UP Speech Communication was founded by Kenneth Jose Bajar, with the help of his batchmates, during the school year of 2000. It was officially recognized by the College of Arts and Letters and the university the year after that and has been one of the most active organizations of the college ever since.

UP SPECA’s main objective is to amplify the significance and power of speech communication using the unified mobilization of its majors towards a better academe and community. In the spirit of pure camaraderie, the members of the organization has helped each other not only cope with the challenges of being students; they have also worked hand in hand to boost each other up in order to make for a good and honorable organization—one that will live up to the dreams of each devoted member. And also more importantly, UP SPECA has endeavored to be an organization that will uplift the legacy of knowledge and responsibility that holds each and every Iskolar ng Bayan bound to the University of the Philippines.
