“During the launching, Mabunay said the book details the stories of UPV through the eyes of the people who walked the halls of its campuses.

She added that the book also detailed the transfer of the UPV from Iloilo City to its present main campus of Miagao in 1980.

Jardeleza called the contents of the book “serious and heartfelt”, citing the anecdotes and photos contributed by the UPV itself and its students, current and former faculty, and alumni.
