U.P. SAMASKOM, (Samahan ng Mga Mag-aaral sa Komunikasyon) a university-based organization in the University of the Philippines founded in 1974, is composed of diversely talented students who have what it takes to rise above the others.

Going beyond the norms of society, we express ourselves freely, morphing from being a nobody to becoming a somebody. Bringing out the best in everyone, we look past inhibitions and sexuality. We accept, we understand, we relate. We share a brotherhood and sisterhood of genuine camaraderie, sticking together through life’s happiness and sorrow. Our bond lasts a lifetime, even if we have taken our own paths in life. Through the years, we have blossomed and expanded our horizons to every corner of the world. From the freezing waters of the Antarctic, throughout the Americas and Europe, all over Asia and to the blazing hot land of Africa and the Middle East. We are everywhere. We always we find a way to connect and reach out to where we came from. Once a SAMASKOMER always a SAMASKOMER, a cliché we all live by. SAMASKOM resident members and alumni never forget, we remember and take with us our organization, wherever we are. What makes us last forever?

Our love for the organization. SAMASKOM has given us so much more than what we expected. It has given us a chance to discover who we really are. What we can do, what we can achieve, what we can give, what we really are. It made us realize the essence of life. Being our own self. We learned how to respect individuals from all walks of life, thus discovering ourselves along the way and extending it to others. SAMASKOM, our pride, our passion, our roots, our legacy, the spirit lives on.
