students will start using the type-B “summer uniforms” as an everyday school
wear, beginning Feb. 19, or after Ash Wednesday until the end of the
second semester.

“Following the resolution made
by the Council of Regents in June 2014, the Type-B or Summer Uniform will be
officially used as an everyday school wear from Thursday after
Ash Wednesday until the end of the summer period,” read the Feb. 3
memorandum signed by Secretary General Fr. Winston Cabading, O.P.

Ash Wednesday will
fall on Feb. 18 this year and will be followed by Chinese New Year
on Feb. 19, which is a special non-working holiday.

The type-B uniform will serve
as a complementary school uniform—a t-shirt or a light-material top and pants or
walking shorts—which should meet UST’s standards on good grooming.

The use of a secondary uniform
for the scorching months of summer, particularly April and May, was proposed by
the University last year.

Each faculty or college and
their respective student councils were asked to present designs for their
respective type-B uniforms, which were submitted to the Office of the Secretary
General and presented to the Council of Regents for approval.

The end of the summer period
coincides with the completion of the second semester on May. Arianne

  1. Ang pangit ng alternative uniform namin. Hindi man lang nag pakita ng designs para makapamili ng alternative uniform. Tapos ngayon wala na kaming magagawa. Sana nagpa submit man lang ng designs para makapili ang student body. Hindi yung student council lang ang nagdedecide. Nasaan na ang pagrerepresent ng student council sa choice ng student body.

  2. I have had heard this Summer Uniform from almost 2 weeks ago. No picture nor sample was given to us that may show us what will it will look like or what it will be on that uniform. It is already February 12 and that will be implemented by February 19. I don’t know if it will be bought in the faculty or college that we are included or it will be free due to the miscellaneous fee or something else. I hope it will not be that pricey if it will be presented on short notice.
