FYI: University of St. TOMAS (established in 1611)is not the olderst university but the University of Sn Carlos (Cebu City) in the year 1595. 16yrs earlier than the UST.
Thanks for showing the UST campus, my Alma Mater. Am now in Canada, brings back memories of campus life back in the sixties. Good to see happy students. Lived in the nursing dormitory for four years..
Not just the oldest catholic university, but the oldest university in Asia, much older than the oldest American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand universities combined. Thanks for visiting my alma mater.
@@huehue7106 It is. UST came to existence in 1611 while the rest only after the next years. When I say 'combined' I'm not talking about adding them all up, I'm referring to the years those universities came to existence.
Thank you for featuring my Alma mater. I spent almost 10 years of my life in that university and I have fond memories of UST. I was also a working student back then when I was i college. I used to work as a cashier in their Accounting office. Your vlog brought me back to memory lane. We now live in Florida . My husband and I met in the University. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Stay safe.
Of course, all the students at the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas speak English flawlessly, otherwise, they wouldn't get past first grade.
Brent, i'm from California and loves watching your positive vibes and outstanding contents, being in the Philippines. I went to Far Eastern University way back and experienced memorable time there. Thanks sharing with us your great adventures in your world travel. God bless
I’m a very proud THOMASIAN Class ‘79 College of Architecture It reminds me of my first job interview here in the U. S. - the guy interviewed me, asked me a question without reading my RESUME…. I BET YOU, you graduated from the University of Santo Tomas he asked. And humbly answered him YES ! AND I GOT THE JOB. We have that GOOD CREDIBILITY being a THOMASIAN and PROUD of it….. GO GO GO. ÜSTE !
The University of Santo Thomas is not only the oldest catholic iniversity in Asia. UST as this university called is 11 years old older than the oldest university in the US which is the Harvard University. This is a fact that you can check. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
Brent, I really enjoyed this vlog. Throughout the entire video, I couldn't stop smiling. Flying Kell from Iceland was the first foreign RUclipsr I follow to visit UST, and you were the second. He is as energetic as you are. He was here before COVID swept the globe. He went to UST, the University of the Philippines, and, if my memory serves me correctly, De Lasalle University and Ateneo University. They rank among the nation's top four colleges. Even the electronic ads of every Light Rail Transit vehicle included his vlog about these universities. However, you were the first to receive this level of support from the university staff. We appreciate your love for our nation and its citizens.
Mabuhay ka, Brent. And we're so grateful for your warm, spontaneous and stimulating vlog about the UST and its constituents. Thank you for taking us with you on this meaningful historic albeit virtual journey. ❤
In Flying Kell's UST Paskuhan 2019 vIdeo, he was given an even warmer welcome reception by the Director and staffs(same persons seen in this video) of the Office of Public Affairs(OPA) . Flying Kell even joined the OPA staffs in their Paskuhan dinner and was bestowed by the OPA Directress and staffs with gifts, a CD of the UST singers, a shoulder bag and a wall clock, designed with the print of Main Buillding. What was so sad was that the OPA Directress passed away almost exactly a year later, I think it was on December 2020, the next year.
@wynncruz1467 I heard the UST BA in economics Cum Laude, went to San Beda Univesity Law school and failed taxation subject. Nah you're not in the top 4 universites in the Phils if your Cum Laude actually failed in Law school subject in another university.
I passed the exam in UST for Fine Arts. My 1st born too passed his exam for Computer Engr. Then my youngest son passed his Hospitality Management exam too. The sad part? We were all weren't able to enroll because it's too far from our home. And my parents don't want us to stay in a dorm. All the same we're glad to say we passed the UST entrance exam. 😄
salamat po UST PUBLIC AFFAIRS team for showing the world how you guys treat our visitors. more power to all. mabuhay! fr. Milpitas,CA. MedTech batch '81.
Thank you Brent for highlighting our University of Santo Tomas, Manila. You said you are also a graduate of The University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, USA. God bless you more. Your Pinoy Thomasian subscriber from Toronto.
