UPAA Presents Willie Nep In "Comic Relief" For UP Super typhoon Victims

The UPAA is sponsoring comedian Willie Nepomuceno in “COMIC RELIEF: It’s more fund in the Philippines” on December 14, 2013, Saturday, 8:00 PM, at the Music Museum in Greenhills, San Juan City. The show is for the benefit of UP students, faculty and staff deprived of facilities and resources by Super Typhoon Yolanda, specifically those in the devastated UPV Tacloban College and UPM School of Health Sciences in Palo, Leyte.

With funds generated from the project, the UPAA hopes to help enable many of the severely afflicted students to continue their schooling in the Leyte campuses, or other UP campuses, and thus pursue careers that will empower them to contribute to the advancement of their region and the country.
