Nitong nakaraang Hulyo 9, 2026, nagsagawa ang UPM CAS Manila Studies Program ng isang lakbay-aral kasama si Prop. Jeric Albela at mga mag-aaral ng PI 100 (Life and Works of Jose Rizal). Layon ng lakbay-aral na ipakilala ang kasaysayan ng UP Manila at bigyang pansin ang mga eskultura at bahagi ng kampus na nagbibigaypugay at pag-alala sa buhay at kabayanihan ni Dr. Jose Rizal.

Binigyang pokus sa naging lakbay-aral ang mga bahagi ng UP Manila na may koneksiyon sa alaala ni Dr. Jose Rizal at sa kabayanihang Pilipino. Kabilang dito ang Rizal Hall ng CAS, Sentro Oftalmologico Jose Rizal, Philippine General Hospital, Quisumbing Hall, at Bobby Dela Paz Hall. Itinalakay din ang mahahalagang likhang sining sa UP Manila tulad ng "The Progress of Medicine in the Philippines", "Celebration of Life", "Triumph of Science Over Death", at ang UP Oblation.

Bilang institusyong binibigyang halaga ang husay at dangal, isa ang UP sa mga haliging patuloy na nagbibigay buhay sa alaala, aspirasyon, at pangarap ni Jose Rizal para sa Pilipinas at mga Pilipino. Nawa’y naging inspirasyon ang lakbay-aral na ito sa mga mag-aaral upang ipagpapatuloy ng husay at kabayanihan ni Jose Rizal sa kasalukuyang panahon. ✨

Hanggang sa susunod na lakbay-aral sa UP Manila!

As part of the activities for the 118th Foundation Celebration of the University of the Philippines, the UPM CAS Manila Studies Program conducted a historical walking tour with the UP Community. The tour highlighted important institutions in UP's history while tracing the changes and growth of the university throughout the years.

The tour started with a discussion of the Government Medical Center in Manila, comprising the Philippine Medical School established in 1905 (now the UP Manila College of Medicine), the Bureau of Science established in 1901 (currently the UP Manila National Institutes of Health), and the Philippine General Hospital established in 1907. Furthermore, the tour also stopped at Rizal Hall to discuss the expansion of the campus to Padre Faura and the growth of the university, as well as the impact of WWII and the transfer of UP to Diliman in Quezon City. The tour concluded with a visit to the UP Manila Museum of a History of Ideas and a discussion of the "Mapping Honor and Excellence: UP's First Campus" exhibit on display.

Thank you very much to our MSP volunteers that served as assistant guides for the tour, Ms. Fatimah Talingdan and Ms. Sophia Linguis! ❤️

We would also like to thank all those who actively participated in and joined the historical walking tour.

Happy 118th Foundation Anniversary, University of the Philippines! ✨🎉
