When students from UP Tacloban came to cross-register in UP Diliman in the aftermath of Yolanda Typhoon in November 2013 so many enrolled in our courses that Sociology 101 had to open a new section to accommodate the large number.
Through a collaboration with the Tiklop Society of the Philippines, students in that section handled by Prof. Gina Gatarin were issued bikes that they can use around the sprawling Diliman campus. Aside from the bike and helmet donations, biking safety and skills training were given by Tiklop society shorty before they students pedaled off in the campus.
Earlier, students were also linked to avail assistance from the Office of Student Housing through its director, Prof. Gerry Lanuza.
