UP Lagoon and the Academic Oval

==The Academic Oval==

----
[[Image:bike_lane.jpg|left|thumb|Bike Lane]]

[[Image:acado.jpg|right|thumb|Academic Oval in the 1950's]]

The University's academic highway, the Academic Oval covers a distance of 2.2 kilometers. The Oval starts at Quezon Hall, goes full circle towards the different colleges and units, and ends at Plaridel Hall.

The sylvan Academic Oval in the heart of a bustling city is a sight to behold, appreciated most especially by those who frequent the campus.

The Academic Oval, with a perimeter of 2.2 kilometers, is the elliptical campus road maked by the various academic and administrative buildings composed of Quezon Hall, Vargas Museum, Faculty Center, Palma Hall, Gonzales Hall, Benitez Hall, Vinzons Hall, College of Business Administration building, School of Economics building, Malcolm Hall, National Engineering Center building, Melchor Hall, the University Theatre and Abelardo Hall.

The Oval is made legendary by acacia trees, 164 as of the latest count that form a lush canopy around it. The acacia trees are as old as the Diliman campus itself, immediately upon transferring from Pade Faura, President Bienvenido Ma. Sioco Gonzales directed the planting of the acacia trees, to transform the campus from a field of cogon to a forest of trees. The man responsible for this beautification was Professor Jose Vera Santos.

Through the years, the oval has stood as a silent witness to the various marches of students, faculty and staff, in exercise of their cherished freedom of oppression. It is also a convenient route for the Lantern Parade during the Christmas season. Back in the past, the hayride traversed the Oval to cap the Arbor Day celebration.

Another University landmark that can be seen at the Academic Oval are the ikot jeepneys. The ikot, which made its campus appearance in 1955. passes by the oval as if goes around campus to ferry passengers. today, the ikot has its counterpart, the toki, which as the name implies, plies the counter route.

The Oval is the staging place for many art events. In 1998, pedestrians hold the chance to view art installations of the fine arts students making us of 24 of the acacia trees. The site-specific work, aptly titles, Punong-puno ng Sining, dressed up the trees to represent the eight art forms of painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, literature, film, music and theater.

[[Image:Acad_oval.jpg|right|thumb|A bike lane near Melchor Hall]]

In 1979, trafic lights were installed for a more orderly traffic along the Oval. To keep the campus as a haven for nature lovers, the Oval goes car-less on weekends, from 6 in the morning until 10 in the evening. The scheme enables joggers, bikers and families to enjoy the Oval and its surroundings free from the noise and the smoke pollutants belched out by the motorized vehicles.

The Alumni Walk was launched in U.P.’s centennial year in 2008. A project of the UPD administration under then Chancellor Sergio S. Cao, the project sought to transform the inner sidewalk of the Academic Oval into a tile-paved footpath with commemorative slabs bearing UPD alumni-donors’ names, and whose donations went to the UPD Faculty Development Fund. On March 2008, however, the Academic Oval was turned into one-way in order to lessen traffic volume entering the university. According to then Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Cynthia Grace Gregorio, the policy also promotes lessening air pollution by creating biking lanes on the inner side of the circle.

'''UPD Centennial Projects'''

The UPD Centennial Projects Committee has prepared eight major projects to mark UP’s 100th year. Chaired by UPD Chancellor Sergio Cao, the committee’s plans do not only highlight the campus’ natural and physical resources. More importantly, they commemorate the university’s wealth of culture and talent.

The project called “Luntiang Lagusan” will showcase UPD as environmentally friendly and ecologically sound with a view to promoting “campus civility”. On the forefront of this project is the improvement of street lighting and sidewalks along University Avenue to encourage walking and interaction among individuals. The plan also includes revitalizing the University Flower Seal and planting flora in the triangular area at the junction of the University and Commonwealth Avenues.

'''Inside the Academic Oval'''

'''''Main Library'''''

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications. The Main Library is situated in the heart of the Academic Oval.

[[Image:mainlib.jpg|left|thumb|Main Library in the 1950's]]
Gonzalez Hall was named after the University’s sixth President, Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1943, 1945-1951). The Main Library is completes the six pioneering buildings of the campus, and is actually the first to be built as UP transferred from Padre Faura, Manila to Diliman in 1949. The five other buildings are namely Benitez Hall (College of Education), Palma Hall (College of Social Sciences and Philosophy), Malcolm Hall (College of Law), Melchor Hall (College of Engineering) and Quezon Hall (Administration Building). These buildings share and portray modern architectural designs, and also serve as landmarks of the University’s early beginnings, being part of its colorful history for the past one hundred years.

'''''Beta Way'''''

When the university moved in Diliman in 1949, the area was a spot in an adobe jungle. Except for the law and education buildings which were built just before the hostilities of WWII, the habitations consisted of Quonset huts left by the US Army which had bivouacked in the area. Soon permanent buildings were constructed around the Diliman quadrangle: the administration, library, engineering, liberal arts and some dormitories. Liberal Arts (Palma Hall) and engineering (Melchor Hall) buildings are mirror images across the once marshy expanse which engineering students wished had a short cut access to and from. For as always, engineering students had many liberal arts courses in the lower years of their curricula which they had to enroll in liberal arts: math, chem, physics, humanities, etc.

It took the enterprising spirit of a Betan, to blaze a passable gravel path across the mud and muck. That was in the first semester of 1953. The pathway was not straight for it had to seek the narrowest width of the water channel that drained the little valley that ran westward from the library building. Besides, there was the fifth hole of the U.P. Golf course right by the middle of the quadrangle.

The "tentative" pathway, however, served its purpose, saving precious minutes to negotiate the long way from the third floor of the engineering building to the physics pavilion of Palma Hall. With the temporary gravel paving of the path being eroded during heavy downpours, the Betans made it a chore to repair the "Beta Way" during the work day on August 19 (a Quezon City holiday) each year.

First day of the summer term 1961, April 11, the Betans staked out of the centerline of the structure and right away started to work on the subgrade.By the end of summer, not only short stretches on both sides of the creek and the culvert were yet to be done. The five-feet diameter concrete cylindrical pieces were gotten from a concrete pipe making outfit whose yard was seen from a the third floor offices of the DCCD Engineering at the Everlast building along Quezon Avenue. With the culvert installed, the project was finished in October except the last red-colored paving block on the arts & sciences end. It was more than 26 years since the inauguration of the Beta Way. Year after year, the Betans have been maintaining and making repairs of the pavements. The structure has been of great utility to the constituents of the University.

