When In Manila, can you tour the Philippines in one day? Imagine that. Believe me or not you can, when you join in the annual Pasalubong Festival of  the Kalayaan Dorm at UP Diliman. Surely you can now scream, yeah “It’s more fun in the Philippines”. Or say, “It’s more fun in Kalayaan”!

 

 

 

Pasalubong Festival is an annual thingy (okay, calm down and let me use this word ‘freshies’ for the lack of cool adjectives) of the dormitory organized by residents themselves. Usually, they do celebrate it every 2nd or 3rd week of January when residents were back from an awesome vacay (slang for vacation). Kalayaan is an exclusive dormitory for UPD’s freshmen, so yes better expect some of the most innovative, wacky, and colorful show from the most intellectual batch of freshmen in the country. Let’s just call them ‘freshies’ (Oh yeah guys, you are cool).

 

 

 

 

I like it when people pray before anything else happens, I salute you  Region 6 !!! Awesome!

 You gotta miss this TV Area of the Dorm. Hey, in our time there’s no prints on those walls.

 

 

 

Okay let me say this to you, it’s the most unique, non-boring and comprehensive cultural celebration you’ll be into. Its like tourism galore featuring the festivals, delicacies and exotic tour experience of all regions and provinces of the Philippines, or what have you. Okay, beat that.
