Ang Pinalangga Ko Nga Peyups!

If Angelina Jolie thinks that a single journey to Cambodia changed her life, in my case it was a small check mark on a box. I’m talking about my UPCAT application when I randomly chose Iloilo as one of the UP campuses I wish to enroll.

And so I did. Spent four years living in a coastal town of Miag-ao – no family and the only Hiligaynon ( the local dialect) words I knew were piyak (the other side?), hibi (cry) and agi (gay). My college education not only gave me a degree in History that helped a lot in my career as a freelance writer but gave me friends and independence.

A trip to Miag-ao is one of my favorites because it means a trip to memory lane. Let me share our beautiful campus…this is just a peak though.

Yummy obli.haha!

Our Administration building sits on a man-made hill. Due to threats of landslides, it is half-abandoned with few offices being housed here..

Going up to our classrooms with comic memories on how tricycle  engines would stop along the slope. My son calls this “Dora’s spooky forest”. haha

UP in the Visayas is home to the famous College of Fisheries. Here is “Diwata ng Dagat” aka Obli’s lover. 🙂

College of Arts and Sciences..Tomas Fonacier Hall

“Hundred Steps”..I think it is still “closed” now. Earthquake precautions.

OMP’s..no need for words. haha!

My sister-in-law said my school resembles a lot like American universities. Harvard?! hehe

Our multipurpose soccer field. wink!

Ah..student life..

Iska’s finish line..thank God I did it within 4 years. haha

As I said, this is just a sneak peak. Our campus is the biggest in terms of land area so other campus sites means another blog post.

Madamo nga salamat!