The original concrete-paved Beta Way was 240 meters long: 1.57 meters wide. The total number of concrete hollow blocks for the inside borders, 1180; number of solid paving blocks, 3510. The total money spent, P2,042,90. Labor was free. When the parking lot was constructed in front of Palma Hall, ~e length of the Beta Way was shortened, so the above statistics do not hold. This lane however has been of great utility all these years.

Some trivias:

- There is a total of 16 humps along the oval.
- The lamp posts around the oval light up at 6 p.m.
- The western end of the oval is Kilometer 14
- The eastern end of the oval is Kilometer 15

==The Lagoon==

----

[[Image:UP Lagoon - Fille.jpg|200px|thumb|some vegetation at the UP Lagoon - photo by Erika Fille (www.flickr.com/photos/erikafille)]]

A lagoon is a body of shallow sea water or brackish water separated from the sea by an island or coral. Lagoons are usually shallow, that is, not very deep. A small area of fresh water separated from a bigger lake or a river by sand is also a lagoon. Such lagoons are a pleasure to swim in.

'''The UP Lagoon'''

More inward from the Quezon Hall is the UP Lagoon, the only body, no matter how small, of water on campus. The lagoon dissects a vast expanse of land where several glades can be found. The area thus serves as a botanical reserve planted to narra, banaba, kapok, mahogany, royal, rubber, acacia and mango trees, and bamboo, among others. Time was when flocks of sheep and other wild life would graze the area lending it a most pastoral scene on a lazy afternoon on campus.

The lagoon itself is more than a meter deep. It is home to mudfish, catfish, tilapia, and a number of ducks that keeps on dwindling through the years.

The UP Lagoon looked differently decades ago. In the early 1950's, it was just a canal surrounded by tall grasses. Students never dared to go there for fear of snake bites. In the early 1970's the administration started to design plans to develop the lagoon. Concrete steps toward the beautification of the UP Lagoon, however, were not taken until the early 1990's.

'''Beta Epsilon Theatrum'''

Aside from the forest glades that adorn the area, the UP Lagoon is now landscaped with decorative plants complete with benches, tables, wooden bridges, and paved pathways with street lamps. The presence of the Beta Theatrum (courtesy of the Beta Epsilon Fraternity) in the area makes it an ideal activity center for cultural endeavors such as concerts and variety shows throughout the year.

The Theatrum is Beta Epsilon's gift to the University on its Diamond Jubilee in 1983 during the term of MEB Renan Pineda BE 80. The architectural design was done by Dean Geronimo V. Manahan, BE 57, and the structural by Betan Engineers at DMCI.

A ground breaking was held on August 27, 1983, with Chancellor E. G. Tabujara, Dean of Student Affairs Luis Beltran, Roni Manahan, Prof. I.I. Ilio, alumni and residents pitching in. Inauguration of the stage was on December 8, 1984. A capsule containing pertinent date about the frat and the structure was buried with the cornerstone.
[[Image:Lagoon1.JPG|200px|thumb|UP Lagoon at Present (2012)]]]
The main stage is situated by the water's edge. Across the lagoon is the audience area to be landscaped with rising steps towards Osmena Avenue. The first function to utilize this outdoor theater stage was the Poetry Reading of the works of Brod Dom I. It has also been used afterwards by the President's Cultural Committee.

[[Image:UP_Lagoon_ca_1950s.jpg|200px|thumb|left|UP Lagoon circa 1950s. Photo from [http://twitter.com/#!/regiesy/status/167249766210732034/photo/1 @regiesy on Twitter]]]

'''Tres Marias Plaza'''

Connecting the Amphitheater and the UP Lagoon is the Charter Donor's Garden with a sculpture perched atop a high pedestal at the center. With out propensity to call people or places alternative names, the garden has acquired a nickname on account of the sculptural work:'' Tres Marias Plaza''. Entitled Three Women Sewing the First Philippine Flag, the polychrome work is by Napoleon Veloso Abueva.

Napoleon Abueva is a Filipino artist. He is a sculptor given the distinction as the Philippines' National Artist for sculture. He is also entitledas the "Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture". He is the only Boholano given the distinction as National Artist of the Philippines in the field of Visual Arts. His works have been executed using almost all kinds of materials, including hard wood like molave, acacia, langka wood, ipil, kamagong, palm wood and bamboo, adobe, metal, stainless steel, cement, marble, bronze, iron, alabaster, coral and brass. He even combines different materials, like wood with metal and stone. He graduated from the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts in 1953 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture. He was mentored by Guillermo Tolentino, the first National Artist for sculpture and creator of the UP Oblation.
[[Image:Tresmarias.JPG|200px|thumb|left|Tres Marias statue found in between the lagoon and amphitheater.]]]

<blockquote>
Several of his public art can also be found at UP Diliman: 
-1957: Crucifix with two corpora, at the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice 
-1962: University Gateway (also UP Gates) 
-1967: Tribute to Higher Education, at the entrance of University Avenue 
-1979: The Spirit of Business, in front of the College of Business Administration 
-1992: Diwata, at the Faculty Center 
-1996: Alma Mater, at the lobby of Ang Bahay ng Alumni 
-1996: Three Women Sewing the First Philippine Flag, also known as Tres Marias Plaza, at the UP Donors' Garden, as part of the centennial celebration of the 1986 Philippine Revolution 
</blockquote>

The open area, picturesque landscape and airy atmosphere of the Amphitheater and the UP Lagoon combined make them a perfect place for picnics, dates, parties and even aerobics especially during the weekends. For nature lovers, however, the place is simply an oasis essential to contemplation and daydreaming.

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications. The Main Library is situated in the heart of the Academic Oval.

[[Image:mainlib.jpg|left|thumb|Main Library in the 1950's]]
Gonzalez Hall was named after the University’s sixth President, Bienvenido M. Gonzalez (1939-1943, 1945-1951). The Main Library is completes the six pioneering buildings of the campus, and is actually the first to be built as UP transferred from Padre Faura, Manila to Diliman in 1949. The five other buildings are namely Benitez Hall (College of Education), Palma Hall (College of Social Sciences and Philosophy), Malcolm Hall (College of Law), Melchor Hall (College of Engineering) and Quezon Hall (Administration Building). These buildings share and portray modern architectural designs, and also serve as landmarks of the University’s early beginnings, being part of its colorful history for the past one hundred years.

'''''Beta Way'''''

When the university moved in Diliman in 1949, the area was a spot in an adobe jungle. Except for the law and education buildings which were built just before the hostilities of WWII, the habitations consisted of Quonset huts left by the US Army which had bivouacked in the area. Soon permanent buildings were constructed around the Diliman quadrangle: the administration, library, engineering, liberal arts and some dormitories. Liberal Arts (Palma Hall) and engineering (Melchor Hall) buildings are mirror images across the once marshy expanse which engineering students wished had a short cut access to and from. For as always, engineering students had many liberal arts courses in the lower years of their curricula which they had to enroll in liberal arts: math, chem, physics, humanities, etc.

