Ayala Center knows this and it doesn’t allow rock concerts unless they have Mayor Binay’s MAPSA and the whole Southern Police Dist. Anti-Riot operatives committed.

In the past, UP’s rock concerts were held in the gym, where gatecrashers can be easily repelled leaving the rest of the main fair activities at the Sunken Garden secure and safe. Better, avoid a pure-rock concert. Throw in a few R&B, Pop, or jazz acts if you want it mixed in the main fair grounds. The punks hate the mix they’d just leave you alone.

That’s how we did it in the 80′s.

ang organizers ng friday the 13th concert that failed to break, rather deepened, the curse: PAN XENIA FRATERNITY, ADELFE ENU CREA SORORITY, UP CURSOR, and UP CIRCUIT.

“The PAN XENIA FRATERNITY is the first and only business fraternity in the Philippines. It is an international honorary fraternity dedicated to the promotion of interests in foreign trade and the establishment of higher standards and ideals of business ethics. The Mother Chapter was founded on May 7, 1919 at the State University of George Washington (now Washington State University ) in Seattle, Washington while the Philippine Alpha Chapter was inaugurated in the University of the Philippines on September 23, 1923.

“For a fraternity, at that the second oldest fraternity in the Philippines, and thus far without any record of rumbles, Pan Xenia Fraternity has stood out particularly because of its members. They include businessmen, statesmen, academicians—people who have excelled in different fields bonded together in a spirit of fellowship, goodwill, and adherence to the Four Cardinal Virtues.

“The ADELFE ENU CREA SORORITY is the first and only business sorority in the University of the Philippines. It is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the academe, most especially in business.

“The sorority evolved from the Pan Xenia Ladies’ Corps, an auxiliary arm of the Pan Xenia Fraternity and was founded on April 2, 1991. AEC aims to develop business ethics, discipline and civic-consciousness through the initiation of various projects and activities.

“Guided by its five cardinal virtues, the past 18 years has enabled the Adelfe Enu Crea Sorority to have members who excelled in various fields such as business and media. At present, AEC continues to fulfill its goals through industry, integrity and ability.

“In less than three decades, an organization made up of young and bright minds rise to be on top of their broods. Since 1983, the Association of Computer Science Majors (UP CURSOR) has proven that computers can be fun and studying them was even better!

“UP CURSOR is a non-profit, non–sectarian, socio–academic group recognized as the only computer science organization in UP. But if you think it is all programming and web designing for us, you are wrong. We know how to have fun amidst MP deadlines and problem sets. Though most of us love computers, we also had diverse interests and hobbies. We play lots of sports, do some jamming and have fun like every normal Engineering students.

“UP CIRCUIT is a University-recognized, department-based academic organization for and by the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) students.

“In academic year 1993-1994, a group of students founded an organization to cater to the newly created courses of Electronics and Communications Engineering and Computer Engineering as the students’ response to a bigger and more dynamic EEE department. Fifteen years later, UP Circuit is the veritable force shaping the history of the bigger and more dynamic Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) Department.”
