- The University of Santo Tomas (UST) is the oldest existing university in Asia. It also has one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. I also check out some cheap local student eats.

“No video, not allowed (?)” is a sentence Filipinos will regret. A few years ago, when Bohol had an earthquake, many of the 400-year-old Spanish Churches were destroyed. Before the quake, they had a sign “no video.” History is gone forever.
It takes a foreigner’s eye to appreciate this school. Brings good old memories. Thank you sir.
I used to live in a college town (Berkeley, California). University towns are always lively and have good, cheap restaurants for the students that the rest of us can enjoy.
When I was a college professor, we had colleagues from Santo Tomas visit for a sabbatical year. My colleagues and I enjoyed showing them around the San Francisco Bay area.
Some said that when you are a person who loves even small things, it is reflected in what you are doing, it means you are a good person
probably the most beautiful campus in the philippines...
Graduated there 1968 thanks for sharing your trip missed it
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for taking me back to my school. Graduated 1995 and been there once or twice since then. A lot has changed but the main landmarks still remain the same. That parking lot in front of the Botanical Garden is where I used to park my dad's old Mitsubishi Lancer back in the day. We dissected cats at the botanical garden and studied the plants there. I still know a lot of their scientific names. Sorry you were not allowed to film. Maybe it's for the security of the students there. Studied Biology and Medicine there but now I'm so far I can only get home to the Philippines every few years. Take care Marshall.
It was Covid madness at the time. No video anywhere; like it was going to spread the virus. Things are so much more relaxed now. Thank you for you reminiscence and your comment.
Wow...i grew up in that area...my High School Alma Mater is just beside it ...the Ramon Magsaysay HS. We used to enter the campus freely last time...and we could play in their big grassy area just across the swimming pool. During Xmas...I normally attend the "Simbang Gabi" there, and after the Holy Mass, the fire crackers start to pop whenever the priest says " Humayo kayo ng Mapayapa"...( Go in Peace...). Very nostalgic for me.
If you to visit the University again just contact the UST Office of Public Affairs.
I would say not allowing video-taking of university buildings is a stupid policy. The school is even promoting itself especially during enrollment season. It's free advertisement to the whole world!
I’m usually late going to school. Right by España, there’s an old saserdote who walks rain or shine. We run into each other most of the time. No one would confirm this, but in 1979, they allowed students to visit the basement where Jose Rizal was jailed. There were old memorabilias from his days on display. I was lucky enough to go there as a freshman. I returned in 1994, and the University staff denied knowing there was such a room. If you go to the Dapitan side, there’s an area that pays homage to a Filipino soldier, who single handedly downed so many Japanese combatants. When he was finally subdued and killed, the highest ranking Japanese commandant saluted his lifeless body. A honorary gesture from one soldier to the other, for unprecedented display of valor and bravery. There was a time when a med student was assaulted by another med student ( allegedly), in the wee hours of the morning. It was so shocking that I thought classes would be suspended. The whole place was so morose after. A heavy gloomy atmosphere hung in the whole med school. One pre-med doc tried to lighten the mood with humor. He said that the old spinster of a professor was asking for a very detailed information of where and what time it happened, in the hopes of getting …
I remember the worse flooding happened in 1982 I guess. I was standing in waist deep water along España (again) when a dump track drove by creating ripples of water. I was tossing and almost was submerged had the staff from the registrars’ office not grabbed me. I had since hidden my face when ever I payed my tuition. I remember doctors eating in the cafeteria, with the water up to almost their knees. This one famous consultant, ate so heartily despite the River of water surrounding him. I am so glad I went to UST. I could almost imagine that Praile looking at me to say “your late”. Also thanks Fr. Cabezon for calling me a charlatana. 😅 It took years for me to find out what it meant but I thought then it was a good praise word because it was foreign sounding, European to be exact. 😅
Nice to see you again sir marshall.
my alma mater, i spent my high school and college there. so many memories...i miss the place.
Lucky you.