It took the enterprising spirit of a Betan, to blaze a passable gravel path across the mud and muck. That was in the first semester of 1953. The pathway was not straight for it had to seek the narrowest width of the water channel that drained the little valley that ran westward from the library building. Besides, there was the fifth hole of the U.P. Golf course right by the middle of the quadrangle.

The "tentative" pathway, however, served its purpose, saving precious minutes to negotiate the long way from the third floor of the engineering building to the physics pavilion of Palma Hall. With the temporary gravel paving of the path being eroded during heavy downpours, the Betans made it a chore to repair the "Beta Way" during the work day on August 19 (a Quezon City holiday) each year.

First day of the summer term 1961, April 11, the Betans staked out of the centerline of the structure and right away started to work on the subgrade.By the end of summer, not only short stretches on both sides of the creek and the culvert were yet to be done. The five-feet diameter concrete cylindrical pieces were gotten from a concrete pipe making outfit whose yard was seen from a the third floor offices of the DCCD Engineering at the Everlast building along Quezon Avenue. With the culvert installed, the project was finished in October except the last red-colored paving block on the arts & sciences end. It was more than 26 years since the inauguration of the Beta Way. Year after year, the Betans have been maintaining and making repairs of the pavements. The structure has been of great utility to the constituents of the University.

The original concrete-paved Beta Way was 240 meters long: 1.57 meters wide. The total number of concrete hollow blocks for the inside borders, 1180; number of solid paving blocks, 3510. The total money spent, P2,042,90. Labor was free. When the parking lot was constructed in front of Palma Hall, ~e length of the Beta Way was shortened, so the above statistics do not hold. This lane however has been of great utility all these years.

Some trivias:

- There is a total of 16 humps along the oval.
- The lamp posts around the oval light up at 6 p.m.
- The western end of the oval is Kilometer 14
- The eastern end of the oval is Kilometer 15

==The Lagoon==

----

[[Image:UP Lagoon - Fille.jpg|200px|thumb|some vegetation at the UP Lagoon - photo by Erika Fille (www.flickr.com/photos/erikafille)]]

A lagoon is a body of shallow sea water or brackish water separated from the sea by an island or coral. Lagoons are usually shallow, that is, not very deep. A small area of fresh water separated from a bigger lake or a river by sand is also a lagoon. Such lagoons are a pleasure to swim in.

'''The UP Lagoon'''

More inward from the Quezon Hall is the UP Lagoon, the only body, no matter how small, of water on campus. The lagoon dissects a vast expanse of land where several glades can be found. The area thus serves as a botanical reserve planted to narra, banaba, kapok, mahogany, royal, rubber, acacia and mango trees, and bamboo, among others. Time was when flocks of sheep and other wild life would graze the area lending it a most pastoral scene on a lazy afternoon on campus.

The lagoon itself is more than a meter deep. It is home to mudfish, catfish, tilapia, and a number of ducks that keeps on dwindling through the years.

The UP Lagoon looked differently decades ago. In the early 1950's, it was just a canal surrounded by tall grasses. Students never dared to go there for fear of snake bites. In the early 1970's the administration started to design plans to develop the lagoon. Concrete steps toward the beautification of the UP Lagoon, however, were not taken until the early 1990's.

'''Beta Epsilon Theatrum'''

Aside from the forest glades that adorn the area, the UP Lagoon is now landscaped with decorative plants complete with benches, tables, wooden bridges, and paved pathways with street lamps. The presence of the Beta Theatrum (courtesy of the Beta Epsilon Fraternity) in the area makes it an ideal activity center for cultural endeavors such as concerts and variety shows throughout the year.

The Theatrum is Beta Epsilon's gift to the University on its Diamond Jubilee in 1983 during the term of MEB Renan Pineda BE 80. The architectural design was done by Dean Geronimo V. Manahan, BE 57, and the structural by Betan Engineers at DMCI.

A ground breaking was held on August 27, 1983, with Chancellor E. G. Tabujara, Dean of Student Affairs Luis Beltran, Roni Manahan, Prof. I.I. Ilio, alumni and residents pitching in. Inauguration of the stage was on December 8, 1984. A capsule containing pertinent date about the frat and the structure was buried with the cornerstone.
[[Image:Lagoon1.JPG|200px|thumb|UP Lagoon at Present (2012)]]]
The main stage is situated by the water's edge. Across the lagoon is the audience area to be landscaped with rising steps towards Osmena Avenue. The first function to utilize this outdoor theater stage was the Poetry Reading of the works of Brod Dom I. It has also been used afterwards by the President's Cultural Committee.

'''Tres Marias Plaza'''

Connecting the Amphitheater and the UP Lagoon is the Charter Donor's Garden with a sculpture perched atop a high pedestal at the center. With out propensity to call people or places alternative names, the garden has acquired a nickname on account of the sculptural work:'' Tres Marias Plaza''. Entitled Three Women Sewing the First Philippine Flag, the polychrome work is by Napoleon Veloso Abueva.
[[Image:Tresmarias.JPG|200px|thumb|left|Tres Marias statue found in between the lagoon and amphitheater.]]]

Napoleon Abueva is a Filipino artist. He is a sculptor given the distinction as the Philippines' National Artist for sculture. He is also entitledas the "Father of Modern Philippine Sculpture". He is the only Boholano given the distinction as National Artist of the Philippines in the field of Visual Arts. His works have been executed using almost all kinds of materials, including hard wood like molave, acacia, langka wood, ipil, kamagong, palm wood and bamboo, adobe, metal, stainless steel, cement, marble, bronze, iron, alabaster, coral and brass. He even combines different materials, like wood with metal and stone. He graduated from the University of the Philippines School of Fine Arts in 1953 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture. He was mentored by Guillermo Tolentino, the first National Artist for sculpture and creator of the UP Oblation.

<blockquote>
Several of his public art can also be found at UP Diliman: 
-1957: Crucifix with two corpora, at the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice 
-1962: University Gateway (also UP Gates) 
-1967: Tribute to Higher Education, at the entrance of University Avenue 
-1979: The Spirit of Business, in front of the College of Business Administration 
-1992: Diwata, at the Faculty Center 
-1996: Alma Mater, at the lobby of Ang Bahay ng Alumni 
-1996: Three Women Sewing the First Philippine Flag, also known as Tres Marias Plaza, at the UP Donors' Garden, as part of the centennial celebration of the 1986 Philippine Revolution 
</blockquote>

The open area, picturesque landscape and airy atmosphere of the Amphitheater and the UP Lagoon combined make them a perfect place for picnics, dates, parties and even aerobics especially during the weekends. For nature lovers, however, the place is simply an oasis essential to contemplation and daydreaming.

