SCHOOL IN INTRAMUROS
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila
The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) is a pioneer, a leader, and a model institution of higher learning in the Philippines.
The Philippines' Commission on Higher Education has cited PLM as a model for public institutions across the country. Studies show that PLM is among the top five schools nationwide in terms of board exam passing rate where it is one among three public universities in the top ten category. As the University Charter has provided for, the city government of Manila underwrites the cost of PLM's undergraduate education to maintain the close and direct aperture to high quality education by the city's intellectually-gifted but financially-disadvantaged youth. PLM is the first institution of higher learning in the Philippines to have its official name in Filipino -- Pamantasan -- a name more contextually significant than its English equivalent in that it connotes wisdom, thereby giving immediate notice that the main goal of a true university is the creation of wisdom, which means nothing short of total understanding as well as the production not principally of mere professionals but wise men or "pantas." PLM is also the first university funded solely by a municipal government in the country, thus, making it the first university in the country that is involved in the variegated and multifarious activities of a local community, which is the City of Manila, hence, the first multiversity. It is the first community university ("communiversity") as well as the first socially-conscious university in the country. |
Colegio de San Juan de Letran
Colegio de San Juan de Letran emerged from the fusion of two similar institutions both located in Intramuros.
The first was founded in 1620 by Don Juan Geronimo Guerrero, a retired Spanish Officer, who transformed his hermitage home into an orphanage called the Colegio de Niños Huerfanos de San Juan de Letran. Its purpose was to educate and mold orphans into good Christian citizens. The founers of these two institutions with identical origin and purpose did not only share a common concern for the children of Intramuros but they were also linked by strong bonds of friendship. It was not surprising therefore that their institutions were merged into one even in their lifetime in 1630 and became known simply as the Colegio de San Juan de Letran. The name San Juan de Letran was inspired from the major basilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome, mother of all Christian churches. Early in the history of the College, its chapel was granted many of the privileges enjoyed by the major Basilica. Saint John the Baptist for whom the Basilica is named, is also the patron saint of the College. |
