Hindi 'yan kasya. I'm also from UPD and I don't dorm kasi my family home is 15 mins away from campus lang. My allowance is 5k monthly but I also started working online recently lang para makaipon and buy ng wants.
At 5k monthly, your 100k will last you only a year and 8 months. Assuming na hindi kasama ang rent sa 5k na 'yan like I do, there's still A LOT that you need to sacrifice to make this work.
Lunch in between classes? Yeah, good luck with that. You're looking at weekly pancit canton combo meals para ma-maximize mo 'yung monthly allowance mo. Tapos hindi ka mabubusog.
Forget wanting to even occasionally party with your friends in Pop Up or even kahit sa KNL or dorm inom lang, you won't be able to afford it. Actually, you won't be able to afford ANY social events para hindi ka maubusan by the end of the month.
Don't stop saving money. In my experience, maraming downtime sa campus lalo na kapag matagal 'yung wait time mo in between classes. Just continue saving and budget your income well. You're already at a way better spot that most of your peers.

DOST is about 5k monthly
8k monthly just from food.
2k monthly for fun
10k monthly for rent + utilities (assuming own bedroom, KNL area)
4k monthly for grocery + laundry
1.5k commute (jeep, emergencies, etc)
You are looking at -19.5k balance monthly if you are going for your current lifestyle
Suggestion:
2.5k - centennial dorm
6k - food
1k - laundry only
1k - walk more
______
Net of -5.5k monthly, manageable for part time work
