[edit] Culture, Sports, and Traditions
The Diliman community, humorously called the Diliman Republic and a "microcosm of the Philippines" has a unique culture among the universities in the country. It is the only university in Metro Manila that has its own extensive system of jeepney transportation owing to its huge size. The university also has a congressional franchise to operate two radio stations (AM and FM) and a television station. Currently, the university only operates DZUP 1602, a community AM radio station. The campus encompasses many residential areas and students often feel a sense of solidarity with the community residents. It is monitored by the local U.P. Police.
U.P. Diliman represents the U.P. System at the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and participates in all events. The Fighting Maroons have consistently placed in the top three in the overall points race of the UAAP for the past several years.
Two of the most-awaited events in the campus are the Lantern Parade, held on the last week before the Christmas break, and the U.P. Fair, held every February. During the Lantern Parade, various groups within the University create Christmas lanterns and floats and parade around the Academic Oval. The U.P. Fair, organized by the University Student Council, is a week-long event held at the Sunken Garden that features nightly music concerts, booths, and amusement park rides.

The university has produced 7 of 14 presidents, 12 chief justices of the Supreme Court, 30 of 31 national scientists and 36 of 57 national artists, and an estimated 250,000 alumni (15,000 doctors, 8,000 lawyers and 23,000 teachers).[7] Fernando Javier, 100, of Baguio City, oldest UP alumnus (Civil Engineering from University of the Philippines, Manila, 1933), carried the 100-torch relay at the UP academic oval in Diliman, Quezon City. The 99th torchbearer was Michael Reuben Dumlao, youngest, a 6-grader from the University of the Philippines Integrated School in U.P. Diliman. UP president Emerlinda Roman, first woman president, carried the 100th torch and ignited the centennial cauldron in the UP Oblation.[8] The cauldron featured 3 pillars representing the core values of Excellence, Leadership, and Service and 7 flowers representing the constituent universities, to wit, UP Manila, UP Diliman (together with UP Pampanga, its extension campus), UP Los Baños, UP Baguio, UP Visayas, UP Mindanao, and UP Open University.[9]
