The UP Alumni Engineers (UPAE) held another successful celebration of its homecoming on the evening of June 12, 2009 at the Bahay Alumni. The highlight of the evening was the awarding of the 35 Most Outstanding Alumni, to add to the five which have already been awarded. In simple rites last December, the following Alumni Engineers were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Engineering profession: Fortunato dela Pena, Fiorello Estuar, Felipe F. Cruz, Jesus Vergara and David M. Consunji. In 2010, there will be a total of 100 Alumni Engineers who will be given the special distinction of being one of the best 100 Alumni Engineers.
The UPAE Presidential Award was given to Dr. Benito M. Pacheco, the first and current Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering and the President of the UPAE in 2008.
The Classes of 1949, 1959, 1969 and 1984 were honored as this year's Diamond, Golden, Ruby and Silver Jubilarians respectively. The Ruby Jubilarians had a heartfelt rendition of the songs of their times accompanied by a live band.