HISTORICAL SITE👍👍👍❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
That’s my old 🏫 school UST. Miss the good times with my schoolmates. Thanks for sharing the video of the oldest university in Asia🙏🫶👌🇵🇭
It's a unique place in Asia.
hope you get invited to tour and document the UST it be a great service to all and sundry😎🇵🇭🇸🇬🇦🇺
Hello marshall
I watch your videos from weeks it's really interesting oversight about life in philippines
Could you make a video about iftar Ramadan in Muslim restaurant ? I think it will be very nice for your fans
You should check mang tootz carinderia beside UST.
I have done, a couple of years ago now. He's a legend.
The Founder of Jollibee is an Alumnus of the University, Chemical Engineer Tony Tan Caktiong. Since it is a Royal and Pontifical University, It was also visited by 3 Popes of the Roman Catholic Church. Try to visit Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan Province, Travel Back in time. Check it out
If you make arrangements with the office ahead of time, they might let you film.
Hopefully the students can return to the classroom next semester.
Hi there, What a nice day today! 🤙😊☮️♥️🤘 Stay safe and stay healthy.
Thank you for the video.
We are going on a drive tour of beautiful universities in Korea.
Have a nice day.
It's so beautiful, amazing building that lasted since time immemorial. My cousin went to that University in the 60's. You're so lucky just being there showing us the oldest University, too bad you had to cut it short. Thank you for sharing. Be safe.
I believe University of Santo Tomas (UST) is the first University founded by Spain worldwide. Thanks & stay safe.
i miss my school,,i want to go back and meet again all my classmates face to face ...
Yes UST is not yet available to the public since the pandemic started. You are only allowed to go to the Hospital area and the Church on Sundays.
Dont forget to come to Cebu, Bohol, Siargao, El Nido, Banaue Rice Terraces, Batanes, etc.
Planning...
UST is my alma Mater, studied BFA...There are more greeneries today when I was there and the campus have more opened spaces, nonetheless, it is a beautiful University! I am sorry that you were not able to look and see more at the campus and maybe someday you can get in touch with a staff or a current student there, so they will guide you to the campus. THANK you, Marshall for doing a great job on your videos, we enjoyed watching you!
Thanks Vera.
Beautiful place
Ha ha ha Marshall! Tortang talong at longganisa at kanin! Yay!
Hi there! You may try to request to do your vlog at the uni. There are other vloggers who already featured UST and was given access. Just search "photo and video request at UST" and you'll surely find the right department to forward your inquiries. GOODLUCK!
Thanks Kate.
I don't know how that carinderia is surviving with minimal profit. P78 for the rice, 2 longganizas, egg and tortang talong. Just to give you a breakdown of the costing : Rice P8 + Longganizas P20 + Egg P6 + Tortang Talong P13 + Gas P10 = P57 cost while settling for P28 profit (¢0.54 USD) before taxes.
They'd really appreciate the tip you gave 'em.
God I miss UST so much! It's a semi-open university so I think you need a permit before you can record inside. A lot of vloggers had already went there before with no problem recording. You can visit UP since they're actually open and there's no rules in recording inside the campus.
Good job vlogging a very historic and prestigious school, UST.
Love it when you take your foodie adventure in small cafeteria Marshall!
Love watching your blog, keep it up!
¡La universidad es tan hermosa! La Universidad de Santo Tomás es un lugar increíble para aprender. Me siento mal porque no te permitieron filmar. Cuando visité Manila, pude entrar al museo de la UST en el edificio principal. Es una universidad realmente increíble.
Meals at a family-run Filipino carinderia are scenes that win the hearts of Filipinos, domestic or abroad. I am certain that Marshall has given his ability to earn subscribers a big boost. The cost of living in Manila has been found to be among the highest or the highest in Asia. If you've been to Hongkong then you'd get an idea how tough life in Manila or the Philippines is. The street food culture has been gentrified or hipified especially in Cebu and Manila, so much of what vloggers feature does not reflect the reality that many Filipinos live with. This foray that Marshall attempts to show here will earn points from those who appreciate the truth. It also wins many hearts amongst Filipinos. The course-correction is very much noted and appreciated, Marshall. Afterall, most Filipinos live abroad because of how tough life had been for us/them the past few decades.
