Narra Residence Hall is a legendary and typical refuge known to be the craziest, funniest and wackiest sanctuary for all UP students (referred to as Isko and Iska) who go for affordable lodging while making waves in the premiere flagship campus.

Narra's atmosphere is conducive to shouting, heckling, bullying, antagonism, word wars, studies, religiosity, liberty, arts, sciences and wait, there's more stuffs to fuel both akadz (scholastic) and extra curricular undertaking of its occupants, among others.

Which is why Narra brags its famous alumni who are products of national heritage, pride of the Malayan race. Now, the sons of Narra are regarded as sublime geniuses and experts in their own craft.

Immediately after its birth in the early post-war 50's, Narra started to operate and became home away from home in the Diliman campus. It had 88 original residents, a house parent and two utility staff.

Once there was only one building constructed till sooner, buildings 2, 3 and 4 were completed, accommodating more students. Population grew as years go by, indelible marks in the pages of history graded by Narra's unique traditions, culture and glory that blossom through time.

A dwelling place of the famous and unsung who came from different provinces across the nation, the year 1953 saw a grand start for a spirited home which gives life to the UP community.

Thus, the simple and elegant, rich and poor, strong and weak came together as one to shape what is now UP's academic freedom - a blueprint which is untouched, ignited by Narrehans and friends - true to utter wisdom and true to form and substance.

Narra was baptized in the 1950s as UP Men's South Dormitory since it stood south of the national university. Later on, the Office of Student Affairs passed a board resolution, unanimously approved by the administration and regency to rename it Mayon Residence Hall. Mayon is a prominent volcano, the world's perfect cone, a first class tourist destination in the Bicolandias.

A one-storey building exclusively for gay and straight male students, Narra borders to the eastern parcels of Educ (College of Education). During the dark years of martial law, the landscape had changed as fast as lightning. Narra coddled women and most of them were graduate students.

Narra which releases seductive, electrifying and horny noises had literally rose to stardom. While on the south is CHE (College of Home Economics), situated in the north is Wenceslao Vinzons Hall, where the student body (university student council office) positions itself.

Narra's four L contour forms a square block, the hub of which features an orchard, a garden of flowering plants, trees and ornaments, and a green quadrangle. Annually, this quadrangle witnessed main attraction of exciting events like Bufoe cup, beauty pageants, tournaments and other shows.

Day after day when it was still sprouting, Narra, little by little, in various subtle, evolved into a place of physical exercises and exciting games like basketball, badminton, table tennis, chess, volleyball, karate and arnis. Every unit has its communal wash room. Five main reading and study rooms are provided, but in every room there are four mini study rooms.

A widely decked receiving lobby gives the dormers a place to receive their guests. After all, Narra has a spacious TV Area, Information Counter, a Conference Room and Office of the Dormitory Manager and Assistant Houseparent to sound out.

Prior to its collapse, Narra boasts its receiving (and poorly ventilated?) dining hall on the west end of which residents and students from the nearby colleges took in.

At presstime, Narra (which housed three hundred forty students) has been shut down. Gone were the four wings which gave life to simple rooms. Gone were Narra's overcast ambiance, bed, mattress, wall locker, individual study table, study lamp and a wall mirror. But the spirit of Narra lives on.
