Universitas subscriptions now available

UA&P alumni may now subscribe to Universitas, the official magazine of UA&P. Subscriptions are free for those with mailing addresses in the Philippines. But for those who reside abroad, paid subscriptions are available, which will cover the cost of postage. Only 200 slots are available, so hurry and subscribe through the form on this page.

If you availed of the Universitas promo which we announced sometime ago, you need to sign up for the subscription to get the rest of the year's issues for free. You may opt to change your mailing address as well to any address in the Philippines. But, to be fair, you will no longer receive the Universitas issues covered by the promo (July and November 2009 issues).