Ive noticed if I mention to a Filipino about wanting to visit there, they haven't been back there or seem to want to. But I'm in las Vegas and the jobs here are paying good now so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
Take it in stride Marshall. Have Fun.Be Safe !
Nice to see UST again. I kind of miss manila now. I remember some friends who graduated there too. They have this distinct character embedded to them by the faculty and the school itself. Good pride. I think you're lucky because you got some footage because I think it really isn't allowed. Thank you marshall once again. These things just gives nostalgia.
I miss eating in Carinderia especially around School campuses it’s affordable and tasty 😋..
Kaka miss a lot of good memories 😤😤
garlic longanisa and tortang talong, hoohoohhooo, both good on their own but almost a perfect combination
And (drumroll please) an egg!
longganisa and fresh tomatoes for me
"So close and yet so far..." Almost a flashback of my college days. The first building you filmed was the Santissimo Rosario Parish (UST Chapel). Next to that, after the botanical garden, was the Science Building - the most archaic structure there. I hope the university admin would permit you to video next time. Enjoyed it, though.
Also, for "water," try saying "tubig." 😁
Thank you for your 'off-the-beaten-path' theme, Marshall! 👏🎉
Thanks Noel.
Thanks for the tour and history on the place. The food looked good.
Not bad. Certainly didn't break the bank.
Awesome video and narrative. To bad you were asked to stop but then it's still great. I am a proud UST Alumni. Love it!
Watched Flying Kell do a campus tour of UST. I believed he got permission from the school to shoot videos. You may want to contact the school Marshall.
Don't miss Talicud Island when you go to Davao City.
Can you stay anywhere on that little island?
Good information..keep it up.👌👍
MARSHALL CALL THE UST CUSTOMER SERVICE FACULTY AND GET PERMIT TO HAVE FULL ACCESS VIDEO TO TJE CAMPUS LIKE OTHER VLOGGERS DID.
Wow nice your going to Davao hope to meet you, don't forget to visit the Chocolate Museum in Malagos, The Magsaysay Park Fruit Stand and the famous Bulca Chong (Carabao balbacua) in Duterte St
Been to the eagle n tiger uni there love both
Wow! Thank you for the brief tour of UST. I enjoy watching your travel blogs. I'm sorry you weren't allowed to take more photos there. Have a safe flight to Davao. Those guys at the carinderia!
Crazy why we don't let outsiders get in these University to roam around even with passes for the day! Anyways, my young daughter was thinking of going there this year but opted to go to University of Lasalle instead. This campus has so much history.
Beautiful place 😍
tweet 🐦 Not sure how long ago you took the short clip, but from the video, the University could use some exterior improvements, or structural refurbishing. She is due for that now. But then some, would prefer to see UST as is -- looking ancient as she is. I understand she needs to be preserved and all the more the need for immediate repairs. Thanks for the UST walking tour, Marshall. be blessed. apr2022.
Brilliant Mate I really like the way you narrate the history of UST. You seem to be expert in doing so. BTW, it is the oldest “catholic” university in Asia. Keep it up. Next one should be other schools near like Adamson, Ateneo, University of the Philippines amongst others. Stay safe and enjoy 😁
Nice to hear you're going to Mindanao Marshall. 😊👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Can't wait!
hi sir.. the eartery you went was my eldest sister... i hope you visit at night. delos reyes street is a famous street grilled food in ubelt who are the customers are college students...its very crowded street when its still not pandemic
My alma mater. Proud to be a Thomasian. 🥰
Thanks sir for showing us and sharing knowledge to your viewers whom watchin' your vblogs more vids to come sir 💚❤️🥀
That's nice of you, thanks.
Correction. UST has produced not 2 but 3 cardinals: Cardinal Ceferino Gonzalez (late 19th century cardinal-archbishop of Sevilla then Toledo); Cardinal Jose Sanchez, who became member of Pope John Paul II’s cabinet and head of his Congregation of theClergy; and the incumbent archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Jose Advincula.
