September 21 is declared as the “UP Day of Remembrance” by virtue of Proclamation No. 1, series of 2018, signed by then University of the Philippines President Danilo L. Concepcion on September 17, 2018.
The Day commemorates UP’s continuous resistance to martial law and the preservation of heroic memory and legacy of the UP community. It also highlights the importance of academic freedom, civil liberties, and human rights in Philippine society.
Learn more about the UP Day of Remembrance here.
For UP Day of Remembrance 2024, UP Diliman hung banners around the Academic Oval to look back on and learn more about the events and experiences leading to the declaration of Martial Law until the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986, which marked the restoration of democracy in our country and the end of the Marcos regime.
The mural Kalahating Siglo ng Daluyong (2022) by Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) was also displayed at the 1st Floor Lobby, Palma Hall from September 16-20, 2024.

In 2023, the UP President Angelo A. Jimenez, through the UP President’s Committee on Culture and Arts (PCCA), enjoined the UP community to participate in a “noise-making event through symbolic forms of dissent that demonstrate the refusal to be silenced.”
For UP Day of Remembrance 2023, UP Diliman hung banners that read “September 21. We will never forget.” along the University Avenue.
Noong 21 Setyembre 2022, ginunita ang ika-50 anibersaryo ng pagsasailalim ng Pilipinas sa Batas Militar ng rehimeng Marcos. Ang pagbabalik-tanaw sa madilim na yugto ng ating kasaysayan ay lubhang kinakailangan sa kasalukuyan dahil na rin sa mga banta sa kalayaan, lalo na sa prinsipyo ng academic freedom.

Across its sprawling campus, the University of the Philippines Diliman has various kinds of cultural facilities. Cultural facilities are historically and culturally significant spaces in the University that are used for artistic and cultural activities. There are indoor spaces, such as museums and galleries, as well as auditoriums, theaters, and cinemas. There are also open spaces that have been activated as venues for exhibits, performances, trainings, workshops, rallies, parades, and other artistic and cultural activities.
These spaces serve as platforms for cultivating artists and scholars in the fields of dance, literature, music, sciences, sports, theater, and visual arts, and have borne witness to the development of some of the country’s renowned talents and minds. To this day, these cultural facilities continue to act as sites of dynamic learning and generative exchanges, allowing the University community to develop and sustain local and international linkages in the interest of enriching humanistic knowledge and practice.
The auditoriums, cinemas, and theaters in the University are used for concerts, theatrical plays, film screenings, conferences, seminars, and other events. These are venues where students, organizations, and academic units innovate, collaborate, and engage the public with explorative and socially relevant activities and programs.
The University takes pride in its extensive collection of cultural and natural heritage housed in its museums and galleries under the stewardship of various units and institutions. Beyond safekeeping, these places invite the public to engage in educational conversations, present creative and research work, and train students in collecting and caring for objects and specimens.
The University’s sports facilities serve as the training grounds for the UP Fighting Maroons and as ‘classrooms’ for Physical Education classes. These are spaces for honing athletic skills as well as building a sense of camaraderie between teammates, league members and spectators within and outside the UP community.
The campus also has multi-purpose spaces that are historically and culturally significant to members of the UP community and the country. These were, and continue to be, sites where protest, the performance of traditions, and important discourses of the day take place, demonstrating the University’s commitment to uphold honor, excellence, service, compassion, and freedom for its constituents and the community beyond.
The University library system is composed of unit libraries that provide resources and spaces for learning for students, faculty, staff, and visiting scholars. As the main repository of print, analog, and digital resources of the University, the Library system safeguards and protects the UP community’s institutional and cultural memory.