I am your fan now, dear Brent, because you're just happy, honest and your videos are interesting. I owe you a debt of gratitude because I am a Filipina living in Europe for 35 yrs now. I am also happy here in Europe but Philippines is unique and the warmth and energy of the people are incredible. There are so many youngsters there; but here so many seniors. ❤
First time I have seen a foreign vlogger visiting one of the best universities in the Philippines. Yo Brent, this is really cool, man. We appreciate you for featuring the oldest school/university in the country. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines, have fun man.😊❤😻👍
This vlog is worth watching. It's part of the Philippines 🇵🇭 historical education, and the UST staff and students are also very helpful 💛 and accommodating. Thank 💚 you ❤❤
Mr. Brent it's monumental vlogged you did it great pal. It so inspiring for other student that to study hard n give better result for the hard earned money of their parents.
This made me emotional I haven't visited in a long time. I graduated 2013 and maybe went back like twice and the nostalgia just hits me. So many memories, so many hardships and most definitely fun too. It is the best years of my life and I loved my experiences in it. Thank you for showing us the University a lot has changed but a lot is still the same. You didn't even explored the whole Uni but that was a trip down the memory lane for me. It really brings back so many memories. Main building was my home for 4 years. I miss being a student so bad, it was hard but it was more simple. I am glad you had fun and received a warm welcome.
Wow love this vlog.. First time a foreign vlogger featured one of our universities and we’re thankful for this…good to show to the world what we got in terms of education, vibe, warmth, hospitality and facility to speak English fluently! Please more vlogs like this please! UST is just one of our top universities! Try going to other schools, too!😉
thank you, brent! ust doesn't feel as huge as it used to be with all the new skyscrapers hemming the campus in but it's still as beautiful as ever. the current location is pretty new, about a hundred years ago, but there used to be an older location in the walled city that was destroyed in the battle of manila towards the end of the war.
This is a very nice video Brent! I think you should make this a series. Visits all the top 4 university in the Philippine: University of Santo Tomas, University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University.
I love to see where you went to school Grant! That would be fun to see where you grew up and how different it is with our schools here in the Philippines.
Wow 🤩! Very wonderful, positive, and heartwarming vlogs I’ve seen so far … very smart and promising students out there! Thank you for sharing this video. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤️❤️❤️ Thank You So Much Po Sir for promoting our heritage, historical and pride of our BELOVED MOTHERLAND NATION PILIPINAS ( PHILIPPINES ) like Our Churches through your content in this vlog of yours Sir. May You continue doing it and May You continue loving our Country Philippines ( PILIPINAS ) Sir. ALWAYS BE SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏 PO Sir And Healthy. God's Protection may with you 🙏🙏🙏 Sir at all times. God Bless Po Sir To You & To Your Whole Family
Batch 2005 here. It's always nice to see vloggers do content about UST. I was expecting that you will visit the Quadricentennial Pavilion which is THE gym of the campus. Ma'am giovanna used to be the face of ust when there is a video about UST. God rest her soul, you would have liked her. Cool shirt you got btw!
Happy watching your videos, I’m filipina from Cleveland, Ohio. I went to school in National University 2 miles from UST…… Philippines people are always in good vibes, hospitality, religious, and great people……🥰🥰🥰 Thank for visiting God bless….😍😍😍
I rarely make comments, but I really appreciate and Love this content sharing one of the most prestigious University in the country. I have been watching all of your contents lately and it is so good! And that made me decide to subscribe here! People will learn alot about history and other interesting topics you have here. Do more travel vlogs! More power Brent!
The University of Santo Tomas or UST maybe Asia and the Philippines' oldest existing university, being founded in 1611 but its current Main Building and campus is not that old, dating only from 1929. Why? For it used to be located in Manila's Spanish era walled district of Intramuros until a new campus was established in the-then swampy Manila district of Sampaloc (its present location) and the present Main Building was built in 1929, which was done due to the increasing number of students, which made the old campus already too small. So, the University had acquired two campuses in two different districts of Manila and this went on until 1945, when most of the city, especially Intramuros was destroyed during the Battle for the Liberation of Manila between the returning American forces and defending Japanese forces. The UST old building was destroyed along with most of Intramuros, which made its Dominican administrators to abandon the old site and to fully transfer UST to Sampaloc. But parts of the entrance of the old building in Intramuros was moved to the current campus and rebuilt as the Arch of the Centuries to serve as a memorial to the old campus and its continuity with the current one.
Of so many foreign vlogs i saw, yours is the first i saw who went to university so wow. Do visit our beaches also Brent. You’re so cool very appreciative to Filipinos.
Hi Brent! I’m from a different university, so I never had the chance to explore UST. Im a bit jealous of their tradition of wearing Filipiniana while defend if their thesis, that’s super cool! I really enjoyed this video. You were so respectful and engaging.
