American Visits the University of the Philippines Diliman 🇵🇭 BEAUTIFUL College Campus

[@giannishen]

Thank you for taking us to visit the largest university in the Philippines on a rainy day! I hope you can go back to university one day to complete your master's degree! 👍🥰🙏

[@Marc-tq6hm]

I’m in Las Vegas. Grew up here in the states. Freshman year at the university of Maryland. Grandfather retired from world bank in 1987. Invited me on semester break and transferred to UP DILIMAN College of Architecture. Stayed for 5 years and 87 to 92. I miss the Philippines

[@estelalopez3563]

Most miss japan but not phillipines

[@bianckinitan]

UP TOWN CENTER is actually not a mall dedicated for students. Ayala malls just called it that way because it’s in the UP Area or Brgy. UP Campus (Which is an actual baranggay btw) It’s also probably just a marketing ploy by the ayalas to name it like so since UP is the top university in the Philippines. But yeah it’s still very accessible to students and also a good escape from the heat in the campus.

[@pablo20003]

UP Diliman is one of well known University here in the Philippines, It is considered as Green School, they preserve the green spaces. I've been wanted to study there before but I chose to study here in our province where I live but the University of the Philippines had been my ideal university before.

[@dia_kiyoko21]

Always bring an umbrella when you’re in the Philippines ☔️🌂

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

For protection from the sun.

[@AntonioSy]

I went to this University as an undergrad and I loved my time there. Thanks for the walk down memory lane

[@alvinantonio8033]

Never would have thought of visiting a college campus for a self tour, have never been suggested by anyone in PI to go see how beautiful UPD is! It’s gorgeous! And they have a mall? Amazing!!!!

[@flip1sba]

It’s PH not PI!

[@momohirai064]

UP is famous for its jogging/cycling path. We used to exercise there daily. Thanks for visiting there Zane. Safe travels! 🙂

[@LimeBoy-oo6ph]

when i was in highschool i struggled because i'm just not academically inclined. so i wasn't accepted into any universities. i did various programs and eventually got into a uni in my mid 20s. i'm still in that uni degree now. i've failed many classes many times and i've completely given up then restarted my efforts a few times. im struggling in it still. when i hear people talking casually about how they studied at uni it makes me feel bad. thanks for reading. good video.

[@leolagmay4789]

Ikot means 'to go around' ; so the jeepney route is simply going round the oval you were walking over; its for the students attending classes in buildings located in various parts of the academic oval; the jeepney route starts mostly at the Quezon City Hall then enters into the UP campus through the University Avenue connecting the Commonwealth Highway

[@4truthandpeace25]

I graduated from UP Manila along Padre Faura St., which holds the medical degrees. Also the oldest of the UP System schools. I wish we had a nice campus like Diliman. Our buildings were scattered and there were no parks or green areas.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

The UP Tpwn Center Mall is the original location of the UP Integrated School. UPIS moved inside the main campus to give way to the construction of the mall.

[@waytogomojo]

Thanks for showing us my alma mater. It's changed a lot since I was there, and that mall is pretty amazing, I didn't know they built one in the area.

[@zakhossain3004]

WOW! I was a student in 1980. The campus changed so much that I couldn't recognize. A few things you mentioned I distinctly remember--I was a student in the college of letters. I took classes in the school of Econ and law school. I frequented the library. Also, played soccer at the stadium you walked by. I lived in a dorm called International Center fairly close to law and econ schools. The mall used to be a small stip mall where we used to have our lunch and dinner- Catering to students so meals were very inexpensive. The mall now looks very elaborate and more options. Forty-three years is a longtime! Thanks for sharing. Good luck with your travels!

[@laurieleonard8209]

Zane You looked like you were having so much fun talking with the snack ladies❤️ l really appreciate this part of your channel because some travel vloggers seem stand offish and too polite Thanks❤

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

453 hectares UP Diliman. There are other bigger UP like in Los Banos, Laguna and Miagao, Iloilo.

