RE : “Handog Indak sa Freshmen”

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, in cooperation with the Office for Initiatives in Culture
and the Arts (OICA), invites all freshmen to a dance concert dubbed “Handog Indak sa Freshmen”on 11 August 2009, 5 p.m., in
the University Theater.

The dance concert takes the place of the annual Freshman Welcome Assembly, which was deferred in compliance with advisories
from the Department of Health against large gatherings due to concerns about the spread of the flu virus A(H1N1). Instead of the usual
speeches and introductions, the “Handog Indak sa Freshmen,” which this year is the University’s welcome event for freshmen, will feature
some of the best resident talents of the University – the UP Pep Squad, the UP Filipiniana Dance Group, the UP Dance Sport Society, the UP Street
Dance Club, the UP Dance Company, and the Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino (KontraGapi). Included in the line-up is a select group of freshmen enrolled
in PE dance courses. Also performing is the UP ROTC Symphonic Band. The show is directed by Prof. Jojo Cariño and hosted by Dr. Jovy Peregrino.

The OVCSA will soon distribute tickets to the freshmen through the Colleges. The freshmen are reminded to present their ticket at the University Theater
entrance together with their Form 5 beginning at 4:15 p.m. on 11 August 2009. Freshmen who will attend the concert will receive a copy of the student handbook
and a bookmarker containing the academic calendar for the Academic Year 2009-2010.

May I request the Colleges to disseminate the information about the “Handog Indak sa Freshmen” and to strongly encourage them to attend
this concert that is meant to welcome them to the University.

Thank you!
