This is my second guest post at Tramping Philippines since I told my unfortunate & literal ups and downs in Mt. Batulao.

This time, im posting about a music video that was shot on land, and not up there, where carrying yourself alone is hard enough, let alone a full-band setup.

Yet carrying a full-band setup to the 5th floor of UST's Beato Angelico building wasn't easy either.

At 400 years old, University of Santo Tomas, or UST is Philippine's oldest school, where I and Mr. Tramping Philippines, Dane Policarpio graduated. 

UST is situated at Manila's Bull's Eye. Aside from its geographical accuracy, I call it Bull's Eye because anywhere that is near my house is a good place to walk to, which is very much not a mountain peak. 

We managed to keep Dane from climbing somewhere far to shoot this music video, and since this video included clips that were intended to show-off UST's signature spots, I find it prudent to share this to Tramping Philippines readers. By far, this is the best of our multi-media hardworks, featuring one of the grandest universities in the Philippines.

Thanks Dane! I'll leave with some more noteables for your readers:

- That building with a huge cross on its tip is not a church. Now you know. I had to study there to know it.

- Philippines' national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal studied in UST. He didn't like it. You know. Old-school issues.

- UST is a university, church, and hospital in one. So living near UST is good for your body, soul, and brain.

- Your dear author is our drummer. Enjoy Maude's music video!
