The Main Building where you talked to the security guard is earthquake proof. You should have seen the museum inside that building. The chairs used by visiting Popes are exhibited there. Every time a Pope visits the Philippines, He always visits UST. On the other hand, the mini park your mentioned is called the Rosarium where the mysteries of the Holy Rosary are each represented by those pillars. Now, since it is a Catholic university, every 12noon and 6PM, the Angelus is being recited as the church bells ring. Everyone stops while saying the Angelus prayer. There is also the 3 O'Clock Habit where the Divine Mercy prayer is recited by everyone. You missed visiting the UST Chapel, the UST Central Library, UST Central Laboratory, the UST Seminary, the swimming pool, the printing press, the UST Graduate School, the Research Center, the Quadricentennial Pavilion where our modern basketball arena is housed as well as other sports rooms. Also, the Beato building where the UST College of Architecture and College of Fine Arts and Design are located. 4 out of 6 National Artists for Architecture are all UST Graduates/Thomasians. Across the campus, along Espana boulevard, the UST Senior High School 22 storey building is being constructed to accomodate the huge volume of senior high school students then a private bridge will connect it to the main campus. Visit the campus at night and see the beautiful lights. By the way, the university is named after St. Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican priest, the Patron Saint of all Catholic Schools.
@@FlyingKell visit it again. I teach there, you even passed by ou building several times in your video, haha. Come again during our Paskuhan on December 20, 2019. Check You Tube videos of past UST Paskuhan including the grand fireworks display.
Air Cherinsuk I hope you will be a Thomasian one day, Ako nga Gr 8 pa ako pangarap ko na mag aral sa UST kasi maganda daw yung education doon kaya GO USTE 💛🐯
awww.... I wanted to go there too. I think I'm very lucky that I got a scholarship. Why don't you try the scholarship exams too? Hope someday you'll be successful and your children
The University of Santo Tomas is probably the most beautiful looking university in the Philippines. I love the beautifully laden greens and the old buildings look magnificent.
So true. It has the best campus map too. Everything is at the right place. And the entire campus is one single giant square. But UP Diliman also has great plan design. Ateneo de Manila has the most confusing. And plenty of void spaces
Just my opinion (because of the uni colors and other things I've seen from their uni culture and spirit): UST is Hufflepuff UP is Gryffindor ATENEO is Ravenclaw DLSU is Slytherin
Thanks for visiting my Alma Mater. I studied and graduated in that university. I am just happy that one European dude appreciated the oldest University in Asia. I’m now living in Canada and likes to visit other parts of Europe after this Covid 19 crisis. Keep it up. Stay Safe.
Central Library - you'll need permission, ID and minimal fee to get a visitor's ID. If you love the feeling of being on a library filled with old books and using a traditional way of looking for books, then you definitely need to see the CL. Well, there are computers at the ground where you can do your initial search but that was lowtech before I graduated. Anyway, a whole day is not enough to appreciate all 6 floors (if I remember it correctly). Museum - this is the tricky part, there's only a day and time that it is open, but calling their office or going through information first wouldn't hurt. Trust me, the well preserved genetically mutated and deformed species there are worth seeing. Relic - yes, just like the relic of DLSU, but I think during special occasions only. It is placed on a somewhat secret place (I've only been there once so I can't even recall now how we got there during our freshmen tour). But of course, calling the office and information is always the key 😊 I'm not sure how much of these have changed and if all of what I have mentioned are still intact or if it is still there. But really worth your time visiting if they still are.
I am from India and studied in Phillipines... I went once to University of Santo Tomas to take may NMAT exam... It's a very big university ❤️❤️❤️... Due to this pandemic, I am at my home... I hope to come again at Phillipines at the soonest 🙏🙏🙏...
All of you guys are talking about the fact he featured UST but i am here freaking out about the fact that he was the foreigner I saw during my walk by the river that sepreates Mandaluyong and makati HAHAHAHA
You would make a great world ambassador for understanding, tolerance, love and peace. Having studied in three continents, and have been traveling around the world, you are one embodiment of diplomacy to reckon with. Hat's off.
after 2 years of uploading this video, i still watch it. it's 'cause almost 6 years ago, we moved out of the philippines. right after i graduated grade 6. i was also planning on going to UST because my brother used to go there as well. so i always get a happy and sad feeling every time i watch this video. happy because i can see that UST didn't change much compared to the last time i see it (hopefully it still looks the same now) but also sad because i was so ready to go to that school but we had to move to england :(((
You also visited the campus during the 2nd semester where most of the students are already wearing their Typ B uniforms. Type A is the formal one, worn during the first semester 'til before Ash Wednesday. Then after that, it's Type B so students are more comfortable during the summer season. You can distinguish the different colleges including junior and senior high thru their uniforms.
