San Beda, the University
Last February 6, 2018, the institution known before as San Beda College finally was granted by the Commission on Higher Education the status of being a university.

The Saga of MLQU
Firstly, a disclosure: the Urban Roamer is an alumnus of the Manuel L. Quezon University.

Thus, my interest gets piqued with any news that comes my way about my alma mater, like the one I will be sharing later on in this post. But before we go further, I suppose this is a good opportunity as well to talk about this underrated institution in the heart of Manila.
