The UP Social Sciences and Philosophy Productivity System (SSPPS), approved in the 1376th BOR meeting on 25 November 2022 and with approved revised guidelines in the 1397th BOR meeting on 27 February 2025, aims to address the imbalance in the recognition of scholarly achievements in the social sciences and philosophy. The SSPPS is anchored on the UP’s desire to create a more inclusive perspective of recognition for its scholars’ unique contributions in social development and nation building.