5:06 It's called arnis... It's the national martial art of the Philippines, It's basically like kendo but the sticks are shorter, and you could either use 1 or 2 sticks.
I like how this vlogger speaks. He sounds so smart and cool. I also appreciate you touring us on UST coz i never have been there yet. New subscriber here.
I like your style of doing your vlogs. Very informative, you’re funny to watch that makes the video watching more interesting. I haven’t been inside the campus , and thanks for the interesting tour. From Jacksonville, Florida USA 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Wattpadian spotted 😂 Same here, bud. I always remember ILYS1892 everytime I see an arch, even it is not located in UST😂 Especially when I m in intramuros, gosh, the feeling was just too intensed and sad and painful. Try to read the painful scenes in ILYS1892 while you're in intramuros, it was so heartbreaking. :(
I'm proud to be a UST alumni, so much have changed since I graduated. Hopefully, I can visit and see the changes when I go back again to the Philippines. 👍👍👍
Watching this video makes me proud to be a Thomasian (students of UST)!! At the other side of the hospital (I don't know if you went there and just didn't vlog, or didn't go there because of how tiring it might have been to walk around the campus under that sun), there's a new building for Senior High School students, a small gymnasium, a grandstand, and a swimming pool!! Also, near where the students are having their entrepreneurship, there's a large library that is four floors high if I'm not mistaken. The main building (the one where you talked to the guard) has a museum inside!! Really glad that you took the time to explore our university and our culture
I'm a 1992 UST graduate and now living in the USA. I'm amazed by the great changes already happened in that uni. What a nostalgia! Thanks for this vlog 👍
What an interesting video. I'm from Australia and this is so different but the architecture is really beautiful. It's so nice to see so much green on campus. Love your vlogs and your positive energy. Can't wait for more flying with flying Kell ✈️
Thank you for youtubing UST, where my medical studies started, brought back memories, I spent a lot of time in the pavilion at 10:00 video marker. For that I give you a like and hit subscribe in gratitude.
China has Kung Fu. Korea has Taekwondo. Japan has Judo. The Philippines has Kali. That's what those students are practicing. Those sticks are suppose to come in pairs. It's a native martial arts using rattan sticks of about 2.5 feet long.
That ancient martial arts is Arnis, with modifications like two sticks, stick and knife, double bolos, karambit (kali). Used by the Phil armed forces for close combat and adopted by armed forces in other parts of the world due to its effectiveness..
I just googled the First university of Spain and it was University of Salamanca😊 Maybe... the UST should be the first university outside of Spain by Spain.
@@inspiredbyclaire7219 Yes, the guard literally said: "You know, this is the first university of Spain ... The first university of Spain is out of Spain .. and in the Philippines ... and it was located in the Philippines." He didn't say "the first university of Spain outside Spain."
I agree, and the guard made it clear over and over again that it was UST is the first university of Spain. Check out the About and History section of the Salamanca University website: www.salamanca-university.org/Salamanca-University.htm. But it is safe to say that UST is the oldest university in Asia. www.ust.edu.ph/about/history/#:~:text=Miguel%20de%20Benavides%2C%20O.P.,world%20in%20a%20single%20campus.
10:38 I love watching the fountain show there every noon ❤️ It get prettier during paskuhan every December when UST would decorate the whole place with lights and the huge christmas tree at the main field
This is so cool. I remember a friend of mine asked me if we have universitites in the Philippines. I smiled and said, We have. In fact our university parking lot is bigger than you entire campus. 😂😂.
Hi! I am one of the alumnus of University of Santo Tomas. Thanks for featuring my alma mater. Oh how I miss it. Btw UST is also a Pontifical University where the Pope is the honorary head. In fact, three Popes visited UST namely Paul VI, John Paul II and most recently Pope Francis.
Arnis also known as Kali/Eskrima is the Filipino martial arts that is weapon based fighting using sticks, knives and bladed weapons. That was what the group you saw doing
@@moondust2365 it was native in the philippines that has been incorporated by some other martial arts, i.g fencing and silat. It's like grabbing some ideas from your professor and you innovate and bring out the best. Eskrima was the best martial arts when it comes to hand to hand combat and weaponry...
Arnis is being practiced in some universities in the US. They recognize it as Filipino martial arts. Though nunchuks originated in Japan, it was Filipino Dan Inosanto who taught the legendary Bruce Lee "chako" (to Filipinos) and became good friends.
FUN FACT: UST was founded in 1611 but became university in 1645. University of San Carlos ( USC) in Cebu City was founded in 1595 but only became a university in 1948.
I believe it has been contested by the historians that USC cannot be a university because ita has changed its name many times. Not just partly but its whole name. Correct me if I am wrong but if I remember correctly, it was originally established as a hospital in 16th century not as a school unlike UST.
