Alpha Phi Omega is an international fraternity/sorority, with chapters in universities, colleges and campuses all over the Philippines and in the United States of America. You’re joining more than just a campus club. You’re joining a family, a brotherhood of young men and women committed to doing their part to help others and living lives guided by the principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service. Originally founded to be a way for all scouts to continue their service in college, APO has grown to accommodate students from every background who are interested in service.

Alpha Phi Omega is the single most representative undergraduate intercollegiate organization in the United States of America and in the Republic of the Philippines. We take pride in this and want to be even larger. We determine to be larger only because, if what we are and what we represent are important and useful to students, then we should share what we have in order to further our common goals more effectively. We want to share with colleges and universities all across this great land the benefits that Alpha Phi Omega gives to students, their campuses and their communities.

Mayor Jejomar Binay joined the UP Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity (Eta Chapter) in 1960. Guided by the APO principles of Leadership, Friendship and Service if he becomes vice president, "he would be both a populist (makamasa, madaling lapitan) and a decisive (tigasin) leader. Those two virtues might just be what the Philippines would need after several years of chaos and indecision"
