The UP-STPA is a university-recognized socio-academic student organization based in the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) of the University of the Philippines in Diliman. It was founded on the 26th of November 1988 by eighteen Public Administration students who were the first to enrol in the then-newly reinstituted Bachelor's Degree program which was abolished in 1968.

For the past fourteen years, the UP-STPA has dedicated itself to the service of the Filipino people through the utilization of Public Administration as an effective and systematic tool in providing a humanistic and nationalistic oriented public service that is accountable and credible. This dedication has led to the organization's recognition by the University of the Philippines as a two-time Gawad Chancellor Awardee for Best Student Organization in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Still, the UP-STPA's task of creating a much better Philippine society continues - it is a commitment that we will carry on to the future!

This is the UP Samahan Tungo sa Progresibong Administrasyon.
