Lumagda noong Hulyo 1 sa isang Memorandum ng Unawaan (MOU) ang University of Asia & the Pacific (UA&P) at ang Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas (UST) para sa opisyal na pagsisikap at pagtutulungan sa pagsusulong ng pagsasalin at intelektuwalisasyon ng wikang Filipino.

Pinangasiwaan ng Kagawaran ng Filipino at College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) ng UA&P ang makasaysayang araw na ito ng dalawang institusyon sa ALB Dining Halls. 

Ang kasunduan ay nilagdaan nina Dr. Winston Conrad B. Padojinog, Pangulo ng UA&P,at Dr. Pilar I. Romero, Dekana ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon bilang kinatawan ng Rector ng UST na si Very Rev. Fr. Francis Ang, O.P. Lumagda rin bilang saksi si Dr. Maria Asuncion D. Magsino, Dekana ng CAS.

Mga dumalo mula UST at UA&P sa pangunguna nina (nakaupo, mula kaliwa): Dr. Wennie Fajilan, Pinuno ng UST-SSAS; Dr. Pilar I. Romero, Dekana ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon ng UST; Dr. Winston Conrad B. Padojinog, Pangulo ng UA&P; Dr. Maria Asuncion D. Magsino, Dekana ng CAS ng UA&P; at Dr. Moreal N. Camba, Tagapangulo ng Kagawaran ng Filipino ng UA&P.

Ibinahagi ni Dr. Moreal N. Camba, Tagapangulo ng Kagawaran ng Filipino ng UA&P, sa kanyang mensahe ang paglilimbag ng isinaling klasikong Griyegong teksto nina Horace, Longinus, at Plotinus. Ito ay isa sa mga bunga ng kolaborasyon ng UA&P Kagawaran ng Filipino at UST-Sentro sa Salin at Araling Salin (UST-SSAS).

Binanggit ni Dr. Wennie Fajilan, Pinuno ng UST-SSAS, na binabalak ng kanilang sentro ang isang palihan sa pagsasalin katuwang ang UA&P.

Dumalo sa programa sina Fr. Carlos Vicente G. Estrada, University Chaplain, at Dr. Marya Svetlana T. Camacho, Vice President for Faculty Affairs ng UA&P. Dumalo rin ang mga program director at tagapangulo ng mga departamento ng CAS na sina Dr. Joachim Emilio B. Antonio, program director ng Humanities Program; Dr. Dean Edward A. Mejos, tagapangulo ng Department of Philosophy at Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs; at Ms. Elle Caparas, deputy program director ng Junior College Program.

Ang MOU na ito ay nakasandig sa motto ng dalawang unibersidad: “Unitas”(pagkakaisa) ng UA&P at “Veritas in Caritate” (Katotohanan sa Pag-ibig) ng UST. Ang katotohanan sa pag-ibig ay bumubuo ng pagkakaisa. At ang pagkakaisa ay higit na makakamtan kung ang katotohanan ay isinasabuhay sa pag-ibig na umuugnay sa esensya ng pagsasalin.#
