Sitting under the heat of the sun for almost two hours was worth it, because towards the end of the program, we all experienced the switching of the UP Sablay from the right shoulder to the left shoulder. This is similar to the moving of the tassel of the academic cap which means you are officially an alumnus of the university! Congrats to all the graduates!!! Maraming salamat UP!!! #ThankYouLord”
