Title:
University of the Philippines, War Damaged Buildings, Manila, 1945
Date Created:
1945
Description:
When the din of battle died down, the University found its buildings severely damaged. Ruined edifices and twisted steel, halls once imposing, now shell-pocked or reduced to rubbish, were horrible proofs of the University’s ordeals during the war. The records, libraries, offices, laboratories, and the valuable scientific equipment in these, were entirely lost. A conservative estimate based on original values of the material losses sustained by the University approaches the P10,000,000 mark. In view of the foregoing, when the time came for the University to reopen, the first problem that presented itself was the location (UP President Bienvenido Gonzales’ report, quoted in Lazaro, 1985, p. 272).
