Alpha Sigma Phi Philippines, Inc. On September 29, 1959 at Mindanao Agricultural College (now Central Mindanao University) in Musuan, Bukidnon Province when a young man named Tomas R. Gavarra who just finished Associate in Agriculture in University of the Philippines – Los Baños felt the absence of a fraternity in the campus. He was exposed to the fraternity life back at UP where his elder brother and sister were both members of a fraternity and a sorority. In his first and second try, being inexperienced in fraternal organization, he failed to convince the students in his desire to form a fraternity. Being not easily discouraged, he again invited 35 other men to join him but this time asked Ramon Del Carmen, his acquaintance in UP and a member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi, to give orientation regarding fraternity college life. The students were finally convinced of the presentations of Ramon del Carmen and he ended up as their faculty advisor. The group named their organization is ASP (Agricultural Student of the Philippines). The sorority counterpart was also organized by Angel Rebecca Quiñones and named the sorority Sigma Mu Alpha.
