Cotton and Chess stand guard and watch over the property during non-office hours when most are at home resting:
University of the Philippines CMC Media Center Film Lobby watchdogs on holidays, after office hours and on shutdown days… They “check out” any stranger who tries to enter the open lobby by barking aloud,
Photo shows Cotton and Chess looking northeast, alert, where the entrance and exit are and from where people come from: On holidays and non-workdays, these are cyclists, promenaders, runners, and other people who want to avail of the open free drinking water fountain at the Film Lobby; but they can detect any stranger from any direction…
(you’ll never know who else wants to enter the premises unless your attention is called)

Cotton, our University college watchdog and emotional support animal of the University of the Philippines Diliman, likes to sit at the center of the three buildings that he free-ranges (he is semi-free-ranging) – see video where this is: It’s literally the center island of the triangle of roads that traverses the three buildings U.P. College of Mass Comm on the northwest side, U.P. College of Music on the northeast side, and the U.P. administration building (Quezon Hall) on the southeast side. Why does he like to sit here? i don’t know. Some people say it’s because Cotton enjoys attention: When you’re on this center island, you feel like all the cars are “looking” at you. Some people say it’s because it’s breeziest here as the wind rushes through here. Still, it may not be safe for him to lounge on the very low “mound”. If a vehicle loses its brake, or if a driver/ cyclist/ motorbiker overspeeds and goes over the island, it’s not safe for him — for that matter, the campus is not safe for any species if there are irresponsible motorists.
