"DILIMAN lang ang UP!"

[eugenebegood]

Mas sang-ayon ako kung babawasan nalang ang UP ng campuses at gawing local/provincial universities yung iba.

Ang UP Diliman at UP Manila ay gawing iisa, at pangalanang, UP (without a campus location.)

Ang UPLB ay gawing UofLB, or University of Los Banos. Ang UPV ay gawing U of Iloilo or UI. Ang UP Mindanao ay gawing U of Davao, and so on.

wag namang ganun.. ang UP ay UP..wag lagyan ng of sa pangalan ng mga regional units..

[eugenebegood]

paumanhin; pero sa palagay ko mas magiging less bureaucratic ang UP at ang yung mga provincial campuses kung mahiwalay sa UP. Magkakaroon na ng competition ang UP Diliman dahil malakas din ang Los Banos at Visayas.

at isa pa, sa Pilipinas lang meron na ang national university ay merong maraming "branches".

walang branch ang U of Tokyo, Chulalongkorn, Seoul National, Oxford, Cambridge, National U of Singapore, U of Hong Kong, Peking U, Australian National U, U of Malaya, etc, etc...

^ Ay gets kita. Pero isipin mo nalang kung sa UPLB/UPB/whichever ka nakapasa. Medyo hurting yun kasi UP student ka dapat tapos ULB nalang? Edi UD nalang tayo? Your idea of merging UPM and UPD makes me think na iniisip mong superior ang dalawang campus na yun.

It doesn't mean that if it's the norm to have a single campus for a national U, we must conform.

I do agree with your first paragraph though. However, I find it saddening a Filipino's concept of unity. Man, the disunity we have as a nation permeates even to the UP. We aren't content just being a UP student. We discriminate when it comes to what college a person belongs or what course s/he's in. Pfft.

[ennanne]

Hindi ako naniniwala na ang Diliman lang ang UP. Each unit in the system has its own strength thus complementing one another like links of chain that strengthens the bond to achieve its goal. The flagship of education in the country.

[freddie_0000]

^ i have to agree with you. like Manila's strength is the medical sciences, LB's strength is biology, agriculture, etc. minsan talaga nakakainis ang ibang students na lahat na lang ginawan ng issue imbes na pagtuunan ng pansin ang individuality nila as a student, pilit ginagawang issue ang school nila ("UP & others" daw), course nila ("So what kung uno ka, engg ka ba?"), tapos pati campus nila (eto ngang pinag-uusapan natin hehehe)..
baka sumunod na maging issue eh kung sino mas magaling shiftees or non-shiftees
or kung ano ang mas mabilis, toki or ikot
and other silly topics

i'm from up diliman

[engineerban]

Hindi naman kailangan na icompare natin sarili natin sa national universities sa ibang bansa na may isang unit lang. Maganda rin na separate units para mas ma-manage pa each units.

However, we should not discriminate each other wherever campus we belong.

[gotta lick it]

Kahit mga sykolar ng bayan nagaaway at nagkakaingitan din. Estudyante pa lang yan. Paano na kung nagtatrabaho na ... pataasan ng hanggin.

[engineerban]

I'm from UPLB. Ang sakit naman noon kung hiwalay ang regional, lalo na yung UPLB. UPCA (now UPLB) is part of the early history and foundation of UP, and it continues to excel along with other UP units.

Based from my experience in LB, di naaapreciate ng iba kong classmates ang mga pinagkkwento ko about s gnda ng Diliman mainly because di pa nila nakikita ang Diliman. Ako, kilala ko ang Diliman kasi malapit din kami dun nakatira. So vice versa lang. Di pa nila alam ang significance ng bawat units kasi di pa sila nakakapunta dun.

[nVII]

^ +1 dito. kaya nga UP eh. ano bang mapapala mo kung paghihiwa-hiwalayin mo pa mga UP units?

[krdskrm]

Mga taga UP Diliman, proud lang sa sarili nila (euphemism for elitism, jk lang).

I'm from Diliman. Syempre kanya-kanyang specialties yan. Pare-pareho tayong magagaling. Basta dapat, manalo naman tayo kahit isang game sa UAAP Basketball. Kahit decent na record lang, kahit di champion. Hehe

[hatet]

UP is UP..i'm from uplb.. depende naman kase yan sa course na kukunin mo/gusto mo.. ako kase devcom talaga.. was planning nga sana to transfer sa diliman nung sophomore ako but i fell in love with elbi.. naks

taga UP ka ba ****?? lets assume OU. bakit ganyan utak mo?? kung iaanalyze ang suggestion mo, parang sinabi mo na din na mas angat UPD and UPM. .or if mali man analysis ko, and sasabihin mo na pantay lang tingin mo, eh di sana suggestion mo eh univ of diliman and univ of manila din tawag sa upd and upm.

nakakasura. .ang sabaw sabaw ng utak!

[engineerban]

Mahiwalay lang, nangayari kaya to sa ibang universities with different branches (Ateneo, La Salle, FEU)?

hehe, curious lang

[jakeyr]

I dont really know but when one refers to The Ateneo, i doubt if Naga, Zamboanga, or Cagayan de Oro would come to mind.

[one-shot]

Pansin ko lang...nung nagpapakilala na yung mga new hires sa office namin, ganito yung scenario..

Hi, I'm ___, a fresh grad from UP Baguio. tapos..
Hi, I'm ___, a fresh grad from UP Diliman. and so on..

I mean, maski yung mga nagpapakilalang graduates eh talagang naglalagay ng distinction on themselves din naman. Pero anyway, I think dun sa UP units na talagang mahirap nga naman makapasok, the students there deserve some credit.

Wala sa school yan, nasa estudyante yan = Wala sa campus unit yan, nasa estudyante yan

nuff said

(this is my first post in campus chat)

[luna_cyro16]

the reason people say which UP campus they're from is simply because there are a lot of UP campuses in the country. fellow UP alumni would want to know if they're from the same campus and/or if they have some connection, i.e common friends, took some class together.
