It seems like Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is the place to be.
“In a statement released on Tuesday, July 21, Taguig City Hall said BGC would soon host facilities of the University of the Philippines (UP) and De La Salle University (DLSU), mainly for their graduate courses, along University Parkway Drive,” reports Kristine Felisse Mangunay in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
It may be recalled that UP, which had its groundbreaking ceremony for its BGC site in 2012, had begun construction of an extension school on a 4,300-square-meter lot in the northeast side of the commercial district.
Back in May, UP President Alfredo Pascual said the BGC property for the new campus was donated by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority with the help of Senate President Franklin Drilon, a UP alumnus. Pacual also disclosed that “the nine-story building to be constructed was courtesy of the SM Group of Companies.” According to Taguig City Hall, the said building would primarily be for postgraduate students of the UP colleges of law, business and engineering, as well as for the UP School of Statistics.
Meanwhile, DLSU is putting up a six-story building for its College of Law on a 1,395-sqm property.
