La Salle - Gym in Manila, Philippines

Although I haven't went around much because I was assigned at LS for DCAT 2026, and watching Yuch from the 3rd floor inner balcony made me mesmerized at the sheer scale of the building and I felt like I was gazing at the Supreme Court even if the real one doesn't look as flashy as Yuch.

I visited the campus during a business trip. The university is expansive, featuring magnificent old European-style buildings and beautiful gardens. The modern library building, with its multiple floors, is equally impressive. It was a wonderful experience to be there.

01/15/26. Animo La Salle🏹 "Animo La Salle" is the battle cry for De La Salle University (DLSU) meaning "La Sallian Spirit to Fight," or "Have Courage," invoking passion, resilience, and commitment to excellence in academics, sports, and life, rooted in the Brothers' call for "Faith and Zeal". It is a rallying phrase used to motivate students and teams to give their best and embody the Lasallian values of hope, service, and making a difference. De La Salle University is my alma mater. I am very proud and at same time thankful to have studied in the number one private university in the Philippines.

Really cool places Clean bathrooms Lots of libraries, chairs and tables. They also have their own cafeterias and a church. Nearby there are a lot of restaurants to eat. They also have condominiums nearby. Everything was well maintained and spotless. And also they have a LOT OF CATS... but don't touch them 😽 La salle is really nice to cats. Thanks for the scholarship !

Student Counseling Services is a disgrace. The counselor kicked me out of the office for being an alumna even though I knew her and I just wanted to talk to her. This happened back in 2017. No wonder the school faced a student mental health crisis during those years, and probably still does. I lived nearby in 2021-2024 and I would say hi to some of the personnel. However, I can't help to notice even the employees seem depressed or deprived. Even the legendary Laureen Velasco has lost her smile. The school needs to invest more on its people and trim down on its PR. Seems like Partnerships is the only bright spot in the head office that has a future. Everything else feels like a money-sucking machine.
