Scenes from earlier's episcopal coronation of the Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of the University of Santo Tomas at the Santísimo Rosario Parish.

The Fiesta Mass and the crowning rite was led by Archbishop of Manila H.E. Jose Cardinal Advincula, O.P., D.D.

The newly crowned image, carved sometime between early to mid-1800s, is a vestige of UST's longstanding history from its campus in Intramuros.

Technological University of the Philippines or TUP's institutional predecessor, the Philippine School of Arts and Trades, has occupied its San Marcelino campus since 1916. That makes it a twentieth-century educational heritage place.

Proper stewardship of twentieth-century heritage including urban areas and cultural landscapes calls for heritage impact assessment. An expressway like SALEX changes a historic place's setting, scale, views and daily experience.

We call for a full heritage impact assessment and open consultation with the TUP community before construction proceeds. In fact, we call for open consultation with all communities affected by SALEX.

(Note: This AI-generated image, bleak as it is, is narrower than the six lanes SALEX is supposed to be. To obtain the six lanes, SALEX will presumably either shave off building facades or will need to be taller than the building facades.)