[@tinanugget5419]

I Love UP.. There will be a Fun Run at UP on Nov.18 that would be great running around the Campus 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👍👍👍

[@cynthiagonzalez658]

I spent my best and maybe worst times there. 🤩😢 Three years, then dropped out for a year. Dropped back in and got my DVM degree. Shortly after, the veterinary college was moved to Los Banos. It's completely gone from Diliman. So sad 😢😭

[@ATabjvlog2163]

So good,I m understand myself I m visiting my country in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@NADOYAGANDA]

The girl who fried the snack looks pretty and the campus is really beautiful and idyllic.

[@francisgracejimenez]

There is also another big university quite near to Up and Up town center..it's the Ateneo de Manila University but it's basically same thing but a little bit smaller in space .It's a private university though which is expensive where the rich goes esp from the neighboring posh villages like the LGV and La Vista

[@ronaldjackson6333]

I went to my first year of univeristy at UP Diliman. It was great! This was 1971!

[@patrickconroy8729]

Thanks for the view of the University!

[@piacash5216]

Hi ZANE WOW YOU VISITED MY OLD UNIVERSITY I STUDIED MY FIRST YEAR BEFORE I TRANSFERRED AND MIGRATED HERE IN THE USA….. THANKS FOR FEATURING IT SO I CAN SEE THE GLIMPSE OF HOW THEY LOOK NOW 👍👍👍👍👍👌🙌💕🖐️

[@lancecorporal7605]

UP was established by the American occupational government. Patterned after the Univ of California System...

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

The 1st place you went to is the Oblation Plaza. Then Quezon Hall the admin building. The open space is the Amphitheater. Thats where various open field events are held with the main one, the University Graduation ceremony in late July.

[@milliedeguzman3026]

ZANE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ALWAYS.... YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.. 🙏❤️

[@eddieboeing777]

cool! never knew UP diliman had a mall until you featured it on this vlog.

[@kdr7074]

Foreigners looks happier when they're in the Philippines. They smile and laugh more often.

[@estelalopez3563]

Im guessing foreigners dont like japan

[@ahmirdog26]

So funny mga Kababayan/Pinoy🤣🤣They were so Happy to see you.

[@aaron1983]

Thanks for the video! Hope you enjoyed our campus! That's the flagship campus of the state's university system. It was created during the American period after the US recommended to the Philippine Commission the creation of such a public university. The construction of the Diliman campus was initially funded by Americans as well, after World War II left our cities largely destroyed. :P Just a friendly tip: you can ask your Filipino friends for some tips on how to pronounce our words. And, mall videos are okay, we are a land of malls, you won't be able to avoid it! I think this is a good thing because having lived in the US for a year now, I miss the variety of food and shopping options - both local and international (US, European, Asian, Australian) brands and how they are so conveniently located and easily accessible. Also, CBTL is local for me, since... it's a US brand owned by a Philippine company - Jollibee! hehe. You can "avail", hehehehe so Filipino. 🤣🤣

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

The jeepneys are UP IKOT and UP TOKI. One goes clockwise, the other counter around the campus. Ikot means go around.

[@ralphs8858]

Cool mall! Never been to that one. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@senpintravelsandmore]

Watching and getting ready for our trip next month. Picking up a lot of great stuff from your vlogs. How do you handle walking around and not being bothered by anyone? I hope we can do the same. We've been told not to wander around by ourselves in Manila, that's why. I am in awe of you.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

I graduated there in 1993. We have many family members that are alumni of UP.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Where you asked how to get to the mall, on the right is Benitez Hall or College of Education. UP Integrated School is Elementary to Senior High School.

[@Oissst2012]

Nice to see you enjoying the Philippines 👍

[@vivicavids3486]

Hi Zane, very frustrating to see miscommunications happening, like when you were asking about chicharon if its pork normally and now your matcha drink. I think next time you can just return the drink and have them make you another one, it's not your fault.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

You did it Mr Zane!

