Dahil 100 Years Ka na UP!

I glimpsed this from Fria, and felt a compelling urge to answer. The four years I spent in undergrad as a true blue Iskolar ng Bayan were the best 4 years of my life.

Law school in UP is...interesting, for the most part. But in many ways UP Law is an entirely different animal.

So as a tribute to the good old days...

Maligayang ika-100 taon, mga Iskolar ng Bayan!
