UST gets a new gym
by Francis T. Wakefield
Source: Manila Bulletin | August 7, 2008

The construction of a 5,792-seater University of Santo Tomas (UST) gymnasium is now in full swing after university officials, led by Rector Rolando V. de la Rosa, O.P., led its groundbreaking ceremonies last week.

The construction of the P600-million, state-of-the-start, four-storey gymnasium, designed by Thomasian architects Jose Pedro Recio and Carmelo T. Casas, will be done as part of UST's quadricentennial celebration in 2011.

The four-storey sports complex will house a basketball court, with bleachers to accommodate 5,792 patrons. Aside from basketball, the complex will also house the facilities for badminton, fencing, table tennis, indoor track, dancing, gymnastics, and a fitness center. There will also be classrooms, administrative offices, and space for food concessionaires. A multi-level parking space will also be built outside the gymnasium.

When the old UST gymnasium (located near P. Noval. St., in Sampaloc) was first built in the 1940s, UST only had 3,000 students. Today, after more than 60 years, the population has ballooned to almost 40,000. Aside from students, UST is also the home of 1,600 faculty members, 600 professional support staff, 1,400 employees of the UST hospital and 150,000 parishioners of the UST Santissimo Rosario Parish.

Fr. De la Rosa said the UST gym used to be the biggest in the country, a favorite venue for university affairs like graduation ceremonies, eucharistic celebrations, college anniversaries, rallies and dance concerts.

The new gym, Fr. dela Rosa added, will be more than just a place for events and ceremonies as it will serve as a monument to the unique and unparalleled holistic sports development program of the university. It will become part of the UST Sports Complex, and will become the home of the UST varsity players and the Growling Tigers.

The new gym will also serve as a museum that will enshrine all the trophies, medals and other memorabilia of various UAAP championships the university has won throughout the years. Championship banners will also hang from the rafters of the gymnasium.

ALUMNI SUPPORT

A number of UST's former basketball stars took time out and joined the ground breaking ceremonies. They include former Glowing Goldie superstar and three-time former PBA MVP Bogs Adornado, 1995 PBA rookie-of-the-year Dennis Espino, former UAAP Most

Valuable Player (MVP) Christopher Cantonjos, former UAAP juniors MVP Gerald Francisco, Purefoods Giants player Rey Evangelista, former pro Estong Ballesteros, Red Bull players Cyrus Baguio and Jojo Duncil, who won the 2006 Finals MVP, and Welcoat superstar Nino Gelig.

Also present were UST basketball head coach Pido Jarencio, who played for UST in the early 80s and his coaching staff, Mrs. Felicitas Francisco, UAAP board member, Thomasian and Olympian Tshomlee Go who will compete in this year's Beijing Olympics.

Fr. de la Rosa, was joined in the lowering of the time capsule (which contains the plans for the building, a copy of the Academia Magazine, current newspapers, and other memorabilia of the present) by Rev. Fr. Ermito de Sagon, IPEA director; Angelo Salvador Cachero, president of the Central Student Council and Architect Casas.

Rev. Fr. Isidro C. Abano, O.P., secretary general, UST, acted as the master of ceremonies. The UST gymnasium is expected to be finished by 2010. Francis T.

Want proof?

Congratz UST!

Sana sa UE din kc *** GYM5 sa PE Building looks like.....ayaw ko na magsalita! hehehe! May pera naman ang Lolo Lucio, bakit wlang GYM na maganda or COLISEUM man lang! hehehe


Go fight Red and White!

[letsrockandroll]

nice one UST!

UST should keeps on improving its own facilities para hindi mahuli. di pa sapat ang UST Carpark/ Mini-Mall , UST wimesh (WIFI) and UST Tan Yan Kee student center for that matter.;)

Onwards to 2011!

[Viva La Tigresa]

Thanks pepman for the youtube link. Aba, maganda nga ang bagong gym, sa exterior pa lang.

With the new gym, the athletes and the Salinggawi Dance Troupe can have more time/days to practice. Hindi na makikipag-agawan sa estudyante at sa fellow athletes pagdating sa schedule ng pagpractice sa gym.

Thomasians, sakop ba nito ang buong Engineering Complex?

[pepsicola]

pinakita ng pinsan ko yung pic ng design nito at maganda nga sya.
baka by 2011 dito na gawin ang ibang games ng UAAP basketball...:)

[Viva La Tigresa]

Yeah, sana nga. Homecourt advantage, mas masaya 'to! Sana nga ganito na lang ang setup sa UAAP eh. The games should be played in the gymnasium of member-schools, just like in the US and Europe.

'Di masyadong kita sa video yung loob ng gymnasium. Is this bigger than Ultra kaya?

Tsaka may logo yung gymnasium, parang yung sa blue eagle ng ateneo.

[gioboy]

Daming mangyayari sa UST come 2011... grand, grand, GRAND! :lol:

[Gospel of Judas]

pics or it aint true

[Viva La Tigresa]

Have you seen the gym's scale model?

[pepsicola]

ok na rin to na sa UST yung ibang games para madaling puntahan.:lol:

[gioboy]

OT: Can someone cite some buildings or projects na nagawa nila Recio and Casas. Si Manansala lang kasi ang kilala kong sikat na Thomasian architect. :)

[bahamut_zero]

Ayos! Mabuti naman at may itatayong bagong gym na sa UST para narin maibsan yung lumang gym. 5,000+ seating capacity, not bad. Pwede na itong alternative venue for UAAP basketball. :D

[zacharaiolsen]

kelan to uumpisahan at matatapos?

[theo78]

can't wait for that...hehe! =)
ue gym 5...it's challenging, mamaya...aakyat ako diyan...uaap high school volleyball...hehe!
feu gym and adu gym are okay...so is blue eagle gym...sana aircon ang new ust gym...hehe! =)

[nuss]

kuya ko architecture kinuha sa uste. hindi lang niya tinapos. :D

[rush_hour]

Congrats UST on that new facility!

UST ba host ng UAAP sa 400th year celebration nila?

If so, malamang alternative venue yan for the UAAP games! Winner!

Sana nga lahat ng UAAP schools may ganong facility na rin para may home court games di ba? That would add another dimension sa games! :)

Pag sa Blue Eagle Gym kasi parang home court advantage lagi ng Ateneo eh. We almost always win kapag nandun yung game. Parang home court na rin ng UP yun kasi kapitbahay lang! :)

[joooie]

^alam ko, hindi.. XD

[lkrskb8]

this is great news for UST.

dominant na kasi ang UST overall, despite supposed lack of facilities. with the construction of the new gym, mas makakahanap pa sila ng talent among their students.

galing!

[Rom_YJ_Gold]

Wow! astig talaga 'tong bagong gym.. sigurado maraming malalagay sa awards section, hehe.. dati kasi may nakita akong mga trophy na nakatambak lang sa may shower room malapit sa swimming pool area..

I also hope na ma-inspire ang mga atleta natin sa bagong gym na ito..

[baludoy]

40000 students!? :eek: presently enrolled ba iyon? ang daming tigre pala talaga sa maynila :D

btw, nice gym!

[swo0osh]

nice one UST!

UST should keeps on improving its own facilities para hindi mahuli. di pa sapat ang UST Carpark/ Mini-Mall , UST wimesh (WIFI) and UST Tan Yan Kee student center for that matter.;)
Onwards to 2011!

yeah it should also improve its educational system... :bop: :bop: :bop:

anyways, baka may masibak nanaman jan ah??? tsk tsk... multi million pala ah...

sana nga maka-attract to ng magagaling na athletes (imposible naman kasi sa inyo ang student-athletes eh) kung hindi, whipping boys nanaman ang MBT niyo along with ADU, and UP in the near future.

[ronster]

Congrats

this pepman. what a jackarse. what a forum noob.

i'm just asking for pictures, moron.

