Prime Movers
The UP Circle of Landscape Architecture Students (UPCLAS),
based in the College of Architecture at the University
of the Philippines at Diliman, is the first organization
put up by undergraduates. Founded in TK, it has since
seen its members excel not only in the landscape architecture
profession, but in other fields such as website design,
construction, photography, and publishing as well.
Get acquainted with the incumbent officers and their

Chairperson
Full Name: Cathe Desiree S. Nadal
Nickname: Cathe (that’s a “K” with an “8”)
Student number: 2004-07740
Favorite Plant and why: Cassia Fistula… Why? Hmmm… maybe
because of its vibrant yellow flowers na parang naka-bouquet
pa. Diba cute? hehe...It was actually the first tree I
used in my design. Tama… favorite kasi memorable
siya.?
What was your
first choice?
First choice in my UPCAT form was my father’s choice.
The second was mine.
How did you end up in LA?
I landed with the second choice in my UPCAT form kasi. ‘Yon
ang napasa ko. My choice for a non-quota course is actually
LA.
What do you love about LA?
The people. Especially my deario blockmates na sobrang
supportive sa isa’t isa. Seriously, they made
the course fun despite the pressure of meeting deadlines
and drafting overnight. Nagtatawagan kami, nagkakantahan,
kumakaen kung saan-saan,o kaya nagkukulitan para lang
makapagpasa on time.
What's the importance of UPCLAS to the LA profession?
UPCLAS prepares you by letting you meet people who will
soon be your colleagues in the professional world.
With UPCLAS, you will love Landscape Architecture through
the different activities set by the organization. You
will actually learn how to value the environment before
you actually design for the environment. What's your mission/vision for the org?
I envision UPCLAS manifesting a synergy among its members
to bring out the best in each other especially in our
task of showing everyone the beauty of Landscape Architecture.
Our mission as UPCLAS? Maybe our mission will be our
full commitment as UPCLAS members to the college and
the community. Our mission will be concretized by our
participation in every project set by our members to
show each other our support for UPCLAS.
