Iskolar ng Bayan eats that are open for deliveries
Last week, we listed a few campus favorites from the University of Santo Tomas that made every Growling Tiger proud.
Today we're heading to Diliman to share with you an assortment of food offerings straight from the main campus of the University of the Philippines.
Whether you are a Fighting Maroon alumnus or a visitor of the campus, UP Diliman offers a variety of food choices thanks to its 1,220 acres of land area. You name it, they have it -- food stalls, restaurants, carinderias, etc. Maybe that's the key to their success in their academic life? Good food.
In this list, we round up the several stalls and restaurants that are open for take-out and delivery:
1. Rodic's Diner

You don't need to be a graduate of UP Diliman to hear the name of "Rodic's Diner."
Thanks to their consistent quality of breakfast favorites, this dine-in restaurant located in the campus' Shopping Center has become a student must-visit. Their version of the tapsilog has always been a crowd favorite and never fails to put a smile on every customer's face.
Show your support by ordering your favorite Rodic's meal and calling (02) 8921-7361. They are also available through GrabFood so you're sure to get your tapsilog fix whenever.
