Happy 100th Birthday, UP
I was at UP Diliman this afternoon, in the hours right smack in between the celebrations in the morning and the concert in the evening (at the Cultural Center of the Philippines).
That meant I wasn’t able to relish in any of the activities, unlike last January when I was happily clicking away with my camera during the Centennial kick-off celebration.
Still, it felt mightily good to be there in the Diliman Republic, strolling beneath the towering acacia trees and inhaling the crisp after-rain air. It felt good to be there on June 18, 2008, fanfare or no fanfare. It felt good to be there on the day the national university turns 100.
Cheers to the University of the Philippines!