==The Academic Oval==

----
[[Image:bike_lane.jpg|left|thumb|Bike Lane]]

[[Image:acado.jpg|right|thumb|Academic Oval in the 1950's]]

The University's academic highway, the Academic Oval covers a distance of 2.2 kilometers. The Oval starts at Quezon Hall, goes full circle towards the different colleges and units, and ends at Plaridel Hall.

The sylvan Academic Oval in the heart of a bustling city is a sight to behold, appreciated most especially by those who frequent the campus.

The Academic Oval, with a perimeter of 2.2 kilometers, is the elliptical campus road maked by the various academic and administrative buildings composed of Quezon Hall, Vargas Museum, Faculty Center, Palma Hall, Gonzales Hall, Benitez Hall, Vinzons Hall, College of Business Administration building, School of Economics building, Malcolm Hall, National Engineering Center building, Melchor Hall, the University Theatre and Abelardo Hall.

The Oval is made legendary by acacia trees, 164 as of the latest count that form a lush canopy around it. The acacia trees are as old as the Diliman campus itself, immediately upon transferring from Pade Faura, President Bienvenido Ma. Sioco Gonzales directed the planting of the acacia trees, to transform the campus from a field of cogon to a forest of trees. The man responsible for this beautification was Professor Jose Vera Santos.

Through the years, the oval has stood as a silent witness to the various marches of students, faculty and staff, in exercise of their cherished freedom of oppression. It is also a convenient route for the Lantern Parade during the Christmas season. Back in the past, the hayride traversed the Oval to cap the Arbor Day celebration.

Another University landmark that can be seen at the Academic Oval are the ikot jeepneys. The ikot, which made its campus appearance in 1955. passes by the oval as if goes around campus to ferry passengers. today, the ikot has its counterpart, the toki, which as the name implies, plies the counter route.

The Oval is the staging place for many art events. In 1998, pedestrians hold the chance to view art installations of the fine arts students making us of 24 of the acacia trees. The site-specific work, aptly titles, Punong-puno ng Sining, dressed up the trees to represent the eight art forms of painting, sculpture, architecture, dance, literature, film, music and theater.

[[Image:Acad_oval.jpg|right|thumb|A bike lane near Melchor Hall]]

In 1979, trafic lights were installed for a more orderly traffic along the Oval. To keep the campus as a haven for nature lovers, the Oval goes car-less on weekends, from 6 in the morning until 10 in the evening. The scheme enables joggers, bikers and families to enjoy the Oval and its surroundings free from the noise and the smoke pollutants belched out by the motorized vehicles.

The Alumni Walk was launched in U.P.’s centennial year in 2008. A project of the UPD administration under then Chancellor Sergio S. Cao, the project sought to transform the inner sidewalk of the Academic Oval into a tile-paved footpath with commemorative slabs bearing UPD alumni-donors’ names, and whose donations went to the UPD Faculty Development Fund. On March 2008, however, the Academic Oval was turned into one-way in order to lessen traffic volume entering the university. According to then Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Cynthia Grace Gregorio, the policy also promotes lessening air pollution by creating biking lanes on the inner side of the circle.

'''UPD Centennial Projects'''

The UPD Centennial Projects Committee has prepared eight major projects to mark UP’s 100th year. Chaired by UPD Chancellor Sergio Cao, the committee’s plans do not only highlight the campus’ natural and physical resources. More importantly, they commemorate the university’s wealth of culture and talent.

The project called “Luntiang Lagusan” will showcase UPD as environmentally friendly and ecologically sound with a view to promoting “campus civility”. On the forefront of this project is the improvement of street lighting and sidewalks along University Avenue to encourage walking and interaction among individuals. The plan also includes revitalizing the University Flower Seal and planting flora in the triangular area at the junction of the University and Commonwealth Avenues.

'''''Main Library'''''

The Main Library, which is the seat of library administration, is situated at Gonzalez Hall in the middle of the academic oval. It is organized into three major divisions which covers the various functional sections: (a) Technical Services Division which formulates and adopts standard acquisition, cataloging and indexing policies and procedures; (b) Administrative Services which provides support to the functional sections/units of the Library; and, (c) User Education and Services Division which lends books and provides reference, research and bibliographic services; maintains and preserve books, documents and archival materials; undertakes user education programs; and maintains computerized database applications.

==Mission==

The primary missions of the UPDP are to maintain peace and order, secure and protect lives and property, enforce basic laws, applicable Quezon City Ordinances and University Rules and Regulations including policies and standards; and to perform such other functions relative to the general safety and security of students, employees and residents in the U.P. Diliman Campus.

These mission are translated into the following: implementation of crime preventive measures; apprehensions, investigation and prosecution of violators of laws, ordinances and regulations; direction and control of foot vehicular traffic; the suppression of fire and other hazards; the protection of U.P. property against the encroachment of squatters; and the implementation of orders/directives/instructions emanating from the Office of the University President and/or from the U.P Diliman Chancellor.

==Short and Long Term Roles Responsibilities and Vision==
[[Image:Police.JPG|200px|thumb]]
*The UPDP personnel must be required to undergo rigorous special training different from the program of instructions adopted by the PNP. The training must give more emphasis on such subjects as human relations, human psychology, community relations and life-saving techniques. Unarmed self-defense and firearms proficiency should also be given emphasis.
*Upgrading of police equipment is necessary. Police vehicles which had been used for over five (5) years must be replaced with new ones. This includes modernizing the U.P. Fire Brigade.
*Installation of security devices like automatic alarm systems in academic buildings and offices should be gradually adopted. Maintenance cost for security will be cheaper in the long run than complete reliance on security guards alone.
*Modernizing the U.P. Diliman in terms of personnel and equipment would redound to the best interests of the University community.
*Beefing up the police strength from the present complement of sixty seven (67) to one hundred sixty (160) officers and men would be most ideal to this fast developing academe. It should be kept in mind that the mission of the University to educate the youth shall be achieved only through an atmosphere of complete peace, order and tranquility.

==Services to the Public==

*Issuance of Police Clearance;
*Assistance in filing of complaints;

The University of the Philippines Press is the official publishing house for all constituent units of the UP system, and is the first university press in the country. We are mandated to encourage, publish, and disseminate scholarly, creative, and scientific works which commercial publishers would not ordinarily undertake to publish.

