MANILA, Philippines—The University of the Philippines on Tuesday signed an agreement with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority donating a 4,300-square-meter lot for the UP Professional Schools in Global City, Taguig.
UP President Alfredo Pascual and BCDA president Arnel Paciano Casanova signed the memorandum of agreement, which will pave the way for the construction of the new campus within the year.
Casanova also turned over a deed of conveyance in which the BCDA donated the lot to UP to be used for academic purposes.
The UP Professional Schools in the Fort Bonifacio Global City will offer post-graduate courses initially from the College of Law, School of Statistics, College of Engineering, College of Business Administration, and the Open University.

Aside from the new campus, it would be great if the original UP campus facilities would be upgraded to current standards... or simply just fixed up.

Upgrade the Sunken Garden? :D

Good move given that most of the students for professional schools are based in Makati - Ortigas. Ateneo is in Rockwell, DLSU is in Makati CBD.