[edubuntu]

On the outside, it looks like a pimped luggage, pretty neat inside though. Nevertheless, still good for UST.

[icko_cousin]

Congrats UST
Di ko type ang design ng exterior pero astig sa loob.

Sana yung lupa ng UP na dating Arboretum ginawa na alng sports complex kesa pinaupahan sa mga call center grrr! :lol:

[encanto]

The exterior will look grand with evening lights design. Can't wait! :)

---
Hmmm... pero parang iba yata 'yung pictures sa taas dun sa naka-publish sa "The Varsitarian" at sa video. Hindi pa siguro 'yan yung final design.

[bahamut_zero]

maganda ito kapag natapos na ang construction sa 2011 then kapag UST ang naghost, pwedeng gawing alternate venue sa Araneta. problema nga lang ang parking. hehe

ganda nung loob, parang yung mga gym ng mga US universities. Okay narin ang labas, very modern pero yung kulay huwag magkulay kare-kare yung yellow. hehe

[starry_night]

onwards 2011!!! *okay*

[encanto]

@bahamut: After some searching, nakita ko na 'yung final design. May covered parking lot sa dalawang side ng gym, ang ganda ng design nung tent. :)

Plus baka hindi tayo mag-host sa 2011 dahil sa sobrang dami daw ng activities ng university. Kung sakali man daw at gustong mag-host, 2010 ang kukunin para sa transition ng taon. :)

[pontivs]

OT: Can someone cite some buildings or projects na nagawa nila Recio and Casas. Si Manansala lang kasi ang kilala kong sikat na Thomasian architect. :)

Manansala? diba painter yun? baka si Francisco Manosa.

Recio+Casas;

Pacific Plaza Towers, One and Two Lafayette Square, Richmond Hotel, Kingswood Makati, Robinsons’ One Gateway Plaza and the Church of the Gesu in Ateneo de Manila University, as well as the yet unbuilt iCon condominium in The Fort and taipan Lucio Tan’s the Emerald Loft in Ortigas.

[gioboy]

^ ay oo nga! sorry at na-jumble ko ang pangalan nila. Thanks for the info. :)

[milo037]

may new GYM ang UST
so sa UE muna last slot sa Final Four *****....hehehe
GO UE, GO UST

[Chan Ho Nam]

Pansin ko lang...puro UST Seal ang nakita kong logo. Sana man lang may Tiger logo.

Gioboy: High Rise Buildings at Rockwell are some of the projects of Recio+Casas. Actually, ok naman ang mga concepts nila.

[pontivs]

ok na rin to na sa UST yung ibang games para madaling puntahan.:lol:

nasa gitna ang uste, kaya madaling puntahan ng pitong unibersidad. ;)

[pepman]

this pepman. what a jackarse. what a forum noob.

i'm just asking for pictures, moron.

Ok.
I understand.

Nasa babaan na po.

[alvincell]

baka sa uste na ganapin yung mga ibang uaap events

like volleyball and juniors basketball na dating ginaganap sa ateneo noh?

[pepman]

^^
Oo nga ano.
Ganda nga eh!

[claudz_444]

astig naman yung bagong gym!...is it airconditioned?...how bout the old gym?

[pepman]

^^
Ofcourse!
We are already high-tech 'no!

[claudz_444]

nice...lumelevel up na talaga..kaya sa mga detractors ng UST lalo na sa gym nila before na nilalait nio..ayan na..wala na silang masasabi..hahaha

[bahamut_zero]

Okay din ito na multi-level, nasa second level yung court mismo. tapos parang coliseum talaga na may shops etc.
I can't wait for 2011. :)

[lifeline20]

wow ganda... court lang ba meron? are there other rooms na ibang sports? tamad ako magbasa hehee

[letsrockandroll]

next year na ba daw ito matatapos?:hmm:

[rreyes_18]

Wow. That's massive. Congrats to UST and goodluck in building the new gym. *okay*

P.S. Didn't the Antonio brothers go to UST too?

[freelancer07]

OT: Can someone cite some buildings or projects na nagawa nila Recio and Casas. Si Manansala lang kasi ang kilala kong sikat na Thomasian architect. :)

c Leandro Locsin, Thomasian sya. Kaya lang patay na.. hehe

[rreyes_18]

Also si Lira Luis. She's the first filipino graduate of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright School right? Astig... I just don't know any of her projects though. hehehe.. *okay*

[isQuash]

next year na ba daw ito matatapos?:hmm:

in 2010 hopefully. there is no reason to hurry up the construction since it has to live up to everyone's expectations. congratulations ust!

someone mentioned thomasian architect lira luis. here's her website: www.liraluis.com

Does the indoor track means, an indoor track and field? Para kasing di na kakasya yun sa 4-story na building with a basketball stadium etc.

[encanto]

'Yun 'yun, eh! Kaya nagpagawa kasi hindi na magkasya sa lumang gym. Hehehe... Sabi 'yung karamihan ng awards nakatambak sa ilalim ng bleachers. 'Yung pinapakita sa labas ngayon sa may entrance ay portion lang nung total number. It's about time na magkaroon na sila ng tamang kalagyan, mini-museum ba for exhibition. :)

[Tomasaiyan]

Mas maganda kung puro UST seal ang makikita kasi ang monicker pwedeng mapalitan... diba from Glowing Goldies naging Growling Tigers... kaya mas ayos kung hindi puro Tiger ang mailalagay...

:turncat:

[letsrockandroll]

para namang sobrang laki ng UST gym na yan. medyo sumisikp na ng UST heheh

[HARE]

Arci people are really concern about the growing problem in UST's scarcity of land. As a matter of fact, the UST Archi held a symposium in 2006 (When I was graduating) to raise the awareness among Thomasians. Unfortunately Dominican fathers were not interested in the concern intiated by the Architecture department. Not a single priest attended the symposium.

What is more frustrating to know is that UST doesn't have a University planning office...so hindi planado yang pag tayo nila ng pagtayo ng building. When I asked a certain professor if they have a say on the uncontolled infrastructure developments sa UST they say wala. Kasi masyado daw close minded ang mga pari. Even more frustrating is that they keep on building buildings sa UST na hindi namamximize yung talent ng Architecture talents and Alumni...Take for example the Tan Yankee Student Center. Alam nyo ba na halos lahat ng kilala kong archi nagdadasal na sana lumindol tapos gumuho na yun....next yung Beato hehe.

I hope this new administration of Fr. Rolando dela Rosa would be more open to this idea...we boast of the best Architecture program sa Philippines and yet hindi naman natin ginagamit sa sarili nating bahay. Nakakafrustrate lang talaga.

[Ashlars]

^^ Panget naman talaga yung Tan Yan Kee Student Center. Ipinilit itayo dun sa tapat ng Central Library.

I find it odd that Thomasian architects (at least the very famous ones) are hardly tapped for UST projects.

ust is beginning to become like la salle. cramped. the dominicans should consider suggestions from stakeholders esp. students/faculty/alumni. wala naman mawawala eh. see, even the tan yan kee center is , well, 'misplaced'. what on earth were they thinking when they constructed the edifice in front of the library? pati ba naman sa pagconstruct ng mga buildings sa loob, close minded pa din ang mga pari?

Pwede ba uling gibain yun. tutal di naman mukhang pinagkagastusan. :D

Yung Tan Yankee, dapat bumili na lang sila ng lote sa bandang P. Noval o Dapitan, yun, medyo aangat yang gusali na yan. buhay pa naman si Francisco Manosa, dapat siya na pinagdisenyo nito saka nung Beato. Buti pa ang Ateneo naidisenyo na niya, yung sa Rockwell.

Atleast, ibinigay nila kay Palafox ang UST-Sta.Rosa. Pwede tayo tumapat sa DLSU at Ateneo na magtatayo rin ng campus doon.

