its historical structures have been declared as the National Cultural Treasures of the Philippines. This is the first time that an educational institution joins the roster of National Cultural Treasures, with the majority of such structures being churches, and the rest being terrestrial landmarks, intangible cultural property, and movable objects. Likewise, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the University of Santo Tomas campus as a National Historical Landmark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the University of Santo Tomas holds the distinction of being Asia\u2019s oldest existing university, its age is coupled with its preeminence in Philippine education.\u00a0 UST\u00a0 is among the top universities in the country and also holds the distinction of being the first and only university in the Philippines that was given a rating of Five Stars by the Quacquarelli Symonds.\u00a0 Not only does it boast of several firsts in the different realms of education. It also has administrators and faculty members who are holding leadership positions in the Philippines\u2019 policy-making bodies (e.g. Commission on Higher Education) and professional organizations, helping influence policies for the betterment of the society in general.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The timeliness and timelessness of the University of Santo Tomas extend beyond the four walls of the campus.
