Welcome to University of the Philippines Geology Alumni Association

The teaching of geology at UP began in 1914 when service geology courses were offered for the Liberated Arts degree at the Padre Faura campus in Manila. In 1924, when Dr. Jose Ma. Feliciano returned from the US where he obtained a Ph. D. degree in Geology from the University of Chicago, the department of Geology and geography was organized. He was the first chairman of the department. He held this position until his demise in 1955.