Since its establishment on March 16, 1965 the UP Press has published important, often groundbreaking, works by home scholars that represent distinct contributions to knowledge. Our titles have consistently won recognition from prestigious award-giving bodies including the Book of the Year award from the Manila Critics Circle, the Madrigal Gonzales Best First Book Award, and the Outstanding Book of the Year award from the National Academy of Science and Technology. Because of this achievement, we have twice been cited Publisher of the Year by the Manila Critics Circle. This is in keeping with our vision of being the leading academic publishing house that sets the benchmark for academic, technical, and literary titles. Under the direction of historian Ma. Luisa Camagay, PhD, we remain steadfast in fulfilling our mission of making the best Philippine books available in the market.

The Oblation and the University Avenue

2012-12-02T12:28:55Z

Krbulan:

[[Image:Univave.JPG|200px|thumb]]
No symbol is more closely identified with the University of the Philippines than the statue of the Oblation. The nude young man with outstretched arms and open hands, with tilted head, closed eyes and parted lips murmuring a prayer, with breast forward in the act of offering himself is Guillermo Tolentino’s representation of the second stanza of Dr. Jose Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios in response to the request of UP President Rafael Palma in 1935.
__TOC__
==UP Oblation==

The Oblation (or Oble) was unveiled on November 30, 1935 at UP campus as Padre Faura in Ermita (now UP Manila) by Mrs. Gregoria de Jesus de Nakpil, widow of Andres Bonifacio. The cornerstone was earlier laid by Mrs. Aurora Quezon on November 30, 1931. It was dedicated to the national heroes.

He was fashioned out of concrete but painted to appear like bronze. It cost P2,000 which came from contributions of students, officials, alumni and employees of the University during a two-month fund campaign.

Oble withstood the ravages of the war and was standing at the quadrangle of UP Padre Faura on V.J. Day. On February 11, 1949, Oble was transferred to UP DIliman as part of the 40th anniversary of the University. The huge motorcade which accompanied Oble from Padre Faura to Diliman was “such as was never before seen of the alumni of the University.”

As part of the golden anniversary celebration of the University, the UP Board of Regents ordered that Oble be cast in bronze. The bronze statue was cast in Italy, under the personal supervision of Prof. Tolentino. On November 29, 1958, on the occasion of the University’s golden jubilee and 23 years after the original statue was first unveiled in Padre Faura, the 9-foot tall bronze Oble was unveiled in UP Diliman where it now stands in front of Quezon Hall, the main administration building of the University of the Philippines.

Oble stands on a rustic base, a stylized rugged shape of the Philippine archipelago, lined with big and small hard rocks, each and everyone of which represents an island. Its pedestal was formed from rocks from what was the Montalban River in Rizal, site of the fierce fighting between Filipino guerillas and the Japanese army during the World War II.

The Katakataka (wonder plant) is called ''siempre vivo'' (always alive) in Spanish. A leaf or a piece of it thrown anywhere will sprout into a young plant. Hence, it symbolizes the deep rooted patriotism in the hearts of our heroes. Such patriotism continually and forever grows anywhere in the Philippines. Furthermore, it is a variety which remains green throughout the year, and the spirit of service which Tolentino wanted to depict a spirit that should be steadfast and constant, one that does not lose direction nor intensity, come what may,

The fig leaf was added to Oble upon suggestion of President Jorge Bocobo. Oble stands 3.5m tall which represents the 350 years of Spanish rule in the Philippines. Anastacio Caedo pulled three casts in bronze which are situated in UP campuses in Manila, Baguio and Ilo-ilo. Napoleon Abueva’s concrete cast is in UP Los Banos and the most recent cast, also in concrete pulled by Mulawin Abueva, is deep underwater close to Sombrero Island where it was installed by the U.P Divers. The Oble in UP Cebu is not a cast but a replica and is attributed to Fidel Araneta, an alumnus of the College of Fine Arts. The original Oblation is now at the 3rd floor of the Main Library. At the base of Oble are inscriptions by Andres Bonifacio and Dr. Jose Rizal:
 
<blockquote>
 FRONT:
 
 Nasaan ang kabataang mag-aalay
 Ng kanilang kasibulang buhay,
 Ng kanilang adhikain at sagisag
 Sa kabutihan ng bansa?
 
 Nasaan ang siyang puspusang
 Magbubuhos ng dugo upang
 Hugasang lahat n gating kahihiyan,
 Ang ating mga kalapastanganan,
 Ang ating kabalintuan?
 
 Tanging yaong dalisay at walang bahid
 Ang karapatdapat na naging alay upang
 Matanggap and kasalantaang ito.
 
 ''(Binigkas ni Padre Florentino sa El Filibusterismo, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, 1891)''
 
 RIGHT:
 
 '''Huling Pahimakas ni Dr. Jose P. Rizal'''
 
 Masayang sa iyo’y aking idudulot
 Ang lanta kong buhay na
 Lubhang malungkot:
 Maging maringal man at
 Labis alindog
 Sa kagalingan mo ay
 Akin ding handog.
 
 Sa aking pakikidigma at pamimiyapis
 Ang alay ng iba’y
 Ang buhay na kipkip
 Walang agam-agam
 Maluag sa dibdib
 Matamis sa puso at di ikahapis
 
 ''(-salin ni Andres Bonifacio)''
 
 LEFT:
 
 '''Pag-ibig sa tinubuang bayan ni Andres Bonifacio'''
 
 Aling pag-ibig pa ang higit kaya
 sa pagkadalisay at pagkadakila?
 Gaya ng pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa?
 Aling pag-ibig pa? Wala na nga, wala.
 
 Pagpuring lubos ang palaging hangad
 Sa bayan ng taong may dangal na ingat.
 Umawit, tumula, kumatha’t sumulat
 Kalakhan din niya’y isinisiwalat.
 
 Walang mahalagang hindi inihandog
 Ng mgay pusong mahal sa Bayang nagkupkop
 Dugo, yaman, dunong, katiisa’t pagod,
 Buhay may abuting magkalagot lagot.
 
 BACK: (from ''Mi Ultimo Adios'')
 
 Saan man mautas ay di kailangan,
 Cipres o laurel, lirio ma’y patungan
 Pakikipaghamok, at ang bibitayan,
 Yaon ay gayon din kung hiling ng bayan.

==The University Avenue==
[[Image:University Avenue - Fille.jpg|200px|thumb|right|the University Avenue - photo by Erika Fille (www.flickr.com/photos/erikafille)]]
The main entrance to the University of the Philippines at Diliman is the University Avenue which is about 800 meters long of two four-car lanes. It has a junction with C.P. Garcia and an intersection with E. Jacinto Street.

The lane changes as the academic year progresses. In February, it is decorated with colorful banners to announce to all that it is UP DIliman month. In April, it is filled with sunflowers to greet the fresh graduates. In December, the 21 lamp posts are adorned with lanterns in celebration of the Yuletide season.

