National University Bulldogs

[lovejones]

sa pipol po iyon doon sa docu ni ces drilon...yah kahabag habag ang sitwasyon nila

At least it's now coming to an end

[pGurl_n_Tamaraw]

i still remember that old Probe Team episode a few years ago comparing the NU Bulldogs with the DLSU Green Archers. kung napanood nyo it was both heartwarming at nakakalungkot at the sametime. pinakita yung Bulldogs practicing sa kanilang dilapidated gym(some call it antique, pwede din "old school" para di masyado kaawa-awa) then after practice they'll have a "Team Merienda" dun sa sari-sari store across the gate where they will indulge in spanish bread(lam nyo yun?), pandesal and softdrinks -- masaya na sila dun, ika nga masaya basta't samasama. on the other hand, yung Green Archers were practicing dun sa state of the art (bagong tayo) multi storey sports center, and going to Team dinners sponsored by rich alumni. Sa gabi naman yung Bulldogs would then come home to their again dilapidated Athletes Dorm, while yung Green Archers would come home to their Condominiums in Taft Ave. -- well sabi nga ni BJ Manalo dun.. "hirap din kasi 3 kami nagshashare dito sa condo.."

well at least its a comfort to know that hopefully those days are coming to an end. with the Sy's acquisition of NU and steady stream of funding(sinimulan na daw construction of a BRAND NEW Sports Complex -- Thank God) NU would finally have the RESPECT that they've always deserved. On a personal note, Ive always had a soft spot(like most pinoys do) for the underdogs.. ive been watching the UAAP since I was in gradeschool and Im not kidding eversince then and i dunno maybe till now, the NU team is still driving around in that antique bus of theirs (yung parang minibus na walang aircon tapos yung bintana gawa pa ata sa kahoy kailangan mo pa "isabit" pagumuulan) .. and sobrang nalulungkot ako for them(add the fact that napakaliit ng student support nila during games, i remember during the 90's marami na ata 20-30 NU students watching their games sa BEG). thats why i feel really happy for them whenever they win a game, kahit Ateneo pa talunin nila ok lang sa akin. let's face it .. everybody loves the underdogs.

This is one team whose training and recruitment I am very much interested in. Given the all out support of the owners, I'm sure a lot of positive things have been happening.

Good luck for NU and Adamson as well. All i can say is that, Bakit kailangan pa nga NU si Hans Sy? Anong gamit ng mga alumni nila? Hindi ba sila humingi muna ng tulong sa mg alumni nila bago pumasok si Sy? Tanong lang po.

Well, we'll be seeing more actions from NU and AdU benches. Kudos for our team..

Henry Sy buys 60% of National University


Email this | Email the Editor | Print | ShareThisMANILA, Philippines - Mall magnate Henry Sy, Sr. has joined the bandwagon of taipans who have acquired private universities, recently gaining control of the 108-year-old National University (NU) in Sampaloc, Manila.

SM Investments Corp. President Harley T. Sy told reporters last week that the Sy family bought a 60% stake in the country’s first private non-sectarian school last June from the family of the late founder, Mariano F. Jhocson.

The younger Sy however did not disclose how much the transaction was worth, saying only it was purely the Sy family’s decision and did not involve any of the company’s diverse units.

But he said the Sy family has a lot of plans for the school, and wants to make it one of the country’s top universities.

Mr. Sy said the plans include a new eight-story building inside the university campus and the renovation of some old buildings.

The new building is expected to rise in a 13,000-square-meter lot, housing new classrooms; laboratories, and a multi-purpose gymnasium on top and a swimming pool on the basement which both could hold up to 1,200 people.

Aside from the new building, which is due for construction later this month, the Sy family plans to add 16 more laboratories and expand the existing ones, increase the number of classrooms to 80, attract new faculty members, and make NU more active in sports, a source said.

"We are hoping [to] make it survive for the next twenty years. NU was based on the foundation [of] providing lower-cost [but] quality education [to students] compared to [the] other schools," he said.

The Sys plan to focus on courses like Nursing, Hotel and Restaurant Management, and Pharmacy because of the "increasing demand in these courses."

The Sy family reportedly wants to "overhaul" the small university and has been pirating professors from the country’s top four universities — Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, University of the Philippines-Diliman, and the University of Santo Tomas.

As of the moment, the source said the family has no plans to increase the school’s tuition next year despite the construction of the building and new facilities to be finished by May next year.

He nevertheless said that with the new facilities, the family expects NU’s enrollees, which has gone down significantly over the years, to double next year.

"We hope to make the school competitive again," the source said.

NU opened in Aug. 1, 1900 as Colegio Filipino and was later renamed Colegio Mercantil with the introduction of business and accounting courses. It became the National Academy in 1916 and was renamed National University in 1921. The university offers courses like architecture, commerce, dentistry, education, engineering, computer science, entrepreneurship, liberal arts, nursing, and pharmacy.

NU also has a graduate school and offers elementary and high school education.

Mr. Sy said the acquisition of NU is part of the family’s "socio-civic role" in society, noting that the family wants to sponsor yearly at least a hundred scholars who can study in the school of their choice.

The mall taipan through SM Foundation has sent hundreds of students to college. To date, 630 scholars have graduated from the SM College Scholarship Program, which maintains 400 scholars at any given time.

oo nga eh ako man din ay nanglumo ng malaman ko na gigibahin ang mga bahay na iyon kasi spanish houses pa po iyon.pero ganon po talaga *** kabilang part po ng old NU gym is pag aari talaga ang NU un ang nag sisilbing dorm ng mga atleta,*** sa kanto po eh private own po iyon.

di ko pa alam kung ano po talagang gagawin doon may mga nababalita na gigibahin nadin ang lumang gym .para ang buoong block na iyon ay ililipat ang HS building or Health Science building para sa mga pharma,nursing and dent student.para madikit sa old dent building

[mhek]

'wag naman sana gibain yung isang building, art-deco yun eh.

gym na lang sana gibain. hehe
