UP Carillon 2022

UP LOS BAÑOS
The Los Baños campus had its own share of films
and music videos that showcased its rich and
natural beauty.
Co said Tikoy Aguiluz’s Terror Theater used the
Dioscoro Umali auditorium at UPLB to represent
the controversial Manila Film Center that was
hurriedly built for the first Manila International
Film Festival.
Philippine Star columnist Bumbum Tenorio
reported the filming of Sakay at the Charles Fuller
Baker Memorial Hall, and the first ever episode of
Lovingly Yours, Helen starring Vivian Foz at the
Men’s Dorm of UPLB.
Screenwriter and actor Ian Lomongo remarked,
“I think a great part of Khavn De La Cruz’s
Desaparadiso was shot in the UPLB campus
and the Makiling Botanical Gardens. And so was
Alienasyon, Rom Factolerin’s entry to QCinema.
In his response to a query via BOTB Manila, Martin
Bondoc said the entire music video Bawat Daan
of musician, composer and vocalist Ebe Dancel
was done in UPLB. And true enough, the music
video gave us a trip down nostalgia lane with
iconic landmarks and sweeping vistas of bucolic
UPLB campus.

UP BAGUIO
SOFIA Board Member Ronald Rios said Mike de
Leon’s Kung Mangarap Ka’t Magising, which was
partly shot in Sagada, was mostly shot around
Baguio, but it had a lot of campus scenes in UP
Baguio: its faculty room, canteen and auditorium,
featuring Christopher de Leon and his college
barkada Bibeth Orteza and members of the APO
Hiking Society.
Fancy yourself a filmmaker, or music video
director. Where on campus would you shoot
your opus? And which UP campus? Take your
pick: apart from Diliman, there’s UP Visayas, UP
Mindanao, UP Manila, UP Los Baños, UP Baguio,
UP Cebu... even in Clark or San Fernando!