James Erold Potente Gatinao it was a seminary. And yes , it was handled by a different administration before it was bought by the SVD. So it did not really have that continuity of some sort.
it has been contested several times, USC could not prove a direct lineage from the school founded in cebu in 1595. So UST is still the OLDEST TERTIARY INSTITUTION in the Philippines.
I subscribed because of this amazing video. i didn't know that UST's campus is that huge and has a commercial complex. This vlog is so informative for a mom like me who is looking for a university for her child.
Thanks for the free tour. I'm Filipino but I might not be able to see the historic and beauty of UST in my whole life. I never knew UST is this big, great, and amusing. I'm in awe.
The original location of UST was in Intramuros but was transferred. To appreciate Manila more (specially Old Manila, you need to understand its past. Manila was once know as "pearl of the orient" and "paris of asia" due to its beautiful architecture. Until 1945 when it was devastated by war. It was the second most devastated city after Warsaw in Poland. But unlike Warsaw, Manila was never revived to its former glory. To have a glimpse of the past, try visiting a facebook page called "Bring Back The Old Beauty of Manila" and try too look at the pinned post which is a compilation of photos showing why it was once the envy of the far east. I would even go far to say that Manila would rival Tokyo and Bangkok in terms of cultural built heritage if not for the war. Aside from UST being the oldest university in Asia and even north America (older than harvard), it had the first suspension bridge (like the golden gate bridge, but not as glamorous) in Asia, first to implement a Tranvia public transport, public education system as ordered by Queen Isabel II of Spain, and more. Basically, Manila was lagging behind Europe, but often is first in Asia on some aspects. Such pride and glory is now being marred by rampant corruption and poverty, but most importantly, the lack of appreciation by a typical Filipino to our culture, history, and heritage. Unfortunately, the only thing that makes me love Manila is the hope that Filipinos (specially Manileños) can once bring it back to its former glory. From the 7 churches of intramuros, to the american art decos of escolta.
President Marcos wanted to build Manila (and the Philippines) back to its former glory. That was why he built so many infrastructures during his time, that even now are still standing, and no other presidents can beat him to all the infrastructures that he built, which mostly were the FIRST IN ASIA when they were constructed/made. He wrote many books and one is about the real history of the Filipino people which spanned the 250 years of the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trades from 1565 to 1815 under the Spanish Empire, and his book was titled "TADHANA: HISTORY OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE (1565-1815)" published in 1979. www.goodreads.com/book/show/1987860.Tadhana
Actually tbh many UPD students have a rich family. But I dont know why, why UPD is like Ateneo maraming mayayaman kaysa sa mahihirap o may kaya. UPD grad pala ako lol. But still I always see a lot of cars in every colleges parking area and even on the side walk na. Pero hindi naman sa nagyayabang, pero UPD is a public university pero konti lng yung mahihirap, why?
WG NCT maybe because if you’re from UP, you’re known as intelligent. Kaya siguro pati mayayaman pinipili ang UP kasi hahangaan sila ng mga tao. That became an issue din last last yr entrance exam kasi masyadong maraming mayayaman ang nakapasa hay
I went to Arellano University in sampaloc, but never have a peak on UST; thank you for the tour and a little history of it; great job! you are amazing mate!
Hello, Kiel! It is really nice you visited that university. However, you missed one of the best features it has. The museum! If by any chance you visit it again, you should visit it. It is inside the Main Bldg. , the building in the center of the campus. Thanks! I love that university
GRAB drivers here in the Philippines are generally nice and can speak well both in English and in local language (Tagalog). Been to Cebu and Davao recently and used Grab there and the drivers can also communicate in English since I cannot understand their local dialect which is Bisaya. Great to here to enjoyed using Grab for the 1st time and it’s indeed worth it. Enjoy your trip here in the Philippines!
Hi Kell, i did my bachelor of science in medical technology in UST, graduated 1980. I now live in Australia. Next time, get inside that old main building. It is beautiful, brings you back in time, centuries ago.
sup mate. i failed ust entrance exam for school of architecture i don't even know why? nag second attempt ako pero di pinalad. kasi as far as i know mejo concentrated ang arki nila kesa dito sa usyd Usyd architecture student here
I’m currently a student at UST and here are some facts about the university: The statue at the last part was Miguel de Benavides who was the founder of UST. The Miguel de Benavides Library (named after him) is older than the university itself. Every Angelus (prayer every 6am, 12pm, 6pm) the students, faculty, and workers would all stop whatever they may be doing and pray, thus living up to the “Catholic University” status. The “mini park” that you passed through is the UST Rosarium. The pillars signifies the beads of the Holy Rosary. There is a tradition in UST freshmen to enter the Arch of the Centuries (the arch at the very front) during the Welcome Walk festivities on the very beginning of the school year and exit it before you graduate. It is said that once you exit the arch when you are not yet due, you will get “debarred” (fail/will not be able to graduate) and the entire student body respects this belief. Thanks for visiting UST!☺️💕
Justin Justin they respect the belief meaning they follow the tradition and respect it. If you dont abide the “rules” they wouldn’t do anything, just pray that you will be able to graduate lol
@@pinkeupanda6265 oh lol...so it's just superstition that u wouldn't graduate if u broke the rule....for some reason ,I thought the student body will do what they can to 'expel' u😂😂 scared me Abit there...
