MANILA – Twenty nine students are set to graduate with the highest Latin honors at the University of the Philippines (UP) Dilman this coming Sunday, July 25.

With the theme “Kanlungan,” the graduation rites will be the second ceremony in the century-long history of the university to be done virtually because of the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

In a post on its Facebook page on Monday, UP Diliman introduced its 29 summa cum laude graduates from various colleges of the university.

Due to the pandemic, this year's admission process was conducted without the UPCAT, one of the toughest college entrance exams taken by over 100,000 applicants annually.

Instead, the state university assessed applicants based on their high school records.