In the early days of UP in Diliman, the University Avenue was just a plain stretch of road. In 1956, an island was installed in the center of the avenue. The traffic lights were added in 1979.

The University Avenue welcomes everyone with public artworks. Just before the C.P. Garcia junction is the the twin public sculptural work of National Artist Napoleon Veloso Abueva entitled ''Tribute to Higher Education''. It was executed in 1966. As the title implies, the work depicts the various academic disciplines pursued in the University.

The ''University Gateway'' is located just before the intersection with E. Jacinto Street. It is also a masterpiece of Abueva. It was the winning entry in the University Gateway Design Competition sponsored by the President’s Committee on Landscaping in September 1962. The Gateway complex is a set of three structures: two commuter sheds flanking a guard post at the center.

Near the intersection with E. Jacinto Street, are the works of Ildefonso Cruz Marcelo. One is ''Captivity'', the other, ''Contemplation'' and the last one is ''Nude Bathing''.

==History==

The '''National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG)''' is an institution mandated to help in nation building. The college has spent almost 60 years of improving public administration and governance through education.

Established on June 15, 1952 following a recommendation from the Bell Mission, the University of the Philippines entered into a contract with the University of Michigan for technical assistance in establishing the Institute of Public Administration or the IPA.

Since its creation, the college has changed its name four times, from Institute of Public Administration to Graduate School of Public Administration to School of Public Administration to College of Public Administration and now to the National College of Public Administration and Governance. All these reflect the modifications the college made to make itself relevant to the changing times.

The first two directors of the IPA were American - Professor Lederle and Professor Heady, both from the University of Michigan. In-service and academic training were the two main educational programs of the IPA.

Three kinds of courses were conducted from 1952 to 1953, which saw the participation of a total of 2,500 government officers and employees. The academic program offered bachelors and master's degrees. Enrollment in both programs rose from 68 students during the 1st semester of 1953-1954 to "well over 200" per semester by 1955.

By 1954, Filipinos began to take over key posts in the IPA. The Filipino staff gradually took over and assumed full responsibility for the IPA when the University of Michigan contract ended in June 1956. Dean Jose Velmonte of the UP College of Business served as UP IPA Director but was soon replaced by Carlos P. Ramos.

Enrollment in the undergraduate and graduate programs continued to increase. The IPA conducted trainer-training courses and direct training for higher-level officials.

IPA was a center for research, academic and in-service training and consultation services. From the very beginning it was expected to extend its services beyond the walls of the academy and serve as a major resource of government.

Its status as a politically important government institution may be indexed by the laws which recognized its work and conferred on it additional powers as well as funds to carry out its objectives of improving public administration, modernizing the administrative machinery and increasing the capacity of the government to promote social and economic development.

In the 1960s, the IPA was made a graduate school, a school of public administration and elevation to college status. Assistant Dean Dr. Jose V. Abueva was appointed to oversee the academic program.

On its 10th year, Director Ramos affirmed that in-service training, consultation services or "extension work" was of equal importance with academic teaching and research. In line with its intended regional role, the Eastern Regional Organization for Public Administration (EROPA) was organized in 1960 with state, institutional and individual members from all over Asia and the Pacific. The IPA was made its secretariat-headquarters.

EROPA also set up a research center in Saigon, a training center in New Delhi and a local government center in Tokyo. Director Ramos was elected as the first EROPA secretary general and was re-elected to this post until 1982. In a sense, EROPA merely capped the regional and international role that the IPA played.

The UP IPA was the 1st postwar institute of its kind in Asia. It was frequently visited by foreign dignitaries and students, and emulated by several countries in the region. In the succeeding years, IPAs were organized in Iran (1954), Vietnam (1955), Pakistan (1955), Thailand, Korea, Nepal and turkey.

The educational program of the college began to be emulated as well. Other institutions started offering courses in public administration with a total of 15 colleges and universities by 1971. The programs of the college enjoyed wide acceptance and support from national and international agencies.

Its services included professional and policy advice and technical assistance to a wide variety of local, national and international institutions. It was a resource not only to the Asian region but also to the regions within the country.

The events from the mid sixties to the advent of martial law provoked crisis in the role of the college vis-à-vis government. At its founding the college was a helpmate and adviser to government. In the late 60s, there was a segment of the faculty, which was more comfortable as critic of government than as its major resource.

During martial law, the college was critical and collaborative. It displeased the dictatorship with its studies of graft and corruption, its analyses of the personalistic and closed decision-making process, the tokenism and elite orientation on several government programs. However, it continued to be a source of ideas for decentralization and other government projects like the ministry of local government, civil service commission and commission on audit and many line departments and government units.

The stature and personality of Raul de Guzman, its dean from 1973 to 1982, helped a lot during this period. His recognized expertise opened many doors for the faculty and staff, and his amiable personality gave him and them room to criticize government programs without alienating their officials.

The 1980s led to many curricular and course changes to address the issue of looking into the roots of indigenous administrative thought and practices in the country. On November 26, 1998 the UP Board of Regents (BOR) approved the transformation of the college to National College of Public Administration and Governance.

This reflects the widening focus from governmental management to a broader concern of governance for public interest. Innovations and changes in the functions and structure of the college were made.

* The '''[[Center for Public Administration and Governance Education]] (CPAGE)''' manages the academic programs which remain as the core of the college. Its current director is Dr. Minerva S. Baylon, who is also the College Secretary and NCPAG Director of Studies.

* The '''[[Center for Policy and Executive Development]] (CPED)''' is the research and extension unit for national agencies, public enterprises and international organizations. Its current director is Professor Dan A. Saguil.

* The '''[[Center for Local and Regional Governance]] (CLRG)''' established in 1965 remains in the forefront of research, consultancy services and facilitation of learning in government for local and regional levels. Its current director is Dr. Remigio Eduardo Ocenar.

* The '''[[Center for Leadership, Citizenship and Democracy]] (CLCD)''' focuses on issues on civil society and democracy. Its current director is Dr. [[Faina Diola]].

A library that has the widest collection of books on public administration and governance supports these centers.

The college is likewise coping with the demands of information technology. Its website www.up-ncpag.org was recently re-launched.

On its 50th year, the college is conscious of its position as the nation's premier institution of higher learning in public administration and governance. The mission of the college is to strive for excellence and relevance in advancing the study and professional practice of public administration; in building capacities for executive leadership; in breaking new ground in policy and administrative research. It also serves as social critic, even as it provides technical assistance to organizations and institutions in state and local governments and to civil society.

