UST is the oldest chartered University in the Philippines founded in 1611. During WWII the Japanese converted the campus into an interment camp for enemy aliens, mostly Americans, living in the Philippines.

But it is not the story of the infamous Santo Tomas Internment Camp (STIC) where some 3000 American and British civilians endured three years of forced confinement during the Japanese occupation.

This is the story of the University continuing its mission to educate the Filipinos as the brutality of war and occupation spread throughout the country. This is the story of the Dominicans in UST as they adjusted to wartime policies. It is also a narrative of the students and the seminarians who tried and succeeded to better themselves through education in a time of hardships and dread.

A Philippine import.
