1911The Brothers of the Christian Schools opened the first La Salle School at 652 Calle Nozaleda, Paco, Manila with 125 students. Nine Brothers (five Frenchmen, three Irish, and one American) formed what would be the first community of La Salle in the Philippines. They included Brothers Blimond (director), Louis, Aloysius, Camillus, Augusto, B. Joseph, C. John, William, and Martin.
1921De La Salle College transferred to its present site on Taft Avenue, Manila.
The architectural design of St. La Salle Hall was created by Tomas Mapua. It was the winning entry in a competition sponsored by the school. During this time, many heads of state visited it, not the least of which were then-Governor-General Leonard Wood and Senate President Manuel Luis Quezon.
1924 Dr. Paul Monroe and a commission of American educators named La Salle as one of the best private schools in the Philippine Islands after an eight-month cross-country inspection.
1930Extracurricular clubs and activities flourished during this decade. La Salle’s star shone brightly in the sports arena, with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships in basketball, football, and track events. Back then, La Salle also had a 200-member Glee Club, a combo of jazz musicians, a reputed oratorical team, and a cheering squad named Yell Command.
1945 The War Years brought shell shock and damage to the school, both in terms of ruined buildings and human carnage. Sixteen Brothers and 25 civilians were massacred one tragic February day in 1945.
After World War II, the Brothers took the task of rebuilding the College and introducing new undergraduate programs.
1947La Salle won its first postwar basketball trophy in the NCAA.
1954 Auxiliary Bishop of Manila Hernando Antiporda is the first La Salle alumnus to become a member of the Philippine hierarchy.
1956 Br. Bede Athanasius, the first Filipino to become a Brother of the Christian Schools from the Baguio Novitiate, began teaching at DLSC
1957The College of Liberal Arts and the College of Commerce underwent their first Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU) formal survey..

AboutDLSU
PIONEER COMPUTER SCHOOL SMART CLASSROOM INTERNET-CONNECTED
The University opened its portal to the information highway when it established the Computer Center in 1971, the first in the
local academic sector to do so. In 1980, the Center expanded and became the Planning, Information, and Computer Science Center (PICSC). In 1981, the PICSC monitored the Computer Science Department which offered the first undergraduate degree in Computer Science. Four years later, the Computer Science Department was formally declared as the College of Computer Studies.
DLSU ’s smart classroom is the first ever in the Philippine academe. In 2000, it already had video conferencing capabilities and state-of-the-art equipment for desktop presentations, with audio-visual players, overhead projectors, two-way video camera, and 42 computer units hooked to the Internet.
The first school to be connected to the Internet, DLSU was recognized in 1996 by PC Computing Magazine as among the world’s universities with
the best websites. It was cited together with University of Waterloo (Canada), Harvard University (USA), University of West Indies, University of Tokyo (Japan), University of Limerick (Ireland), University of Cape Town (South Africa), University of Sydney (Australia), University of Hamburg (Germany), University of Zagred (Croatia), and Helsinki University of Technology (Finland).
With the aim of developing a multidisciplinary, collaborative learning environment, DLSU set up in 2003 the groundbreaking Biomedical Engineering program, offered as a specialization under the BS in Manufacturing Engineering and Management course. A young discipline in the local academic scene, Biomedical Engineering aims to develop professionals concerned with the application of appropriate technology for the efficient delivery of healthcare services and for the advancement of methods used for diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation.
To improve the way teachers teach and students learn, DLSU institutionalized in 2004 the Transformative Learning Framework, a pioneering initiative that
promotes student-centered learning. The transformative paradigm seeks to engage students in deeper modes of learning and inquiry, and to enable them to develop their analytic, critical, and creative thinking skills.
The College of Computer Studies (CCS) garnered Level 3 accreditation for its BS Computer Science program in 2005. It was at that time the highest program accreditation status ever received by a higher education institution from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities.
Likewise, the CCS Computer Technology Department became the first Cisco Academy Training Center in the Philippines, which meant that the Department would be tasked to implement quality assurance initiatives in more than 140 regional and local academies.

SOLAR POWERED CAR WISE MESSAGING SYSTEMWORLD CHAMP SOCCER ROBOTS
SINAG, the first Philippine solar car, was designed and built by students and faculty of DLSU ’s College of Engineering. Driven by a team of La Salle students, it raced across the Australian sub-continent to a stellar finish at the 20th World Solar Challenge. In pursuit of solar technology research, DLSU also developed two more solar cars, one of which toured across the country in 2010 and another raced in the World Solar Challenge in 2011.
To improve access to University-related information, La Salle’s Information Technology Center established in 2001 the DLSU Wireless Information Services (DLSU WISe), another first in the local academic scene. This allows community
members to receive announcements, such as final exam schedules, UAAP standings, or class suspensions, via text messaging service.
Engineering faculty and students led the Philippine soccer robot team that captured the gold medal in the Millennium Challenge and the silver medal in the Benchmark Category
of the Fedaeration of International Robot-Soccer Association World Cup 2000 held in Central Queensland University, Australia. It was a record first for a Philippine university.
The University and seven other La Salle schools nationwide in partnership with the Institut Polytechnique La Salle Beauvais, France established the De La Salle Food Institute to provide a comprehensive program on food and health. Established in 2011, the Institute will examine food and health in its entire supply chain—from the production of food and end user consumption to logistical requirements and environmental impact.
Every classroom at DLSU provides Internet access and features LCD projectors, thin client computers, and hi-tech speakers. Under the Technology-Enabled Learning Environment (TELE) Project started in Academic Year 2009-2010, DLSU has created a learning environment that supports transformative learning and global connection.
In an effort to push its standards to the international level, DLSU in 2008 opened
its doors to the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) for an assessment of its Chemical Engineering and Economics programs. The
Chemistry, Literature, and Psychology programs also underwent the assessment in 2010, and the Applied Corporate Management, Physics, and Software Technology programs in 2011.The AUN-QA gave positive feedback and ratings based on the information provided in the University’s self-assessment report, on-site verification of the documents, and interviews with selected stakeholders including faculty, staff, students, alumni members, and employers.
PHYSICAL EMPATHIC COMPUTING
The Center for Empathic Human-Computer Interactions (CEHCI) of the College of Computer Studies had a demonstration of the Philippines’ first physical empathic computing space in November 2009 on campus. The space is equipped with a sensor network to identify its current occupant, recognize his emotions, and respond in an empathic manner via adjustment of ambient parameters such as temperature, lighting, and background music.

The University was one of the first in the country to really push entrepreneurship and come up with a curriculum that encourages innovation, risk-taking, creativity - all that we associate with entrepreneurs. La Salle has contributed to a mind-set that’s very much of this generation, one that’s not afraid to grasp opportunities but at the same time is quick to give back to society.
I apply business principles in public service, having brought the businessman in me. I like to reduce complexity. I have always been loyal and committed to the institution I serve, whether government or public service. I am very grateful to the education that I got in La Salle.
If life means having a good time, money, fame, power, security - then you don’t need principles; all you need are techniques. On the other hand, if happiness counts more than a good time, respect more than fame, right more than power, and peace of soul more than security; if death doesn’t end life but transforms it, then you must be true to yourself and to God...

The values that I have learned as a Lasallian are values which are helping me in my present job as President and CEO of the Development Bank of the Philippines. These are the values of honesty and service, two traits which are lacking in the Philippines at the present time. With these two values we should be able to propel the country into a more advanced economy.
As businessmen, we are judged by our actions. The Lasallian values helped me by molding my business principles, to make a profit without trampling on the hearts of the people I deal with. It also reinforced my belief that yes, the Filipino can!