Hi Brent! I just saw your video about the Philippines and loved watching you play basketball with the Tondo kids. I'm now a huge fan and hope you have an amazing experience!
God he said shame on you you come to our God and I permanent holy country Philippines to promote your Catholic religion your Jesus Christ they are gone they turn evil
Thank you so much for visiting my alma mater UST ❤. Yes, it is indeed a very old but very prestigious Catholic University. My mother, aunts, uncles, cousins, my siblings and myself went to UST. I was batch 1987 at that time my course was called BS. Tourism, seeing your video it seems to have been renamed already. Typically many going into the field of Sciences and further to Medicine goes to UST or in the case of my mom she took Pharmacy, my sisters one went into Food Technology and the other into Nursing. There are 4 main gates going into the campus and you were mostly at the Espana gate. Called as such since it exits to Espana Blvd, and if you walk further down Espana Blvd, you would hit the University belt area where some of the other Manila universities are situated. In my time, I often use the Gov. Forbes exit since that was where I can easily take a bus ride going back home daily. It was very providential by the time I finished college, that was the time the public bus system going to my home city stopped. It is interesting to see in your video the many changes inside the premises of UST. In our time, those fastfood kiosks did not exist, so there were more open areas at that time. We just have to contend with the canteen in our colleges or the common cafeteria near the College of Medicine, or if one has time, explore eating outside the campus. And I do not remember seeing many tall bldgs in the immediate horizon, one only sees the immediate tall bldgs/colleges within the premises. It seems they have also made changes to their uniform style too. In our time, apart from the Colleges of Architecture & Fine Arts, and Mass Com, most female students would be wearing an all white uniform but each college has its own design. So one will know visually at least which College one comes from, and the 2nd way is to look at the color of the id's of the students. ID'S were color coded. The only other time we were not wearing our white uniforms was during those days we have PE, each year level tshirt color was color coded so one can visually identify who was a freshman etc. Again, thanks for your vlog..I am a proud Thomasian or Tomasino❤ I also grew up studying in a Catholic school environment, Under the Order of Benedictines and Augustinians for part of elementary and highschool and UST for College. Good to see they are teaching Arnis now in their PE class in UST...How I wish that was also part of our curriculum then.
i graduated in 2000. i miss ust so much. those were some of my best years. i can still remember the smell of flowers in the evening around the campus church. sometimes they carried all the way to asturias st where we stayed. and if you didn't return to the province too soon after the finals, you could catch the la naval procession in dapitan st.
I'm so happy your videos showed on my feed. I just started watching them today and I enjoy them a lot ❤. Thank you for featuring the Philippines and my University 🙌. I definitely love how authentic you are, it's very refreshing to watch. Don't stop making these videos, please! :)) 💪
I subscribed to your channel because you produce exciting contents, fun, lively, positivity, educational, informative, humble, natural, eloquent, friendly… Keep it up and keep going!!!🥰
Thanks for sharing! I graduated from the University of Santo Tomas 33 years ago. I haven’t been back since. Brought back many fun 0:15 memories from the College of Nursing .
Thank you Brent for this video. Greetings from Mindanao, Philippines. UST is higly respected in the Phil.. they produce excellent professionals especially because they are well grounded in spirituality and morality. Go go UST.
Nice! Graduated in 2007 and probably the best 4 years of my life aside from my high school. Thank you for featuring UST. And yes, those architecture students are probably some of the best future architects of the country. The Architecture program of UST (together with UP), is a center of excellence in the Philippines.
@@adianbeat6701 yeah funny but true. Students of UP are rebel minded. They are producing them. Yeah I know 😂 coz it's the premier government state university of the country.
It’s also considered the oldest Catholic University in the U.S. during 1898-1946 when the Philippines was under the American flag. UST was founded 1611. Harvard University is the oldest Catholic university in the US, founded in 1636.
Thank you for featuring my alma matter, studied in that university all my life, Elementary, High School and College. Me and my brother were both born in the UST Hospital, my parents both studied there and thats were they met. Reminiscing the old days. Viva Santo Tomas!! Go Uste!!!!
Even older than Harvard University. Arnis is a Martial Arts from the Philippines. Bruce Lee learned Arnis from a Filipino American Martial Artist Black Belt.
Very impressive!! The Filipino Hospitality is just unbeatable. Thanks to the hot weather in the Philippines that perks the Filipino people up and makes them happy. It is the cold weather in Europe that makes people depressed and sad.
