Tomorrow, the University of the Philippines will open festivities marking its centennial. I come from a family with a long UP tradition. Both my parents and my younger sister are UP graduates. So were two of my grandparents. On both sides, most of my uncles and aunts went to UP as well.
But the first of my forefathers to walk the hallowed halls of the University of the Philippines was my great-grandfather, Dr. Pedro G. Henares, UP Medicine Class of 1915. The photo above is from the 1915 Philippinensian. That makes me a fourth-generation UP graduate!
If all goes well, I hope to finish my third UP degree this year. So that makes me a centennial graduate too!
wow!! go UP Med!
