CULION LEPER COLONY


The Culion Leper Colony was a former leprosarium located on Culion, an island in
the Palawan province of the Philippines. It was established by the US government in order to
rid leprosy from the Philippine islands through the only method known at the time: isolating all
existing cases and gradually phasing out the disease from the population. In addition to
segregating the disease from the rest of the population, the island was later established in order to
offer a better opportunity for people afflicted with leprosy to receive adequate care and modern
treatments.

PHILIPPINE GENERAL HOSTPITAL


The Philippine General Hospital on Taft Avenue in Manila, was created in 1907 by the Philippine
Commissions Act No. 1688. Established to cater to poor Filipinos, it was built at a cost of
around P780,000. PGH was opened to the public three years later in September 1910 with 330
beds. It was attached to the Philippine Medical School, forerunner of the University of the
Philippines College of Medicine. Today, the hospital has a bed capacity of 1,500 and around
4,000 employees.
The Philippine General Hospital Administration Building is situated along Taft Avenue in
Manila. It was built by architect William E. Parsons in neo-classic style that follows the Daniel
Burnham plan for Manila. This plan included Manila Hotel, Army and Navy Club and the
Philippine General Hospital. These were executed by his successor, Parsons included who was a
city planner in the Philippines during the early period American colonization in the country. His
works was a clear translation of Neoclassicism into a new hybrid of colonial tropical
architecture.

Philippine Assembly. The UP was the result of the Secretary of Public Instruction, W. Morgan

Assembly. Act 1870 authorized the Governor General to establish the University of the
Philippines in the city of Manila, or at any point he may deem most convenient. The UP was to
give advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, the sciences and arts, and to give
professional and technical training to every qualified student regardless of age, sex, nationality,

SILIMAN UNIVERSITY

Silliman University (also referred to as Silliman or SU) is


a private research university in Dumaguete,Negros Oriental, Philippines.[8] Established in 1901
as Silliman Institute by the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, it is the
first American university in the Philippines and the entire Asian continent. The university is
named after Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist
from Cohoes, New York who gave the initial sum of $10,000 to start the school. Starting as
anelementary school for boys, the school expanded to become a college in 1910, acquiring
university status in 1938. For the first half of the 20th century, Silliman was run and operated by
Americans. After the Second World War Filipinos began to assume more important positions,
culminating in the appointment of Silliman's first Filipino president in 1952
Silliman Hall is the oldest standing American structure in the Philippines. Its architecture is
reminiscent of the Stick style type of architecture that characterize American buildings in the late
19th century. Some of the materials used to build it were salvaged from an old theater in New
York.[24][25] The present structure was built in 1909 as an addition to the original structure built
in 1902, now demolished. The building now serves as the University's Anthropology Museum
