The 2016 general alumni homecoming of the University of the Philippines (UP) will be held on June 25 starting at 3 p.m. at Ang Bahay ng Alumni in UP Diliman in Quezon City.
Leading the homecoming are the jubilarians—Diamond (Class of 1956), Golden (1966), Ruby (1976), and Silver (1991). The reunion is held yearly under the auspices of the UP Alumni Association (UPAA).
In line with tradition, the homecoming will likewise honor the Distinguished Alumni awardees, UP graduates who have made outstanding achievements in their careers while serving their communities and society in general. Heading the list are Dr. David M. Consunji and Ms. Amina Rasul-Bernardo.
The jubilarian classes will go onstage with their respective cultural presentations for the entertainment of the homecoming participants—to demonstrate that they, especially the more elderly alumni, still have “what it takes. ”
Entertainers include highly talented UP alumni, topbilled by Gerphil Flores, 2013 “Asia’s Got Talent” first runner-up, and the UP Street Dance team, UAAP Street Dance Competition Season 78 champions.
A ticket to the 2016 UP Alumni Homecoming is priced at P1,500.00 and entitles the holder to dinner, a complimentary copy of the 2016 UP General Alumni Homecoming Yearbook and raffle prizes. Tickets are available at the UPAA Secretariat, 2nd Floor, Ang Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman, Quezon City; telephone nos. 9206868 and 9206871; mobile 0917-8372098.
