The University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) is a Game Changer Awardee of the 2022 Capacity Development Awards for Catalysts of Excellence (CapDev ACE) Accelerator Awards, spearheaded by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) – Local Government Academy. The Game Changer Award is a national level recognition of a completed program or project initiated by an institutional partner that has left a lasting impact on LGUs and has contributed to the achievement of the DILG program outcome areas.

Through the Auxiliary Services Office (ASO), UP Visayas was able to raise funds for a Christmas gift pack for 180 agency-hired personnel of the university (104 agency guards and 76 janitors). The gift packs contain a spaghetti pack, canton noodles, and candies. For years now they have been receiving 3-in-1 coffee through fund drives and the gift pack this year is a departure from the usual tradition.
