A fire burned most of the UP Shopping Center in Quezon City on Thursday morning, another iconic landmark at the University of the Philippines Diliman campus destroyed. Officials say the fire started at 7:14 a.m. and declared fire out at 8:53 a.m.

The fire drew mixed reactions from students reminiscing moments they spent in the shopping center, which housed, among others, restaurants (e.g. Rodic's) and small shops offering reasonably priced printing and binding services. Some expressed concern over destroyed research papers and theses.

Fire also struck the Faculty Center in UP Diliman in April 2016.

Here are select images of the fire at the UP shopping center.
