About Us

PUP Manila Pre-Law Society

The PUP Pre-Law Society, a socio-civic and academic organization inside the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, was founded on August 4, 2021. The charter was then duly recognized as a sister organization of the UP Manila and UP Los Banos PLS on October 6 of the same year during its mandated bi-annual alignment meeting.

To set standards and promote its pro-people orientation, PUP-PLS is geared to produce members that shall embody the following principles:

Academic Excellence: PLS aims to produce exceptional level-headed members who embody excellence in various fields including their academics.
Social Awareness: PLS believes that in order to foster pro-people lawyers, we must ground ourselves with the community we are bound to serve. We must be able to understand and heed their concerns and marry these with our own aspirations.
Service: PLS recognizes that the Filipino people share the social role of emancipating society from violence and injustice. Thus, we urge our members to take an active role in serving those in the margins.

The pioneer set of its executive committee is currently occupied by the following members in their initiative to usher in the fresh start of the organization.
