What a successful University of the Philippines Centennial Celebration! The weather was so clear with lots of cheerful alumni from the different UP colleges and branches… UP Manila, UP Pampanga, UP Mindanao, UP Baguio, UP Visayas, and UP Los Banos. As planned, a huge motorcade met at the University Avenue in front of the Administration Building, Quezon Hall, UP Diliman. A century man from the College of Engineering, Mr. Fernando Javier headed the lighting of the torch. He was still very strong and able bodied! [Photos will be posted here soon].
A free concert at the Amphitheater was also attended by thousands of music lovers from all walks of life. Featured here were some of the internationally acclaimed UP Alumni like Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, Philippine Madrigal Singers, UP Concert Chorus, UP Peps Squad, UP Jazz Ensemble; and other participating singing groups and dancers from UP Los Banos, to name a few.
Right after the singing of the UP Naming Mahal, a grand centennial fireworks display was viewed by the people present during the night’s celebration. It was sponsored by the UP Beta Epsilon.
HAPPY 100th YEAR, UP!!!!!!!
