In UP, we are taught to be critical and to question everything. 

We do not just accept life as already it is. 

We scrutinize the system and examine how it affects humanity. 

We do not conform to what only society imposes on us. 

We argue for theories, perspectives, ideologies, practices, approaches, discoveries, beliefs, and faith while maintaining the respect that we have for each other.

We welcome diversity.  

We are free.

We do not bend our knees to fascists.

We are not blind followers. 

We do not tolerate the status quo. 

We take sides. We take the sides of the oppressed, and not of the oppressors. 

We are progressive and radical.

We see history from below, not only history from above. 

We are not always satisfied but would always work smart and hard to seek for truth, then question it again, and again. 

These are the primary reasons why #UPNamingMahal is always the target of those on the throne of power.  

Honor and Excellence. 

Malaya. 

Mapagpalaya. 

Mulat.