Hello guys I'm always watching your vlog... stay safe god bless...
It's ok to have short vlogs but full substance. More videos please.
Thank you - missing my alma mater
That is an amazing university Marshall
It's a beautiful place.
When you do get a chance to reshoot (I hope you do) you may want to visit the UST museum-the oldest on campus museum in the country. And maybe even the UST Library and archives- the biggest one in the country in terms of books. It contains a copy of the first book ever published in the Philippines, Jose Rizal's grades (he graduated from UST med school) and even a book by Galileo.
This is my Alma mater University of sto. Tomas 👍👍
Flying Khel channel once visited the UST and he wandered around without anyone prohibiting him. He even attended in the UST program and given a small keep sakes by the faculty members. Watch his Philippines Colleges and Universities all around Manila
Pre-pandemic?
@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 Yes 3 years ago. Actually, he visited UST twice.
th-cam.com/video/P9Gox0bnrR4/w-d-xo.html
@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 yes it was Pre. That vlogger's not uploading anymore. He went viral because he went to Taal Volcano crater lake to swim. The next day, it erupted violently.
I'm sure that there is a high-level administrator of the University who will watch this video and see how badly their security guard treated somebody who could have promoted their campus so nicely. Instead the blocking of the video gives their school a bad vibe that was so unnecessary after other vloggers like Flying Kell and even their own students have already posted several publicized videos of the same buildings. The school administration could have used this video to their advantage but now they look bad.
I am not sure why we have inane rules here of video footages not being allowed to be taken of publicly visible buildings. I've not seen such rule anywhere else in the world. Am so sorry for your experience. UST could have used some exposure from vloggers like you. You started out giving very interesting information about UST that many people are not aware of. It's so unfortunate we have been deprived of a deeper understanding of UST's history.
yea.... dunno why philippines has that stupid rule.
Thank you Arnie.
Totally agree with you. Same thing happened to Marshall when he went to Quezon Memorial. Leaves one scratching one’s head and ask what the sane rationale is.
1 word. "incognito" a small camera or your phone should do the trick
Also experienced that in egypt. I was taking a picture of the pyramid and suddenly, the police said that i can't take videos or photos. They even deleted alot of the videos and photos that i took.
It's disappointing that they don't allow you to film even if it was holiday/no classes, or summer vacation.
I finished college in this school, BFA in Advertising Arts, and some security guards cannot allow you to take a video/photo of the campus as long as you are a student or a faculty member.
But you as a tourist, I'm glad that you visited my alma matter. The next time you visit I suggest you to go inside the main building, they are really known for historical artifacts.
Marshall, my wife graduated from the university in 1990 with a degree in mathematics. I am sure you also know that the university was a POW camp where the Japanese Imperial Army imprisoned so man Americans and others. The death and suffering there was horrible. It should also be noted that the Angels of Bataan/Corregidor were imprisoned there and served their entire captivity in the hospital set up on campus.
That's interesting Wes. I have done quite a bit of research but the security guard cut my visit very short!
Yes, including the British, Australian, Dutch, Polish and more others and was made into internment camp by the Japanese during WW2.
Sir if you eat in carrienderia before you eat, deaf ur spoon and fork in hot water,
For ur safety.
Marshall, you made it to my high school alma mater; it's unfortunate you weren't allowed to finish your video; guess they can make any rules they want and I can't think of any reason for not allowing it. Stay safe; see you next month!
You must be one of the five billionaires then...?
I think it’s the I’m the security guard can’t be bothered rule. 😂
@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 I wish, Marshall! :-)
Marshall 🇵🇭💪🏻❤️
Keep safe
❤❤❤
It's unfortunate that you can't film inside. There is a chapel, a museum and various buildings and parks inside the campus.