Malaki naman ang tiwala ko na magiging maganda itong gymnasium, magaling naman ang Recio at Casas.

I hope ipadesign nila ang UST Hospital kay Manosa.

indoor track?! i wonder how it looks like. this project is ambitious but it will definitely give uaap a better alternative in venues, instead of ultra and ninoy aquino stadium. next to araneta coliseum, i'm sure this will be the next favorite among sports spectators.

nung nasa uste pa ako, narining ko yung patutsada nung isang seminarista, matindi daw ang politika sa kaparian ng dominikano. kaya naman pala nabulilyaso yung UST Hospital Tower. buti pumasok uli itong si Rector Dela Rosa. I hope mapatino nya o mapatalsik yung mga bulok diyan sa Uste bago mag 2011.

dapat bumili na sila ng lupa sa paligid at magpatayo na sila ng multi-level parking na atleast 10-storey, kasabayan ng gym. dahil pag may laban ang Ateneo o kaya La Salle, saan mo isasaksak ang mga kotse ng mga yan, buti kung mapagdyip mo sila! :D saka crowded na rin sa loob ng campus.

politics. yeah. my friend was a victim of 'politics' within the dominican system. that's another topic. to buy a lot near ust is farfetched. see, even ust's surround is crowded. in my time i don't see any vacant lots up for sale. i don't think parking during games would be a problem. based on the scale model, there are spaces allotted for parking spaces. kahit isang libong kotse pa isaksak mo siguro kasya.

[letsrockandroll]

^^ what else do you expect from them? :glee:

oh well, good luck sa UST. sobrang dami na ngang students (medicine, Undergrad, Law and graduate school) ang sikip pa ng campus. then yung tapat daw ng UST tan Yan kee, may itatayo daw? parang another complex again.. aalisin na yung parking doon. so yung buong edifice na nang UST miguel de benavidez library, hindi na makikita. sarado na talaga.

yan din ang iniisip ko kasi pag sinabing indoor track diba dyan ginaganap ang athletics. so kasama dyan ang mga throw events like javelin and discuss na kailangan ng mataas ng ceiling or open air.

Tingnan na lang natin pag natapos na. :)

according to wiki: Track and field athletics, commonly known as athletics or track and field, is a collection of sports events that involve running, throwing and jumping. The name "athletics" is derived from the Greek word "athlos" meaning "contest".

based on this definition, "track" pertains to running (as in the sport track and field). athletics, on the other hand, is the general term for running, throwing (in this case javelin and discus) and jumping (long jump).

so the indoor track's purpose in the new ust gym is solely for the purpose of running/jogging without the hassle of getting soaked in the rain or being drooled at by thomasian fans. :lol:

thank you pontivs for the photo. that's exactly how i imagined it to look like. ang ganda.

So, here's the final design:

[isQuash]

sa tingin ko pampasira sa itsura ng gym yung tent. kung hindi lang bahain sa uste, sana gumawa na lang sila ng underground parking lot.

[pepman]

^^
Oo nga ano!

Great idea!

[letsrockandroll]

sa tingin ko, kung may game ateneo vs la salle sa UST, yung carpark.. di mahulugan ng karayom! hehehe :glee:

kahit UST vs Ateneo, UST vs La Salle, FEU vs UE etc etc.pa yan

[Azulforumer]

I'm not from UST, but I guess you are correct. Didn't you had the oldest printing press building in the country right there at Espana cor Dapitan (not sure), and that old building was demolished in favor of a modern design??!!! I think it's better for the old building to be preserved in its original form as possible.

If nobody is planning the buildings, who is approving them?

^ exactly, because these venues (cuneta and ninoy) are full of lawless elements. if a place like ultra can accommodate uaap fans (car-wise, security-wise), ust can do better. with the new gym's creation, security will be tighter, unlike in other uaap venues.

sinagot mo na rin pala ang iyong haka-haka. ;)

[Bahay_Na_Bato]

Mukhang maganda itong bagong gym ng UST, kaso maliit. Mas maliit kaysa sa Blue Eagle Gym, at baka mas maliit kaysa sa ULTRA, pero hamak laki naman compared sa ibang venue sa ibang UAAP school na may provisions para sa audience.

Pero kung location nga naman, baka nga ok ito, kasi medyo gitna nga naman ang UST. Yun nga lang, kung train ang transportation na ginagamit mong madalas na pang-commute, medyo malayo na ito mula sa nearest train station.

Safe sa loob ng UST pero sa España, Morayta at along U-belt hindi. ;)

Maganda talaga kung ganyan na ganyan ang mangyari gaya ng nasa plano.

[isQuash]

if the fans feel their safety is at stake by watching games at the new ust gym, ipagpaliban na lang nila. but knowing uaap fans, boy, kahit saan pa 'yan talagang pupuntahan.

kahit saan naman may mga kawatan. ingat lang.

[tequilaboy]

Sa pagbabasa ko ng mga post ng ilang Tomasino dito eto lang ang masasabi ko, ang mga paring Dominikano, may "EDIFICE COMPLEX" din pala parang si Imelda Marcos noong first lady pa siya. Mahilig din pala sila sa buildings. Hehe.

Observation lang din, di lang isang beses ako nakapasok ng UST at namangha ako sa laki ng campus at sa dami at laki rin ng mga buildings (marami akong barkada diyan noon, dating Thomasians ang kapatid ko at mga pinsan, at muntik na rin akong maging Thomasian) pero isang obserbasyon sa mga buildings sa campus ninyo, parang walang coherence. Magkakaiba lahat ng itsura, parang palabok na tingnan. Halo-halong istilo. Sana man lang kinonsidera ng mga pari diyan na magkaroon ng iisang istilo ang lahat ng mga gusali diyan para naman mas maganda tingnan hindi ba? Inadapt na lang sana nila yung look/style ng isang existing structure (halimbawa yung Main Bldg.) para sa lahat ng mga gusaling ipinatayo/ipatatayo ng pamantasan. Mas magandang tingnan hindi ba? Hindi naglalaban yung magkakaibang mga istilo.

[clawed_out]

^ each building has a story.

[jarthel]

how about a new building? I was in UST years ago with a friend who studied there. We went the the main building (the one you can see from Espana).

The rats are as big as kittens!!!

[Ashlars]

Security reasons. ;)

Mukhang mas maangas rin ang 400M project sa NU ng mga Sy. Mas kaabang-abang dahil credible ang financier. :)

Mas may credible financier pa ba than the Vatican? :naughty:

I'm joking of course but I'm sure UST has the money to undertake such a massive project. We just don't flaunt our wealth. It's not UST's character.

Ba't para kasing pinagdududahan mo ang funding ng UST gym?

'Wag mainggit. Nakamamatay 'yan.

ang curious ako e yung nakatagong 'collections' ng uste na ayaw ilabas. kaya daw punuin ang buong main building e.

medyo malaki nga yung P500M na budget para sa gym lang. i hope pamatay nga ang facilities nito. pwede na yung 6000 na capacity nito. yung ninoy aquino stadium, halos ganito rin ang capacity. ang ateneo gym ay mas malaki, nasa 7500, pero layo naman.

@tequilaboy: Thanks for the observations.

In terms of coherence inside the campus, I think tama lang naman except for the parking area/mini-mall (this they have to re-do), TYK and the new gym. Other than that, I think only time will tell how they all add up in the future. I mean, in some other countries, you'll see the old and the new side by side without cancelling each other out, each time you'd discover something beautiful and different in a corner. I find that very charming and romantic.

