Stories of impact

How UPERDFI-funded projects change lives and communities.

“The professorial chair allowed me to pursue research on plastic waste monitoring in Philippine ports — work that directly informs national policy on marine plastic leakage.”
Prof. Maria Antonia Tanchuling Alejandro Melchor Professorial Chair, Institute of Civil Engineering
“Because of my scholarship, I could focus on my studies instead of worrying about tuition. I am the first engineer in my family.”
Scholarship Recipient BS Civil Engineering, UP Diliman
“The upgraded geotechnical laboratory means our students now train on the same equipment they will use in industry. That changes the quality of engineers we produce.”
Faculty Member Institute of Civil Engineering
“Our thesis support grant funded the prototype of a stair-navigating wheelchair — engineering that serves Filipinos with disabilities.”
Thesis Grant Recipient BS Mechanical Engineering
“Through the research grant, we developed water quality monitoring systems now deployed in aquaculture communities.”
Research Team UPERDFI-funded RDI Project
“Donating a professorial chair is the most direct way I know to keep world-class engineering teaching alive at UP.”
Alumni Donor UP College of Engineering Alumnus
