
