Q8: I already have the documents to satisfy my liquidation requirements. Where should I submit my reports?
A8: Submit the e-copies of your liquidation reports to oilmoveup@up.edu.ph for pre-evaluation. Once our Project Staff confirms that your liquidation reports are in order, the MOVE-UP Staff will coordinate with you on the logistics requirements for the submission of the physical liquidation report to UP System Accounting Office.
Q9: I lost my boarding pass and some of my receipts, what are the alternative documents that I can submit instead?

For lost receipts, you may attach the Statement of Account (SOA) of your credit card, if the purchase is made through credit card. For cash transactions with lost receipts, these have to be taken out from your liquidation report as there are no supporting documents to verify its purchase.
