Student Publication
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.
