" The Lady and the Skull "

while this isn't my alma mater,
It is an institution that is considered to be one of the well known
universities here in the Phils.
and while I wish I have an inkling as regards to what this statue symbolizes,
the skull below the figure pretty much ( I think ) means that it has something to do with human body and medicine.

This is the UP College of Medicine established since 1905.

One of the halls is dedicated to an obstetrician doctor named Dr. Fernando Calderon.

Visit the school's main website if you wish to know more about it.

" San Juan De Letran "

Tucked inside the walls of Intramuros as a historical landmark and also
one of the oldest universities here in Manila.



San Juan de Letran - used to be headed by the Dominican friars.



I'm not sure if this is the front or the back part of the school, as I was zooming in pretty close.
But the whole look of it suddenly transports you out of Manila and that's what I love about it. ^0^

Over the years, this institution has undergone major architectural changes, but still maintained its 5 hectare campus and its well (almost) famous slogan.

Universidad de Manila~ is a public school located at the heart of the mehan garden adjacent to the Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila City Library and LRT station. Not to be mistaken as University of Manila though...that's another school...

I recently discovered that its original name was City College of Manila (CCM), but when Lito Atienza took office as Mayor during 2002. He changed it to Universidad de Manila.
In 2007, when Lim was re-elected as Mayor, he reverted it to its original name; however, a few months into office, he renamed it again to Gat Andrés Bonifacio University... yeah... its history can be a little confusing...

It was lunchtime when i took this shot so I was lucky to catch a few students leaving the campus.
