With the shift to emergency remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UP High School Cebu Class 1988 and Class 1991 donated tablets to fourteen students to help them cope with the demands of online learning.

Class ‘88, through their Kaabag sa Pagtungha program, enabled the school to acquire 8 Huawei tablets.

Atty. Ian Manticajon, Class ‘91 representative, turned over six Cherry Mobile tablets. The donation was made possible through the UP High ’91 Initiatives program.

Five students from Grade 7, three from Grade 8, four from Grade 9, and one each from Grades 10 and 11 received the tablets. They were chosen based on a survey conducted by the school to determine who had the most need for gadget assistance.

The tablets were delivered to their respective households by the UP High School Cebu Gadget Committee composed of Mr. Sean Policarpio, Ms. Genevieve Pantollano, Mr. Niño Ybañez, Mr. Kenneth Gallardo, Prof. Jeraline Gumalal, and Dr. Aurelio Vilbar.
