At 23, Ryan Lopez had much to look forward to. He had just been hired by a multinational bank after completing his degree in legal management when he started suffering from bouts of severe headaches, dizziness, vomiting, slurring speech and double vision.
In September, test results showed a hemorrhage in the brain, specifically the cerebellum which is close to the part which controls movement, speech and other vital functions. He underwent surgery to have the blood clots removed although subsequent tests showed the real cause—an abnormal tangle of vessels in the cerebellum.
This time, doctors have advised Ryan to undergo an angiogram to help prevent the formation of blood clots as well as to determine which treatment option would be best—an embolization, radiotherapy or another surgery.
However, his brain operation last year and the series of physical therapy sessions which followed have left Ryan and his family financially strapped.
“I just started my adult life. I’m raring to help my widowed mother and younger brother who just entered college,” he said in his letter to the Inquirer.
Ryan added that he used to be physically fit, having been a member of the University of Santo Tomas fencing team which won back-to-back championships at UAAP matches with him as one of the lead players.
“My prayer warriors and I pray hard that there are earthly angels out there who can help save my brain and life,” he said.
Ryan can be reached at 0917-6602387 or at ryangelopez@yahoo.com. Donations can be deposited into the BDO account of his brother, John Christopher Lopez (account number 1700131697).

Camus misses UST support, contemplates pro draft
By Randolph B. Leongson
Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines – For Chris Camus, the feeling is mutual. After exhausting all of his playing years in the UAAP, the Fil-am from Southern California notes one thing that he would miss from the collegiate ranks.

“There’s no crowd like the UAAP,” says Camus.

The forward with a 6-foot-4 frame shares that it is indeed a sad thing for him, or anybody for that matter, to leave the Tigers this season. “It is a different feeling when the support comes from your school. There’s nothing like the support from the UST community,” he says.

Camus, a Fil-am who studied in Buena Park High School in California, had to sit out his first two years in UST for residency, per the player eligibility rules of the league. He then showcased his hustle and energy in front of the UST crowd for four fruitful seasons, two of which the Growling Tigers entered the Final Four.

But despite his non-entry in the UAAP this season, Camus, who has one year left as a marketing major in UST’s College of Commerce and Business Administration, says that he is enjoying his time. “I am enjoying basketball. I play here [in Blackwater] in the D-League. There’s no rush, no pressure,” he said.

“For now, I have no plans of declaring for the [2012 PBA] draft. I’m looking on how I will fare here in the D-League. If I can make a good performance out of my stint here, maybe I will for the next drafts, but that’s all in the future.”

UST opens exhibit of never-before-seen photos

MANILA, Philippines -- An exhibit of never-before-seen pictures of the 400-year-old University of Santo Tomas (UST) taken by student-photographer Paul Quiambao opens at the Manila university on Friday.

The exhibit, entitled “400 Shots to Immortality,” is part of UST’s activities for its neo-centennial celebration, which succeeds the school’s year-long quadricentennial festivities held last year.

Visitors of the exhibit can also buy limited copies of some of the featured photographs. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the victims of tropical storm Sendong as well as to UST-supported Ayta communities in Tarlac.

The exhibit will run until February 10 at the UST Museum of Arts and Sciences Gallery and the lobby of the UST Main Building, which was declared a National Landmark by the National Museum.

Aside from the photo exhibit, UST’s Neo-Centennial celebrations include the blessing of the grounds of the new hospital building on January 23. The University Fair opens on January 24, which is also the start of the Feria de la Tapa at the Quadricentennial Square, and the launch the "400 Books" at the Benavides Library.

The celebrations will be capped by "40,000 Voices" at the Open Field on January 27 and a grand variety show at the UST Grandstand.

Vatican appoints Dagohoy as Rector of UST

May 24, 12:30 p.m. - ROME has formally approved the appointment of Fr. Herminio Dagohoy, O.P. as Rector of the Asia’s only Pontifical university.

Archbishop Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski, prefect of the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education (for Seminaries and Educational Institutions), signed the decree of Dagohoy’s appointment last May 14, said Fr. Gerard Francisco Timoner III, O.P., prior provincial of the Dominican Province of the Philippines and vice chancellor of the University.

Dagohoy—the internal auditor and director of finance and administration of UST Hospital—won successive ballots conducted among UST Dominicans, the Academic Senate, and the University’s Board of Trustees early last month.

The veteran administrator was the top choice, followed by Faculty of Sacred Theology Dean Fr. Rodel Aligan, O.P. and Faculty of Philosophy Dean and former UST rector Fr. Norberto Castillo, O.P. The names of all three candidates were sent to Rome last April 9 for the usual vetting process.

Dagohoy, who will serve as the 96th rector of UST, will be formally installed on June 4 during the Misa de Apertura or the Mass of the Holy Spirit, which traditionally opens the academic year.

The new Rector had served as prior of the Priory of St. Thomas Aquinas in UST and prior of Santo Domingo convent which oversees the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of La Naval. He was also the chief finance officer of UST Hospital and rector of Angelicum College in Quezon City.

Dagohoy was ordained to the priesthood in 1994. Rafael L. Antonio

UST students are 'Grand Champions' on Eat Bulaga's "Pinoy Henyo" InterCollegiate Edition

Among the 8 grand finalists, it's UST's Jeff Acala, a Comm. Arts student, and Ninna Bonsol, a student of Legal Management, who got the highest correct words: 7 out of 10 "henyo" words within the given time period of 3 minutes.

Jeff and Nina's 7 correct words were: "Butong Pakwan", "Sausage", "Libya", "Laing", "Austria", "Marinduque" and "Peanut". They're the only ones who correctly guessed "Peanut" and the fastest to get 1 correct word, at only 20 seconds when they got "Butong Pakwan" which the other finalists found too difficult.

The other 3 words that the students from UST failed to guess were: "Aurora Boulevard", "Bali" and "Puto Bumbong".

No one was able to guess "Aurora Boulevard". The students from the National College of Business and Arts (NCBA), who finished in 2nd place with 5 out of 10, were the only contestants who got the word "Puto Bumbong", while Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) was the sole team who guessed "Bali", their only correct word out of 10.

It was just funny that the finalist from the University of the East (UE) thought that Bali, a famous Indonesian province and island, is located in the Philippines, somewhere in the Visayas. The Thomasian student also got confused over Kuala Lumpur as a place in Indonesia (and not in Malaysia) while they were guessing "Bali".

As grand winners, Jeff and Ninna won P400,000 cash, two MacBook Pro laptops and a Pinoy Henyo trophy.

Here's the complete results of "Pinoy Henyo: InterCollegiate Edition" Grand Finals...
