Limited edition Php100 bills with UP centennial logo
Yesterday I finally got hold of my UP Centennial commemorative 100-peso bank notes.
In celebration of the centennial of the University of the Philippines, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas printed limited copies of P100 bills with an overprint of the UP Oblation, the symbol of the country’s premier state university, to the right of former Philippine Pres. Manuel Roxas.
UP Centennial song: UP Ang Galing Mo! (Lyrics + Mp3)
You probably know by now that the University of the Philippines (UP) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year but did you know that there’s a song officially commissioned for the occasion?
UP’s Centennial Song entitled UP, Ang Galing Mo! was created by jingle composer Herbert Rosales and sang by the UP Centennial Band.
The song may sound self-indulging to some people but, in any case, here it is with the lyrics and guitar chords.
If you want to download the song, right click on the Download ‘UP Ang Galing Mo’ mp3 link at the bottom and choose “Save As” or “Save Link As.”
