LET THE year of the Tiger be for the Tigers.
A UST alumnus is pushing for the official declaration of 2010 as “Year of the Thomasians” by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo herself, saying it would be a perfect gift to UST on the eve of its Quadricentennial.
College of Architecture and Fine Arts alumnus Rhoel Mendoza, through a letter to the President last July, cited the University’s rich history and illustrious alumni as reasons why 2010 should “belong” to Thomasians.
“I believe this would be a very good way of beginning the second decade of the 21st century and the perfect prelude to the global celebration of UST’s Quadricentennial in 2011,” Mendoza said in his July 2009 letter published on the Philippine Daily Inquirer last February 16.
Mendoza, a recipient of the Philippine Overseas and Employment Agency Bagong Bayani Award in 1990, cited former president Joseph Estrada’s declaration of the year 2000 the “year of the overseas Filipino workers” after a year-long campaign he had initiated.
His new proposal had little progress, however, noting that only a recommendation by the President’s correspondence office to the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office was made last August 6.
The liaison office serves as the bridge between the executive and the legislative branches of government, which means Malacañang has left the decision to Congress.
“It is not yet too late to push for the declaration,” the letter read.
“President Arroyo, let this be one of your last significant actions before stepping down from the presidency.”
Because of the President’s apparent snub, Mendoza created an online journal titled “UST@400,” the unofficial blog site of the Quadricentennial celebrations, in the free blog site blogspot.com to push for his advocacy.
“Since Malacañang seems to be not taking action, let us declare it ourselves instead,” Mendoza said in an interview with the Varsitarian. Adrienne Jesse A. MaleficioVarsitarian

February 2010 Physicians Licensure Examination…6 CHARLENE ROSE KHE HAW 84.17% 32 of 34 Thomasian examinees passed for 94% passing rate… Click for the list of passers… PRCMedicine second in board
UST WAS named the second top performing school in the Physician licensure exams after gaining a 94?percent passing rate last January, unchanged from the same period last year.
Thomasian Charlene Khe Haw emerged sixth among a total of 621 successful examinees, posting an 84.71?percent score in the board exams. Thirty-two of the 34 Thomasian examinees passed.
Marie Jo Cabanting of the Far Eastern University - Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation topped this year’s board with a score of 85.42 percent.
UST ranked second to St. Luke’s College of Medicine, Perpetual Help College of Manila, Cebu Doctors University, and Cagayan Colleges Tuguegarao, which all tied at first place with 100 percent passing rates each.
Medicine Dean Ma. Graciela Gonzaga noted that the January exam was the “off-season” for Thomasian examinees.
“Mostly, those who took the [January] test were not regular students, some were even repeaters. Some also took it that time for health or family reasons,” Gonzaga said.
The University got a 94-percent passing rate in the February 2008 medicine board exams. Thomasians Kenneth Liu Dy and Clarito Demaala III made it to the top 10, placing third and ninth, respectively. Adrienne Jesse A. MaleficioVarsitarian

UNIVERSITY buildings are strong enough to withstand the kind of earthquake that hit Haiti last January, but may have problem dealing with a Chile-like shock as far as “experience” is concerned.
Engineer Lawrence Pangan of the Facilities Management Office (FMO) said the buildings can handle intensity seven to intensity eight quakes, while the Main Building, the country’s first “earthquake-proof” structure, can bear up to intensity nine.
“With the innovation in engineering available, we can guarantee that new buildings like the Tan Yan Kee Student Center, Miguel de Benavides Central Library, Beato Angelico building, Thomas Aquinas Research Complex (TARC) and [the soon-to-rise] Sports Complex can last longer and endure future calamities,” Pangan said.
The newer buildings were built with the damage caused by the 1990 earthquake that hit Luzon at magnitude 7.7 as reference. It was the strongest earthquake to hit Manila.
“Adjustments in a structure’s groundwork and construction are based on this magnitude,” Pangan said.
This is the reason why intensity eight quakes are manageable, but UST may have problems dealing with the kind of tremor that hit Chile on February 27 at 8.8 magnitude.
