Fashion show to highlight UP’s Con-Ass stand

THE University of the Philippines Cebu College will conduct its annual activity called rampahan on Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. at the UP-Cebu grounds.

The rampahan activity or fashion show is a venue where students wear clothes that can express their stand on the constituent assembly or Con Ass, this year's rampahan theme.

Ana Coritha Desamparado, president of the UP Student Council, said they decided to have “Con Ass” as this year’s Rampahan theme since this is the hottest issue today.

Desamparado said the school organizations picked Con Ass over the other themes proposed, including reproductive health and 2010 election.

Grace Guiang, a fourth year Mass Communication student and the segment head of Rampahan, said aside from Con Ass, Rampahan will also tackle other issues relevant to the country.

Jayve Catubay, a sophomore Mass Communication student and a representative of the UP Students Theater Arts Guild for Education (Upstage) for this year’s Rampahan, said “I decided to join Rampahan to further my knowledge on Con Ass and to see the different interpretations of the students on the issue.”

Catubay said joining the fashion show challenges her to be more creative in terms of choosing which clothes to wear that may reflect their individual stand on Con Ass.

“Participating organizations will be given two minutes to present their respective views on Con Ass through rampahan,” Guiang said.

Aside from Rampahan, other activities lined up are the cookout and the band, singing and dancing contests.

The Cookout is organized by the senior Mass Communication students, the UP Student Council and the Organizations of UP.