But actually a lot of people said or confessed, that they got disbarred because of crossing the arch even though it is not their time yet. They couldn’t explain why but ever since they cross the bridge, it all went downhill from there. Some graduated, however, they experienced a lot of difficulties that almost hindered them from graduating. Those were the lucky ones.
It's good to watch a video that gives off positive energy. I feel alive again haha. There's alot of negativity going around social media so it's time to see some sunshine heheheh. Thank you for the video!
UST was not the reason why the main road in front of the campus was named "España Boulevard" since the former owners were Spaniards (Alfredo Chicote, a Lawyer and Antonio De La Riva, a Spanish businessman), they bought the land from the Santa Clara Nuns. and when the American Colonial tried to get a portion of their lot to have an access to the present day QC area. The owners had one condition, the road should be named after their mother country which is Spain. The name was officially given on March 7, 1917 through city ordinance 366. This is why Quezon Boulevard ends in Morayta and resumes as Quezon Avenue at Mabuhay Rotunda. Actually, in 1952, the Manila City Government tried to change the name of the street to Quezon Boulevard but an heir of De La Riva notified the local government through the Department of Justice that its part of the condition of the donation. And, UST's campus size was not supposed to be 10x bigger and theirs no eminent domain happened, before it was donated to the Dominicans in July 18, 1911. The lot was already divided since it was already Rizal Park Subdivision. Thats the reason why most of the streets within were connected in the life of Jose Rizal and the family members of De La Riva and Chicote). It was only 21.5 hectares (not bigger than that). The property was bounded by the streets of España, P. Noval, Dapitan and Forbes. The original plan of the Dominicans was to put up two new campuses forthe University of Santo Tomas and Colegio De San Juan De Letran. But for some reason, Letran was removed and it became the sole campus for UST Source: In Transition: The University of Santo Tomas During the American Colonial Period by Prof. Jose Victor Torres. A book published in 2007 by the UST Publishing House
It's actually the only royal and pontifical catholic University in the Philippines. 😊 It's original campus isn't really located there. It was first situated at Intramuros Manila before it was transferred there ☺️
@@paulsanchez6455 *Sorry for what happened to you there. Did you see those girls training and practicing the "arnis? What do you think? Maybe you could join them, then go back to that Sulucan and apply your arnis skills. Lol*
I used to live in Manrique St, all in all my experiences were great, it just one of lesson learned. I went to school at nighttime in UST. We just have class reunion last month.
Big thanks for appreciating our 408 year old university. I am a Thomasian and very proud to be one. The Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas is the oldest existing university in Asia. I encourage you to visit it again during our Paskuhan celebration on December 20, 2019 around 5pm onwards. Check other You Tube videos of the past UST Paskuhan celebrations. Hopefully, we will also get to meet you in person by then =)
Wow you also did UST, my elder sister's alumni! UST (co-ed) and PWU (used to be girls only) are my two favourites; I must admit had once a magical all day cultural festival on UST ground after watching my sister on stage for their singing group contests held in their theatre; that day was one of my fondest memories. UST and PWU are amongst the few to have uniforms up to university. For some reason, I love the rich histories and formalilties of these two schools, but I would have love it even more if PWU stayed to its unique identity as girl's only university (disappointed to learn just now that it became a co-ed; sorry, I've been gone for a long long time and haven't returned, but that will change soon.) 4:00 PM Apr 24, 2020 Toronto
@@johnpaulnatividad my nephew a UST student said it is open to the public, but you'll have to ask the security for a visitor's pass, not sure if it's open on Sundays.
yes our subjects were preprogram already we have the same classmate from 1st year to graduation however those who can not make it were kickout from the university,that was also the year the Pope came to the Philippine and a big mass held @ the footballfield.Untill now we are all overseas and we still communicate.
Great to see my ALMA MATTER once again! I'm glad to see that alot of improvement has been made throughout the years. The Medicine Building looks awesome! Thanks for touring us around!

WAIT REALLY?
I'm Filipino but I'm really shocked xD
Its 2019 I'm Filipino and they do teach arnis in PE
first time i got to watch someone who vlogs about a university. foreigners often vlogs about beaches & islands here in the country.

My alma mater! B.S. Industrial Engineering major from way back when...thanks for showing us our old alma mater.
Me too kabayan, batang USTE din. Nakaka miss talaga, lalo na kung malayo ka sa pinas!!
By the way BSHRM Grad...