I just wonder how the campus area is being planned out. They have to stop building na after the gym. Pero I heard UST's going to buy the lot in front of archi building, Espana cor P. Noval. And that they're going to put up an enclosed overpass. Pero sana underpass na lang para hindi masira 'yung view. Tutal naman pagmamay-ari dati ng UST 'yung Espana sa tapat.

ang alam ko, yung lugar ng swimming pool, patatayuan nila ng 7-storey building na paglalagyan ng dormitory para sa athletes. magiging indoor na siguro ang pool pag nagkataon.

pwede ba nilang gibain ang isabel building at patayuan ng hi-rise tower na tulad ng sa DLSU. tutal wala naman ito sa loob ng campus.

pagmamay-ari noon, hindi na ngayon. i don't think the present owners will sell the area to ust unless they badly need the money.

No, I was talking about the Espana road itself which is a public domain now, I believe. Since I suggested na gumawa na lang ng underpass instead of an overpass sakaling totoo nga na bibilhin 'yung lote sa tapat.

[isQuash]

i've been to the ateneo gym but that was eons ago so i forgot. i thought ust will transfer the ithm in the opposite side of espanya?whatever happened to that plan?

sana sa bagong gagawing ust gym walang monobloc chairs.panira ng view.

[tequilaboy]

@tequilaboy: Thanks for the observations.

Salamat din sa pag-appreciate ng aking munting analysis. *okay*

Pa OT lang saglit:
Eto example lang po ah, sa inyong kapitbahay na campus sa Morayta, ang mga luma at bagong building ay nagko-coexist. Sa campus, dalawa ang bagong building (FEU-EAC Bldg. & FEU-Technology Hall) pero nagblend ito seamlessly sa iba pang mga buildings. Talagang itinaga na sa bato ng mga Montinola na kung may mga itatayo mang mga building sa campus, ito ay dapat nasa istilong Art Deco lamang.


Sa pagtatayo ng UST ng bagong gym, madadagdagan din ang mga lugar na pwedeng pagdausan ng mga palaro sa UAAP. May bagong events venue na din ang mga Thomasians. Hindi na mababasa kapag may mga pa-concert. Sa mga susunod na taon din, malamang ang madadaluhan kong Paskuhan ay indoors na, sa bagong-bagong UST Gym. Can't wait!:lol:

[shamhoy]

daga sa main building hahaha

funny! :lol:

A rat inside the Tiger's lair? Tapang naman nun :D

[I'm_so_fly!]

DANG! the gym looks soooooo fine! haha! too bad I already left UST! booohhhoooo!!! LOL

[haLeberd]

Cool.. Tabi pa talaga ng building namin ang bagong gym. Maaabutan ko pa kaya yun? Hehe... :D

Hey guys, kelan ba talaga matatapos ang gym? sa 2010? or sakto sa 2011?

in architecture, we call it layering. different 'layers' of the past to present styles are used convey story and rich heritage. kaya ganun ang mga buildings sa uste. "walang coherence" sabi mo nga. pero there's are reason behind that 'incoherent' look. *okay*

[HARE]

The TAN YAN KEE Building being a donation by Lucio Tan, UST Priests didn't have the choice to say no or yes to the architect for it was of course the choice of the Donor, Lucio Tan who will design the building. The designer was a UP Graduate...

According to a UST Archi professor when he suggest to a priest to buy parcel of vacant lots around the Vicinity of UST, the Priest immediately dismissed the idea and said that why buy land outside when we still have here inside?

I mean UST is a good school, despite of the rotten system, the stubborn administrators, and "average" students UST manages to produce the best of the best in this country. Kaya nga madami pumupukol....sayang lang kasi if they learn to maximize everything they have, work structurally organized, and most importantly if the admin learns to respect and honor its alumnni, then most likely UST will rise above the ranks in the internatinal scene.

Yung pagiging conservative lang naman at uto-uto ng mga Dominican priests ang pumipigil sa progress ng UST. Sayang lang kasi, if UST is just as bold and agressive as Ateneo or DLSU malamang kung gano ka okay ngayon...hindi na matatawaran in the future...

.*okay**okay*


one more thing, UST should somehow improve its marketing strategies kasi masyado pa pa humble eh. UST should furthermore stregthen its ties with UST Alumni para bumalik balik naman :bop:


Just my two cents.

[Ashlars]

Compared with Ateneo's or DLSU's, UST's alumni relations leave much to be desired. It's one major area that the school needs to improve on.

I remember an incident before, as I was about to enter UST via Lacson gate, I was asked by the guard what I was going to do inside! Ugh, the temerity! Kelan pa naging super gated ang UST? So I showed the guard my alumni card and I told him that I was going to hear mass.

May isang incident din before, sa Dapitan gate naman, tinanong din ako ng guard kung ano ang pakay ko sa loob. As usual magsisimba ako so I showed him my alumni card, aba, pinag log ako sa visitor's sheet! 'Di ko nga nilagay real name ko. Sinimangutan ko pa sha.

Paging Office for Alumni Relations. Please work doubly hard! Wala naman palang silbi ang alumni card na 'yan.

[isQuash]

offtopic: the alumni card is a waste.it won't bring you anywhere in ust.i used to go to the library to do some research but i eventually stopped because i still have to pay an extra amount to get inside despite showing them my i.d. which back then costs 100pesos.ano pa silbi nun?wala.

on topic:encanto, KJ kapag sa loob ng gym magpapaskuhan.ipaubaya na lang natin sa games, at concerts ang gym.

[Ashlars]

Never magiging indoor activity ang Paskuhan. Bringing it indoors would rob the event of all the excitement that it brings. Besides, if gagawin ito sa loob, paano na lang ang non-Thomasians who take part in the Paskuhan as well? Kapag walang ID, di pwede maki-pasko?

Anyway, yes, isQuash, wala talagang silbi ang alumni card na ito so when mine expired, I never thought of renewing it. Perhaps when new and substantial benefits/privileges are introduced, that's when I'll renew.

iSquash, do you by any chance, play squash?

[isQuash]

ashlars, i used to play squash when i was little but i'm more into cars and futbol now. why did you ask?

ang bagong gym po natin sa UST ay sa malapit po sa eng'g
so gigbahin na yung eng'g complex at yung yung covered
basketball court dun at sakupin din po yung football field dun.
so meron parin po yung grandstand natin para sa Paskuhan.

[Ashlars]

ashlars, i used to play squash when i was little but i'm more into cars and futbol now. why did you ask?

Curious lang kasi ako sa squash for the exercise. It looks fun! I used to play tennis often though.

Football? I took it for one semester during my PE class and it was okay. I was the goalie! :D

Cars? Out of my league. :rotflmao:

sabihin mo sa school mo patayo din sila ng gym

[bahamut_zero]

Kelan ba matatapos ang bagong gym? Balita ko 2010 daw. Excited na ako sa bagong gym na ito. Sana maganda ang kalabasan nito.
At least. multi purpose na, meron dance hall, main basketball court, at mga iba pang facilities.

Yung lumang gym, sana yung ibang part, gawing classrooms nalang.

Hi Viva! No, I have never played squash although I've always been interested to try it. Excellent cardio activity kasi. As for the indoor track, I think meron din ganyan ang Moro Lorenzo ng Ateneo.

'Di talaga maiwasan mainggit ng ibang tao eh ano? Pati pagpopondo na P500 million eh pinagdududahan. Ano ba akala nila sa UST? Poor? :rolleyes:

@ iFly: As for the UAAP General Championship, yes indeed 10 consecutive years ng general champion ang UST. Overall, 34 times ng general champion ang kinaiingitan na UST. Ngayon, sino kaya ang may pinakamalakas na sports program among the UAAP schools? The UAAP is more than just basketball. So what, KUNG laglag na ang UST sa Final Four? We've won basketball championships often enough, and these were accomplished in the grandest of fashions.

Eh totoo naman eh. 'Yung sweep nung 1993, 'yung classic championship matches ng UST versus La Salle during the 90s at shempre, yung improbable yet impactful win ng UST over the highly-fancied, overly-hyped Ateneo team nung 2006 championship that reduced Doug Kramer to tears on court.

