activity is part of the organization’s
community service.
Mrs. Matusalem, LES Principal,
warmheartedly accommodated the
organization. ERG’s executive
committee led the book donation.
Though the three plastic bags of books

for the kindness the organization has
extended. Moreover, Mrs. Matusalem
also suggested that the organization

the students.
The External Committee organized

activity for the first semester. It was
organized by the Internals Committee
headed by Carmelo Juan “Chuck”
Granados.
The Game
Five teams were formed consisting
(continued to page2)
of 5 members each. The teams will face
series of clues, and in order to proceed
to the next clue, they needed to com-
plete the prior task. The members of
the Internals Committee, who are wait-
ing at the stops all over UPLB, were as-
signed to hand down the clues to the
teams.
The Administration building is the
starting point of the game. The first
task is to go to and find the clue at the
Student Union Building. Then upon
arriving at S.U., their next clue aims to
test their physical skills and team work
since they were assigned to cross the
river. At the end of the river, they have
to get the next clue and go back to S.U.
by crossing the river again. Participating
teams were shocked but wholeheart-
edly and eagerly performed the task.
Some of them slipped, shouted, or even
freaked out in the process which made
it even more exciting.
The next stop was in CEAT. In there,
before getting the next clue their
strength needs to be tested by
lifting weights a hundred
times. The next stop
aimed to test their
intellectual ability
under time pres-
sure. The task
was the
around UPLB and try to find Chuck to
get their next clue. Then the next clue
was located at the famous Carabao
Park. Their task is to take pictures of
the several landmarks of the university.
This was somewhat a fun and easy task
since they have to take pictures with
other people like the guard and the
Ministop employee. After finishing the
task, the facilitator asked them to go to
Neospot computer shop to get their
next clue. Their task was to ask a
member of the team to get a new
haircut at Metrohair Salon and Spa.
This served as their pampering task
since they only sat
and relaxed

exhilarating game of Sudoku. Teams
will be given 3 sets of Sudoku puzzles
where they have to complete two out
of the three puzzles. Then they have to
go to the facilitators to have their an-
swers check. This was the stop where
almost all of the teams had big time
problems. Some did not have pens with
them; some didn’t even play the said
puzzle, while some really got their brain
cells run out from the last task of cross-
ing the river.
The teams spent a handful of time
thinking critically for the answers, but
they are definitely pleasing to watch in
action. Some of them even wanted to
give up, but when a team finished the
task, the game was on. The remaining
teams worked
double time to catch up. They even
decided to help each other out so that
they won’t waste anymore time.
The next task was the test for luck.
Teams had to go around the yield signs

…our oblation model, who was
popularly rumored to be Fernando Poe
Sr., is not who we think he is? According
to a book tribute to Guillermo
Tolentino, it was Caedo who served as
the model for the sculpture. Anastacio
T. Caedo, is the student apprentice of
Professor Guillermo E. Tolentino, the
person who made the oblation.
Caedo would later become a professor
of Fine Arts in the University and the
successor of the deceased Guillermo
Tolentino. Acquiring great skills and
talents from his guru, Professor Caedo
achieved great accomplishment not only
in the Philippines, but worldwide.
Although there is no guarantee that
this information is true, we as students
of the university must not be confused
nor be bothered of this fact. We should
focus on the meaning of the oblation as
the symbol of our nation and to the rea-
sons why it stands on our university
grounds. http://en.wikipedia.org

Did you know that…Did you know that… By Eunice Suministrado
College life is not that easy. Still, we
should be thankful for being here in UP,
while many don’t get the chance to
reach at least college or worse, to study.
During this time, there are many experi-
ences that we will encounter and for
sure, we will also never forget.
One major part of being a student is
striving for academic excellence. But I
also believe that there are many things
that we can learn outside our class-
rooms. It sounds very familiar but it is
TRUE. Yes, we can learn concepts and
theories but we can’t learn and experi-
ence to talk to corporate people, gov-
ernment officials, businessmen and pro-
fessionals, to conduct community ser-
vices, host events and many more inside
our classrooms. All of us will surely
encounter these things after we gradu-
ate.
Our life here at the university will
be full of ups and downs. I think I’ve
experienced enough of that. Repeating a
subject every semester, always taking
the final exams, waiting for your turn to
get your form 26 every registration are
just some of the things that we experi-
ence – well, not all. I remember my first
failed subject. I know in myself that
there’s no one to blame but myself. I
know that I should have passed it but I
didn’t. Others can pass it, so why can’t
I? I’m also a UP student and I’ve been
always proud of it ever since. I just put
in my mind that I must get through with
it already. Failing is a part of life. We
must take it as a lesson to motivate our-
selves to have control and change. I
know that all of us are aware of our en-
vironment in UPLB.
I realized that business establish-
ments have somewhat taken advantage
of us, students of UP. Take a look
around at Grove. Parties everywhere,
night outs, “inuman sessions”, com-
puter shops are always full are some
that are just around us students. Yes, we
can engage to these things but we must
not forget that we are still students and
we must learn to have control of our-
Generations...Generations...Generations...Generations... selves, much better if we avoid them.
