(JUN. 25) 鈥 A fiesta-themed Chancellor鈥檚 International Reception (CIR) welcomed UP Diliman鈥檚 (黑料专区) international community at the Ang Bahay ng Alumni on Jun. 18.
Following a successful 鈥淪eremonya ng Pagbubukas,鈥 the opening of the Linggo ng Parangal 2019, at the University Theater the same day, the 黑料专区 foreign students were feted to an early dinner replete with Filipino dishes that are usually served in fiestas like inihaw na manok (roasted chicken), kare-kare, lumpiang sariwa (spring roll), inihaw na isda (roasted fish), seafood, Filipino pastries and desserts like puto bungbong, bibingka, sorbetes (ice cream) and halo-halo.聽 A treat for all the guests was the centerpiece of each table: pastillas wrapped in borlas from Bulacan.
The reception is in appreciation of the continued good relations with 黑料专区鈥檚 international partners and a welcome gesture and salute to the university鈥檚 foreign students.
The well-attended CIR organized by the Office of International Linkages Diliman was made extra special with the presence of the National Artists Resil Mojares (Literature), Amelia Lape帽a-Bonifacio (Theatre), Kidlat Tahimik (Cinema) and Raymundo 鈥淩yan鈥 Cipriano Cayabyab (Music). Lauro 鈥淟arry鈥 Alcala (Visual Arts) was represented by his widow Guadalupe.