As an institution rooted in the Philippines, it will build and nurture ties with regional and international bodies similarly seeking improvement in governance and public administration. As a learning institution, it continuously and critically strives to meet the challenges and problems of governance. In pursuing all these ends, we uphold the primacy of the public interest and high ethical standards.

The NCPAG values are service to the nation, public interest, and democratic governance. Concomitant to such principles it supports visionary leadership that is progressive and committed, transparent and accountable. As the NCPAG carries out the role of social critic it upholds academic freedom and an advocacy that is founded on social relevance and integrity consistent with the promotion of the public good.

==History==

The '''National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG)''' is an institution mandated to help in nation building. The college has spent almost 60 years of improving public administration and governance through education.

Established on June 15, 1952 following a recommendation from the Bell Mission, the University of the Philippines entered into a contract with the University of Michigan for technical assistance in establishing the Institute of Public Administration or the IPA.

Since its creation, the college has changed its name four times, from Institute of Public Administration to Graduate School of Public Administration to School of Public Administration to College of Public Administration and now to the National College of Public Administration and Governance. All these reflect the modifications the college made to make itself relevant to the changing times.

The first two directors of the IPA were American - Professor Lederle and Professor Heady, both from the University of Michigan. In-service and academic training were the two main educational programs of the IPA.

Three kinds of courses were conducted from 1952 to 1953, which saw the participation of a total of 2,500 government officers and employees. The academic program offered bachelors and master's degrees. Enrollment in both programs rose from 68 students during the 1st semester of 1953-1954 to "well over 200" per semester by 1955.

By 1954, Filipinos began to take over key posts in the IPA. The Filipino staff gradually took over and assumed full responsibility for the IPA when the University of Michigan contract ended in June 1956. Dean Jose Velmonte of the UP College of Business served as UP IPA Director but was soon replaced by Carlos P. Ramos.

Enrollment in the undergraduate and graduate programs continued to increase. The IPA conducted trainer-training courses and direct training for higher-level officials.

IPA was a center for research, academic and in-service training and consultation services. From the very beginning it was expected to extend its services beyond the walls of the academy and serve as a major resource of government.

Its status as a politically important government institution may be indexed by the laws which recognized its work and conferred on it additional powers as well as funds to carry out its objectives of improving public administration, modernizing the administrative machinery and increasing the capacity of the government to promote social and economic development.

In the 1960s, the IPA was made a graduate school, a school of public administration and elevation to college status. Assistant Dean Dr. Jose V. Abueva was appointed to oversee the academic program.

On its 10th year, Director Ramos affirmed that in-service training, consultation services or "extension work" was of equal importance with academic teaching and research. In line with its intended regional role, the Eastern Regional Organization for Public Administration (EROPA) was organized in 1960 with state, institutional and individual members from all over Asia and the Pacific. The IPA was made its secretariat-headquarters.

EROPA also set up a research center in Saigon, a training center in New Delhi and a local government center in Tokyo. Director Ramos was elected as the first EROPA secretary general and was re-elected to this post until 1982. In a sense, EROPA merely capped the regional and international role that the IPA played.

The UP IPA was the 1st postwar institute of its kind in Asia. It was frequently visited by foreign dignitaries and students, and emulated by several countries in the region. In the succeeding years, IPAs were organized in Iran (1954), Vietnam (1955), Pakistan (1955), Thailand, Korea, Nepal and turkey.

The educational program of the college began to be emulated as well. Other institutions started offering courses in public administration with a total of 15 colleges and universities by 1971. The programs of the college enjoyed wide acceptance and support from national and international agencies.

Its services included professional and policy advice and technical assistance to a wide variety of local, national and international institutions. It was a resource not only to the Asian region but also to the regions within the country.

The events from the mid sixties to the advent of martial law provoked crisis in the role of the college vis-à-vis government. At its founding the college was a helpmate and adviser to government. In the late 60s, there was a segment of the faculty, which was more comfortable as critic of government than as its major resource.

During martial law, the college was critical and collaborative. It displeased the dictatorship with its studies of graft and corruption, its analyses of the personalistic and closed decision-making process, the tokenism and elite orientation on several government programs. However, it continued to be a source of ideas for decentralization and other government projects like the ministry of local government, civil service commission and commission on audit and many line departments and government units.

The stature and personality of Raul de Guzman, its dean from 1973 to 1982, helped a lot during this period. His recognized expertise opened many doors for the faculty and staff, and his amiable personality gave him and them room to criticize government programs without alienating their officials.

The 1980s led to many curricular and course changes to address the issue of looking into the roots of indigenous administrative thought and practices in the country. On November 26, 1998 the UP Board of Regents (BOR) approved the transformation of the college to National College of Public Administration and Governance.

This reflects the widening focus from governmental management to a broader concern of governance for public interest. Innovations and changes in the functions and structure of the college were made.

* The '''[[Center for Public Administration and Governance Education]] (CPAGE)''' manages the academic programs which remain as the core of the college. Its current director is Dr. Minerva S. Baylon, who is also the College Secretary and NCPAG Director of Studies.

* The '''[[Center for Policy and Executive Development]] (CPED)''' is the research and extension unit for national agencies, public enterprises and international organizations. Its current director is Professor Dan A. Saguil.

* The '''[[Center for Local and Regional Governance]] (CLRG)''' established in 1965 remains in the forefront of research, consultancy services and facilitation of learning in government for local and regional levels. Its current director is Dr. Remigio Eduardo Ocenar.

* The '''[[Center for Leadership, Citizenship and Democracy]] (CLCD)''' focuses on issues on civil society and democracy. Its current director is Dr. [[Faina Diola]].

A library that has the widest collection of books on public administration and governance supports these centers.

The college is likewise coping with the demands of information technology. Its website www.up-ncpag.org was recently re-launched.

On its 50th year, the college is conscious of its position as the nation's premier institution of higher learning in public administration and governance. The mission of the college is to strive for excellence and relevance in advancing the study and professional practice of public administration; in building capacities for executive leadership; in breaking new ground in policy and administrative research. It also serves as social critic, even as it provides technical assistance to organizations and institutions in state and local governments and to civil society.

As an institution rooted in the Philippines, it will build and nurture ties with regional and international bodies similarly seeking improvement in governance and public administration. As a learning institution, it continuously and critically strives to meet the challenges and problems of governance. In pursuing all these ends, we uphold the primacy of the public interest and high ethical standards.

The NCPAG values are service to the nation, public interest, and democratic governance. Concomitant to such principles it supports visionary leadership that is progressive and committed, transparent and accountable. As the NCPAG carries out the role of social critic it upholds academic freedom and an advocacy that is founded on social relevance and integrity consistent with the promotion of the public good.

