The University of the Philippines marked Linggo ng Unibersidad with a week of tributes, performances, and ceremonies celebrating the people and principles that continue to shape its legacy. From the opening flag-raising to the culminating Gawad Pangulo, the UP community—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and leaders across the UP System—came together in a collective affirmation of public service.🌾 Watch event highlights here: tinyurl.com/LinggoNgUnibersidad2025In his keynote address, UP President Angelo A. Jimenez reflected on this year’s theme, “Ani at Alay: Paglilingkod at Pasidungog sa Bayan”—a cycle of learning, labor, and offering. “Ani is the harvest of hard work, persistence, and sacrifice. Alay is the offering we make of our talents, our learning, and our lives in the service of the Filipino people.”As UP celebrates 117 years of honor and excellence, Linggo ng Unibersidad becomes more than a commemoration—it is a renewed call to serve with purpose, humility, and imagination.Produced by the UP Media and Public Relations Office (MPRO)#LinggoNgUnibersidad #AniAtAlay #HonorExcellenceService ...
