When it was time to choose which university to go to, I didn’t really have much of a choice. My family’s finances considerably narrowed down my options to only two: a state university in the province or a state university in Metro Manila. I opted to pack my bags, leave my hometown, and build a life in the capital. It was a choice I’ve always been thankful for. much of what I know now, I learned in UP, both inside and outside the classroom.
But one thing I truly enjoyed about the university of the Philippines was the environment. The UP Diliman campus is a completely different world. every time the jeepney would make it past the welcome sign, I felt like we were driving into another dimension, away from the deafening noise and busy jolt of the city.
In this post, we’re looking at UP Diliman not as an academic institution but as a destination. My pal and UP batchmate Astrid and I return to the campus every year. even over a decade after graduation, we still find every check out enjoyable. If you’ve never been to UP before, here are some things that you can do!

UP lantern Parade and UP Fair
If your timing is right, you can witness two of the biggest festivals within the campus. Both the UP lantern Parade and the UP fair have long been embedded in the university culture but also attract swarms of visitors.
The UP lantern Parade happens in December, a week or two before Christmas. The university’s various colleges design and build a giant lantern and parade them along the academic Oval. during the presentation, which happens behind Quezon Hall, students also perform a quick number to showcase their lanterns.
On the other hand, the UP fair is an annual 5-day musical fest featuring local bands and performers. It is staged at the Sunken garden in February, but according to a Rappler report, in the 1970s, it took place in September as a sign of protest against Martial Law. aside from the music, there are also food stalls and a few rides and attractions that you can enjoy!
Street Food Trip
Street food is an integral part of UP life. reviews are powered by fishballs and siomai. Org meetings are fueled by kwek-kwek. Friendships are bound by isaw. I have a number of pals who normally refuse to eat street food but have no problem if it’s in UP, primarily because of the regular sanitation checks, something that is absent in most places outside.

Mang Larry’s Isaw is probably the most popular street food place in the campus. It has changed location through the years, but patrons followed it everywhere. It’s a simple food cart, recognizable by the long queue that snakes from it and the numerous automobiles parked around it. Isaw manok and isaw baboy are the most popular, but atay (liver), balunan (gizzard), and a few others are also available.
If street food isn’t your thing, you can find proper sit-down restaurants within the campus, too.
Maginhawa Food Crawl
Maginhawa Street, the main artery of UP village and Teacher’s Village, has gone a enormous transformation since our student days. Back then, it was relatively quiet, with only a handful of eateries and bars like Tomato Kick, Grill Queen, and Ababu. Today, Maginhawa has evolved into a bona fide foodie paradise, flanked with countless food stalls and restaurants.
Some of the must-try restaurants are CAUTION HOT! Spicy Noodle House, PINO Resto Bar, and FRIULI TRATTORIA. If you want a wider selection of dishes, step into STREAT: Maginhawa Food Park.
Photo Walk
Pe bune, revino-ti. For starters, the road (University Ave) leading to the entrance, where the Oblation statue welcomes you with arms wide open, is a sight to behold during graduation season because of the blooming sunflowers flanking it. The Oblation statue itself is a celebrity, always ready for photo ops.
The university academic Oval offers a delightful visual buffet, boasting the old buildings’ architecture and a refreshing acacia canopy. Did you know that Melchor Hall (College of Engineering) is Palma Hall’s (AS) mirror image? same goes for Benitez Hall (College of Education) and Malcolm Hall (College of Law). Furthermore, the university houses over 30 historical structures, monuments and works of arts.

Acad Oval Jog
Since the university is “photogenic”, it is but natural that it’s also an encouraging place to get fit and get back into shape. The whole campus ground is jogger-friendly and biker-friendly. The half side of the academic Oval’s road, for example, is closed to vehicles and is now solely for pedestrians and bikers’ use. The smell of grass and the sight of Acacia trees are so refreshing. I used to spot some celebrities jogging peacefully here.

Proiecții cinematografice cinematografice
Da. O citești corect. Universitatea din Filipine are propria sa casă de cinema, UP Cine Adarna, situată lângă Teatrul UP și U.P. Turnul Carillon. În afară de biletul de admitere mai ieftin, puteți avea, de asemenea, șansa de a surprinde proiecții de caracteristici greu de găsit și non-mainstream, chiar și scurtmetraje ale studenților. Up Cine Adarna este, de asemenea, un loc de alegere pentru exerciții de început, recitaluri și festivaluri de film, de obicei găzduite de organizații de film precum UP CINEASTES Studio și UP Cinema.