Thanks for visiting my Alma Mater. I studied and graduated in that university. I am just happy that one European dude appreciated the oldest University in Asia.
I’m now living in Canada and likes to visit other parts of Europe after this Covid 19 crisis. Keep it up. Stay Safe.
You haven't visited the best parts:
1. Central Library
2. Museum inside that Main Building
3. Relic at the Church
Wanted to see those esp the library
Can outsiders go in?
sealand000 Yaz, its open to everyone but not all the place.
Central Library - you'll need permission, ID and minimal fee to get a visitor's ID. If you love the feeling of being on a library filled with old books and using a traditional way of looking for books, then you definitely need to see the CL. Well, there are computers at the ground where you can do your initial search but that was lowtech before I graduated. Anyway, a whole day is not enough to appreciate all 6 floors (if I remember it correctly).
Museum - this is the tricky part, there's only a day and time that it is open, but calling their office or going through information first wouldn't hurt. Trust me, the well preserved genetically mutated and deformed species there are worth seeing.
Relic - yes, just like the relic of DLSU, but I think during special occasions only. It is placed on a somewhat secret place (I've only been there once so I can't even recall now how we got there during our freshmen tour). But of course, calling the office and information is always the key 😊
I'm not sure how much of these have changed and if all of what I have mentioned are still intact or if it is still there. But really worth your time visiting if they still are.
Thank you, Vince and Lololo
I think you're the only tourist I've seen who has actually featured Sto. Tomas or a university for that matter ^_^
Iflip Over based on the topic
No, there are also other foreign tourist who featured UST in TH-cam it's "Jamesyboy experiment' from Great Britain.
Iflip Over There are some.
thank you for touring us inside UST, I'am from the PHILIPPINES but never been there
Yeah. Me too. I didn't know we have that kind of school..
SAME
likewise...
I don't even know that UST is the first Univ of the Spain.
same... and it's because its such a prestigious school lol
I am from India and studied in Phillipines... I went once to University of Santo Tomas to take may NMAT exam... It's a very big university ❤️❤️❤️... Due to this pandemic, I am at my home... I hope to come again at Phillipines at the soonest 🙏🙏🙏...
The current campus of UST was erected during 1920’s. The only original structure survived from 17th century is the Arch of the Centuries.
There is a tradition that all incoming freshmen must pass through the Arch of the Centuries during the start of each academic year.
All of you guys are talking about the fact he featured UST but i am here freaking out about the fact that he was the foreigner I saw during my walk by the river that sepreates Mandaluyong and makati HAHAHAHA
You would make a great world ambassador for understanding, tolerance, love and peace. Having studied in three continents, and have been traveling around the world, you are one embodiment of diplomacy to reckon with. Hat's off.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Romeo! I'm humbled 🤗
after 2 years of uploading this video, i still watch it. it's 'cause almost 6 years ago, we moved out of the philippines. right after i graduated grade 6. i was also planning on going to UST because my brother used to go there as well. so i always get a happy and sad feeling every time i watch this video. happy because i can see that UST didn't change much compared to the last time i see it (hopefully it still looks the same now) but also sad because i was so ready to go to that school but we had to move to england :(((
You also visited the campus during the 2nd semester where most of the students are already wearing their Typ B uniforms. Type A is the formal one, worn during the first semester 'til before Ash Wednesday. Then after that, it's Type B so students are more comfortable during the summer season. You can distinguish the different colleges including junior and senior high thru their uniforms.
About those sticks you saw, it's actually called "Arnis" and yes it's like a Filipino martial art.
It's a Filipino Martial Arts.
Also known as Eskrima. I think it's more internationally known as Eskrima, as those weapons are called eskrima sticks.
Astro Black or in the West Kali
@@astroblack9287 Arnis is the prehistoric filipino martial pre colonial period ...escrima is modern day filipino martial arts

How nice I hope I can visit UST
5:06 It's called arnis... It's the national martial art of the Philippines, It's basically like kendo but the sticks are shorter, and you could either use 1 or 2 sticks.

Wattpadian spotted 😂 Same here, bud. I always remember ILYS1892 everytime I see an arch, even it is not located in UST😂 Especially when I m in intramuros, gosh, the feeling was just too intensed and sad and painful. Try to read the painful scenes in ILYS1892 while you're in intramuros, it was so heartbreaking. :(
Yeah same

I always heard about UST but I didn't have any idea how it looks like inside the campus. Nice video keep it up brother, more power!
Shout out to the grab driver!! Wow inglesero si sir 💪🏻

lynn ace your right Sir. Usually they own the car and mostly are professionals. I've been talking several of them whenever I ride grab.
