We believe the purity of the motives and sincere desire of the Adventist University of the 
Philippines Board of Trustees (AUP BOT) to show appreciation to those who contribute 
generously of their means, large or small, to the College of Medicine project. 


However, if the AUP Board of Trustees wish to rename the College of Medicine building, 
why make it appear as if it were largely if not entirely an AUP alumni funded project though 
it is absolutely not?

1.   Though some may agree with naming an entire building as Alumni Hall, in the eyes 
of more people this action of the board may not conform to sound ethical practice. 
In our opinion, it violates the rights of many non-AUP alumni in particular, as well as 
numerous friends and supporters of the AUP College of Medicine, whether they are 
AUP alumni or not, who were made to believe, based on clear and specific appeals from 
the Advancement Office of the University and the Office of the President of the University, 
that they were contributing to the realization of our collective College of Medicine dream.

2.  Besides, will permitting the AUP administration to let other programs and departments
 of the university to develop and convert the rooms and offices of a still-to-be-completed 
structure, presumably only temporarily for their respective occupancy, truly advance our 
case with the Technical Committee on Medical Education (TCME)?  Will this action on the 
part of the University administration really enhance the medicine program's chance of 
being approved and recognized by the TCME thus hastening the opening of 
medicine classes?

3.  Evidently, the preceding observation as well as more recent revelations coming 
from the Advancement Office of the University and the Office of the President of the 
University amply demonstrate that more resources than were needed to get the 
medicine program approved have been spent on the construction of a structure of 
which only a small portion will actually be used by the College of Medicine.

Plan B: 1,532 sq.m. for PhP70 mil. [PhP 45,691.00 per sq.m.] consists of several rooms at USD 1,659,573.00 [roughly USD 1,083.27 per sq.m.]


College of Medicine or School of Medical Technology?

AUP College of Medicine - Plan C [B-1+B-2]


Plan C [B-1 + B-2]: 4,733 sq.m. for USD1.9mil [USD401.44 per sq.m.]  Note the extensions in the back. There are now two facades: the original Plan B Front North Western View and the Plan C South Eastern View extensions/additions in the back. Briefly, it was a leap from a two-storey Plan B: 1,532 sq.m. to a three-storey Plan C: 4,733 sq.m. with a covered car park in the basement and additional rooms.

Temporary COM or Future Administration Building?

Per Plan C with a total 4733 sq.m. floor area, the COM will use 438 sq.m. which is about 9.25% of the multipurpose, general use Alumni Hall. Rounding our figure to 10% of the eighty (80) million pesos earmarked by the administration for the entire structure, the COM portion will cost approximately eight hundred thousand (800k) pesos. By another estimate, ten percent of US$1.9 mil is about US$190k.
