The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences (DVCS), Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), and the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) hold spay and neuter programs throughout the year. This service, usually conducted in both the Los Baños, Laguna and Diliman, Quezon City Stations, caters to the residents of UP Los Baños, UP Diliman as well as their neighboring communities. The program enables the College to aid in the control of the animal population, especially stray dogs and cats. The CVM Faculty, students, and alumni actively participate in this worthwhile endeavor.

Pinagtibay at ipinatupad sa UP noong 1989 ang isang Patakaran Pangwika na nagtatakda na Filipino ang maging pangunahing midyum ng pagtuturo. Hindi lamang ito pagtalima sa mga probisyong pangwika sa Konstitusyon. Pagkilala rin ito na sariling wika ang higit na mabisang kasangkapan ng edukasyon, at ang edukasyon na ginagamitan ng wikang naiintindihan ng nakararami ay paghawan ng landas tungo sa katarungang panlipunan.

A one-day synthesis workshop was conducted toward the closing of the Technology Commercialization on Wheels (TCOW) project implemented by the College of Development Communication in partnership with the Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR).

The workshop, which was held on February 9, 2017 at the Drilon Hall of the SEARCA Building in UPLB campus, sought to gather information on good practices noted during the rollout of the project to pilot communities, identify rooms for improvement, and encourage stakeholders to reflect on lessons learned in order to enhance the implementation of similar activities in the future. Results of the workshop would serve as bases for identifying municipalities where the TCOW may be rolled out for its second phase.
