PUP

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is a major state university in the Philippines that has been actively involved in social movements, such as student-led protests against government corruption, and has also partnered with government agencies on initiatives like behavior modification programs for prisoners. PUP has recently faced challenges, including a veto of a bill that would have elevated it to National Polytechnic University status, due to concerns over its performance ratings. Despite this, the university continues to play a significant role in education and community engagement across the country.
