Far Eastern University

The Far Eastern University (FEU) is one of the leading universities in the Philippines. It was founded in 1928 by Dr. Nicanor I. Reyes as a business college. The university has since expanded its programs to cater to other fields.

Green and Gold are the official university colors of FEU. Green represents the founder’s aspirations for “fair hope for the motherland.” Meanwhile, Gold represents the university’s golden opportunity to serve the youth.

National University

National University is a private and co-educational institution that provides an excellent learning experience for its students. The university is also K-12 ready with its Nazareth School AKA its basic education department.

The school color comes from the colors of the Philippine flag, Navy and Gold. Their logo is the only non-circular logo in the UAAP, boasting the shape of a shield.

University of Santo Tomas

The University of Santo Tomas is one of the oldest existing universities and holds the oldest extant university charter in the Philippines and in Asia. It was founded on April 28, 1611, by the third Archbishop of Manila, Miguel de Benavides, together with Frs. Domingo de Nieva and Bernardo de Santa Catalina.

The gold and white colors of the flag of Vatican City were adopted by the University of Santo Tomas for their school colors because of its Pontifical status. They were known as the Glowing Goldie’s until a name change in 1992. UST Rector Fr. Rolando V. de la Rosa, who was appointed in 1991 recalled in a speech to the school's administrators and faculty members during his 2007 Rector's Report on how UST's present Growling Tigers moniker came to be.