We used to march during our ROTC in what you call football field. The grandstand we used to do pass in review parade. Thanks for including this because it brings back memories.
Wow so nice seeing my old alma mater, went to UST for over ten years for pre med and medical school plus internship. I remember those atriums, botanical gardens. My favorite building is the main building where I did my undergrad. A lot of history in those halls. The campus sure has changed since my time there back in the early 2000's. There wasn't even the stadium/sports complex yet. A lot of great memories.
Thank you Brent for visiting our country. I hope you enjoyed the hospitality of our countrymen. And what an awesome thing visiting UST, one of the most competitive universities in our country. Please do visit Boracay, Palawan, Cebu, Siargao and other islands in the Philippines. Once you visit them you would not leave our country anymore. Have a nice time and enjoy your vlog. Take care.
It is a prestigious University. Very intelligent students here. Went to college there on my freshman year before I immigrated to the States😊 ( proud ex-Thomasian, lol). Enjoy the Philippines! Yes visit more top Universities like University of the Philippines ( UST's primary competitor in Law, Medicine & Engineering). Enjoy your stay and checkout the provinces & beaches..I enjoy watching your vlogs. I'm from Southern California and now your new subscriber because of your U.S.T vlog which showed up on my Ytube channel . Fantastic contents Brent !!! 🎉😊
hi Kim you are amazing! my friends and colleagues love this vlog it is brilliant history of the oldest Catholic University of the Philippines and all over Asia
Love the content! UST will always be my dream school. I remember my college days watching UAAP for UST GROWLING TIGERS and UAAP CHEERING COMPETITIONS for UST SALINGGAWI. Go uste, go go go! Viva espana !
That was a very cool vlogging you got to this historic University. One show off for PH to the world using your platform. Love your way too of letting people on the way engage your story. Awesome!🙌👍
I think this is probably a good content for blogging. Going to more college campuses in the Philippines will be a niche to pursue in blogging. Go for it....Brent.
5:56 There's a myth about that gate: during your freshman year, you must enter it once and never exit through it before graduation. If you do, it’s said that you won't finish your college there.
And there's even a joke that when you pass through the arch again, the statue of Benavides will point you in the direction of the university you'd transfer to😅
Heard about that from one of my professors. I was late for the ceremony in my freshman year and didn't enter the arch. I found myself enrolled in another school far far away two semesters after. Myth is true. 😅

The original Ust is in INTRAMUROS
Thanks for featuring UST😇 it’s even older than harvard..
FYI: University of St. TOMAS (established in 1611)is not the olderst university but the University of Sn Carlos (Cebu City) in the year 1595. 16yrs earlier than the UST.
Thanks for showing the UST campus, my Alma Mater. Am now in Canada, brings back memories of campus life back in the sixties. Good to see happy students. Lived in the nursing dormitory for four years..
you got me bro..
Not just the oldest catholic university, but the oldest university in Asia, much older than the oldest American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand universities combined. Thanks for visiting my alma mater.
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing.
@@BrentTimmthat's how Filipinos were first to be educated in Asia on Spanish 😂😂😂 muy bien, senior Timm😂
UST is for sure older than the aforementioned country's universities, but not combined.
@@huehue7106 It is. UST came to existence in 1611 while the rest only after the next years. When I say 'combined' I'm not talking about adding them all up, I'm referring to the years those universities came to existence.
@@fkoff7649Combined usually equate to the word, addition.

I used to work as a cashier in their Accounting office. Your vlog brought me back to memory lane. We now live in Florida . My husband and I met in the University. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Stay safe.
Wow! What a great story! Thanks for sharing. Hope I earned your sub!
I like the fact that most of the people in Philippines speaks in English so good. Great adventure man. 👍👍👍
@@MrABroad Yes majority of filipinos can speak and understand English language.
Something I'm proud of.
Filipinos are competitive around the globe.
Yes because , English is our second language.
Of course, all the students at the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas speak English flawlessly, otherwise, they wouldn't get past first grade.
Most students are coming from rich the family,UST tuition pay is expensive only Rich people can afford and they speak English in there homes
We study English since we start going to school as early as toddler til masteral degree.
Brent should be the kind of influencer that the young genration should look up to. Please continue positivity and more awesome contents.
