original post from FB's Overheard at UP page... astig! =)
Dr. Jose Dalisay: "You're in UP 'cause you can think and speak for yourselves by your own wits and on your own two feet. And you can do so no matter what the rest of the people in the room may be thinking. You're in UP 'cause no one can tell you to shut up if you have something sensible and vital to say. You're in UP 'cause you dread not the poverty of material comforts but the poverty of the mind. And you're in UP 'cause you care about something abstract and sometimes as treacherous as the idea of a "nation", even if it kills you."