As for the old gym, it will stay where it is. Ayaw ata ipa-demolish ng Dominican priests. I just don't know what they'll do with it.

seriously, you guys are very funny.
if your school is getting a new gym, by all means get one!
we dont care if its hightech or huge, the only thing that annoy us here is the serious lack of prudence on the part of some thomasian here. you can flaunt your new gym in the proper forum which in my opinion your school portal or ust.net, that is perfectly fine but to share this to all of us, it then, appears that you people were counting your chickens way too early. construction has not even began and to add more salt to this wound, your basketball team will most likely get axed in that all important f4 race this season(ironic eh?)

now going back to your overall race, congratulations winning 10 year straight is a class act to follow.

ok kids, happy? now channel those energy on cheering for your tigers because they will most likely play their last basketball game this season within this week or early nextweek.

overall i'll give ue 80-20 chances of getting that last f4 seat.
ust simply is a disappointment this season.

nuff said, goodbye to ust!:D

[zacharaiolsen]

may pool rin ba ang bagong UST gym? hehe. para magkaron na ng PE na synchronized swimming sa UST come 2011, at di malayong magkaron rin ng ganitong event sa UAAP in 15 years hehe.

sana gawing skating rink yung old gym, para mas madevelop ang talents ng pinoy sa figure skating. our country has been dominating this sport these past years, kahit wala namang snow sa pinas! hehe. salamat sa MOA at megamall. at dahil may gymnastics facilities rin sa bagong UST gym, pwede na ring magkaron ng mga PE like wushu, ang tanging medalyang ginto ng PInas sa Beijing na di naman kasali sa medal tally.. haaayy

ashlars, hindi lang po si doug kramer ang humagulgol at halos gumapang sa court ng matalo sila nung 2006, pati na rin si JC intal.

It's not like we begged you to visit this thread and implored you to enlighten us with your insightful opinion. Why are you so affected by the new gym anyway? Which school do you hail from? :rolleyes:

UST might say goodbye in basketball this week but the fact remains: We have the best and most successful sports program in the UAAP. Enough said, now shoo Fly and don't bother us.

Masyado yatang natuwa si pepman sa balita kaya he decided to create this thread. Ang di ko lang ma-gets most people here kahit yung taga-ibang universities ay happy dahil sa bagong gym. Dahil nga it will add a venue for certain UAAP events. Obviously nairita ka dahil sa tingin mo masyadong pinag-mamalaki ng mga tomasinos ang gym na 'to.

ust wala sa f4, matatalo ng up pep sa cdc pero iiwu daw nila ang overall? weh may overall pero kulang sa ligaya walang oomph yung panalo kasi walang basketball wala pang cdc.

goodbye jervy, goodbye japs GOODBYE USTE! see you next year?:lol:
di bale my bagong gym naman kayo kaso sa 2010 pa ang tagal naman, may bagong gym talo naman ang basketball team ala rin.

Weh. The thread being what you call "public property" then I guess where it's placed should be of no concern to you as well.

At sigurado ka ba na magcha-champion ang team mo? Baka naman humagulgol kayo in the end ha?

FEU
DLSU
UE ( kahit di pa sigurado )


san ka dun?

di mo pa pinapangalanan ang school mo.!

[neskafe]

you can flaunt your new gym in the proper forum which in my opinion your school portal or ust.net
If that's the case, then threads like "Ateneo Fans: Kamae or Portia?", "Chris Tiu - Role Model of a True "All-Business" Student-Athlete", "The Official UP FIGHTING MAROONS Thread" and the rest should be posted in their respective school forums.

eh ano naman ang paki ng uaap sa bagong gym na uste?
Well, I am certain enough to say that some UAAP games will be held at the new gym hence, the UAAP community should care. Going back to what was previously quoted, I believe that this is in it's proper forum. Heck, if it is not, then it should have been moved/deleted a long time ago by the Moderators.

True. Like, who cares if Chris Tiu is a role model? But since he's a UAAP athlete, and some people really do care about what Chris Tiu does with his life, then the mods suppose that it's okay for the thread to be in the UAAP forum.

Utak langaw kasi ang ibang PEXers dito. Hindi na lang kasi aminin na naiinggit sila. :rolleyes:

weh sure ka na dyan gagawin ang uaap? wala pa yung gym at matagal pa ang 2010 pag andyan na saka kayo magsalita. sa ngayon iayos nyo ang basketball program nyo ba feast and retreat. my guess is pido is only good for a chamba title after that miracle win, he turned your team into one serious mess.

2010 pa pala ang dami nang sinasabi, goodbye ust tyak yun tangal kayo sa thursday against lasalle, I think this week will end like a usain bolt for these people, end of your season and I hope end of all the gloating in this forum.

up pep will win the cdc and 80-20 chances that your team will end your season this thursday or sunday, now go back to ust and pray that the game atleast be decent enough to be a farewell dance for your tigers.

Arci people are really concern about the growing problem in UST's scarcity of land. As a matter of fact, the UST Archi held a symposium in 2006 (When I was graduating) to raise the awareness among Thomasians. Unfortunately Dominican fathers were not interested in the concern intiated by the Architecture department. Not a single priest attended the symposium.

sama nyo na ko jan. sobrang concern ako sa mga recent infra developments sa loob ng UST kase parang di bumabagay sa conservative/ traditional/ historical aura ng campus. DAPAT MAPANSIN NA NG MGA DOMINIKANO ITO!

...Take for example the Tan Yankee Student Center. Alam nyo ba na halos lahat ng kilala kong archi nagdadasal na sana lumindol tapos gumuho na yun....next yung Beato hehe.

sama mo rin ako jan. mangiyak-ngiyak ako nang matapos yang Tan Yankee Student Center na yan. sobrang pangeeeet! Panet din ang Beato.

I hope this new administration of Fr. Rolando dela Rosa would be more open to this idea...we boast of the best Architecture program sa Philippines and yet hindi naman natin ginagamit sa sarili nating bahay. Nakakafrustrate lang talaga.

sakto. nakakafrustrate. nakakahiya din.

Unfortunately Dominican fathers were not interested in the concern intiated by the Architecture department. Not a single priest attended the symposium.

What is more frustrating to know is that UST doesn't have a University planning office...so hindi planado yang pag tayo nila ng pagtayo ng building. When I asked a certain professor if they have a say on the uncontolled infrastructure developments sa UST they say wala. Kasi masyado daw close minded ang mga pari. Even more frustrating is that they keep on building buildings sa UST na hindi namamximize yung talent ng Architecture talents and Alumni...Take for example the Tan Yankee Student Center. Alam nyo ba na halos lahat ng kilala kong archi nagdadasal na sana lumindol tapos gumuho na yun....next yung Beato hehe.

And you say our basketball team is loser? 19 titles (tied with FEU) with the most number of UAAP titles, you call a loser. Nag four peat ng 90s, the only team to sweep a basketball season (1993), winning the 69 crown after going 2-5. Yun ba loser? Eh *** loser sa post mo eh.

to non-thomasians who feel proud and excited about ust's new gym, thank you very much.this gym is not only for ust but for the whole uaap community.

[Gospel of Judas]

palagay ko sakto na yang ust gym. para lasalle-ateneo games nalang ang araneta. maganda naman yan. moderno.

[encanto]

hindi ba kulang na kulang ang ~5k seating capacity for UAAP games?

Karaniwan, hindi naman napupuno ang Ultra, BEG, Cuneta at NAS sa elimination round. So, tama lang siguro ang capacity.

