was a unanimous decision |
The University of the
Philippines Alumni Association(UPAA) would bring back the "Bells
of Diliman" for the University's 2008 Centennial Celebration.
Thus, during the 92nd Alumni Homecoming in June 2005, the UPAA
Board of Directors officially launched the U.P. Carillon Restoration
Project.
The Project Committee set two main objectives. First, to restore the campanile,
its tower and surroundings. This involves technical evaluations, fund raising,
actual repairs, and replacements, and the landscaping of the immediate
environs. The second goal is to institutionalize the Carillon's operation
and maintenance. Aside from preserving the bells' musicality and the physical
upkeep, this includes maintaning scholarships to ensure the availability
of a steady pool of well-trained carillonneurs.
The undertaking is enormous in both its scope and expense. The initial
estimate for the project's completion is twenty million pesos. But UPAA
is confident that the Carillon bells will be ringing in December 2008.
After all, it has the backing of the University's greatest resource - its
tens of thousands of U.P. Alumni. |
