'Iskolar Ng Bayan' finds reason to celebrate
It is one rare occasion. It is a gathering of all Iskolar Ng Bayan. It is the UP Alumni and Faculty Homecoming at 6:30 pm on July 29, 2006 at the Iloilo Grand Hotel.
The UP in the Visayas celebrates the 59th Anniversary of UP Presence in Iloilo from July 26-29 with the theme, "Tomorrow Begins Today: UP Visayas in UP's New Century." To highlight the affair, the UP Alumni Association in partnership with the UPV Office of Alumni Affairs calls on UP Alumni to interact with fellow alumni, chat with UPV officials and members of the faculty, sing and dance with the Philippine National Police (PNP) Band, and enjoy the comedy entertainment with Joy Viado and watch the live presentation of our alumni jubilarians during this year's homecoming.
For the first time, the Iskolar Ng Bayan will have a chance to see the UP alumni representing the regional alumni chapters in Capiz, Antique, Aklan, and Negros showcase their talents. The alumni chosen to be this year's Most Distinguished Lifetime Award and the Outstanding Alumni Professional Award will be honored during this event.
The UPAA Iloilo hopes to celebrate the occasion with fun and surprises. Lots of door prizes await every Iskolar Ng Bayan who will attend the occasion.
