UPgrade. UPgrade.

WE EXIST. The UPMin exists. People may not care to notice the existence of the University of the Philippines in Mindanao, but we exist not only to exist, we exist because we excel.

(too many "exists")

I am not a good writer, partially because what I see is seemingly too perfect for words to describe. I am not a good speaker for what I feel is tantamount to what is beyond human expression.

What I just wanted to point out is that what others see may not always be what they mean.
That's just too vague. But see, UP Mindanao is beyond any false judgments bitter people have.
We are the best. And I am not hesitant to say that, because truly, I say, UP Mindanao upholds excellence.

You may find no relevance for me to brag this and talk publicly about this but I just wanted to release all my sentiments. If you find no right for the UPMin to exist, think about your school, I mean, how could you possibly exist in the first place?

UP Mindanao is not at the center of the city, you ask why? We just find no fancy of situating at the heart of it and going to malls while skipping classes. We are not that airhead to do so. But being at the "bukid" (if that's what you want to call it) is not like we are living at the Paleolithic Age, if you say so VTN & TQD. Our microscopes are at the ratio 1:1, we have wi-fi all over the campus, our professors have Ph.D.'s in different international universities, our chancellor is a pioneer in plant physiology researches and we are the champions (or finalists) in different national quiz bees and contests (and everything nice).

VTN & TQD: Before you judge UPMin, think about your school first because you might end up choking with your own words. Don't ever ridicule us again because you are not in the position to do that after all. That's just so mediocre darling. Watch your mouth, it does not say anything good. Look inside your brain, it seems to be like a balloon, so cute and pumped with JUST air- nothing more.
