The UPAA-NL is raising € 20,000.00 for four server units and the structured cabling of the Main Library building to upgrade and enhance the capability of the University of the Philippines Library Systems in providing students, faculty members, staff of all university constituents and outside researchers the best possible access to information they need in support of instruction, research and extension.

Through the efforts of the UPAA-NL members and the generous support of benefactors the first server has been installed in June 2008. In October 2010, the instalment of the permanent structured cabling was fulfilled.

We, the UPAA-NL members, recognize that to a great extent we owe the successes in our respective chosen professions today to the excellent education and training we received from the University of the Philippines. It is our hope that future generations of UP alumni continue to benefit from the same. A permanent ongoing project is the sponsoring of an undergraduate scholar in any UP branch for a period of four (4) years. This will be implemented in close cooperation with the UP Office of Scholarship and Student Affairs.

Last September 2007, the UPAA-NL held “ Patikim” a fund-raising event which featured Philippine culture. The event, held in the residence of the Philippine Ambassador  to The Netherlands Romeo Arguelles, started with a piano concert of Adolovni Acosta. This was followed by a dinner featuring Philippine cuisine. Restaurateurs Romy Dorotan and Amy Besa took charge of the dinner. More than fifty guests were present.
