Our Vision
P roj e c t He a d
What is it? Yugyugan sa UP Manila is a program targeting the distribution of emergency kits that students of the University of the Philippines Manila College of Arts and Sciences can use in the event of an earthquake. Moreover, the beneficiaries are expected to receive deliverables including: (1) Educational discussions/ Forums/Seminars; (2) Emergency kits (Flashlight); and (3) First-aid Kits. The Vague One advocates for Natural Disaster Management and Risk Reduction in preparation for the “Big” One, which is expected to destroy areas located in along the West Valley fault.

But why? In a dialogue with the College of Arts and Sciences Student Council Chairperson, it was determined that the current emergency plans for the college in the event of an earthquake needs to be developed and improved. Moreover, the results of a survey conducted by the group regarding the students’ awareness on disaster management and preparedness show that CAS students of UP Manila need more preparation and awareness of basic emergency routes and what-to-dos in the event a disastrous earthquake takes place. The Vague one believes that the matter is urgent, given that calamities cannot be predicted with 100% accuracy. In taking necessary steps, even by starting small, bigger damages to resources, infrastructures, and lives can be prevented with proper measures and ample preparation
The Kits will be distributed to CAS students. They will be receiving a pouch which will contain a flashlight, a small alcohol bottle, band-aids, dust masks, tissue packs, and a whistle. The Vague One believes that equipping these students materially will give space for more preparedness especially now that Gusaling Andres Bonifacio is becoming more vulnerable to such disasters.
Let’s talk! Aside from equipping them materially, the organization believes that knowledge is power. Providing a background on the necessity of the disaster preparedness and awareness is crucial in building the mindset of the youth in becoming full leaders and thinkers of the society. Thus, we aim to start small. By inviting speakers from the environment sector as well as from both government and non-government agencies, forums and educational discussions will be conducted to equip these students will information on earthquakes, disasters, and how to manage events and disasters like these.