[@latesthottest5063]

23:02 Hi there! If you happen to forget your membership card at Landers, don't worry! You can still access the store by presenting any form of identification to the customer service. They will provide you with a temporary pass so you can continue shopping. Just make sure to let them know that you are a member. Enjoy your shopping experience at Landers!

[@komentator9125]

28:00 Why you did not returned it? 230 php is still 230. Usually they will change it specially if you politely asked. Anyways, sorry that you experienced that.

[@deanalilio3930]

I'm from UPD. Not sure where Rodic's is right now (in my time it was at the old SC (Shopping Center) but its tapsilog is a must try! And also Mang Larry's isaw (chicken/pork intestines) is very popular (I love how they char it til crispy, and also their vinegar dip 🤤).

[@redfullmoon]

They have several branches already, they moved to the new Epsilon Chi Gym.

[@abolakeshowmustafa4279]

You should also visit University of Santo Tomas! one of the oldest University in the world, much older than Harvard.

[@ronnienestor]

I agree. I hope Zane listens. University of Santo Tomas has a different landscape and historical buildings.

[@efriendsf]

Agree. The ambience in the UST campus is very Oxford. The old buildings are preserved.

[@senpintravelsandmore]

Can a tourist access the campus at UST?

[@daniabellera7336]

UP Diliman campus it's like not the same as the regular gated university but it's more like an open community of collective different campuses and even have its own local barangay which is a small political territorial and administrative district forming the most local level of government. and considered as one of the biggest universities in the world in terms of land area

[@eatsmylifeYT]

One of the biggest in the world in terms of land area? Where did you get that information? Baka naman gawa-gawa mo lang yan?

[@artqq7425]

The legacy of the Americans to the Filipinos was EDUCATION. They established the Education System in the Philippines patterned after the US public school system. Hence, they built the University of the Pjilippines (UP) as a public school funded by the government. Until now, UP remains to be a STATE UNIVERSITY. Primary and secondary schools were also established. To operationalize the newly US - established Philippines' education system, 600 American teachers traveled from the US to the newly occupied territory of the Philippines on the U. S. ArmyTransport Thomas. The group included 346 men and 180 women, hailing from 43 different states and 193 colleges, universities, and normal schools. They arrived in the Philippines on August 21,1901, to established a new public school system, to teach basic education, and to train Filipino teachers, with English as the medium of instruction. On the other hand, the legacy of the Spaniards to the Filipinos was RELIGION/CHRISTIANITY. You can see century - old catholic churches in every town across the Philippines. Many were built as far back as in the 1500 - 1600

[@zanetravel]

Thank you for providing us with this knowledge! Very nice!

[@dlpro619]

The military matcha that you were complaining about was literally under the coffee bar section. But next time you have an issue just return it and ask for what you want. They more than likely will just chalk it up to not understanding you correctly. 👍🏽

[@roidoparomo]

but he literally asked the staff if it had coffee or not, and the staff said no, thus, the complaint.

[@alejandroguinto8462]

The back of the Admininstration bldg is a Amphi theatre where the place of the students graduation rite's

[@bluemarshall6180]

You should have tried the food hub inside the campus and have a chat with the students. Perhaps next time in a cool good weather. 28:43 college women's basketball.

[@pektowanderlust]

My university. NIce to see it again.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Thats the Sunken Garden. Many play there in the afternoon.

[@Spy-hp8ki]

I didn't study in U.P. Diliman, but at Silliman University, Negros Oriental. Yes, that U.P. is the Philippines' biggest university. But, back to Silliman, it's one of the top 10 Philippine universities. The only Protestant university in the Philippines, founded by American missionaries, and granted $10,000.00 from Dr. Horace B. Silliman, located in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Carles Iloilo - you can go to Islas Gigantes group of islands

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

The Sunken Garden is aka Gen Antonio Luna Parade Grounds

[@richardnuevo]

I'm a product of a prestigious State University under a government funded scholarship but how i wish i had my education from a Catholic School. San Beda University, Colegio de San Juan de Letran and the University of Santo Tomas are like dreams for me. Poor students have less choices i guess.

