BUKLOD is the first and only recognized student political organization in UP Los Baños that seeks to impart Integrity, Initiative, and Involvement to the students. More than a decade ago, Buklod-UPLB was established by a group of impassioned students whose desire is to uphold a student government that is anchored on its core values: integrity, excellence and servant leadership. At the same time, t
hey believed that to make a lasting impact, change has to start with ourselves. We first have to become what we desire to see in others. Thus, they initiated a brand of leadership that is rooted on integrity, initiative and involvement. Twelve years later, Buklod remains to deliver principled leadership through service and excellence to the Iskolars para sa Bayan. At the same time, it continues to make waves of change not just in the campus but also in the nation through various projects, advocacies and campaigns relevant to and for the welfare of the students and the Filipino people. Guided by the pillars of the organization: Integrity, Initiative and Involvement, everything about Buklod revolves around the "Three I's". INTEGRITY
