Student Organizations

The National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) is home to several student organizations and political formations. The League of NCPAG Organizations (LNO) serves as an independent body of united college organizations that shall commit to service, excellence, participation, and protection of students' rights and welfare through the embodiment of good governance principles. 

Publication Organization

NCPAG-Umalohokan is the official student-journal publication of the college. Formerly a student publication, Uma (as it is colloquially known) sees the strength of Public Administration students that lies in research and academic essays. Its name is derived from the town criers of the pre-colonial societies, in charge of distributing information about new rules and regulations passed by datus.

The need for an information platform where research papers, academic articles, and other outputs of our students are published and disseminated has became the motivation to reorganize Uma to what it is today. The organization is committed to making the journey of our Lingkod-Bayans holistic by contributing to their career opportunities through honing their skills in wide various ways.