==History==

The '''National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG)''' is an institution mandated to help in nation building. The college has spent almost 60 years of improving public administration and governance through education.

Established on June 15, 1952 following a recommendation from the Bell Mission, the University of the Philippines entered into a contract with the University of Michigan for technical assistance in establishing the Institute of Public Administration or the IPA.

Since its creation, the college has changed its name four times, from Institute of Public Administration to Graduate School of Public Administration to School of Public Administration to College of Public Administration and now to the National College of Public Administration and Governance. All these reflect the modifications the college made to make itself relevant to the changing times.

The first two directors of the IPA were American - Professor Lederle and Professor Heady, both from the University of Michigan. In-service and academic training were the two main educational programs of the IPA.

Three kinds of courses were conducted from 1952 to 1953, which saw the participation of a total of 2,500 government officers and employees. The academic program offered bachelors and master's degrees. Enrollment in both programs rose from 68 students during the 1st semester of 1953-1954 to "well over 200" per semester by 1955.

By 1954, Filipinos began to take over key posts in the IPA. The Filipino staff gradually took over and assumed full responsibility for the IPA when the University of Michigan contract ended in June 1956. Dean Jose Velmonte of the UP College of Business served as UP IPA Director but was soon replaced by Carlos P. Ramos.

Enrollment in the undergraduate and graduate programs continued to increase. The IPA conducted trainer-training courses and direct training for higher-level officials.

IPA was a center for research, academic and in-service training and consultation services. From the very beginning it was expected to extend its services beyond the walls of the academy and serve as a major resource of government.

Its status as a politically important government institution may be indexed by the laws which recognized its work and conferred on it additional powers as well as funds to carry out its objectives of improving public administration, modernizing the administrative machinery and increasing the capacity of the government to promote social and economic development.

In the 1960s, the IPA was made a graduate school, a school of public administration and elevation to college status. Assistant Dean Dr. Jose V. Abueva was appointed to oversee the academic program.

On its 10th year, Director Ramos affirmed that in-service training, consultation services or "extension work" was of equal importance with academic teaching and research. In line with its intended regional role, the Eastern Regional Organization for Public Administration (EROPA) was organized in 1960 with state, institutional and individual members from all over Asia and the Pacific. The IPA was made its secretariat-headquarters.

EROPA also set up a research center in Saigon, a training center in New Delhi and a local government center in Tokyo. Director Ramos was elected as the first EROPA secretary general and was re-elected to this post until 1982. In a sense, EROPA merely capped the regional and international role that the IPA played.

The UP IPA was the 1st postwar institute of its kind in Asia. It was frequently visited by foreign dignitaries and students, and emulated by several countries in the region. In the succeeding years, IPAs were organized in Iran (1954), Vietnam (1955), Pakistan (1955), Thailand, Korea, Nepal and turkey.

The educational program of the college began to be emulated as well. Other institutions started offering courses in public administration with a total of 15 colleges and universities by 1971. The programs of the college enjoyed wide acceptance and support from national and international agencies.

Its services included professional and policy advice and technical assistance to a wide variety of local, national and international institutions. It was a resource not only to the Asian region but also to the regions within the country.

The events from the mid sixties to the advent of martial law provoked crisis in the role of the college vis-à-vis government. At its founding the college was a helpmate and adviser to government. In the late 60s, there was a segment of the faculty, which was more comfortable as critic of government than as its major resource.

During martial law, the college was critical and collaborative. It displeased the dictatorship with its studies of graft and corruption, its analyses of the personalistic and closed decision-making process, the tokenism and elite orientation on several government programs. However, it continued to be a source of ideas for decentralization and other government projects like the ministry of local government, civil service commission and commission on audit and many line departments and government units.

The stature and personality of Raul de Guzman, its dean from 1973 to 1982, helped a lot during this period. His recognized expertise opened many doors for the faculty and staff, and his amiable personality gave him and them room to criticize government programs without alienating their officials.

The 1980s led to many curricular and course changes to address the issue of looking into the roots of indigenous administrative thought and practices in the country. On November 26, 1998 the UP Board of Regents (BOR) approved the transformation of the college to National College of Public Administration and Governance.

This reflects the widening focus from governmental management to a broader concern of governance for public interest. Innovations and changes in the functions and structure of the college were made.

* The '''[[Center for Public Administration and Governance Education]] (CPAGE)''' manages the academic programs which remain as the core of the college. Its current director is Dr. Minerva S. Baylon, who is also the College Secretary and NCPAG Director of Studies.

* The '''[[Center for Policy and Executive Development]] (CPED)''' is the research and extension unit for national agencies, public enterprises and international organizations. Its current director is Professor Dan A. Saguil.

* The '''[[Center for Local and Regional Governance]] (CLRG)''' established in 1965 remains in the forefront of research, consultancy services and facilitation of learning in government for local and regional levels. Its current director is Dr. Remigio Eduardo Ocenar.

* The '''[[Center for Leadership, Citizenship and Democracy]] (CLCD)''' focuses on issues on civil society and democracy. Its current director is Dr. [[Faina Diola]].

A library that has the widest collection of books on public administration and governance supports these centers.

The college is likewise coping with the demands of information technology. Its website www.up-ncpag.org was recently re-launched.

On its 50th year, the college is conscious of its position as the nation's premier institution of higher learning in public administration and governance. The mission of the college is to strive for excellence and relevance in advancing the study and professional practice of public administration; in building capacities for executive leadership; in breaking new ground in policy and administrative research. It also serves as social critic, even as it provides technical assistance to organizations and institutions in state and local governments and to civil society.

As an institution rooted in the Philippines, it will build and nurture ties with regional and international bodies similarly seeking improvement in governance and public administration. As a learning institution, it continuously and critically strives to meet the challenges and problems of governance. In pursuing all these ends, we uphold the primacy of the public interest and high ethical standards.

The NCPAG values are service to the nation, public interest, and democratic governance. Concomitant to such principles it supports visionary leadership that is progressive and committed, transparent and accountable. As the NCPAG carries out the role of social critic it upholds academic freedom and an advocacy that is founded on social relevance and integrity consistent with the promotion of the public good.

From the Department of Physical Education, the need to institute programs to maximize the growth and development of physical education and sports in the country was conceptualized under the leadership of Dr. Aparicio H. Mequi, who was then the director of the Department. Thus, this led to the establishment of the UP Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (SPEAR) in 1976. In 1989, with the increase in the student population and the general public's current interest in sports and other physical activities, the name of the institute was eventually changed under the incumbency of the late Dr. Cynthia V. Abad Santos. Upon the recommendation of the faculty and the approval from the University Council, UP SPEAR became the UP College of Human Kinetics to better relate its field to that of movement science.
