Once, at a meeting with John Gokongwei Jr. and his younger brother James Go, they asked from where he graduated. Yu replied, “UE.” Gokongwei smiled and remarked, “Ah, the school owned by Lucio Tan?” Yu clarified, “No, not University of the East. I graduated from the University of Experience.” Actually, Yu graduated from the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and was once a working student at the firm of famous architect William Coscoluella.
When asked by Gokongwei how he could possibly design so many projects for so many tycoons almost simultaneously, Yu revealed one secret to his success: “I invest in human talent. I hire the country’s best architects and the best brains to work for our firm, so I have trained and replicated myself many times over in our firm.
