The Jeeptropha debuts at the Loyalty Day celebration

One of the highlights of yesterdays alumni homecoming and Loyalty Day celebrations was the Jeeptropha – the jeep running on 10% jatropha diesel mix produced by the UPLB Alternative Energy Program.

The Alternative Energy Program leads in the research for biofuels in response to the Biofuels Act of 2006.

Most of you are familiar with these vehicles moving around campus.

And I think this jeepney seems to be around since forever…

Now it’s running on biodiesel!

Jubillarians!

Some snapshots of the class jubillarians, from `57 onwards…

There was no one from Classes `47 and `52. The Golden Jubillarians were there, though and sang the song”UP Beloved”. The lyrics goes like

“Agriculture college dear, devoted sons we’ll always be

Unceasing inspiration do we always draw from thee…”

Each jubillarian got a medal… hhmmm… perhaps I should attend the next homecoming of my class so I can get my own!

Not so sure which class, but the way they danced, they must be from the 60s.

The Class of `72.

Class of 1997 and a future alumna

So shall we see each other in the next alumni homecoming? That would be in 2010 for me, and for Class of 1995.

Loyalty Day and Alumni Homecoming

I had the chance to see the foot parade at the Loyalty Day Celebration this morning. Despite being here in LB for so many years, it is actually my first time to watch most of the proceedings. The golden jubillarians were the Class of 1957, and they were inspiring to behold. Each jubillarians got a medal from the oldest to the youngest. Too bad though, that there were few representatives from the younger batches.

More pictures and features later…

Busy weekend at UPLB

The always much-awaited Los Baños Flower and Garden Show kicks-off this Friday, October at the Social Garden. On Saturday, UPLB officially launches the UP Centenial Celebration. And Sunday – it’s back to good ole’ UPLB for the 89th UPLB Loyalty Day and Alumni Homecoming.

See you!

Homecoming Weekend

whatsuplb — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 12:57:00 +0000

Saw this announcement at the gate welcoming alumni to the much-awaited Loyalty Day celebrations. Three major activities were lined up – a golf tournament by the UPLBAA, an alumni night and fun run (or was it a marathon?) for tomorrow morning. I would have wanted to join the alumni night at Baker Hall but I don’t know if any of my friends were coming. I will try the marathon tomorrow, but it starts at 4am! Aside from being to dark yet to go out, it might rain early morning. The past several days, it had been raining in the mornings. The kind of lazy-rain-that’s-good-to-snuggle-in-bed kind of rain. Well, I will try to get some pictures and post it here. Too bad there is no garden show.

I was a jubilarian last year – 10 years since graduating from UPLB. I met my blockmates plus some classmates. We were not able to attend any activities as we were busy catching up with each other. We had lunch at Bonito’s and while there, we saw some batchmates with their own barkadas so it was like a mini-reunion of the batch `91 people. Perhaps in our 15th year or maybe 20th, we’d be better organized.

Things to expect in the coming days:

1. I’ve compile a telephone directory of UPLB offices from the administration to dorms to colleges and will post it in another blog
2. Also, a directory of establishments around UPLB and telephone numbers
