Return to UP Mindanao in Davao

UP Mindanao and the Oblation

Yes, I am an alumnus of UP Visayas of Miagao in Iloilo—what we call as a UP campus where the mountains meet the sea. I cherished memories of “the best days of my life” in college. However, there is another UP campus that is also very dear to me—that’s UP Mindanao in Davao City.
