iAmUPHi is a non-stock non-profit association of UP High School alumni organized to help UPHSI meet the challenges of a limited budget and students’ financial and emotional needs. iAmUPHi has always recognized the need for uninterrupted education.

iAmUPHi’s and UP Alumni Association – Iloilo Chapter’s UP Fight Team turned-over three desktops and a computer printer to West Visayas State University Medical Center on November 7, 2020.
These gadgets came from UPHSI alumni and their friends’ donations through the iamUPHi “Fight for Frontliners” campaign. This campaign started in March 2020 when the region and the rest of the world battled with the Covid-19 pandemic. The efforts of the group continue up to now.
The UPV College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) distributed three additional laptops with WiFi connectivity to three CAS students at the UP High School in Iloilo AVR Room on November 9, 2020.
