Grade 12 students of the UPIS Business and Entrepreneurship (B&E) Track are making the most out of their internship despite the pandemic by launching Take Off 2021, a month-long, space-themed online fair for the entire school’s community to enjoy.
Venture into space and have a close encounter with these three exciting new products and projects led by B&E Batch 2021:
Acres Harvest Quezon City
While others might say that flavorful snacks don’t belong to a healthy diet, Acres Harvest Quezon City would disagree.
Acres Harvest is a Bataan-based food shop that aims to provide organic options that are not only rich in flavor, but also rich in vitamins and minerals that make our body healthier and stronger.
With their wide range of products including veggie crisps, veggie coffee, honey, and a variety of fruit juices, one’s cravings will surely be satisfied without carrying the guilt that oily snacks bring. They also offer crunchy mushroom bites that are available in ten flavors ranging from the original’s classic taste to the chili garlic’s burst of spices.
The team of hardworking UPIS B&E students behind Acres Harvest Quezon City have made living a healthier lifestyle more accessible to residents within Metro Manila as they offer meet-ups and deliveries of their delicious, healthy treats to their customers around that area.

Wave Esports
Wave Esports takes UPIS’ gaming community to a whole new level by hosting Team Ace 2021, the first ever Valorant tournament for the school’s students, faculty, and alumni.
Their goal is to showcase the school’s skills in the esports scene while creating a fun experience for the UPIS community at home. They achieved this by spearheading an online competition of the game Valorant, a 5v5 tactical shooter game played on the computer.
Wave Esports officially kicked-off the competition with ten registered teams of five to six members ready to battle out for the grand prize of Php 2,500 and 1st runner up prize of Php 500.
After three 13-to-1 matches on the tournament’s first day last January 16, the teams First Round Exit (FRE), Blade Thomas and Friends (BTF), and Nighthawx prevailed and moved forward in the bracket.
The second day, January 17, paved the way for 2nt+1, FRE, and Nighthawx to triumph and advance to the semifinals with BTF.
Given all of the squad's exceptional team composition and aggressive strategies, heated matches are expected in the semifinals tonight featuring Nighthawx against 2nt+1 and BTF against FRE— a battle between two teams of alumni.
Shirts, a cap, a gaming mouse, and Acres Harvests’ mushroom bites are also part of the giveaway that Wave Esports is hosting for their active supporters until the finals on Sunday, January 24.
Their updates and livestream for tomorrow’s semifinals and next Sunday’s championships will be on their official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/UPISWaveEsports.
UPIS Lingkod
Now more than ever, many are being challenged to work together and lend a hand to others as much as they can. Luckily, UPIS Lingkod has made that more possible for the school with their debut project: Bangon.
UPIS Lingkod is a newly established charity organization which currently aims to provide financial assistance to UP Ikot Drivers through a public raffle event entitled Bangon where 90% of their earnings will be donated to the drivers and their families.
For only Php 50, anyone within Metro Manila may obtain raffle tickets and get a chance to win crafted goods and food such as plants, cakes, cookies, and more.
They are currently continuing to accept raffle ticket purchases and in-kind and cash donations until January 30 to add to the Pho 9,305 that they have earned as of January 16.
Raffle draws and live performances were held last January 15 and 17 featuring Leila Mañalac, Key, Keio Guzman, Aldrich Agad, and Sherina Moralejo.
More raffle draws and performances by talents Nicole Kimpo, Elkan Reyes, Nicole Panganiban, Charles Bucas, Millennium’s Finest, and Shane Garcia are to happen on January 29 and 30.

With the end of the online fair fast approaching, make sure to support UPIS B&E Batch 2021 as they take the entire UPIS community to an adventure that’s definitely out of this world. //by Magan Basilio
