In this book, the grand panorama that is the UP’s history is so similar to the stitched videos that emerged during the 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 to create 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
Antonio G. Sison – “The tasks attendant upon every citizen of a world passing through the painful stages of a historical transition leave no room for idle drifting. Work should be the keynote of our people, now and always. As you put your shoulders to the wheel of our collective national effort, let the idealism which the University has instilled in you give you a clearer perspective of things.”
Bienvenido M. Gonzalez – “An educator has to be imbued with the spirit of a crusader and should be willing to suffer for his convictions. . . . In any case, it is a risk one takes upon oneself. I cannot do otherwise than follow my best judgment. I only hope that the future will prove me right.”
Vidal A. Tan – “We can meet our problems more efficiently and face our troubles more serenely if we are fortified by a certain philosophy of life and a certain spirituality based on deep-seated customs, virtues, and traditions. In this way the basic foundation of our life as a nation may become stronger and more adapted to changing conditions.”
Vicente G. Sinco – “There is but one cause which can effectively write finis to UP’s existence. That is when it can no longer advance the frontiers of human knowledge; when it ceases to be an instrument of intellectual freedom; when students and professors in their classrooms and laboratories grovel in abject obedience to authority; when it submits its judgment to outside directives.”
Carlos P. Romulo – “Excellence must challenge not merely our capacity for academic work and scholarship but also must pervade the quality of our response to socio-political events as well as to our participation in the larger and more complex life of culture.”
Salvador P. Lopez – “The University shall be an institution more hospitable to the positive idealism of our youth and more relevant to the true priorities of our national life, an instrument more responsive to the irrepressible clamor of our people for the rapid transformation of our society, so that all may enjoy the blessings of a better life in larger freedom.”

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.
What is your return policy?

- Sale items and gift cards are final sale.
- We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur.
- If you wish to cancel your online order for any reason, you will receive store credit, not a refund.

Can you help me find books not offered in your shop?
We offer a free book search service. Give us the details of the book (title, author, publisher, year) and we will look for it for you. If we find it, we will give you a quote so you can decide whether to move forward or not. There is no obligation to make the purchase.
