CHANGE OF THRONES
This year’s UP Cookout will have the timely theme of ‘Change of Thrones’ inspired by the hit TV series ‘Game of Thrones.’ What’s the catch? ‘UP Cookout 2015: Change of Thrones’ will tackle election-related issues.
May 2016 is a few months to go. This year’s UP Cebu social awareness campaign deals with the upcoming national election and aims to educate the public about the current political trends.
As part of the social awareness, the UP Cebu community was asked one question, “Who will be your 2016 President?” Check out their interesting answers here!
Prior to the November 13, 2015 main event, UP Cookout organized two election-related events.
Last September 26, 2015, the UP Cookout organizers in partnership with Rappler had the ‘Innovation + Social Good Summit #TheLeaderIWant’ in UP Cebu AS Conference Hall. The event was intended to empower the youth in choosing the right candidates for next year’s election.
Last November 6, 2015, UP Cookout staged the ‘Pre-Cookout: All People Must Rise’ in UP Cebu Volleyball Court. Various student organizations and individuals shared their talents such as singing, dancing, poetry reading, and political discussions in various social issues including the upcoming 2016 national election.

After the two successful minor UP Cookout events, everything is set for the main event!
HISTORY
As the term suggests, Cookout started in August 1987 as a simple gathering of UP Cebu community where people get to talk about important matters over food.
According to Prof. Raymund Fernandez, UP Cebu alumnus and Professor of Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Painting, Cookout also served as a culmination activity in celebrating the campus’ victory as one of the first campuses to ever reinstitute the Student Council after the declaration of Martial Law.
Soon enough, the simple gathering increasingly turned into a huge production where UP Cebu students rally behind socially relevant issues through a talent showcase, year after year.
UP COOKOUT SEGMENTS
‘UP Cookout 2015: Change of Thrones’ is generally divided into four segments. The socially relevant segments with their respective thought-provoking themes are the following:
