On September 17, 2026, the UP Asian Institute of Tourism (AIT) Seminar Room was filled with sharp minds and a shared passion for learning and exploration during Trivia Night: Ready, Set, Lakbay! Organized by the UP AIT Freshies, Shiftees, and Transferees (FST) Council as part of Tourism Month 2026, the event brought together students currently enrolled in Tour 102: World Tourism for a game of trivia night that puts their knowledge of world geography, global attractions, flags, and currencies to the test.

Teams of three took on three progressive rounds of fast-paced trivia questions, culminating in an awarding ceremony.
Beyond the excitement of competition, Trivia Night: Ready, Set, Lakbay! stood out in its role in honoring Tourism Month by transforming lessons into an interactive experience that emphasized the impact of travel. Furthermore, the event provided a welcoming space for FSTs to collaborate and connect, which served as a fitting tribute to Tourism Month by celebrating global travel, academic knowledge, and critical thinking.

27/09/2026

Since the year 1980, World Tourism Day has been observed yearly every September 27. This date was chosen in line with the anniversary of the adoption of the UN Tourism Statues. Moreover, it also coincides with the tourism seasons of the northern and southern hemispheres, with the former reaching its end and the latter marking its beginning.

World Tourism Day aims to raise awareness regarding the contribution of tourism towards global development as well as its impact on socio-cultural, economic, and political aspects. It echoes the significance of tourism specifically in employment and livelihood, culture and heritage preservation, local community engagement, sustainable practices, and a future-oriented mindset.

Focusing on this year's theme of "Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence to Redesign Tourism", it sheds light onto the involvement of technological advancement in tourism. While we transition towards Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence as a tool for tourism, it also begs the question of just how much will we allow such tools to redesign "our" tourism?

Within the Philippines, technological advancement plays a vital role in streamlining operations, enhancing tourist experiences, and destination management. However, such a smart form of hospitality increases reliance on intelligent automations that can lead to job displacement and reduced human interactions which is one of the most important elements in the industry.

In addition, faced with efforts and a budget that downplays the contributions of the industry, there remains a challenge of having a tourism network that covers and connects the entire archipelago. There is also the obstacle of having the necessary skills to operate such advanced innovations and the capacity to implement them.

Dito sa Linangan ng Turismo sa Asya, responsibilidad ng mga Tagapagtaguyod ng Turismo na isulong ang pambansang turismo na makapag-aangat sa taumbayan. Ating gamitin ang digital agenda at artificial intelligence para patuloy na ipakita at ipreserba ang ating mga pamana at kultura upang masaksihan ng mas malawak na grupo ng mga tao at para maipasa ang identidad nating mga Pilipino sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Hindi nararapat na gamitin ang mga ito para sa personal na interes o yaman habang isinasawalang-bahala ang kapakanan ng nakararami.

Ang turismo ay isang behikulo para sa pag-unlad ng bansa kung kaya't sama-sama tayong tuminding para sa tamang paggamit sa digital agenda at artificial intelligence na tunay na magsisilbing kinatawan ng mga maiaalok ng turismo sa Pilipinas.

On September 21, 1972, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. declared Martial Law which led to one of the most infamous eras in Philippine History. Declared through Proclamation No. 1081 wherein he cited communist threats and Islamic insurgencies as justification albeit actually consolidating absolute executive, legislative, and judicial power under a single entity.

In the name of creating a "New Society," rather than reform and stability, the country faced violations of human rights, arbitrary arrests, and a vast amount of unnecessary torture and unjust killings. Moreover, during his dictatorship, the media as well as public criticisms were silenced and information was strictly controlled which gave him the power to distort truth in accordance to his will.

With Marcos Sr. and his cronies shamelessly trampling over the rights of their constituents, they also managed to have the nerve to steal billions of pesos from the public funds. The dictator alongside his wife and family managed to fund their luxurious lives through ill-gotten wealth. Such rampant and blatant acts of corruption further contributed to the country's demise, with worsened poverty and widened economic disparity.

The incidents during Martial Law opened the eyes of the Filipinos and led to dissatisfaction and a negative public sentiment towards Marcos Sr., sparking the struggle of the people to fight against dictatorship and despotism. As such, September 21 is also considered as the UP Day of Remembrance as proclaimed by UP President Danilo Concepcion in 2018. This commemorates the involvement of the University of the Philippines in championing academic freedom, democracy, and human rights during martial law and in the years that followed.

Ngayong ika-54 taon mula ng maideklata ang Martial Law, makikita pa rin ang bakas ng mga katiwalian mula sa diktadura ni Marcos Sr. Hindi dapat kalimutan ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan at Tagapagtaguyod ng Turismo kung paano tayo inabuso at ninakawan ng administrasyong Marcos noon at Marcos ngayon. Sa pagharap ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas sa budget cut na halos kalahati ng iminungkahing badyet, ang parehong korap na pamamalakad ay patuloy tayong ninanakawan hindi lamang ng pera kundi pati na rin ng dekalidad at aksesibleng edukasyon na para sa lahat.

Walang makalilimot hangga't lahat ng sangkot ay hindi nananagot!
Pondo sa edukasyon, hindi sa pasismo at korapsyon!
