[edit] Culture, sports and traditions The Diliman community is sometimes called the Diliman Republic and a "microcosm of the Philippines". It is the only university in Metro Manila that has its own jeepney transportation owing to its size. The university also has a congressional franchise to operate two radio stations (AM and FM) and a television station. The university only operates DZUP 1602, a community AM radio station. The campus encompasses residential areas and students often feel a sense of solidarity with the community residents. It is monitored by the local U.P. Police. U.P. Diliman represents the U.P. System at the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) and participates in all events. The Fighting Maroons have consistently placed in the top three in the overall points race of the UAAP for the past several years. Two of the most-awaited events in the campus are the Lantern Parade, held on the last week before the Christmas break, and the U.P. Fair, held every February. During the Lantern Parade, groups within the University create Christmas lanterns and floats and parade around the Academic Oval. The U.P. Fair, organized by the UP Diliman University Student Council, is a week-long event held at the Sunken Garden that features nightly music concerts, booths, and amusement park rides. [edit] Centers of Excellence and DevelopmentThe Diliman campus of the U.P. System holds the distinction of having the most Centers of Excellence (COEs) and Centers of Development (CODs) among the country's educational institutions. [9] The current COEs/CODs in the University are as follows:
