Education and Liberal Arts were the initial courses offered, both with Mr. Juan Javier serving as the first dean. Deans of Commerce are Pablo C. Umali and Francisco G. Perez, respectively. Additionally, the high school and elementary department were launched, with Mrs. Flordeliza M. Arguelles and Ms. Gliceria Martinez serving as the respective principals. Due to the sudden increase from 48 to 78 students after a year, the classes were transferred to the Javier house, which was located on the corner of D. Silang and P. Burgos streets.

Executive Committee

[edit]

The Executive Committee, led by Manuel Panganiban, was established by the Board of Trustees to restructure the management and administration of WPC. The institution had maintained its ideals of offering a top-notch education to the youth of Batangas and the surrounding areas. Abelardo B. Perez was chosen by the Executive Committee members as President and Chairman after three years. The officers of the Board of Trustees made the decision to convert the organization to a stock corporation during the tenure of Perez, and on December 23, 1967, the Securities and Exchange Commission officially registered it as such.
