goodbye mapua, welcome malayan university?

[rhops]

This will be sad day indeed (I myself a mapuan ). Iba na rin kasi ang recall ng "Mapua" eh. paano yan "Viva Malayan" na

[flakez]

This is sick! Maybe the Yuchengcos don't know the true essence of being a true blooded Mapuan. True, Mapua is known for Engineering and Architecture but that doesn't mean that the other courses offered by MIT is not greater in excellence or of low quality. They could very well take the name "Mapua University" and make it synonymous with other famous colleges & universities that offer such course(Health Sciences, Business and Management, and ITs etc.

"Mapua" name is a tradition the signifies the excellence in Arts & Engineering. It has a long history way back in the days of Tomas Mapua as the FIRST Architect in the Philippines. Mapua Institute of Technology is a by-product of Massachusett Institute of Technology's teaching principles as espoused by Don Tomas himself.

The Yuchengco Group could have interjected the other courses and make them synoymous with Mapua's excellence in teaching its primary field.

The dawn has finally arrived for those who aspire to become Mapuan rather than a Malayan.

tama pre, nakakainit ta;aga ng ulo. kahit na IT lang ako. hehehe. iba pa rin ang mapua. badtrip talaga. :fire: :arghhh:

[niwde11]

mike(fellow alumni), bad trip talaga yan. wala ba reaction ang NAMA. OT. para di sa nakakaalam, MIT use to offer non-engineering deg(sory at di na namin inabot yun).

[Karding]

it is because MAPUA is "just" known for its engineering courses.

now that they want to be a multi-disciplinary university, they also have to give focus on their other disciplines and having a new name might change the perception that MAPUA is only good in engineering.

and as said in the report, the MAPUA name will still be retained but for the engineering college only.

Kahit na baguhin yang name na yan, ang perception nga mga tao eh magaling ang mga taga Mapua as engineers. Kung mahusay din ang Mapua students sa ibang degree, only the students itself can prove themselves as worthy graduate of a multi-disciplinary university. They dont have to change the name para lang makilala sila. Saka kahit nga ang ibang University kahit multi-disciplinary, mas kilala pa din sila sa respective field nila.

Mga dudes, I don't presume to know the motives behind it. But, isn't Malayan the name of their (Yuchengco's) insurance company?

yes. it's their non-life arm. meron ding building yan sa may ortigas... malayan plaza ang name.

[flakez]

yup, insurance company ata nila un. bat kaya un an pa. saka bat talaga kelangan pa.

agree ako kay karding, hindi na kelangan pa palitan para lang makilala. saka kilala na talaga mapua. saka ang lalabas sa diploma malayan, hindi mapua. so pano na ung mga engineering grads. wawa naman sila.

*niwde11, ewan ko lang kung may action na nama. pero mga prof daw walang magawa e. sabi kasi daw nasa admin sila. tsk tsk. mapuan na mapuan nga sila. badtrip talaga.

fellow mapuan grads. o kahit hindi. hehe.

ewan ko kung may matutulong pa yan. pero sandali lang naman yan e. tulong tulong na lang tayo. ngayon ko lang nakita na ganito ang reaction ng mga mapuans.

[BlueGirl]

malayan? insurance ng honda un diba?..hehehe...ex-bf ko taga mapua malamang bad trip din un...ako naman nagtataka sa mapua bakit ginawang quarter-sem??? anyway, sana hindi nalang nila pinalitan....

[woulfe27]

Kick-out pala ako ng Malayan University (MU).

[CLAVEL3699]

Hirap nyan kung matagal na pinalitan tapos tatanungin ka sa ka graduate sabihin mo mapua saan school yun eh wala na kasi napalitan dami explanation.

Sana nga di na pinalitan. High praises pa naman pag graduate ka nang mapua.
