What was the first university in the Philippines?
The Great Royal and Pontifical University of St. Ignatius: 1587
(Great because the original name is Universidad Maximo de San Ignacio)
so wow... I never knew... hahaha lalang... Here we are celebrating 150 years of God knows what, and really, by some weird freak history... the first Philippine Jesuit university is 421 years old.
When you think about it... some people say that the Philippines wasn't very gender biased because the first girl's school (Sta. Isabel) was established only 20 years after UST, which most people think was the first Philippine college, but it actually came 44 after... wala lang...
Here's the clincher... when the UMdSI was abolished... a part of it remained. The San Jose College which was part of UMdSI continued under secular priests until it was turned over to the Jesuits in the 1960s... the San Jose Major Seminary as it is now called basically requires it's student's to take Philosophy in Ateneo... so... San Jose College as a College lives on as Ateneo... soo... by some weird truly twisted logic... Ateneo is really 421 years old... HAhahahahHAHHAhHahAhaHhhahAHhaha
