Arki Week 2008

I would just like to add something to the invitation below...

IBALIK NINYO SA ARKI PARTY ANG MGA ARKI BANDS! During our time in the 90s there would be bands playing all night long, bands coming from the various organizations, as well as those from outside of the college. Ibalik ang kultura ng rakrakan sa UP Arki!

Thank you. :-)
