 THE COLLEGE SEAL

“A.M.” stands for “Ave Maria” in praise of our

Blessed Mother Mary, the Patroness of the RVM
Congregation. The stars which surround the AM
represent the God-given prerogatives of Mary, Mother
of God and Mother of the Church. The rays signify the
light and wisdom from God through Jesus Christ, the
Light of the World. The sampaguita beneath the book
symbolizes the purity of heart of Mary and Mother
Ignacia and the Filipino origin of the school. At the
center of the seal is an open book which bears the
Latin inscription “Initium Sapientiae Timor Domini.”
This means “the fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom.” It expresses filial fear, a disposition
of profound reverence, awe and love for God, the
Source of all wisdom, grace and life.

 Historical Sketch of
St. Mary’s College, Quezon City

S t. Mary’s College, Quezon City, is a non-stock, non-profit Catholic school

administered by the Religious of the Virgin Mary, the first pontifically approved
congregation for women in the Philippines. The Congregation, originally known as
the Beaterio de la Compañia de Jesus, was founded in 1684 by Mother Ignacia del
Espiritu Santo, a Chinese-Filipino mestiza.
The history of St. Mary’s College, Quezon City is traced back to the foundation
years of the Congregation which started one of the first exclusive schools for girls in
1725. A landmark in Spanish Intramuros, it was known as the Colegio del Beaterio.
The beatas taught not only catechism but also fancy needlework for this was their
main source of support. After several years, they started to teach the Spanish
language, music and the fundamentals of proper home management and social
graces.
The Institution was more formally organized through the years. In 1901, the
Beaterio held its first general chapter and became a Congregation. Eleven years
after, in 1912 the school was formally incorporated and the Elementary Course was
recognized by the government. The Secondary Course was opened and duly given
recognition shortly after. Domestic Science, now known as Home Economics, was
formally offered making the College one of the first private schools to offer such
course. The school received in 1935 the formal government recognition of Junior
Normal College course. In 1939, the name Colegio del Beaterio was officially
changed to St. Mary’s College in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Patroness
of the Congregation. In the same year, the Bachelor of Science in Education was
formally recognized by the government. Since then, other college courses began to
be offered.
St. Mary’s College was the first private school to open its doors just after the
liberation of Manila in 1945 in response to the needs of students who wanted to
resume or finish their studies. Originally established for girls, St. Mary’s College
admitted boys in the Grade School after the war. Since the building in Intramuros
had been reduced to ashes, its site was transferred to the Immaculate Conception
Ladies Hall in España, just in front of the University of Santo Tomas. From 1946 to
1950, however, it was housed in a rented building at Aragon Street, Sampaloc. In
April 1950, St. Mary’s College made Quezon City its permanent site undaunted by
the isolation of the place and the difficulty of transportation then.
College course offerings since 1950 included Bachelor of Science in Education,
Elementary Teaching Certificate, Secretarial, Associate in Arts, Bachelor of Music,
Associate in Music, Bachelor of Elementary Education and other special courses.
In 1976, the changing political, socio-economic and cultural climate led the
administrators to temporarily suspend the operation of the college. There was also
a felt need to concentrate on basic education. In its desire to upgrade the quality of
instruction, St. Mary’s College embarked on a self-evaluation project which led to a
formal application for accreditation through the Philippine Accrediting Association of
Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). The High School Department was
accredited in 1975 and the Grade School Department in 1978. Subsequent PAASCU
visits confirmed the quality education offered by St. Mary’s College. In 1997, St. Mary’s

