The University of the Philippines Diliman commencement exercises will be held on June 28 outdoors at the University amphitheatre at sunrise — to start before dawn (with contingency of moving indoors in case of rain).The graduates will march from The Oblation to the grassy knoll, where they will be seated facing The Oblation. The guests onstage will be facing the sunrise.

Live-tweeting and selfies will be allowed to your heart’s content. Attire: Off-white Filipiniana and sablay. (i suppose the guests can be allowed to wear dainty, sunflower hats.)

Happy Graduation!
