History

The UP Likha sa Ramdam at Isip ng Kabataan or UP LIRIKA, a special interest organization based in the University of the Philippines-Diliman, believes that the art of singing-songwriting freely expresses the creative and artistic minds of the youth. The organization's main advocacy is geared towards empowering people through music by voicing out one's perspective, emotions, and ideology in the society.

Founding Members

The founding Executive Committee were Gyle Gavieres (Chairperson), Karen Mikki Asuncion (VC for Internal Affairs Committee), Ileana Cabochan (VC for Production Committee), Natata Nelson Kersey (VC for Finance Committee) and Javid Lim (VC for External Affairs Committee).

Activities

As a university-wide organization, we conduct and take part in numerous activities inside and outside the campus. One of our main initiatives is a live recording session called LIRIKA Saturday Sessions or LSS where original compositions are showcased on various social media platforms. LIRIKA also holds workshops primarily focused on singing-songwriting, instrument playing, and music productions every semester. They have also hosted several ACLEs (Alternative Classroom Learning Experience) with guests such as Dane Hipolito, Paolo and Miguel Guico of Ben&Ben and Munimuni