[@jojojojo-bt6sd]

on the other hand, a big number of catholic school students wants to study in UP because of its repute and cheap tuition, but couldn't, despite having enough financial means. fact is, the world is unfair

[@pilord953]

I just graduated from UP yesterday!

[@brianstarfire]

sorry about the coffee,. i think you could have gone back and let them know. i enjoyed the video. thanks!

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Where you had cheese sticks is Gonzalez Hall or the Main Library

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Youre correct Zane, UP Diliman is a community of professors, students, non teaching personnel, etc

[@swissypoo]

I am a UP Diliman graduate (BA Philosophy) batch 1987 (I'm 54 now but live in the USA. Have 2 homes in SF Bay Area & Marblehead MA). Zane, you could have returned the matcha/coffee and they should have given you a replacement or a refund. Don't hesitate to return products that you are not satisfied with or if you did not get what you asked for. The Philippines has one of the best customer service practices in the world.

[@marichuarmodia2375]

Wow huge university in the Philippines

[@bonghopeful3836]

I used to do biking there at weekends, missed that place😢

[@Hehehexe]

love your content man

[@dlpro619]

You’re correct chicharones are fried pork skin or cracklings. Thats why the version you ate was vegan. She didnt understand your question. 😊

[@antigraftandcorruption5849]

UP is an American university established during the US occupation in 1908

[@floren879]

Awesome 👏great vids!

[@jomeckds8833]

that mall is an ayala mall. although it sits on UP property, it is already outside of the main campus area

[@usersubscriberSC]

The site of Ayala Mall used to be UP High School.

[@lukasloh2509]

It is being rented from UP. UP is not allowed to sell part of the academic campus bec it is a govt property. Same with other state Univ. This is to help UP with their budget. Same is done in PUP Sta. mesa. They rented out a parcel of land in their campus.

[@jeremyg_93]

I love your vlogs!

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Thats the statue of the ladies that made the Philippine Flag. You are now in the Lagoon area.

U ate something that I never saw, it's the vegetarian version. The chicharron is pork skin. Boiled in water and then fried.But I wonder if it tastes the same as the meat version????

[@rac23ph]

I forgot or missed out in your previous vloggings if you already visited The American Cemetery in BGC

[@piacash5216]

He Has a Video of The American Cemetery Already The First Time He. Came To The Philippines…✌️✌️✌️

[@stringtokenizer1443]

500 pesos Grab from BGC to UP Diliman is very unfair and absurd. Grab literally have the monopoly since Uber left Southeast Asia. If you'd take public transport it would cost you less than 100pesos but unfortunately it wont be that of a smooth experience on weekdays and on rush hours. But on weekends like this, it would be the perfect choice. Hopefully the situation would get better when the new train lines get completed, but that's not until 2028 to 2029. Once completed, you could take the Manila subway in BGC, then exit at Quezon avenue station of the subway. There's another line under construction though, the MRT-7 and would have station right there in the UP Diliman. Sure from BGC subway, it has a connecting point to the MRT-7 but I don't know yet where exactly is that. My guess is at North Avenue in Quezon City.

[@KMDworks]

FACT: University of the Philippines in Los Baños, Laguna is the biggest/largest campus in all UP System and in the entire Philippines.

[@darrellcredo1991]

How old are you, Zane? Seems like we're of the same age.

[@imeldago2519]

Are you back in the Philippines Zane?

[@LouellaAlonzo]

UP in Quezon City. Don’t just say Quezon. Because there’s a Quezon Province. And they are separate places.

[@richardpitan800]

I am confused, you went to a coffee shop and ordered something without coffee, why even go there? What do you want exactly?
