DID UST HATE RIZAL?

Here are some myths about Rizal's student years at the University of Santo Tomas Manila.

1. Was Rizal discriminated against by his professors and the friars?
- No;
- He was given the highly unusual privilege of being allowed to take up his pre-Med with Med proper simultaneously;
- This was allowed only with the full endorsement of the Spanish Rector who was a friar himself and the approval of the Spanish Governor General;
- Rizal was a favored student.

2. Were Filipino students racially discriminated?
- No;
- There were initially 24 students in his first year, but only 7 remained in his fourth year in UST;
- Of the 7 that remained: the top 4 were Filipinos while the bottom 3 who got dismal grades were Spaniards;
- Rizal was 2nd place;
- Cornelio Mapa, a fellow Filipino student, was Top 1.

3. Did Rizal got low grades?
- No;
- No one in their right mind should compare high school grades with grades in Medicine. Will you?;
- Rizal took Segunda Ensenanza at the Ateneo Municipal, which is comparable to HS in today's terms.
-If there is a point of comparison, then that should not be his high school grades from the Ateneo, but with his fellow med classmates.
-Rizal was 2nd in his 4th year at UST with Cornelio Mapa, also a Filipino, placing first.
-He is not on record as having ever complained about his grades in UST, while he did complain about those he received at the Universidad Central Madrid.

Interesting trivia:
Did you know that Rizal's entrance fee during his first year of Medicine at UST was only 8 pesos?

Rest in peace, Ma'am Jacinta Cruz.😞😞😞

The Thomasian family joins the UST Department of Medical Technology in mourning the passing of retired Associate Professor Jacinta B. Cruz, MHPEd, one of the longest-serving faculty members of the Department and a mentor to generations of medical technologists from the UST Faculty of Pharmacy.

Assoc. Prof. Cruz was a respected academic not just in UST but also in professional organizations such as the Philippine Association of Medical Technologists. In 2009, she was recognized by the Professional Regulation Commission as the Outstanding Professional in Medical Technology.

Eternal rest grant unto Assoc. Prof. Cruz, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