I'm proud to be a UST alumni, so much have changed since I graduated. Hopefully, I can visit and see the changes when I go back again to the Philippines. 👍👍👍
Watching this video makes me proud to be a Thomasian (students of UST)!! At the other side of the hospital (I don't know if you went there and just didn't vlog, or didn't go there because of how tiring it might have been to walk around the campus under that sun), there's a new building for Senior High School students, a small gymnasium, a grandstand, and a swimming pool!! Also, near where the students are having their entrepreneurship, there's a large library that is four floors high if I'm not mistaken. The main building (the one where you talked to the guard) has a museum inside!! Really glad that you took the time to explore our university and our culture
🖤
There's also a post office, book store, and hotel on campus. ^_^
Ulol. Di papasa utak mo sa UP. CORNY MO

I'm a 1992 UST graduate and now living in the USA. I'm amazed by the great changes already happened in that uni. What a nostalgia! Thanks for this vlog 👍

Thank you for youtubing UST, where my medical studies started, brought back memories, I spent a lot of time in the pavilion at 10:00 video marker. For that I give you a like and hit subscribe in gratitude.
China has Kung Fu. Korea has Taekwondo. Japan has Judo. The Philippines has Kali. That's what those students are practicing. Those sticks are suppose to come in pairs. It's a native martial arts using rattan sticks of about 2.5 feet long.
That ancient martial arts is Arnis, with modifications like two sticks, stick and knife, double bolos, karambit (kali). Used by the Phil armed forces for close combat and adopted by armed forces in other parts of the world due to its effectiveness..
Philippines martial art is Arnis
Kali is the most dangerous martial arts, my uncle teach me that .
@@ty_ke8603 ampt🤣🤣🤣
I think kali is used for killing soooo..
i love it when he said "they will save our lives in the future"
I just googled the First university of Spain and it was University of Salamanca😊
Maybe... the UST should be the first university outside of Spain by Spain.
Yeah, I think that's what the guard really want to say.
Its really what the guard say.. he said this is the first university of spain outside the spain.
University of magic ? Hahahah salamanca - magic
@@inspiredbyclaire7219 Yes, the guard literally said: "You know, this is the first university of Spain ... The first university of Spain is out of Spain .. and in the Philippines ... and it was located in the Philippines." He didn't say "the first university of Spain outside Spain."
I agree, and the guard made it clear over and over again that it was UST is the first university of Spain. Check out the About and History section of the Salamanca University website: www.salamanca-university.org/Salamanca-University.htm. But it is safe to say that UST is the oldest university in Asia. www.ust.edu.ph/about/history/#:~:text=Miguel%20de%20Benavides%2C%20O.P.,world%20in%20a%20single%20campus.
10:38 I love watching the fountain show there every noon ❤️ It get prettier during paskuhan every December when UST would decorate the whole place with lights and the huge christmas tree at the main field
This is so cool. I remember a friend of mine asked me if we have universitites in the Philippines. I smiled and said, We have. In fact our university parking lot is bigger than you entire campus. 😂😂.
Curly Kulot lmao😂
lol, yeah!& they asked me why I left PH to study in this country (where I am now) :D
why is this so true lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Ahhahah definitely true😂😂👌
Thank you for this! I'm graduated from UST and I'm currently in the USA. Loved seeing my school again. Glad you had a great time!
That University is really amazing. I will definitely visit that in May. Cheers for showing.
Try and visit the library (a whole building as the library) and go in the main building. Check the museums too! :)
@@mykaisidro211 Cheers for that.
Hi! I am one of the alumnus of University of Santo Tomas. Thanks for featuring my alma mater. Oh how I miss it. Btw UST is also a Pontifical University where the Pope is the honorary head. In fact, three Popes visited UST namely Paul VI, John Paul II and most recently Pope Francis.
Wow, I've passed by UST maybe a thousand times and I don't have any idea what's inside it... until now! Fantastic vlog! Thanks.
Arnis also known as Kali/Eskrima is the Filipino martial arts that is weapon based fighting using sticks, knives and bladed weapons. That was what the group you saw doing
Also, Fun Fact, it's not actually native to just the Philippines. It's more of a Southeast Asian Sport tbh...
@@moondust2365 it was native in the philippines that has been incorporated by some other martial arts, i.g fencing and silat. It's like grabbing some ideas from your professor and you innovate and bring out the best. Eskrima was the best martial arts when it comes to hand to hand combat and weaponry...
Arnis is a filipino martial arts. www.combatscience.net/history-of-arnis/
Arnis is being practiced in some universities in the US. They recognize it as Filipino martial arts. Though nunchuks originated in Japan, it was Filipino Dan Inosanto who taught the legendary Bruce Lee "chako" (to Filipinos) and became good friends.
haha same na same sa wikipedia
Yes. That bronze statue was the founder. Archbishop Miguel de Benavidez
Gene Michael Atanacio Do you know where Benavidez is pointing too? Just incase they failed at UST? Doon kayo lumipat. 😆
@@bluemarshall6180 naunahan mo ako brad. 😂😂
UST College of Medicine, one of the best in Asia. Prestigious , well known, accredited to most famous US post grad
residency training.
