    • Dear Mary Ann, This university lantern parade brings back memories when my fraternity participated in school parades like the Hay Ride. I remember the Carillon tower but the UP theater is not the same theater I saw when I was there (many moons ago). Thanks for sharing this beautiful Christmas album for your friends and fans to see. Regards, Ding

    • THE LANTERN PARADE is a colorful UP tradition that has enlivened the holiday season in the University for over 70 years now. It was first held in 1922 but it was only 12 years later that the celebration was formally established by UP President Jorge Bocobo as what it is now: the display of colorful floats, lanterns, and costumed performances. It has since become a spectacular venue for creative expression among the different members of the UP community. Mid-December marks UP Diliman's annual lantern parade, which traditionally signals the Christmas academic break. University units parade around the academic oval with their colorful and brightly lit lanterns of every size and shape, creating a festive atmosphere. Lanterns are paraded throughout the academic oval road which is closed off to motor vehicles. [Taken from http://newsletter.up.edu.ph/previous/2005jan07.htm]
