For three years now, The Parliament: UPLB Debate Society takes pride in hosting the Luzon intervarsity (LIV), one of the largest intervarsity debate tournaments in the Philippines. Formerly the U.P. Intervarsity Debate League, a nationwide debate tournament among all institutions of the University of the Philippines in the British Parliamentary format, the league broadened its scope as it welcomed the whole of Luzon to its soil with the participation of Luzon-based institutions and composite teams across Asia.

Since its success in launching the 1st Luzon Intervarsity in 2009, the LIV has been continuously drawing a lot of participants from all over the Philip-pines and has been continuously surpassing expectations. In fact, the 3rd LIV accounted for 92 debate teams, 73 adjudicators, and more than 50 guests, which made LIV the largest intervarsity in the country yet.

On September 15-17, 2012, The Parliament: UPLB Debate Society will host the 4th Luzon Intervarsity as it continues its legacy in providing a competitive arena for Philippine debate institutions in preparation for the National Debate Championship.

On this note, we would like to seek the support of your company in ensur-ing that the whole debate experience will be worthwhile for the participants. We believe that your company’s support is vital in enabling us to better pro-mote critical engagement and social awareness among the youth. In return, we assure your company exclusive opportunities as well as the chance to strategically penetrate a consumer base that only Luzon IV can give.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Darwin

Dalmacio at (+63) 916 2385 949 or email us at luzonintervarsity@gmail.com. We look forward to partner with you in the 4th Luzon Intervarsity! Sincerely,

The Organization: Who We AreThe Parliament: UPLB Debate Society

is the official debate organization of the University of the Philippines Los Baños. It has been continuously pursuing excellence as the only debate organization in UPLB, at-taining exemplary accomplishments in various national and international debate tournaments inside and outside the coun-try. Its establishment in 2002 was a response to the call of social awareness among UPLB students and representation of the universi-ty it belongs to.

As a debate organization, it fosters the ideals of excellence, freedom of ex-pression, diversity, relativism, and honor. The organization trains its members to be competitive inside and outside the univer-sity. It continues to maintain its place in the debate community by participating and excelling in debate competitions both lo-cally and internationally like the Intramuros International Intervarsities, Ateneo Intervar-

sity, De La Salle Intervarsity, College of Saint Benilde Intervarsities, Manila Intervarsity, Xavier Cup, Malaysia Debate Open, Singa-pore Debate Open, and United Asian De-bating Championship.

The Parliament: UPLB Debate Society remains to be one of the country’s most awarded debate organizations. It is the only Luzon institution outside NCR that has reached the final 8 of the two official na-tional tournaments of the country namely, the National Debate Championship (NDC) and the Philippine Inter-Collegiate Debat-ing Championship (PIDC). The Parliament has recently bagged the championship of the two official debate cups of the nation-als namely, the 4th Union Cup and the 3rd Sinag Cup. Moreover, the organization has also reached the semifinals of the Asian Development Bank Youth Debates, where it ranked 3rd among the top 8 best debate institutions of the Philippines.
