COLEGIO NEWS & UPDATES

By: Rianne Denise R. Gonzales

The road to diamond for Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Manaoag has finally been crossed. It has been 75 years since Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Manaoag, formerly Holy Rosary Academy and Our Lady of Manaoag College, started to change the lives of the children by giving them the best gift of their lifetime, which is education. The Colegio provided the children with the opportunity to be the best versions of themselves and to grow not only as students but also as God's sons and daughters. It became the basic foundation and the central fountain of knowledge for the students, which molded them into what they are now and influenced their future career paths.

After almost three years since the pandemic began, the Catholic Education Association of the Philippines (CEAP) invited all Catholic schools and institutions to attend the 2022 CEAP National Convention with the theme "Pilgrims of Hope Moving Forward in Synodality." It was held at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City from October 25–28, 2022. Schools and institutions across the country have been awarded for their memberships, which range from 25 to 225 years. As Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Manaoag marked its 75th year of providing quality education, the Colegio was recognized by CEAP as one of the Jubilarian Awardees. The plaque of recognition was accepted by Mr. John Ivan S. Cleofe, LPT, MST, VP for Academics/Dean of College; Ms. Divina Esteron-Pestin, LPT, MEd, VP for Administration/Human Resource; and Ms. Leah C. David, LPT, Prefect of Discipline.

Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Manaoag is beyond grateful for this, yet another remarkable achievement of the institution, and for the never-ending support, love, and loyalty to this esteemed institution. The Colegio will undoubtedly continue to provide high-quality education and shape students into individuals who embody the characteristics of a true Letranite.
