The University of the Philippines Student Association of Valuers of Energy Resources (UP SAVER) is a socio-academic group that gears towards academic excellence and balances social activities of its members with its service for the society. Back in March 29, 1995, a group of 30 young aspiring electrical engineers founded the organization. The group exists in pursuit of the following objectives: to organize activities that shall enhance the knowledge and interest of members and non-members alike in energy conservation and non-conventional energy resources, to provide a pool of concerned individuals which people may turn to for assistance in the solution of energy consumption problems and to ensure the personal and interpersonal development of its members through meaningful activities.

Being university-wide, UP SAVER is home to a healthy mix of multi-talented individuals. They too, regularly participate in several campus activities that also endorse camaraderie among different organizations in UP society and other sectors outside the academe. Annual activities include the Poster Making Contest (a competition launched last 2000 with the aim of enhancing the drawing skills of high school students and their ability to promote the conservation of energy an the use of renewable energy resources), Command and Conquer (now on its 5th year, which is the most anticipated game held every Engineering week) and some income generating projects. Power Patrol Movement, an academic project that informs elementary students about the efficient utilization of our country’s energy resources, is also included as a deed of the organization.