For me it's good enough that you enjoyed the oldest University in Asia, even off cam (hopefully). A lot of academic events and students have videos of the place, so I can't understand the rule. Security may be concerned of giving outsiders clues of any possible vulnerabilities (they may have reduced security due to the pandemic).
oh got surprised that they didn't allow you to take pictures or video the place ..Yet so good to see my Alma Mater,,it changed quite a bit ,and crowded before they really don't allow vehicles inside ...Before we used to take public transportation ( no elite status ) and got into our campuses.
U made it sir marshall-u had videoed the main bldg(oldest bldg),the church(Santisimo Rosario),the driveway leading to the botanical garden,lover's lane-but the security guard was a certified KJ..before the pandemic,joggers around from the vicinity have to register at the guardhaus& pay 150php for an id pass... well money talks.. probably u should have paid them...Have a safe trip sir marshall...
Oh, gladly.
Mate, I'm quite sure if you requested a visit from the staff there, they would have entertained you and let you film the entire campus. Excited about your Davao trip! Collab with Kyle Jennerman (Becoming Filipino) Canadian vlogger who lives in Davao Oriental. Love watching the Aussie Bourdain in action!
Thanks Jcrew 😂
The school should have a policy as to who, when, and what can or can’t be filmed or that a prior request is required for campus filming and advise their security accordingly. Without that, the guards are left on their own to just say filming is prohibited which make them sound rude and bad optics for the school.
@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 please go to up diliman and up Los banos next.
@@marshallbuttersvlogs6880 in davao fruits is a must especially durian and see a Philippine Eagle. Crocodile egg ice cream also a must try. Mindanao cuisine also.
It was really unfortunate that you weren't able to video much of the campus. I just came for a visit August 2022 and almost everything was back to normal, students and all. I took videos and photographs to my heart's content. The guards were more concerned about face masks than anything else at this point. I'm a 1994 alumni.
Why not email the school to ask permission to vlog. They may also assist you in some lecture s
The security should have been more polite.
Go and call rhe favulrt staff ans rhey will let you film and guide you. Lpts pf vloggers got detailed full access to the campus and the renownes muaeum inside. You have to come back.
Maybe someday you could go to Corregidor.
Yes, I'd like to.
Tour of manila zoo or Arroceros park would be great
Both good ideas Lau, thanks.
you may need to coordinate with university admin for permission to film.
Hello Marshall! When you get back from Davao, what about a 5 Star hotel review, on me? UST just missed an opportunity, didn’t they, lol.
Hi Pamela, well that sounds like an offer too good to refuse! Thank you. I'll think on all the various and luxurious places on offer 😀
They are very strict,They should be thankful so that other country can watch the oldest U.S.T,Only rich filipino can study in that umiversity.😊Thank you SirMarchall for short video.its beautiful,u desreve more subscribers,ICoz you are promoting the food en culture as well thebeautiful places in my country.Stay safe Sir,😍0.f.w.Hongkong
Thanks Florida, I hope you are well and safe.
Australyano ako rin Marshall!
Hi, next time visit UP - University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. It's about 493 hectares. #1 university in the Philippines (like Harvard of US). Too big, suggest have map.
Good idea. Thanks.
and no rules against filming or photographing
The campus will be open on September.
At the opening scene of this video my thoughts were, "Whoa! what an ugly building!" and then you come on and call it stunningly beautiful. Guess ya gotta be there.
I suppose the vlogger was referring to the archi design of the building because it is an art deco and there are only few art deco buildings left in PH.
Good video. Did you watch your video after filming. no one in Or around the restaurant where you were eating had any masks on. We stopped wearing them about 6 to 10 months ago in the US. You had the shot and were the only one masked up. Does it make sense to you. Take care safe travels
Not really. But, in a crowded space I will continue to wear a mask. But, I get your point Ja Ja.
Having a GoPro mounted on the strap of your backpack in front might be good idea when filming a walk tour. Stealthy.
Yes, haha, stealth is the GoPros strength.
wait I dont get it, the guard asked you to stop recording a video, while people with cellphone cameras do that inside UST all the time? i mean wtf
My alma mater