“When a Chile-like earthquake hit UST, I am unsure whether our buildings, except the Main Building, can survive,” said College of Architecture Dean John Joseph Fernandez.
He specifically expressed doubt over the strength of new buildings like the Tan Yan Kee Student Center, TARC and the Multi-deck Carpark.
“But in terms of experience, old buildings have already withstood three major earthquakes—in 1968, 1973 and 1990. [However] new buildings are not yet ‘tested’,” Fernandez said.
While structures may withstand initial tremors of a Chile-like quake, aftershocks could be “scary.”
Intensity seven earthquakes bring slight to moderate damage to well-built structures, while intensity eight causes considerable damage in ordinary buildings, parts of which may collapse.
An earthquake’s intensity is different from its magnitude. According to the United States Geological Survey website, magnitude refers to the strength of the energy felt at the “source” of the earthquake, while intensity is the strength of the shaking at a “certain location” caused by an earthquake. The higher the magnitude of an earthquake, the higher the probable intensity it can produce.
Building a building
Pangan said building a new structure in the University like the construction of the UST Sports Complex involves several processes, one of which is soil investigation.
“The type of soil is being observed and studied since Manila’s ground is not stable,” he said.
A construction method called board piling was used for newer UST buildings. The process involves the installation of foundations as stacked piles parallel to the ground, and drilling instead of hammering them to effectively resist earth movement.
“Board piling lessens structure vibration and helps avoid serious damage,” Pangan said. “[We are] assured that buildings, whether new or old, will remain stable.”
Fernandez said structural engineers also consider that tectonic plates usually move left and right. This was taken into account in erecting the Main Building in 1927, whose construction involved the expansion joint, and mat foundation processes. Expansion joints allow seam separation or the independent swaying of structures during earthquakes. Mat foundation extends the base of a structure over a great area, frequently the entire building, where all vertical structural loadings like columns and fixtures are supported by this common foundation.
“This is why the Main Building only had superficial cracks on [its] walls after the [1990] earthquake, which were architectural in nature and not structural,” Pangan explained. “These cracks have already been remedied by injecting a certain amount of epoxy to the walls.”
He revealed that even the Main Building’s cross tower is still structurally stable, saying that rifts only appeared on the wall’s surface, not deep within.
“City building officials have actually issued a certificate, showing the stability and safety of our buildings here in UST,” Pangan said. “Our buildings’ structural components are not critically damaged, despite the appearance of some cracks.”
An ocular inspection of the Beato Angelico Building also revealed only superficial cracks, Fernandez said.
“Walls have been plastered and injected with epoxy, and remain very safe,” Fernandez said. “What is good with this building is that it has non-load bearing walls that support nothing. Meaning, regardless of visibility of cracks, ceilings and floors will not be affected, or [will not] collapse.”
Arts and Letters Dean Michael Anthony Vasco, for his part, assured students that the St. Raymund de Peñafort Building is still safe despite being built over half a century ago.
“Officials from FMO inspect our building periodically. The University will make it a point that structures are safe for Thomasians,” Vasco said.
But everyone must always be ready and know what to do in case an earthquake occurs. In the case of Artlets, Vasco has tasked professors Jose Tolentino Olivar and Dennis Coronacion as the faculty’s “crisis marshals” at the UST crisis management committee to help mobilize people during an earthquake, with the assistance of the Red Cross Youth Council. Similar moves have been taken by Architecture and the College of Fine Arts and Design.
“[Fine Arts] Dean [Cynthia] Loza and I decided to redesign our building’s fire escapes per floor as advised by the city’s fire department,” Fernandez said. “And before the school year ends or early next school year, we are planning to perform an earthquake drill.”
Vasco also said Artlets would coordinate with the administration and concerned agencies to have quake drills.
