![]() ![]() Talk about “E for effort” or is it “A for effort”? Haha. One of my most favorite funny scenes was shot here, not only because it’s kilig overload but also because of the street food that I terribly miss! Tin was food tripping with her friends when Raf appeared out of nowhere, sweaty from the commute from España to Diliman. It also houses the Vinzons Hill Tambayan Complex. The front, which is usually crowded as all jeepney routes operating in and around the campus stop here, is laden with street food stalls. Vinzons Hall has been the headquarters of the University Student Council. In fact, you can actually get a glimpse of the Acad Oval in all of the following scenes: Sunken Garden scenes, street food stall in front of Vinzons Hall with Tin’s friends, and Palma Hall/AS Steps scenes. The UP Lantern Parade scene was shot here. Driving along the Academic Oval, you will pass by, among others, Quezon Hall (main entrance), Vargas Museum, Palma Hall (AS), Benitez Hall (College of Education), Vinzons Hall, Malcolm Hall (College of Law), Melchor Hall (College of Engineering), UP Theater, Abelardo Hall (College of Music), UP Carillon, and Plaridel Hall (College of Mass Communications). If UP Diliman were a heart, the Academic Oval can be considered the aorta, the largest artery, pumping out blood throughout the body via the smaller arteries connected to it. One of Palma Hall’s famous areas is the “AS Steps” - those many little steps leading to the main entrance gate of the building. All the scenes of Tin attending Art Studies major classes happened here. Most popularly known as “AS” (Arts & Science Building) to iskos and iskas, Palma Hall is where freshies usually take their General Education subjects. ![]() It also served as a place of contemplation when their paths crossed again after several years. In the movie, the Sunken Garden became witness to the blossoming love between Tin (Liza) and Raf (Enrique), sharing their dreams and plans for the future. It has also been home to many week-long UP Fair celebration spoiling us with well-loved OPM music but also an annual dose of “jumping jologs”, in case you missed being one. It’s open to all, like a very approachable friend who is willing to listen to all your rants and problems. After “Oble” (Oblation Statue), the Sunken Garden is arguably the second most prominent feature in UP Diliman campus. ![]()
