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.

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.

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.#