The crisis management committee has issued guidelines in case an earthquake strikes UST. They are the following:
* Drop to the ground; take cover by getting under a sturdy table or other pieces of furniture. Stay in that place until shaking stops. If there are no tables or desks near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in a corner of a buiding. * Stay away from the glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fixtures or furniture. * Use a doorway for shelter only if it is near you and if you know that it is a strongly supported, load bearing doorway. * Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside the building attempt to move to a different location inside it or try to leave it.

Originally posted by contabilidadNational Museum declares UST structures as national treasures January 20, 2010 11:50 am
MANILA, Jan. 20 –- The National Museum (NM) has declared the structures of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) in Sampaloc, Manila as national treasures due to their historical and cultural heritage for 83 years.
UST Public Alumni Affairs Office (PAAO) director Prof. Giovanna Fontanilla told the Philippines News Agency (PNA) on Wednesday that the NM will formally recognize the key role of the UST in the nation’s historical and cultural heritage on January 25 at 3 p.m.,
Fontanilla said NM will give a declaration of the UST Main Building, the Central Seminary, the Arch of the Centuries and the University’s Open Spaces as National Cultural Treasures.
Historians said that in 1927, the UST campus transferred to España Boulevard in Sampaloc from Intramuros.
The present campus covers a total of 21.5 hectares. Since UST's establishment in 1611, the university academic life was disrupted only twice. Once, from 1898 to 1899, due to the Philippine revolution against Spain; and the second time from 1942 to 1945, when the Japanese Occupation Forces converted the UST main building into a concentration camp during the Second World War.
Section 3 of "The Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act" states that a "National Cultural Treasure is a unique object found locally, possessing outstanding historical, cultural, artistic and/or scientific value which is significant and important to this country and nation."
This prestigious recognition marks the first-ever inclusion of an educational institution among the ranks of National Cultural Treasures, with the majority of structures being churches and the rest being terrestrial landmarks, intangible cultural property and movable objects.
Fontanilla said the declaration, considered a milestone for UST, is the culmination of efforts which began in 2004.
“Also, it coincides with the various activities for UST’s Quadricentennial celebration in 2011,” Fontanilla told the PNA.

At 3:00 p.m. on January 25, 2010, the National Museum will recognize the key role of the University of Santo Tomas in our nation’s historical and cultural heritage through its formal declaration of the UST Main Building, the Central Seminary, the Arch of the Centuries and the University’s Open Spaces as National Cultural Treasures.
Section 3 of “The Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act” states that a “National Cultural Treasure is a unique object found locally, possessing outstanding historical, cultural, artistic and/or scientific value which is significant and important to this country and nation.” This prestigious recognition marks the first ever inclusion of an educational institution among the ranks of National Cultural Treasures, with the majority of structures being churches and the rest being terrestrial landmarks, intangible cultural property and movable objects.

AMBANTATHE NATIONAL Museum has declared the 82-year-old UST Main Building, the Central Seminary, the Arch of the Centuries, and UST’s open spaces as “National Cultural Treasures” ahead of the University’s Quadricentennial in 2011. This is the first time for an educational institution to join the roster of National Cultural Treasures, with the majority of such structures being churches, and the rest being terrestrial landmarks, intangible cultural property, and movable objects. The January 25 declaration followed the unveiling of the nearly century-old painting “The Foundation of the University of Santo Tomas by Archbishop Benavides,” restored through the Museum of Arts and Sciences’ Heritage Conservation Fund. Section 3 of the Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act states that a “National Cultural Treasure is a unique object found locally, possessing outstanding historical, cultural, artistic, and/or scientific value, which is significant and important to this country and nation.”The countdown to UST’s 400th year officially began last December 18, with the unveiling of