About Me:
The University of Santo Tomas organized the UST ROTC on September 28, 1936 making it one of the first institutions to implement the National Defense Act of the Commonwealth Government.
In more than just a month of organization and training, the Corps marched for the first time before the viewing public during the first Commonwealth anniversary parade on November 15, 1936.
A year after the Corps was established, the Rector Magnificus of the University created the Honorary Corps of Lady Sponsors (1937).
After only a year of existence, the Corps obtained the rating of "Superior" - the highest rating by milirary standards - in the annual tactical inspection. During the first inter-ROTC meet, the Corps rated second fiddle of the more experienced State University (UP) ROTC Unit.
The Corps grew bigger and better from a regiment (4 battalions, around 800 cadets), it grew to a brigade numbering more than 1,500 cadets. During the XXXIII International Eucharistic Congress held in Manila on February 3-7, 1937, the Corps participated and garnerned countless awards and praises.

Advance ROTC Class '06, "SANLAHI"
We are not united by those nasty Constitutions
Unlike other organizations
We are united by sweat, blood and tears
We are not bounded to silly hierarchy
Unlike other fraternities
We are bounded by Respect, Trust and Honor
People don't come and go
We stay and make a mark on this Institution
Unlike those institution that it is there only when it needs you
This is not here!!!
If you are finding a place to stay
If you find comfort and care
If you find security and protection
If you find serenity and peace
A group is where you belong
Dreams are for those who are dreaming
Hope is for those who is hoping
Grace is for those who is wishing
Faith is for those who believe
Are you one of them?
Or are you One of US?
This is not a group of Individuals trying to prove something
This is not boasting for what can it take and what can it do
This is more than a group
This is more than an organization
This is more than a fraternity
This is MY CORPS
Philosophy :
" The UST Golden Corps of Cadets...
first you become a part of it....then
it becomes a part of you.... "
GOD bless & long live our UST GCC!
unbending in honest failure, but
humble and gentle in success; not
to substitute words for action; not to
seek the path of comfort, but to face
the stress and spur of difficulty and
challenge; to learn to stand up in
the storm, but to have compassion
on those who fall; to master yourself
before you seek to master others; to
have a heart that is clean, a goal
that is high; to learn to laugh, yet
never forget how to weep; to reach
into the future, yet never neglect the
past; to be serious, yet never take
yourself too seriously; to be modest
so that you will remember the
simplicity of true greatness; the
open mind of true wisdom, the
meekness of true strength.
Do not weep maden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands
towards the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
Hoarse, booming drums of the
regiment,
Little souls who thirst for fight,
These men were born to drill and die.
The unexplained glory flies above them.
Great is the battle-god, great, and his
kingdom--
A field where a thousand corpses lie.
Do not weep babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the
yellow trenches,
Rage at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make point to them the excellence of
killing
And a field where a thousand corpses
lie.
Mother whose heart hung humble as a
button
on the bright splendid shroud of your
son,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
--Stephen Crane
The more you rub the better it feels
And no amount of water between heaven
and hell can wash away that damn smell.
