MANILA, Philippines — A De La Salle University student was hospitalized after falling one floor from a building at the university’s Manila campus on February 13, 2026, according to a statement from the school.

School administrators were coordinating with the student’s guardian to provide the necessary support, the university added. DLSU did not identify the student or disclose further medical information.