four “quadricentennial symbols” before a record crowd that bore witness to the University’s “most memorable” Christmas celebration. An estimated 50,000 people who attended the annual Paskuhan saw the launching of the quadricentennial flag, countdown clock, song, and prayer at the “Countdown, Count Me In!” program themed “4 horas, 4 dias, 400 days, 400 taon,” which represented the three cultures— Spanish, American, and Filipino— that defined UST’s history. After a parade of costumes from the Spanish colonial era to the 21st century, the four-hour program started with the recitation of the quadricentennial prayer by Fr. Pompeyo de Mesa, O.P. over a candle lighting ceremony at the UST field. This was followed by the lighting of the 80-foot Christmas tree and University grounds, and the revelation of the quadricentennial flag. The “Q flag,” designed by Fine Arts Regent Fr. Edgardo Alaurin, O.P., and former Varsitarian assistant art director Jonathan Gamalinda, bears the sun and the Dominican cross from the UST logo along with an embroidered “2011” at the center, the statue of UST founder Miguel de Benavides, the Main Building, and doves. The upper horizontal half of the flag is colored yellow to symbolize St. Thomas Aquinas, while the other half is colored blue symbolizing the University’s Marian devotion. The image of Benavides’ statue is found at the left side “to signify [UST’s] passion for education,” while doves soar from his finger tip as a symbol of the Thomasian free spirit. “We included the doves in the sky to give the impression of the vastness of the sky, God’s grace, and the spirit of a flying bird,” Alaurin said. Alaurin and Gamalinda were assisted by Fine Arts professor Romeo Remalante, also a former Varsitarian artist, in designing the flag. The flag’s design was a modified version of a painting created by Dante Lerma, one of the participants at the quadricentennial logo making contest three years ago. The flag was raised simultaneously with a dance number from the Salinggawi Dance Troupe, drum rolls from the Yellow Jackets, and an exhibition from the Main Building. A star-studded program followed with Thomasian beauty queen and UST alumna Miriam Quiambao as host, while actor JC Cuadrado gave away raffle prizes such as net books and gift certificates worth P5,000 each. Thomasian entertainers graced the show– singer Jamie Rivera (College of Commerce), comedienne Beverly Salvejo (Science), former Pinoy Dream Academy “scholar” RJ Jimenez (Engineering), internationally acclaimed singers Isay Alvarez (Arts and Letters) and Robert Seña (Fine Arts), actor Polo Ravales (Education), and dancer Archie Alemania (Artlets). Bands Sandwich and 6CycleMind, both managed by a Thomasian, also performed. The 20-foot tall countdown “beat man” clock designed by Gamalinda signaled the start of the countdown by 12 midnight. It was manufactured by Swatch, the Swiss watch company. “What the people see is not yet the final design of the beat man. But the colors are correct. We are just waiting for the finalization of details including the permanent location of the beat man,” Gamalinda said. He said his design was inspired by the UST seal, which includes the lion and sea lion symbolizing the Royal Seal of the King of Spain, and the Seal of the City of Manila, respectively, the Papal tiara, and a flower for the Virgin Mary. “When people think of UST, it has to be the combination of these four seals without one of these, UST is not UST,” Gamalinda added. The quadricentennial song “Ako’y Isang Tomasino” composed by Gerardo de Leon and arranged by award-winning composer Jimmy Antiporda (both from Engineering) was sang by Thomasian singers Apple Chui and Aicelle Santos with Rhap Salazar and the UST Singers. This was followed by a 10-minute fireworks display at 12 midnight which culminated the program. The “Q song” proclaims the University as “a strong institution standing the test of time,” Rector Fr. Rolando de la Rosa O.P., said in his opening speech. “We are the University of Santo Tomas. We are older than the Filipino nation, older than Harvard, older than any university in Asia and the New World, but younger in vision, in our faith, in our hope, in our love because we are blessed with unending grace,” he said.

Ms. Rubilen Amit, Accounting alumna, was named as one of the PSA Athletes of the Year with Torres of Track and Field and the 3 chicks of taekwondo... She should have been named as the sole recipient of the honor by winning 2 international tournaments, the Women's World 10-Ball Championship and the the World's Mixed Double Classic with Bata Reyes... aside from grabbing 2 SEAG gold medals... yung iba sa SEAG lang nanalo... yung taekwondo chicks nanalo rin sa World Taekwondo competition... pero si Rubilen dalawa ang ipinanalo... saan ka pa...
