The heart of UPLB N.G. is its people: with the ever-growing organization, the members show more diversity with their characters. Camaraderie is built through building connections with one another. The differences of each member has all the more created a sense of unity. Residents and non-residents alike, the members take pride in their brods and sisses and have helped each other into making the organization a more progressive one.
Vitruvian Man
Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man", which depicts a naked human figure, symbolizes the purity and the spirit of the organization.
The ability of the organization to meet its challenging environment impartially and unflinchingly is symbolized by its level and straightforward gaze. The outstretched legs and arms depicts its reaching out to grasp and accept the realities of our environment.
Above all, it represents man's willingness to search, comprehend, and master his environment which is the goal of ABE and the organization.
History
The League of Agricultural Engineering Students was established in the year 1975, during the time of martial law. With the lack active organizations for this course, No Good (NG) was formed.
The term 'No Good' was adapted from the remarks and comments of the advisers on their exams. When their answers weren't up to their standards, they would mark the papers with a "no good", which implores that the students still have room for improvement and can do better next time.
