UP Diliman lights up for Christmas with ‘Pag-iilaw 2022’

The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman held its traditional “Pag-iilaw 2022” to usher in the Christmas season with a colorful display of lights and music-filled night, according to Raffy Tima’s “24 Oras” report on Friday.

With the theme “Bagong Tahak, Bagong Galak,” this year’s lighting ceremony symbolizes the triumphs amid the challenges faced in the past two years during COVID-19 pandemic.

The lighting ceremony featured the plant “katakataka” or wonder plant, which may be found on the stone pedestal holding the Oblation.

It symbolizes the resilience of the UP Diliman community amid all challenges.

Areas in the university including the Quezon Hall, Oblation, and Academic Oval were filled with lights which can be enjoyed by the visitors inside the campus.—Richa Noriega/LDF, GMA Integrated News
