History
Founded in 1968, the UP Broadcasting Association is the brainchild of Kitchie Benedicto and Maria Montelibano in the College of Mass Communication. During the tumultuous 70's, at the height of Martial Law, the Assers, as members of the organization are called, staged Dulaang Kapiterya, a series of plays fearlessly satirizing the political conditions of the times. They used the Mass Communication canteen as their theater.
The 80's ushered in the trend of concerts, parties, and fashion shows. Broad Ass was among the pioneers in the fusion of such concepts into one major event. During the 90's, Broad Ass began producing music videos. It was also during this decade that the Assers hosted the eagerly-awaited dating games during the UP Fair.
In 2010, Broad Ass renewed its branding, and shifted from staging performances to creating videos as a student production house. Aside from training its members in event production, graphic design, finance and marketing, the organization also places emphasis in inculcating members with skills aligned with video production. These include proficiency in all stages of production, from conceptualization and script writing, to color grading and video editing.
Today, Broad Ass continually lives up to the demands of competence and creativity, and tightly embraces its tenets of passion, excellence and glory.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“History, as an entirety, could only exist in the eyes of an observer outside it and outside the world. History only exists, in the final analysis, for God.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
