Since then, the organization has accomplished several milestones such as becoming a founding member of the Biology Majors Association of the Philippines (BMAP), organizing the annual Philippine Biology Olympiad, and growing its community by establishing the Ateneo BOx for the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School.
