BISAYANG KUSGAN

It has been nearly 25 years since the founding of the Org sa mga BISAYANG KUSGAN.

Our organization’s humble roots from Butuanon students to its meteoric ascent encompassing ALL BISAYA SPEAKING UPLB student from Aparri to Jolo has been a amazement and a wonder to behold.

Our organization has been true to our goal as the “home away from home”, for our resident members and even for alumni who visit UPLB once in a while.

Our organization has been the embodiment of its namesake. Kaiban is a Butuanon word synonymous to Kauban in Bisaya which literally means Companion; Cohort; Escort; Buddy… and Friend.

Our BISAYA FAMILY has survived factions, turmoils, financial depressions, and has emerged stronger than ever before.

Until today, UPLB KAIBAN has never expired as an organization. Its continuous recruitment has provided stability to the future of the organization, ensuring perpetuity of the BISAYANG KUSGAN.

At present, the organization has dynamic members and is still fostering closer relationship and camaraderie, not only to their fellow Bisaya, but also to other students in the university and sponsoring activities which contribute to the betterment of the whole UPLB community.

Our organization has evolved. From our drunken tambayan days we have turned into an academically conscious organization with a sense of social purpose, supporting student activist movements, holding massively popular dance parties, upholding camaraderie through inter-organization sportsfests, among others.

But of course, the organization is still the same family that is fun to be with, and beer smashing, tambayan wrecking, wall vandalizing, street sign stealing, porno marathon, videoke contests are of course still here to stay.

UPLB Kaiban has changed, but then again, it really hasn’t.

MGA BISAYANG KUSGAN GYUD!