Hindi lang natin alam kung kasama na sa bilang 'yung sa gen ad, kung meron man.

i believe na hindi lang 5 thousand ang capacity niyan. baka umabot pa ng 10 to 15 thousand if possible.

please po. wala pong issue ng corruption sa pagka-hold ng new UST hospital. im sure yun ang tinutukoy mo. kung pinag-usapan man ng iba na meron, haka-haka lang na maituturing. ang totoo, napakalaking halaga kasi ang involve -- P3billion. Nag-aalala ang mga nasa itaas [dun sa Rome] na malagay sa pinansyal na panganib ang unibersidad kaya nakialam sila. kaya pumunta dito ang pinakamataas na pinunong dominikano para ayusin ang lahat. kasama duon ang, tawag natin ay, pagsibak sa pamunuan. sa kapariang dominikano, vow of obedience tawag nila dun. ;)

actually last time nandun ako yun pa rin yung flooring ng Moro Gym. kaso i heard since marami nang "outsiders" ang nagrerent ng court sa Moro, (ex. PBA teams) pinapalit palitan na ng admin yung floor. sayang naman kung malalaspag lang ng kung sino sino diba? :D nevertheless that NBA 2000 All-Star Game floor is still a prized possession of Ateneo. sila lang magdedecide kung ikakabit nila or not depende siguro sa occassion. *okay*

yup maganda ang Moro Lorenzo Gym as well as yung bagong gym sa Lasalle. but for sure yung sa UST ang magiging pinakamaganda sa lahat since obviously it will be the newest with the most latest facilities and equipment when its done. sans the badtrip traffic situation in España Ave. im sure magandang venue yan for UAAP sports and events including basketball games. *okay*

@ isQuash

the Moro Lorenzo Gym was designed purely as a training facility only with a multi function basketball court, worldclass gym/weight lifting/aerobics facilities, PT/rehabilitation facilities, etc. and not as a fully functional events venue since Ateneo still has the BEG and numerous large scale covered basketball courts all over the campus. so to speak there are only minimal bleachers and seating areas in Moro Gym.

[isQuash]

ruckus,mas lalong magkakandatrapik trapik sa espanya kapag nagawa yan at dyan na gawin ilang basektball events!ano nga pala mga state-of-the-art facilities sa new gym ng uste?

Hi isQuash and joekristoffer!

I've no idea yet about the new gym's facilities. Although I still wish may indoor pool sa loob and tennis courts, emphasis on the "s" sa tennis courts.

Ang nagging question for me is, can the alumni use the facilities as well? Sana naman kasi maging efficient ang Office for Alumni Relations 'di ba?

[fatrat]

what are the plans for the old gym? will it be torn down to give way to other structures?

[Viva La Tigresa]

Ashlars, I really doubt if they will put up tennis courts there. 'Yun ngang tennis courts dati, tinanggal ginawang AMV at pay parking eh.

[Ashlars]

Ashlars, I really doubt if they will put up tennis courts there. 'Yun ngang tennis courts dati, tinanggal ginawang AMV at pay parking eh.

Susulat ako sa IPEA at sa OAR! Hindi pwede 'yan.

[Viva La Tigresa]

Sige Ash, sulat ka sa kanila. Sulat ka na rin na sana may silbi ang mga facilities na 'to sa alumni.

[HARE]

ganun talaga. dapat mejo mabilis dpat para hindi mahalata ang korupsiyon. kaso nabuking parin nung sa isang pinatayo eh. nasibak tuloy si Father (what a shame!).

No SWOOSH..just to give you an idea...when the construction is fast it means the PERT-CPM is followed. UST buildings were constructed faster than the ordinary because of 24 hours labor take for example the Beato and the AMV. When I say labor, it means that people behind the construction is on call 24 hours a day, work doesn't stop including the main architect, the contractors, the project managers, the consultants, and the laborers.

Now about corruption, I bet you have not read any articles really about the said corruption. I suggest that before you comment, you must know to your self if your brain did ably analyze the subject. You must have heard it from the erratic news of ABS-CBN..sorry to drag ABS, but it's true deliver false infos most of the time. Anyway, the issue was the 3 Billion deal which was previously agreed upon by the UST Hospital admin which the priests didn't agree to because of feasibility reasons.

I studied in UST for nearly 8 years and there was not a single corruption issue ever. You will see naman kasi where the money is going, plus colleges works independently so a fraction only goes to the admin...

As for all of you guys, will you stop feeling insecure about yourselves. Just go home, study hard, be good at what you do and try to be a better person everyday.

Para sa mga UST haters jan, hehe if you will only go to the school and experience UST, malalaman nyo na malayong malayo ang iniisip nyong image from reality. When you are there everything is positive, no one is pressured to be good. In fact, kahit sangkatutak students dun I believe that it is a big part why UST remains as one of the best, if not the best in the country. We are such a mix of crowd, and you'd be surprised that you will find people there who looks up to UP, ATENEO,DLSU, people. So yung mga Thomasians na asal LANGAW jan, maybe they are still in theeir first or second years...hindi pa sila nakakain ng HUMBLE PIE na sa UST lang matatagpuan.hehe

[Ashlars]

Di ko nga din alam kung saan sila nagpa-practice. I watched the tennis championship matches last year sa Rizal Memorial and ang galing ng mga players natin.

Sa men's, UST beat DLSU tas sa women's, UST beat Ateneo.

Ang nakakatuwa pa is, kahit hindi engrande ang equipment ng players natin, they managed to win. Hindi ko nga alam yung brand ng tennis racket ng UST players eh :lol: pero sa Ateneo and La Salle, as in Wilson, Prince, etc., the works! At shempre ang Ateneo players, garbed in Adidas gear.

Pero talo pa din sila.

At nakakatawa din, may mga UP students supporting Ateneo.

There's nothing wrong with that, of course.

What I found really odd and hilarious is that they wore blue outfits with matching Ateneo headbands and armbands while chanting "Go Ateneo!" :rotflmao:

Not only feasibility issues.

I think the budget was too steep that it was in violation of Vatican rules. UST being a pontifical university, the previous administrators failed to get the approval of the Vatican before proceeding with the project. So when the Vatican learned about it, it had to of course, assert its authority.

There was nothing evil about the project. It's sad that people who've no real idea behind it are blabbering nonsense relentlessly.

[Viva La Tigresa]

As for Tennis..there are two tennis courts sa Central seminary....

Oh, so that's where they practice. I still prefer the old tennis courts located in the now AMV and paypark.

HARE, I don't think branded clothings for players make them win. It's PUSO, hardwork, and lots of practice. Kahit na puro Adidas at Nike pa ang suot nung ibang team, kung bopols naman maglaro, wala rin.

The Varsitarian

Vol. LXXX, No.2 July 31, 2008 www.varsitarian.net Manila, Philippines

Hospital tower scrapped

THE UNIVERSITY has decided to scrap plans to build a 19-story tower to expand the UST Hospital and would build a low-rise structure instead, as efforts to settle liabilities and get new investors to finance the expansion push through.

The expansion has been scaled down but there are plans to build a huge medical laboratory and expand the number of hospital rooms to 800 in keeping with the institution’s character as a teaching hospital, UST Rector Rolando de la Rosa bared. This means the project will only need P1 billion at the most instead of the original P3-billion loan contracted by his predecessor.

De la Rosa said UST is still servicing P600 million in hospital debts which include professional fees, repairs, renovations, and new equipment, among others.

But UST will not pay P126 million in fees being demanded by the loan arranger of the syndicate of three banks — Development Bank of the Philippines, Land Bank, and Philtrust Bank — considering the P3-billion loan did not push through.

“The loan arranger is charging the University P126 million because according to them the contract is already finished,” De la Rosa told the Varsitarian following a courtesy call with the staff.

“However, I refused to pay because according to the contract, their commission is premised on the first draw down, yet, there was no draw down.”

Plans to expand and commercialize the UST Hospital were ordered reviewed by the Dominican hierarchy last year following an intra-order dispute that saw the resignations of UST Rector Fr. Ernesto Arceo, O.P., Vice Rector Juan Ponce, O.P., and the head of the Filipino Dominicans, Fr. Edmund Nantes, O.P. last September.

