KASAMA sa UP Assembly in Baguio
I attended a Luzon-wide KASAMA sa UP (Kasapian ng mga Sangguniang Mag-aaral sa UP) Congress in Baguio this weekend. It was my first time in Baguio in more than five years. It was also my first time to attend a KASAMA sa UP assembly (though attendance was limited to representatives from the five UP units in Luzon; Diliman, Manila, Los Banos, Pampanga, Baguio). Interesting that I finally get to attend a KASAMA sa UP assembly when I’m no longer a member of the Mass Comm Student Council (which is a member of the alliance). I came as a representative of STAND-UP, with my colleague Che.
We left Manila late Friday night, after attending Hiyas ng Arki, a male cross-dress pageant (similar to Miss Eng’g) in the College of Architecture, where oddly, I was invited to be one of the judges. Anyway, we arrived in Baguio early morning of Saturday.
I’ll write about the rest of my thoughts and chronicles in another entry.
it’s funny cause i’m in baguio at least twice a year and i’ve never been to UP baguio