The staff of the university is indeed top tier in the hospitality haha ❤❤
Brent, i'm from California and loves watching your positive vibes and outstanding contents, being in the Philippines. I went to Far Eastern University way back and experienced memorable time there. Thanks sharing with us your great adventures in your world travel. God bless

And I do not remember seeing many tall bldgs in the immediate horizon, one only sees the immediate tall bldgs/colleges within the premises. It seems they have also made changes to their uniform style too. In our time, apart from the Colleges of Architecture & Fine Arts, and Mass Com, most female students would be wearing an all white uniform but each college has its own design. So one will know visually at least which College one comes from, and the 2nd way is to look at the color of the id's of the students. ID'S were color coded. The only other time we were not wearing our white uniforms was during those days we have PE, each year level tshirt color was color coded so one can visually identify who was a freshman etc.
Again, thanks for your vlog..I am a proud Thomasian or Tomasino❤ I also grew up studying in a Catholic school environment, Under the Order of Benedictines and Augustinians for part of elementary and highschool and UST for College.
Good to see they are teaching Arnis now in their PE class in UST...How I wish that was also part of our curriculum then.
@@poltes5 I graduated in 1990 and just like you I would’ve loved to have Arnis during our time. Missing Uste❤️
i graduated in 2000. i miss ust so much. those were some of my best years. i can still remember the smell of flowers in the evening around the campus church. sometimes they carried all the way to asturias st where we stayed. and if you didn't return to the province too soon after the finals, you could catch the la naval procession in dapitan st.
I'm so happy your videos showed on my feed. I just started watching them today and I enjoy them a lot ❤. Thank you for featuring the Philippines and my University 🙌. I definitely love how authentic you are, it's very refreshing to watch. Don't stop making these videos, please! :)) 💪

Thanks for sharing! I graduated from the University of Santo Tomas 33 years ago. I haven’t been back since. Brought back many fun 0:15 memories from the College of Nursing .
You’re a breath of fresh air. Cool positive good vibes! Very uplifting!👍👏🤠😎
I love this video! Thank you for featuring our alma mater. I want to visit UST again...
Thank you for covering my Alma Mater, UST. Very nice presentation.
Thank you Brent for this video. Greetings from Mindanao, Philippines. UST is higly respected in the Phil.. they produce excellent professionals especially because they are well grounded in spirituality and morality. Go go UST.
Nice! Graduated in 2007 and probably the best 4 years of my life aside from my high school. Thank you for featuring UST. And yes, those architecture students are probably some of the best future architects of the country. The Architecture program of UST (together with UP), is a center of excellence in the Philippines.
Omg the entire faculty is so awesome i need them very much.
You are definitely in one of the right places where people are all intelligent...Next vlog will be University of the Philippines
Everyone I met here was so amazing!
Next university is where rebels are 😂😂😂
@@kilometer6712haha
@@adianbeat6701 yeah funny but true. Students of UP are rebel minded. They are producing them. Yeah I know 😂 coz it's the premier government state university of the country.
@@adianbeat6701 Jose Rizal studied at UST he was a rebel too but against Spain not Philippines government as what UP students of today 😂😂😂
Thank you for featuring my alma mater. UST education is world class. Really good training! I am living proof.
I enjoyed watching! I am a Thomasian graduated year 1985. So proud of all the students and teachers and school personnel!
It’s also considered the oldest Catholic University in the U.S. during 1898-1946 when the Philippines was under the American flag.
UST was founded 1611.
Harvard University is the oldest Catholic university in the US, founded in 1636.
Harvard U has no religious affiliation, I think Georgetown University is the oldest Catholic university in USA.
While watching this video you take me back in my college days 2010 life fleeting so fast.
Cool video..
Love hearing that!
@@BrentTimmyour next DLSU in taft manila
Wow great video with great people 👍♥️

Thank you for featuring my alma matter, studied in that university all my life, Elementary, High School and College. Me and my brother were both born in the UST Hospital, my parents both studied there and thats were they met. Reminiscing the old days. Viva Santo Tomas!! Go Uste!!!!
Thank you for featuring my alma mater...proud to be a Thomasian batch '69💕
Even older than Harvard University. Arnis is a Martial Arts from the Philippines. Bruce Lee learned Arnis from a Filipino American Martial Artist Black Belt.
Oh wow that’s really incredible!
Dan Inosanto - baddie in Game of Death. instructor/friend of bruce.