Dominican Master-General Carlos Azpiroz Costa had found the loan too substantial and ordered it cancelled or renegotiated, considering that UST might not be able to afford the terms.

“If ever we improve the facilities, equipment, and structure of the hospital, it must not go beyond P1 billion because based on the income statement of the hospital, it is impossible for it to pay even the interest of the P3-billion loan,” De la Rosa explained.

The redevelopment plans are still being reviewed, he said, and the University was in talks with some groups interested to invest.

“UST plans to construct a big laboratory for the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and 800 state-of-the-art rooms in the main hospital,” he said, adding that plans for a 19-story hospital building were abandoned also because it would have overshadowed the 80-year-old Main Building, whose cross-topped tower should remain the highest point in the UST campus.

The main hospital will be radically renovated to house the emergency ward, the ambulatory ward, surgical theaters and rooms that will house all the equipment, De la Rosa added.

The Rector said he had asked some doctors to invest in the hospital’s redevelopment plan but there were no takers.

“Hopefully, by this month, we will be able to finalize some agreements with the people who are interested to help us to continue the project,” De la Rosa said. N.Q. Angulo

Di ko nga din alam kung saan sila nagpa-practice. I watched the tennis championship matches last year sa Rizal Memorial and ang galing ng mga players natin.

Sa men's, UST beat DLSU tas sa women's, UST beat Ateneo.

Ang nakakatuwa pa is, kahit hindi engrande ang equipment ng players natin, they managed to win. Hindi ko nga alam yung brand ng tennis racket ng UST players eh :lol: pero sa Ateneo and La Salle, as in Wilson, Prince, etc., the works! At shempre ang Ateneo players, garbed in Adidas gear.

Pero talo pa din sila.

At nakakatawa din, may mga UP students supporting Ateneo.

There's nothing wrong with that, of course.

What I found really odd and hilarious is that they wore blue outfits with matching Ateneo headbands and armbands while chanting "Go Ateneo!" :rotflmao:

again, like what ive said tungkol sa SDT, at least athletes ng admu may career after college. sa inyo??? san pinupulot??? well, exemption siguro mga gaya nila tsomlee go

^tshomlee go. napakatabang naman ng dila mo. wala ka sa katayuang manghusga

Sana makadaan ako sa UST ngayong pasko pagbakasyon namin dyan para makita ko yung mga bagong facilities at makakain sa Almers, hehehe.

[letsrockandroll]

sana naman if ever man na mafinish na yang gym na yan, makakakuha ulit tayo ng championship sa Basketball :laugh:


@swoosh: debarred! :lol:

[rush_hour]

I'm an Atenean and I would have to say masaya nga sa crowd ng UST pag CDC! I was on their side 2 years ago with a few of my Thomasian friends. Sarap mag cheer ng "Go Uste!" kahit hindi ako from UST. Ahahahaha!

Pero pag basketball, mas masaya pa rin for me ang Ateneo crowd! :)

*wag niyo na pansinin si swoosh :)

[deronwilliams08]

Sayang o di ko na maaabutan, Last Year ko na sa UST to eh, Mas malapit pa naman tong Gym na to sa Building namin.

thanks rush hour.nakakaindak naman kasi ang go uste..lahat ng crowd sa araneta nahahawa kapag yun na ang cheer.

[aj_16]

well, kudos to UST for aquiring a new gym,
i heard may problems na daw sa old gym niyo eh,
my sister is a chemical eng'g graduate of UST,
sayang daw di na niya naabutan yung bagong gym...

i also think this will be a better alternative venue for uaap games whenever araneta is not available...
1.accessible,
2.convenient and
3.I think safe naman contrary to what other
pexers think, sa loob naman ng USTe yun eh.....

OT: during my high school days, i often went to uaap games
UST games in particular to cheer with my sister...
i'm one of those who cheered during the '06 finals....
GO USTE, GO USTE, GO USTE, GO GO GO GO!!!!!
with matching yellow balloons, :lol:
that was a UST classic, iba yung feeling nung game na yun
maybe because the win is so unexpected, taking into account
ATENEO's record that season...
NEVER SAY DIE!!!!

Gusto ko lang ishare...nung 4th yr HS ako...nanunuod ako ng UAAP sa TV. It was my first time na mapanuod ang cheerdance.

During that time, wala sa isip ko na papasa ako sa UST kaya hindi ko muna kinosider na makakapasa ako ng USTe.

Then when the announcer gave the floor to UST and pinakita sa TV ang "Go USTe"...tae yan! sobrang kinilabutan ako. Ang ganda tingnan. Sobrang united pala ng UST nung nakita ko yun. Kasi nung nakita ko una sa UP sabi ko WAW! ang ganda ng cheer...sa UST pala talagang dominating...ang ganda ng balloons sabay sabay..

hahahhaa
:lol:

Haha..pero syempre 4th yr HS pako nun...ngayon Thomasian na ako.=)

[stonecold316]

ganun talaga. dapat mejo mabilis baka sakali hindi mahalata ang korupsiyon. kaso nabuking parin nung sa isang pinatayo eh. nasibak tuloy si Father (what a shame!).


Sa ateneo, karamihan sa napro-produce nila kungdi mayayabang, mukhang pera, walang modong alumni at mga corrupt government officials. Nawala nga ang mga kastila, amerikano at hapon, napalitan naman ng mga mayayaman na Atenista na mahilig mang-apak ng kapwa nila. Kagaya ng isa na ito na inggit na inggit sa mga Tomasino. Palibhasa papansin eh.

Panay banat mo eh olats ka naman.

[stonecold316]

Ang daming mga inggit sa UST. Grabe!

stonecold316, hinay hinay lang ;)

magaling ang ateneo. In fact, Majority of them nasa Multi national companies like Proctor and Gamble, Unilever and to name a few...

i salute some of them. magaling sila. i dont want to rub my elbows in, pero as far as i can see it, ateneans tend to be witty and smart. which is a PLUS for being an atenista. even if lasalista at Tomasino ako.

to be frankly though, gusto ko sa ateneo. sa totoo lang, i wanted to become an atenean hehehe. hopefully, makalusot ako sa Ateneo Law School, 2nd Undergraduate course in Ateneo or even the Ateneo MBA program. hehe

gusto ko makumpleto ko yung UST- La Salle- Ateneo education ko. para iba iba culture and educational experiences ko sa life ko


UST on the other hand is also good. In fact, tayo nanguguna sa various board exams sa pinas. medicine, architecture and to name a few. may problems lang talaga sa admission and marketing strategies ng pontifical university, which is I believe should be corrected in the first place.'

Just my two cents.


On topic: so kelan na ba talaga matatapos itong Gym na ito.. excited na ako eh. ;) sayang, i won't be able to see this personally pag nagawa na. gragraduate na ako eh. (kung gragraduate!) :lol:

[isQuash]

sana ang bagong ust gym ay maging ganito ang ichura kapag may basketball game:

[markfroilan]

I really appreciate the dominican fathers investments in developing the grounds of the space scarce UST manila. But on a heavier extent, i cladly hope that projects to ameliorate the intellectual standing of the university be pushed harder and hence more money on knowledge rather than facade upgrades. Thank you UST and more power.

[ericajoieake]

I hope the gym will finish as soon as possible, I can't wait to see the gym!

what's the use of a new gym if they still have the same coach and the same system? :D

[theeng69]

again, like what ive said tungkol sa SDT, at least athletes ng admu may career after college. sa inyo??? san pinupulot??? well, exemption siguro mga gaya nila tsomlee go
dude, Atenean din ako pero, to be fair, kaya may trabaho ang iba nating athletes kahit di sila magaling academically dahil favored sila ng rich alumni ng Ateneo. always account for our rich alumni support.:D

BTW, dapat pinalitan muna ng Dominicans ang coaching staff especially Pido before putting too much money on the gym.

