Our Roots and Legacy
It was the year 1964 when UPCA Chemical Society was founded by Artemio Cartaño, Luisito Tolentino, and Dario Sabularse. After ten years of being organized, the name of the Society was autonomously changed to the UPLB Chemical Society.
The UPLB Chemical Society prioritizes academic excellence by actively fostering and promoting scholarly attitudes towards its members. Annually, the organization sponsors the CHEM 18.1 Interlab Quiz Contest during the 1st semester, and the Chemistry Quiz Contest during the second semester.