FUN FACT: UST was founded in 1611 but became university in 1645. University of San Carlos ( USC) in Cebu City was founded in 1595 but only became a university in 1948.
I believe it has been contested by the historians that USC cannot be a university because ita has changed its name many times. Not just partly but its whole name. Correct me if I am wrong but if I remember correctly, it was originally established as a hospital in 16th century not as a school unlike UST.
its real fact. so it cant be made in usa architect style. this time nobody even think there will be an country exist called usa
James Erold Potente Gatinao it was a seminary. And yes , it was handled by a different administration before it was bought by the SVD. So it did not really have that continuity of some sort.
it has been contested several times, USC could not prove a direct lineage from the school founded in cebu in 1595. So UST is still the OLDEST TERTIARY INSTITUTION in the Philippines.
UST is the oldest university in the PH.
UST!
I'll be there tomorrow for our preliminary exams! Wish us luck, and I hope we all graduate with flying colors!
Good luck!!!
@@andresvillanueva5421 Thank you! Subscribed to you because I'm politically incorrect, too.
I subscribed because of this amazing video. i didn't know that UST's campus is that huge and has a commercial complex. This vlog is so informative for a mom like me who is looking for a university for her child.
Thanks for the free tour. I'm Filipino but I might not be able to see the historic and beauty of UST in my whole life. I never knew UST is this big, great, and amusing. I'm in awe.
The original location of UST was in Intramuros but was transferred. To appreciate Manila more (specially Old Manila, you need to understand its past.
Manila was once know as "pearl of the orient" and "paris of asia" due to its beautiful architecture. Until 1945 when it was devastated by war. It was the second most devastated city after Warsaw in Poland. But unlike Warsaw, Manila was never revived to its former glory.
To have a glimpse of the past, try visiting a facebook page called "Bring Back The Old Beauty of Manila" and try too look at the pinned post which is a compilation of photos showing why it was once the envy of the far east.
I would even go far to say that Manila would rival Tokyo and Bangkok in terms of cultural built heritage if not for the war.
Aside from UST being the oldest university in Asia and even north America (older than harvard), it had the first suspension bridge (like the golden gate bridge, but not as glamorous) in Asia, first to implement a Tranvia public transport, public education system as ordered by Queen Isabel II of Spain, and more. Basically, Manila was lagging behind Europe, but often is first in Asia on some aspects. Such pride and glory is now being marred by rampant corruption and poverty, but most importantly, the lack of appreciation by a typical Filipino to our culture, history, and heritage.
Unfortunately, the only thing that makes me love Manila is the hope that Filipinos (specially Manileños) can once bring it back to its former glory. From the 7 churches of intramuros, to the american art decos of escolta.
Nice.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Wow😰😌☝
President Marcos wanted to build Manila (and the Philippines) back to its former glory. That was why he built so many infrastructures during his time, that even now are still standing, and no other presidents can beat him to all the infrastructures that he built, which mostly were the FIRST IN ASIA when they were constructed/made. He wrote many books and one is about the real history of the Filipino people which spanned the 250 years of the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trades from 1565 to 1815 under the Spanish Empire, and his book was titled "TADHANA: HISTORY OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE (1565-1815)" published in 1979. www.goodreads.com/book/show/1987860.Tadhana
Tbh, UST has the most diversed students coming from different classes. Parang halong UP and Ateneo/DLSU :)
Ikr, walang halong squatter like any other univeesities out there cause only the big 4 represents the country? RIGHT?
Oo, npka flexible. Pwede sa sosyalan pwede din sa ndi masyado sosyal. 🙂
im from ust and this is true
Actually tbh many UPD students have a rich family. But I dont know why, why UPD is like Ateneo maraming mayayaman kaysa sa mahihirap o may kaya. UPD grad pala ako lol. But still I always see a lot of cars in every colleges parking area and even on the side walk na. Pero hindi naman sa nagyayabang, pero UPD is a public university pero konti lng yung mahihirap, why?
WG NCT maybe because if you’re from UP, you’re known as intelligent. Kaya siguro pati mayayaman pinipili ang UP kasi hahangaan sila ng mga tao. That became an issue din last last yr entrance exam kasi masyadong maraming mayayaman ang nakapasa hay
I went to Arellano University in sampaloc, but never have a peak on UST; thank you for the tour and a little history of it; great job! you are amazing mate!
