Last December 15 the University of the Philippines- Diliman comunity celebrated their annual Christmas lanter parade to the theme of Pasundayag UP! Showing a display of culture and festivity among the different colleges and student organizations.

Watching the said parade had been a tradition for me sice I set foot at the university, and as fortunate as I could be, I always get to find a well suited corner for my musings and taking photos. This year however, there wasn't as much big of a crowd than there had been the past years- makes it easier to squeeze my way in, this could probably be because of the rain which not so cooperatively poured just an hour before the parade started, and the unlikely extension of final exams and requirement deadlines. Nevertheless, it was still an event to be fond of!

This, from the Vargas Museum, is on of my favorite floats, a mini concert on the one side and live painting on the other!

The College of Mass Communication's star which features a call for justice on journalists who have been victims of murder.

 The College of Engineering had people shouting of excitement for their growing sunflower gimmick!

 The sunflower was made of a ceiling fan! can you believe that?

 From my Home college! The college of Social Science and Philosophy bringing a well, philosophical lantern!

 This bird came all the way from the College of Fine Arts!

 Totally amazing! I can't imagine the time and effort they had put on these lanterns

 And my forever favorite! The UP Babaylan!

 

 Pasundayag UP!