[stonecold316]

Huwag ka na humirit about Pido dahil suportado siya ng UST community. Problemahin mo sarili mong school.

[theeng69]

I don't have a problem with my skul. hehehe.

UST community gives their support to the wrong person. They should leave none for Pido and more for the players. Sa players, malaki ang tiwala ko.

[stonecold316]

Like I said dude, walang problema kay Pido. Abangan mo na lang kapag nag champion uli ang USTe.

[byron13]

Nasimulan na bang gawin ngayong October? :confused:Yun kasi ang sinabi sa VARSITARIAN website dati.

Sigurado excited na di lang mga USTathletes kundi pati na ang mga Thomasian"studentry'' para sa kanilang graduation at iba pang "ceremonies" na pwedeng gawin doon.

Madalas kasi sa UST Medicine Auditorium ang venue para sa mga ganitong activities.

[markfroilan]

ay naku pag baha,,,,,lubog!!

[gioboy]

^ may magbubukas daw na pumping station malapit sa USTe sabi ni BF kaya mababawasan na daw ang baha sa Espana/Sampaloc area. :)

[migoyanimo]

Pumunta ako UST para i-meet bestfriend ko. Napansin ko kumonti na yung puno sa may harap. Ang sarap pa naman tumambay dun, malilim tapos mahangin.

Hello Migoyanimo!

Good day, Pinutol ata yung mga puno na yun kasi gagawing extension ng Plaza Mayor yung area na iyon. yung plaza Mayor yun yung in front of the Main Building na puro bricks. di ko magets yung essence niya bakit siya ginawang ganun. :rolleyes::bop:

[markfroilan]

si fr. pinto nagpaputol nun, landscaping daw niya, ako din e di ko nagustuhan un, parang see thru na thong ng babae na lang, hindi lace, ahaha

Benavides Park clears up with trees
By John Constantine G. Cordon
EVEN trees have their “hair” done.

Called “tree pruning,” the lower branches of the trees in Benavides Park have been cut to achieve their natural form and to improve growth.

Fr. Roberto Pinto, O.P., head of the Facilities and Management Office, explained that every species of trees spread their branches toward a distinct direction, giving them their overall shape.

For instance, acacias have an umbrella-shaped top; mahoganies have branches sticking out of the trunk diagonally; narras have an elongated crown shape; and flame trees have branches slightly bowing at the end.

“When you prune trees, you have to cut them in such a way that they can achieve their forms when they grow again. You don’t just cut and cut. You have to follow the trees’ natural growth,” Pinto told the Varsitarian.

So if the once shady landscape looked all of the sudden bare and bland, this was because the trees have to be pruned. This should be done every five years, said Pinto, a former UST treasurer.

Forgotten

During his first tenure in UST in the 1990s, Pinto said he made sure the trees on campus were pruned. But when he left the University in 1997, nobody bothered to continue the practice.

As a result, UST failed to reap pruning’s more profound benefits.

For instance, pruning helps prevent trees from being uprooted during storms. After Typhoon Milenyo struck in 2006, “everybody saw the effect,” Pinto said. Some of the biggest trees in the campus were toppled.

Pinto said pruning gives trees the ability to withstand surging winds because less branches means less obstruction. Wind traffic will be smoother with less branches blocking the way, he said.

Since there are fewer branches, sunlight can reach the ground, promoting grass growth, he added.

“If you see the grass (in the Benavides Park) all dried up, it is because the tree is already blocking the sunlight, inhibiting grass growth,” Pinto explained.

A variation of pruning called “crown lifting” makes trees look taller since the lower branches are trimmed. The framework of the branches and twigs, called the crown, appears “lifted” with the lower branches removed. As a result, there’s also less obstruction for people walking at the Benavides Park.

Despite the project’s good intentions, Pinto said it still raised some eyebrows in UST.

“Of course there were comments; you cannot take that away,” Pinto said. “But if you explain to them the rationale of the tree pruning and that it has to be done, eventually, they understand.”

In the meantime, Pinto said all bushes and shrubs that will be taken away to clear the park will likely be transferred near the Father’s Residence once the Rector gives his permission.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The tree-pruning project of the Facilities Management Office at the Benavides Plaza is not part of the planned expansion of the Plaza Mayor as what was previously stated in the caption of a photo that appeared in the Aug. 31, 2008 issue of the Varsitarian. We apologize for the error.

^comment lang sana sa article. it wasn't necessary to say that Pinto was a former UST treasurer since it didn't contribute to the development of the topic of the article. wala lang.:D

[theeng69]

on topic. sana di prone sa baha ang bagong gym ng USTe.

[epalog]

^in my four years in the u, i never heard of pinto. and then here he comes now, being named as ust's head of facilities and management office, and pruning trees. so indicating pinto was ust's former treasurer sort of helps to establish who pinto is.

[bahamut_zero]

kung hindi talaga maiiwasan yung baha sa loob ng campus, i think maganda kung elevated yung grounds ng bagng gym.

excited na ako sa bagong gym. makadaan nga minsan sa ust *** tingnan kung simula na kung construction.

bumabaha sa loob ng UST? Kala ko sa Espanya lang.

[joshua3]

^Sa Espanya lang din alam ko. Di ko pa naranasan bahain sa loob ng campus kasi pag nagsisimula ng bahain ang Espanya at ideneklara na na suspended classes, uwi kagad ako hehe...

[gioboy]

Sabi ni Bayani sa isang interview mababawasan na raw ang baha sa Sampaloc area dahil may bubuksan daw na pumping station malapit dito. Sana totoo.

[markfroilan]

Fr. Pinto was the UST vice rector for finance(its a revised title for UST Treasurer that for me sounds like 'banker' or moneyman) during my stay at the UST (1997-2002). Being part of the CFAD student council in 01 I had the pleasure of having courtesy calls with the then hectic scheduled cheque issuing priest, he would usually cut our meetings and approve P5M cheques in 3 mins. thats fast. he spearheaded upgrading the facilities of the campus (the P5M was for the upgrade of classroom windows of the UST pay high school). hes very generous and if you tease him for treats, kasama *** buong barkada mo libre niya. mabait yan. he is a friend of the late dr. eduardo de leon, mamas boss in pharmacy, when he ordered the trees cut in the botanical garden and trimmed the species collection and put up a P5M butterfly sanctuary that eventually disappeared after a typhoon, mama candidly had a word with him. they are friends, well so much for the 'conpendium of trees and shrubs in the UST campus' booklet, most of the plants are gone now. i just hope our campus wont end up a slab of rock along espana as it is slowly turning out to be.

[joshua3]

^Your apprehension is as good as mine. I think Sampaloc's concrete jungle is slowly eating UST .

ang alam ko bumabaha sa USTe pero not as high as the one in espana. baha man o hindi cool pa rin kung elevated yung gym.:D

Kelan mag-uumpisa ang construction ng bagong gym?

[deronwilliams08]

D@mnit. Bakit ngayon lang? Kung kelan graduating na ko!.

Mas malapit pa naman sa Eng'g building.

[XCLUSIVEperson]

wala namang construction na nangyayari eh.

[letsrockandroll]

hay ewan ko ba diyan
feeling ko hindi yan matatapos on or before april 2011

let us see nalang.. :lol:

[theeng69]

Sa tingin ko mabilis lang yan matapos. Ang nagpapatagal diyan ay yung planning. Take for instance Ateneo's new on-campus dorm which took about 6 years to plan but only 7 months to construct. Kung di kukulangin sa funds at kung malaki ang attention na ibibigay ng mga pari sa pagconstruct ng bagong gym, malamang di siguro aabot ng isang taon ang construction nito.

[JimmySantos]

kami din sa JRU may bagong gym

[epalog]

good for you! :D

HIndi naman pinutol ang mga puno. Trim lang.
Ano na kaya ang itsura non? Hindi ko na ma-imagine...
