Jackie, Imogen, Fahme and I passed through the Lyceum of the Philippines University which was located in Intramuros itself.
The Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) is an institute of higher education located in Intramuros, Manila. It was founded by Dr. Jose P. Laurel, who became the third president of the Philippines and one of the most acclaimed. It is the only university founded by a president of the republic. The university is named after lykeion, the grove in ancient Athens where Aristotle taught his pupils. The institute's educational vision is founded on principles Dr. Jose P. Laurel set down. Two of its most prominent features are its entry point, the "Hall of Heroes" which exhibits busts of revered Philippine historical figures sculpted by the National Artist Guillermo Tolentino; and, the famous "Lyceum Tower" which stands witness to the university's history and continuing progress.
The Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU), guided by its motto Veritas et Fortitudo, believes in developing God-loving persons, imbued with the spirit of service, love for truth, enlightened and assertive nationalism, and a high sense of moral integrity.
