Para sa mga nakapasa sa UPCAT, here is something to think about:
Bulok ang facilities ng UP. Laging kulang ang pondo. Walang sistema ang burokrasya. Gunggong ang maraming opisyal. Laging may away. Bano sa UAAP basketball.
But UP always outranks other Philippine schools in different national and international reviews.
Yes, we are running on sheer brainpower. =)

UP, why are you making it hard for me to love/leave you? You really don’t wanna let me go. HAHAHA!

“ On the first day of class, a Literature professor had asked us to introduce ourselves to her by submitting a list of all the real books we had ever read in our 16-year lives. “Don’t tell me you were valedictorian, or an awardee this or awardee that,” she said rather crossly. “Don’t tell me you were editor-in-chief of your high school paper. Guess what—we all were. Now tell me the books you’ve read when nobody asked you to and I will judge how well-prepared you are for this class.

Nicely written! And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love my school.

UP People: God made you in such a way that when people of the world is sitting, you should be standing. And when the world is standing, you’ll stand out. And when the world stands out, you’ll be outstanding. And when the world dares to be outstanding, YOU’LL BE THE STANDARD!

Around 500 Acacia trees are planted along the famous Academic Oval in the University of the Philippines, Diliman. These trees have made the Academic Oval more than academic – they have turned it into a place of people and their memories. Hundreds of thousands of students have walked along these silent giants, hoping they wouldn’t be late, hoping they wouldn’t have class or hoping that maybe the next class would be special. Activists of differing social economic backgrounds have walked and marched around this area, screaming for what they believe in, shaded by these trees that are adorned with ribbons of which ever group. Families of different sizes have flocked to the Sunken Garden, picnicking on Sunday afternoons under these massive structures. Generations of children have been making their first steps, and have been playing with their friends and have been getting their kites stuck in the overlapping branches of these trees. Lovers of all ages have met time and time again, watching the sunset with their hands intertwined, similar to the roots of these old, old trees. These trees are not just trees - they’re symbols. In the same way, the people who have been around these trees are not just people – they’re communities.

A UP professor demanded a 10-page essay about “courage”. The following meeting, everyone submitted their laboriously done essays. Yet, for someone clever enough:
page 1: First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name
page 2: *blank*
page 3: *blank*
page 4: *blank*
page 5: *blank*
page 6: *blank*
page 7: *blank*

Ms. Eng'g Q&A (Ms. ARISE)
Host: Kung ikaw ay nasa isang fairy tale, paano mo gusto maligtas ng Prince Charming mo?
Ms. ARISE (Jimson): Ililigtas ng Prince Charming ko? Paano nga ba. Sa totoo lang, sobrang daming paraan para maligtas ako ng Prince Charming ko. Gusto ko lang masigurado, uhm, na para talaga kami sa isa't isa. Tipong ililigtas niya ako tapos pagkatapos iiwan niya rin pala ako. Ang gusto ko kahit natapilok lang ako tapos iniligtas niya ako sa pagkatapilok pero sya na talaga 'yung para sa akin.
