DIY Manila heritage tour: University of Santo Tomas
The last stop in our Manila field trip was at the Philippines' oldest university: the University of Santo Tomas. I visited the university previously as a resource speaker in a seminar. But it's during this field trip when I was able to take some time to really see the exterior in a relaxed pace. It also helped that Krishna, Shiela, and Herlyn are all connected to the school as alumnae and as a current student. Listening to them talk about their school gave another perspective... it gave the campus a more human feel to it. They talked about student traditions, jokes, and urban legends. It was so similar to UPLB students talking about the "never-ending bridge" and the mysterious statue of Mariang Banga.
As we wound our campus tour to a close, our UST friends brought us to a monument that features the likeness of Piolo Pascual and Charlene Muhlach. Not sure what the monument was all about, but I'm sure it means something significant for its students.
