In the stronghold of the Romualdez-Marcos clan in the Visayas, generations of students of the University of the Philippines Tacloban College struggle to improve the lives of fellow Waray.

In its five decades of existence, the UPVTC produced individuals who succeeded in their fields of profession.

“Learning in UP is not just merely focusing on the books, but we are armed with theories, practical knowledge, and how to be analytical in dealing with issues,” he told Rappler. “A great influence on me personally as a student of UP is, I learned that there is no substitute for giving back to the community of what you have,” Mendros added.

Student activism was widespread during this period, which spanned the last year of then-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s administration and the early part of the succeeding government of then-president Benigno Simeon Aquino III.
