For the first time in history, the University of the Philippines-Diliman (UPD) held the first ever virtual General Commencement Exercises due to the ongoing pandemic crisis. The university recognized 28 summa cum laude graduates.

Hosted by the Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts, the second installment of the UP Diliman Kanlungan Talk Series examined the situation of theater artists and students in the Philippines.

Artists and cultural workers were invited to discuss the impact of the pandemic on the arts and culture sector, and what it has taught them as Filipino artists living in a politically disheveled country like the Philippines.

For the opening program of the annual week-long ceremony, Chancellor Michael L. Tan reported his administration’s accomplishments to the UP Diliman Community. This was his last administration report as the chancellor of UP Diliman.
