UPCAT 2027 Volunteers Struggle with Joggers, Bikers During Academic Oval Closure
During the two-day UPCAT 2027 examination period, UP Diliman’s Academic Oval is temporarily closed to the public, and volunteers are encountering difficulties managing joggers and bikers who attempt to enter the restricted area. The closure affects a popular community recreation space, disrupting daily exercise routines for QC residents, while highlighting coordination challenges for a major national exam. The Academic Oval closure spans the two UPCAT testing days; volunteers are stationed at entry points to redirect joggers and bikers to alternative routes such as the UP Arboretum or nearby streets.