Hello, Kiel! It is really nice you visited that university. However, you missed one of the best features it has. The museum! If by any chance you visit it again, you should visit it. It is inside the Main Bldg. , the building in the center of the campus. Thanks! I love that university
Very interesting vid, lovely to see this beautiful university! 👩🏼🎓👨🏻🎓
Agreed 😁
GRAB drivers here in the Philippines are generally nice and can speak well both in English and in local language (Tagalog). Been to Cebu and Davao recently and used Grab there and the drivers can also communicate in English since I cannot understand their local dialect which is Bisaya. Great to here to enjoyed using Grab for the 1st time and it’s indeed worth it. Enjoy your trip here in the Philippines!
Most of the grab drivers here in manila own the unit they are driving.
Hi Kell, i did my bachelor of science in medical technology in UST, graduated 1980. I now live in Australia. Next time, get inside that old main building. It is beautiful, brings you back in time, centuries ago.

Hannah Claura very true.
Hahhha your right!😊
This is very underrated comment! Up up up! 😂
Something’s wrong with your english Hannah🤣
HAHAHAHAHA
I’m currently a student at UST and here are some facts about the university:
The statue at the last part was Miguel de Benavides who was the founder of UST.
The Miguel de Benavides Library (named after him) is older than the university itself.
Every Angelus (prayer every 6am, 12pm, 6pm) the students, faculty, and workers would all stop whatever they may be doing and pray, thus living up to the “Catholic University” status.
The “mini park” that you passed through is the UST Rosarium. The pillars signifies the beads of the Holy Rosary.
There is a tradition in UST freshmen to enter the Arch of the Centuries (the arch at the very front) during the Welcome Walk festivities on the very beginning of the school year and exit it before you graduate. It is said that once you exit the arch when you are not yet due, you will get “debarred” (fail/will not be able to graduate) and the entire student body respects this belief.
Thanks for visiting UST!☺️💕
Wow..thanks for ur informoation about UST
Nice....oh and about this "the student body respects this belief"....what do u mean by that? ...do they do 'something' when u break the rules/belief?
Justin Justin they respect the belief meaning they follow the tradition and respect it. If you dont abide the “rules” they wouldn’t do anything, just pray that you will be able to graduate lol
@@pinkeupanda6265 oh lol...so it's just superstition that u wouldn't graduate if u broke the rule....for some reason ,I thought the student body will do what they can to 'expel' u😂😂 scared me Abit there...
But actually a lot of people said or confessed, that they got disbarred because of crossing the arch even though it is not their time yet. They couldn’t explain why but ever since they cross the bridge, it all went downhill from there. Some graduated, however, they experienced a lot of difficulties that almost hindered them from graduating. Those were the lucky ones.
Great to know you studied in three continents: North America, Europe, Asia.
Not to mention, they're not only universities.. they're prestigious unis.. UPen and Peking..
It's good to watch a video that gives off positive energy. I feel alive again haha. There's alot of negativity going around social media so it's time to see some sunshine heheheh. Thank you for the video!
UST was not the reason why the main road in front of the campus was named "España Boulevard" since the former owners were Spaniards (Alfredo Chicote, a Lawyer and Antonio De La Riva, a Spanish businessman), they bought the land from the Santa Clara Nuns. and when the American Colonial tried to get a portion of their lot to have an access to the present day QC area. The owners had one condition, the road should be named after their mother country which is Spain. The name was officially given on March 7, 1917 through city ordinance 366. This is why Quezon Boulevard ends in Morayta and resumes as Quezon Avenue at Mabuhay Rotunda. Actually, in 1952, the Manila City Government tried to change the name of the street to Quezon Boulevard but an heir of De La Riva notified the local government through the Department of Justice that its part of the condition of the donation.
And, UST's campus size was not supposed to be 10x bigger and theirs no eminent domain happened, before it was donated to the Dominicans in July 18, 1911. The lot was already divided since it was already Rizal Park Subdivision. Thats the reason why most of the streets within were connected in the life of Jose Rizal and the family members of De La Riva and Chicote). It was only 21.5 hectares (not bigger than that). The property was bounded by the streets of España, P. Noval, Dapitan and Forbes. The original plan of the Dominicans was to put up two new campuses forthe University of Santo Tomas and Colegio De San Juan De Letran. But for some reason, Letran was removed and it became the sole campus for UST

You are.the.best. correct. You got it right
It's actually the only royal and pontifical catholic University in the Philippines. 😊 It's original campus isn't really located there. It was first situated at Intramuros Manila before it was transferred there ☺️

Wow you also did UST, my elder sister's alumni! UST (co-ed) and PWU (used to be girls only) are my two favourites; I must admit had once a magical all day cultural festival on UST ground after watching my sister on stage for their singing group contests held in their theatre; that day was one of my fondest memories. UST and PWU are amongst the few to have uniforms up to university. For some reason, I love the rich histories and formalilties of these two schools, but I would have love it even more if PWU stayed to its unique identity as girl's only university (disappointed to learn just now that it became a co-ed; sorry, I've been gone for a long long time and haven't returned, but that will change soon.)
