New UPVI Chapter launched!
It is with great pleasure that we announce the formation and ratification of our newest UPVI chapter. The International Chapter has been given the nod by our UPVI Chairman Dr. Richie Ragaza ’77, National Commander Vgd. Guido Delgado ’79, Chairman Emeritus Atty. Gilbert “GBee” Reyes ’79 and the Board of Governors last May 5, 2020.
The UP Vanguard International Chapter (UPVIC) would like to invite all overseas brods to be part of this new endeavor.
The VIC’s broad mission is two-fold:
- to support, promote and encourage all goals and objectives of the UPVI, and
- to help and aid in the development of the Motherland. We enjoin all interested brods to check out the VIC’s By Laws to see if its objectives aligns with their aspirations for the brotherhood.
The VIC has streamlined its participation qualifications into three easy to follow requirements, namely:
- overseas residence
- good standing with UPVI
- $1 membership in the UPVIC.
At present the UP VIC has the following pioneering members:
- Marcelino Lizaso
- Roberto Garcia
- Paeng Rodriguez
- Vic Sevilla
- Ryan Lantin
