Attendees from many walks of life flocked to the University of the Philippines Oblation Plaza and Academic Oval last December 14, 2018 to participate in and watch the annual UPD Lantern Parade.
The enormous, brightly colored floats and lamps depicted the year’s theme, “Paglaot, Pagdaong: UP Diliman Christmas Celebration 2018” as the university pays homage to its graduates, academics and personnel pursuing scholarly and advocacy works in the country.
UPD’s Christmas theme also celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Oblation statue’s transfer from the Manila campus to its new home in Diliman.
