INTRODUCTION
A lot of prestige
universities are now scattered in the Philippines offering different courses
and facilities. These universities are well known because of their quality
teaching that most of the parents want for their offspring. And together with
those hundreds of universities is De La Salle University. It has been 100 years
since the De La Salle University started teaching in the Philippines, the first
campus was established year 1911 in Manila and since then De La Salle
University continues to grow and expand to give the children in the Philippines
a world class education and to reach every children in every corner of the
Philippines.
The
latest university of De La Salle is now located in Biñan, in the land
donated by the family of the late National artist of the Philippines of
Architecture Leandro V. Locsin, the campus was named De La Salle Canlubang
Leandro V. Locsin Campus in honor of the Locsin family.
De La Salle University
Science and Technology Complex, Leandro V. Locsin Campus also known as De La
Salle Canlubang started to offer their services since 2003. But the existence
of the school is quite vague due to its location and address. Since last year 2012
De La Salle Canlubang was successfully merged to De La Salle Taft giving the
STC a chance to be as prestige as other La Salle Universities do. A great
school with an interesting history, this paper will help us to learn more about
the history of De La Salle Canlubang and how it started.
II.
How De La Salle
University Started in the Philippines
The Brothers of the Christian Schools, officially known as Fratres Scholarum Christianarum or FSC, is a congregation dedicated to
the teachings espoused by St. John Baptist De La Salle.
The first De La Salle School in the Philippines was opened
on June 16, 1911 along General Luna, Paco, Manila at the request of the
Archbishop of Manila. In 1921, the school was moved to its present site on Taft
Avenue. Unable to accommodate requests for admission to the elementary grades,
they had to revert an earlier policy not to expand. To date, they have spread
out to different provinces. The Brothers have since opened in Greenhills,
Antipolo, Lipa, Bacolod, Ilagan, Dasmarinas, and Alabang. They have also
undertaken supervision of some schools in Manila, Cavite, Bataan, Cebu,
Bukidnon, Surigao del Sur, Negros Occidental, Masbate, Capiz, and Ozamis. Today
they are known as De La Salle
Supervised Schools.
III.
How De La Salle
Canlubang Started
Around 1977, the idea of having another La Salle School,
this time in the Laguna area was conceptualized. This was when Architect Lindy
Locsin, then a member of the DLSU board of Trustees, offered to donate several
hectares of his family's land to La Salle. In 1997, this generous donation of
the Locsins was realized. La Salle Purchased an additional contiguous hectares
making De La Salle Canlubang a sprawling fifty hectare campus.
Laguna is fast becoming the country's industrial and
technological site. Its large, industrial companies presently make it the home
of the first Science Technological Park. In response to the ever-quickening
pace of scientific and technological development of modern times, the concept
of a three-level science and technology oriented school took root. Hence, De La
Salle University Science & Technology Complex was established in June 2003
in order to address the educational concerns of our nation with its youth as
its strength. They are envisioned to be grounded on science and technological
skills cloaked in the ideals of St. La Salle as an answer to the demands and
challenges of the 21st century.
The Integrated school opened its doors to 240 students from
preschool to grade 4 and grade 8 (second year high school) during its first
year. The curriculum adapts to the science education as its basis. Science
emphasizes hands-on exploration and direct experience with the natural world;

SUMMARY OF INTERVIEWS
OLD LA SALLE CANLUBANG
Base on those who have
graduated La Salle Canlubang, they said La Salle Canlubang before is a big
school with few students, approximately 100 college students. It’s quite normal
before because of the ambiguity of its location, De La Salle Canlubang is
really located in Biñan Laguna, and not in Calubang.
De La Salle Canlubang, prior to the incoming integration, was
a blooming educational community. It always had the laid-back atmosphere that
could be felt by students, teachers, and staff alike. The location of the
campus always presented a calm and collected haven for nurturing learners and
teachers alike, and also the air and ambiance of DLSC is good for studying,
fresh air and green pasture.

THOUGHTS ABOUT MERGING
A. STUDENTS:
1. I
don’t see any any changes.
-
John Ernest Ramos, BSCS
-4
2. Students
became more active and the campus became more lively. We can now see students
from taft and STC working together as one, just like what we have seen last
student leader elections.
-
Paolo Eduardo L.
Garces, BSIS-3
3. The upcoming merger presents an oppurtunity for
the students of DLSC/DLSU-STC to get a feel of the high pressure atmosphere
environment presented by the Manila campus and, in the same way, lets the
DLSU-M students feel the calm and open-ended atmosphere presented by the STC
campus. More or less it's the possibility of stretching and expanding the
learning potential of both student bodies that is presenting itself on the upcoming
merger.
-
John Zaraspe, BSECE-3
4. The
Merging is okay, it gives different opportunities to the student, although it
creates a grey area or line between STC students and Taft students. We can see
that although working together they’re still moving as 2 different school not
as 1. But we hope as time pass by, we can overcome this and together work as 1.
-
Olive Marie Sevila,
BSIS-4
5. The merging was quite expected, in my opinion,
but not this soon. I thought it would happen in a couple more years.
Nonetheless, it has changed the school that was once DLSC. With one of the
biggest changes happening in the merging about to happen (the DLSU-STC
Government), it was then that I noticed that what DLSU-M will bring in DLSU-STC
might be able to awaken the students even more.

6.
I hate it All organizations in
Canlubang might be forced to merge With Taft
-
Ian De Jesus
7. I'm very pro-merging. It'll open up a lot of
opportunities for students from both campuses.
-
Kim Blanquera, BSCS-2
B.
EMPLOYEE:
We
didn’t manage to get a proper interview with any of the employee but each and
everyone of them have a positive response about the merging, though merging
requires a lot of changes they’re ready to aide DLSU-STC to achieve its
improved goals.
According to Ms. Oclida, it has a postive and negative effect. Postivie effect will be bigger market for La Salle. More students will have a chance to study in La Salle. Students from laguna doesnt need to go to Manila anymore. Negative effect will be Taft students maybe does not want to be moved here in Canlubang. Somehow it will be also hassle for them to travel for a class.

SUMMARY OF THOUGHTS :
MEGING
Hearing
the response of the interviewees, I can understand the way they feel towards
the so called merging of DLSU TAFT and DLS-Canlubang. Some view it negatively
while others are positive about it. Most of the negative reactions / responses
from them are that DLSU-STC is now dependent on DSLU TAFT unlike before the
campus is independent in participating in any curricular and non-curricular
activities. One this is the possibility of dissolving the existing
organizations of DLSC and merge it to the organizations from Taft, this is
quite unfair for the members of the organization who prove themselves worthy to
have the organization.
As
for the positive responses, they’re happy about it because the merging will
open more opportunities to the student of DLSC, the merging will also give a
new experience for the students socially, educationally, and spiritually. Where
this experience is necessary for the growth of a new leader that can help our
society.
