The University of the Philippines Press (or the U.P. Press) is the official publishing house for all constituent units of the U.P. system and is the first university press in the country,[2] established on March 16, 1965.[1]

The UP Press is mandated to encourage, publish, and disseminate scholarly, creative, and scientific works that represent distinct contributions to knowledge in various academic disciplines, which commercial publishers would not ordinarily undertake to publish. Its main office is located at the University of the Philippines Diliman. The press is currently headed by poet, critic and literary scholar J. Neil Garcia.
