Best of Zuprome: Good Vibes Blog About UP Cebu



UP Cebu will always have a special place in my heart. During the four years of my college life, University of the Philippines Cebu has been my home.

Since I started blogging, I have always wanted to write something for the UP Cebu community. Unlike other universities with bigger population, UP Cebu only comprises about 1,500 students in one academic year.

Despite the small population, UP Cebu has proudly produced graduates who are best in their fields. During their stay in UP Cebu, they have created memories and to preserve these memories is one of the goals why I wanted write about UP Cebu.

Here are the blog posts I have written about UP Cebu and I hope that these will bring good vibes to your heart, Iskolar:

Ghost hunting, horror stories, paranormal activities… you can visit UP Cebu to experience these out-of-this-world events. Yes, University of the Philippines Cebu is one of the spooky places in Cebu where there are spiritual sightings. I have compiled several ghost sightings in the campus as determined by some of the students I’ve talked to and conversations heard and read here and there, some of which are edited version of confessions from “ Speak UP, Iskolar ” published late last year.

The Curious Case of Sirao Flower Farm in Cebu

I first heard of Sirao Flower Farm in Sirao Peak, Cebu City when I was riding a taxi. Little did I know that Sirao Flower Farm (aka Mini Amsterdam in Cebu) is a trending topic in social media.  For sure, everyone who have heard about the beautiful celosia flowers in Sirao Peak will surely search on how to go there and take a selfie. For only P20.00, you will be able to take a picture that you can post in your Instagram and share it on Facebook. For P100.00, you can take a video and upload it online.

NOT JUST SELFIES On the other hand, here’s the sad reality: the celosias aren’t treated properly. People are not just simply taking pictures but ruining the beautiful celosias in Sirao Flower Farm.
