==History==

The legacy of UP TMS is founded by the THE CRUSADES, a circle of friends formed by Carl Trocio, Rommel Calimlim, and students from the university in 1995. After a while, Trocio and Marlon Castor, decided to have the group recognized by the college and the university. The Tourism Management Society was finally born on February 9, 1996 and recognized in July 1997. Its early members composed of Mel Panganiban, Dennis Lopez, Jake Hizon, Richard Ronquillo, Mitzi Canafranca, Carly Macabuhay, and PJ Ferrer. Trocio became the first president from 1996 to mid-1997. He was followed by Castor (2nd semester 1997) and Hizon (1998).

==The Institute==

The U.P. Asian Institute of Tourism is the premier institution of tourism education in the Philippines. It is the first school in Southeast Asia to offer a four-year degree program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Tourism.

Its mission is to upgrade the travel and tourism profession by providing high quality education and training to students who will be the industry's future managers, entrepreneurs and technical experts.

'''Objectives'''

The Institute performs the three basic functions of teaching, research and extension, fulfilling the following objectives:

* To develop entrepreneurs, managers and qualified staff for the tourism industry

* To assist in the development, growth and professionalization of tourism

* To provide a realistic instructional and research laboratory for tourism operations and management

* To provide a place for the conduct of professional and technical programs for the hospitality industry

Today, AIT remains in the forefront of tourism education and training in the country. As tourism becomes a global strategic agenda, it continues its leading functions and actively maintains its links with the various sectors of society.

== Academic Program ==
* Bachelor of Science (BS) in Tourism
The Bachelor of Science in Tourism is a four-year course that aims to develop entrepreneurs, managers and qualified personnel for the tourism industry. 

The program requires a student to take 47 courses equivalent to 150 units. Around 45 units are general education subjects (under the Revised General Education Program of the University) taken in service units of the University, such as the College of Arts and Letters, College of Social Science and Philosophy, and the College of Science. 

The remaining units are taken in the Institute and consist of 19 required tourism subjects; five tourism electives, six units of which could be for study of one foreign language; and internship of 360 hours. On average, this requires taking 18 units per semester over 4 years, excluding internship (with a credit of 5 units) during the summer of 3rd year. 

The subjects cover general management, accounting and finance, marketing and promotions, tourism laws, tourism planning and development, and courses that discuss the various facets of the tourism industry. 

A special feature of the program is the internship in any of the industrial sectors of tourism. Students are required to undergo 360 hours (equivalent to five course credits) of training in the summer prior to their senior year. By getting practical exposure in a sector of their choice, students can make informed decisions on their career options, which may be in the airline, hotel, resort, convention, travel agency, tour operations, national tourism organization, and allied fields.

== '''University of the Philippines Sunken Garden''' ==
Next to the Oblation, the Sunken Garden would be the best suited famous landmark/site of the University of the Philippines. It is in the heart of the 2.2 km. Academic Oval surrounded by acacia trees. It has been the most favorable place for the UP and non-UP communities for its wide and shady area present a place for a number of activities. The setting of the sun provides a perfect backdrop for the people who wanted to spend time in the Garden.

[[A. '''''Background''''']]
The General del Pilar Parade Grounds is the official name of the Sunken Garden, as it is popularly called. It is a five-hectare area of vast land—which is able to serve almost three football fields—and is the largest vacant land in the Diliman campus where various outdoor activities can be performed. It was basically, a basin and is believed to sink every year since it lies in a fault line. Because of the water spring that originates from it, the Sunken Garden used to be half-submerged in water.

[[B. '''''Surrounding Buildings''''']]
The UP Sunken Garden is surrounded by a number of buildings:
To its North lies the Malcolm Hall—College of Law
To its South lies the Benitez Hall—College of Education
To its East lies the Vinzons Hall (where one has an exact view of the Garden) and the College of Business Administration
To its West is the Gonzales Hall—University Library or Main Library

[[C. '''''Surrounding Artifacts''''']]
Aside from the buildings, the Sunken Garden is also circumferenced by artifacts like the following:
1. ''Beltran''
These are the benches that line the edges of the Sunken Garden. They give a more comfortable option for those who are not too fond of Indian-sitting/sitting on the grass. They were built in memory of the late and highly respected Luis Beltran. In fact, each bench bears the name of a colleague or a friend of him.
2. ''Acacia Trees''
The view of the Sunken would not be complete without the trees that encircle it. These were mainly Acacia trees where students and non-students stay under their shades for school work and other activities.
3. ''Grandstand''
Here in the Sunken lies the Grandstand that provides an overlook of the five-hectare expanse. The old Grandstand is a box-like structure that resembles to a torii—a gateway of a Shinto temple. It is a long open one that looked like a waiting shed. Architect Froilan Hong’s modification of the initial design transformed the box-like structure into a pyramid-design one with a red roofing and four-angled pegs. The new Grandstand accentuates the vast empty space of green grass.

[[D. '''''Events''''']]
1. ''Cadena de Amor Festival''
1950 CDA Festival
2. ''ROTC''
The General del Pilar Parade grounds is where ROTC Cadets undergo their Citizens Military Training or CMT. Every weekend, a large gathering of males stand and march in the field for hours. It is also the venue for the annual presentation of corps sponsors at the end of first semester.
3. ''Latagaw Cup''
Through the year, the Sunken becomes a venue for a lot of sport activities and festivals. One of which is the Latagaw Cup , a soccer event competed by various student organizations inside the University of the Philippines. Philippine indigenous games are also held here as part of the celebration of the UP Diliman Month during February. In summer, you will see Frisbee throwers, kite flyers with kites of different shapes and sizes all over the field.
4. ''UP Fair''

== '''University of the Philippines Sundial''' ==
The Sundial of the University of the Philippines Diliman is presently located along G. Apacible Street between the College of Engineering and the National Engineering Center. It served as the testament of loyalty of the alumni engineers to their Alma Mater.

[[A. Background]]
[[1. In the ''1920s'']]
The first sundial ever made by the alumni engineers of the University of the Philippines stood in the middle of the Manila campus on Taft Avenue in the 1920s. this was considered as the largest sundial built in the whole world at that time. It has steel arches and a gnomon 60 feet long. Unfortunately, to make way for the ROTC parade grounds, the first sundial in UP was torn down in the 1930s.
[[2. In ''1957'']]
In the span of almost two decades, engineers of the university built another sundial that was placed on the west lawn of Melchor Hall--College of the Engineering. Although the second one was smaller, it was still as impressive as the first structure. It was also made of steel standing on a concrete area. Its gnomon is shaped like a slide rule, making it as the symbol of mathematics. Sadly, a strong typhoon destructed it in 1968.
[[3. ''Present'']]
After the two destructions, the UP Alumni Engineers built another sturdier concrete sundial in 1972. It was installed and was presently between the Melchor Hall and the National Engineering Center Building. At the base of its gnomon is 1947 representing the foundation year of the Alumni Engineers.
