In this book the grand panorama that is the UP’s history is so very similar to the stitched videos that emerged in COVID-19 lockdown. Digital technologies magically brought everyone together in a video where you could see each one performing, physically distanced yet united in a love of UP and love of country. So many “little” stories coming together for a grand narrative, moving us, bringing us together in remembering to remember.
—Michael Lim Tan, DVM, PhD
Chancellor of the University of the Philippines Diliman, 2014–2020
Murray S. Bartlett – “This university should not be a reproduction of the American University. If it is to blossom into real fruit, it must grow on Philippine soil . . . . It can serve the world best by serving best the Filipino.”
Ignacio B. Villamor – “It is therefore well understood that a university remains the center of education of various branches of human knowledge, and its main purpose is substantially to preserve the life and promote the progress of nations.”
Guy Potter Benton – “The UP will fail utterly unless it stimulates an effective and well distributed social services; unless it raises the standard of living for all the people; unless it promotes general comfort and happiness without making a privileged class who enjoys a monopoly of the so-called ‘good things in life’ . . .”
Rafael V. Palma – “The University must move with the times—to carry out fully its mission in this country and thus aid in solving our national problems. It is our bounden duty to help the State in the solution of its manifold problems especially in a country ‘still in the springside of life, as in the Philippines.’ ”
Jorge C. Bocobo – “Especially at this time when misunderstanding seems to portend danger to the common objectives of the world’s work, the Universities should resolutely assert their ancient duty and privilege to transform the darkness of prejudice and error and passion into the sunlight of Science, which knows no national barrier and owes fealty to the greater cause of humanity.”
Bienvenido M. Gonzalez – “People who are anxious to evade manual labor, indeed, they abound in big numbers. But if we mean young men who can really work with their mind, then I must say there are not very many of them in the Philippines. We have too much mediocrity in our mental efforts and so I have appealed to the Faculty to create a spirit of discontent towards mediocre work.”

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.
You can read our shipping policy here.
What are your shipping options?
For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.
No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.
For non US addresses, we ship via the Express option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
