The Vanguard Tradition

DUTY. HONOR. COUNTRY.

Forged in the tradition of the University of the Philippines’ ROTC program and the founding of the Vanguard Fraternity, the U.P. Vanguard embodies a legacy of honor, leadership, and service. Since its founding, it has had a long fruitful history of partnership in nation building, contributing both to the national and University cause.

Guided by the shibboleths of DUTY well-performed, HONOR untarnished, and COUNTRY above self, Vanguards remain bound to their brethren and Alma Mater, committed to leading future generations with the steadfast spirit of the UP Corps of Cadets.
