UP Centennial shirt

Today, the 18th of June, the University of the Philippines celebrate its 100th anniversary. I am wearing a t-shirt with the centennial logo in front. At the back of the shirt is the centennial theme, "UP: Excellence, Service & Leadersip in the Next 100 Years." UP has just been declared the country's National University, long overdue, so all the more to celebrate. I took my BSc and MSc (sans thesis) at UP Cebu, where I was also last employed before moving to the UK. Aside from buying this shirt, my other small contribution for the centennial are several textbooks for UP Cebu's Environmental Studies program. It is a great honour to be an "Iskolar ng Bayan"!