Yeah if Japan as kendo then in Philippines we have arnis
Very impressive!! The Filipino Hospitality is just unbeatable. Thanks to the hot weather in the Philippines that perks the Filipino people up and makes them happy. It is the cold weather in Europe that makes people depressed and sad.
THE OLDEST EXCLUSIVE SCHOOL FOR BOYS AND EXCLUSIVE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS IN THE WHOLE OF ASIA ARE ALSO HERE IN MANILA PHILIPINES
Thank you for this vlog, I get to see UST campus. You are very friendly. ❤
Awww, very sweet staff from UST Public Affair.
We used to march during our ROTC in what you call football field. The grandstand we used to do pass in review parade. Thanks for including this because it brings back memories.
I’m surprised to see in the Philippines in one of the famous universities.enjoyed your journey in my home country!Philippines👍🏽
Wow so nice seeing my old alma mater, went to UST for over ten years for pre med and medical school plus internship. I remember those atriums, botanical gardens. My favorite building is the main building where I did my undergrad. A lot of history in those halls. The campus sure has changed since my time there back in the early 2000's. There wasn't even the stadium/sports complex yet. A lot of great memories.
Salamat for visiting our Philippines!
Proud Thomasian here, spent eight wonderful years at UST from high school to college. So glad you featured UST. God bless you!
Thank you Brent for visiting our country. I hope you enjoyed the hospitality of our countrymen. And what an awesome thing visiting UST, one of the most competitive universities in our country.
Please do visit Boracay, Palawan, Cebu, Siargao and other islands in the Philippines. Once you visit them you would not leave our country anymore. Have a nice time and enjoy your vlog. Take care.
It is a prestigious University. Very intelligent students here. Went to college there on my freshman year before I immigrated to the States😊 ( proud ex-Thomasian, lol). Enjoy the Philippines! Yes visit more top Universities like University of the Philippines ( UST's primary competitor in Law, Medicine & Engineering). Enjoy your stay and checkout the provinces & beaches..I enjoy watching your vlogs. I'm from Southern California and now your new subscriber because of your U.S.T vlog which showed up on my Ytube channel . Fantastic contents Brent !!! 🎉😊
Awesome Video! UST Staff are so hospitable. Nice and wonderful students! - From a new subscriber in California USA!
Vanda ustii is a rare orchid species native to Philippines, named after UST. They have it in the botanical garden.
i love to see filipinos giggling and smiling when they talk.
Thank you for the UST tour! I miss UST! I’m here in Minnesota! 😊😊
My alma mater!!! A lot of changes since I graduated. Very nostalgic, I cherish those days.
Go visit the University of the Philippines (UP) in Quezon City next. You’ll love it there too
That big field is where we played soccer, you are right! Some other sports too since it's quite big. I miss it 😊
Your videos are amazing! I was smiling in all of them. You have an incredible personality.
hi Kim you are amazing! my friends and colleagues love this vlog it is brilliant history of the oldest Catholic University of the Philippines and all over Asia
I graduated from UST in 1978. This is the first time I've seen that campus since I graduated. Very nice. Greetings from South Carolina.
New subscriber here from the Philippines love you

That was a very cool vlogging you got to this historic University. One show off for PH to the world using your platform. Love your way too of letting people on the way engage your story. Awesome!🙌👍
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! Hope I earned your subscription!
I think this is probably a good content for blogging. Going to more college campuses in the Philippines will be a niche to pursue in blogging. Go for it....Brent.
Warms my heart how you introduce Filipinos through your channel.
Brings back high school and college memories. Batch 2K here. Unending grace to UST.
Your Energy is Amazing 🤩 🤩💙 from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇵🇭
5:56 There's a myth about that gate: during your freshman year, you must enter it once and never exit through it before graduation. If you do, it’s said that you won't finish your college there.
I didnt know that myth 😂
And there's even a joke that when you pass through the arch again, the statue of Benavides will point you in the direction of the university you'd transfer to😅
I entered and exited that gate during my first day in UST. Thank goodness I still graduated.
@@raxor81 what's that university? MLQU Feati U. or Ortañez U.? ahhahahahahh
Not FEU or UE 😂😂
Heard about that from one of my professors. I was late for the ceremony in my freshman year and didn't enter the arch. I found myself enrolled in another school far far away two semesters after. Myth is true. 😅
It's older than Harvard University. Really. 😊
❤❤❤ nice you are there in UST the old school in the philippines.
