    1. Your son and husband will be considered as Thomasian guest. Tell the guard on duty that they are with you. Remember that it is first come, first served.

    1. For alumni without ID, photocopy of TOR or Diploma, old ID.
      For non-thomasians without thomasian companions, the gates are in dapitan.
