Activities

DZUP RC holds activities for DZUP 1602 and the entire UP community as well. The organization holds radio workshops and other training activities for its members, applicants and interested students.

Every July, the organization celebrates its founding anniversary through Radio Circle month. The main event for this is the Musiquiz, a quiz show that aims to provide the students a chance to showcase their knowledge and interest in music.

The organization also helps in a comprehensive University Student Council Election Coverage, which is aired on DZUP 1602. Every USC election, DZUP interns and RC members are assigned to different colleges as correspondents to give up-to-date reports, from the campaign sorties to the proclamation of winners. RC also helps in the live coverage of other events in the campus such as the Lantern Parade every December.

DZUP RC also organizes College Collision, an inter-school amateur band competition for college students. It is the organization's flagship event which serves as an avenue for promising college bands to showcase their talents. It is also a fund raising activity for DZUP 1602. A portion of the profit gained from the event will proceed to the funding of operations of DZUP 1602.