2
College heeded the request of parents to admit boys to High School. Meanwhile,
encouraged by the PAASCU Accrediting body, the College Department also ventured
on a self-survey process in SY 2017-2018. The BS Social Work Program then was
given the approval for applying for Formal Survey.
With the sustained improvement in instruction and services, the Board of Trustees
decided to re-open the College Department following the semestral-based calendar.
Preparations were done and in 2002, St. Mary’s College was given the permit to
start offering Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies. Teacher Education
Programs were offered in 2003 while the Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2005,
government recognitions were received in 2006 and 2008 respectively. In addition
to these programs, the college offers short – term courses such as Caregiver and
Nursing Assistant and English Proficiency. The Center for Music and Arts (CMA) has
become an extension service catering to Basic Education pupils, students and non-
Marians.
In Academic Year 2013-2014, the College Department decided for voluntary
closure of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. New academic programs were
introduced in the same year: Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Bachelor of Science
in Social Work, Bachelor of Science in Office Administration, and Bachelor of Science
in Accounting Technology. In Academic Year 2016-2017, Government Recognitions
were granted to these programs.
On November 23 - 25, 2015, the College Department underwent the Institutional
Sustainability Assessment (ISA) process facilitated by the Commission on Higher
Education. The aim was to assess its sustainability or survival to compete locally and
globally through the programs offered and to be efficient and effective through quality
systems on five (5) key result areas (KRAs) namely: Governance and Management,
Quality of Teaching and Learning, Quality of Professional Exposure, Research
and Creative Work, Support for Students, and Relations with the Community. The
final report was received on May 9, 2017 from the Office of the Institutional Quality
Assurance and Governance (OIQAG).
On May 15, 2014, partnership with Polytechnic University of the Philippines-
Open University (PUP-OU) was realized through the Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) which aimed at strengthening collaborative programs and produce high
quality researches.
In keeping with the ASEAN regions’ goal of “one vision, one identity, one
community”, St. Mary’s College, Quezon City has forged formal affiliation agreements
with ASEAN educational institutions. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University, Thailand was signed and effected on
May 7, 2015. This was renewed on February 21, 2019. Another Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) was finalized with Kkottongnae University, South Korea,
Kanto Gakuin University, Japan and Asia University, Japan on May 22, 2017, April 9,
2018 and March 19, 2019, respectively. On November 22, 2017, a Memorandum of
Understanding was signed with Singapore Institute of Multidisciplinary Professions
(SIMP) and Ascendens Asia Group (AAG). Some others followed. Memoranda of
Understanding were finalized on October 15, 2018 and November 15, 2018 with
International Cross-Cultural Exchange and Professional Development (ICEPD)-
Thailand and with The Demonstration School of Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University,
Thailand, respectively. New partnerships were established with Providence
University, Taichung, Taiwan and International School - Thai Nguyen University,

3
Vietnam on February 11, 2020 and March 6, 2020, respectively. These partnerships
opened up various opportunities for greater interactions which were facilitated
through research, language communication, and exchange programs for students,
faculty and school staff.
With the advent of the Senior High School Program as an essential feature of the
Enhanced K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, a Transition and Implementation Plan
for SY 2013-2014 to SY 2015-2016 was designed and implemented. Consequently,
two relevant research studies were conducted and yielded results pertinent to
the school’s absorptive capacity and students’ profile. Orientation sessions for
the school’s stakeholders were held for effective information dissemination.
Documentary requirements for Senior High School (SHS) application were submitted
to the Department of Education on April 14, 2014. For SY 2014-2015, benchmarking
activities geared towards effective SHS implementation were held. Environmental
scanning results of nearby public and private schools validated the necessity to offer
the Academic Strand which will address the emerging needs and preferences of
the students. On April 10, 2015, the application of St. Mary’s College, Quezon City
to offer Senior High School Academic Track was approved by the Department of
Education through the Bureau of Secondary Education. In July 2015, the school
established linkages with partner industries for possible work immersions of SHS
students. Memoranda of Understanding were signed. The school was formally
granted Government Permit (NCR) No. SHS – 0138, s. 2016 on February 16, 2016.
Since School Year 2016-2017, the following strands under the Academic Track
have been offered in Grades 11 and 12: Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), Humanities
and Social Sciences (HumSS) and General Academic (GA) Strands.
Committed to improve its educational services and to make the institution
globally competitive, St. Mary’s College decided in 2003 to work towards ISO
Certification. TUV Rheinland Philippines, Inc. looked into the maintenance of quality
management system on the entire school policies, procedures and processes.
The International Organization for Standardization Certificate Registration No.
0100023285 was awarded to St. Mary’s College, Quezon City in March 2003 for the
Design, Development and Implementation of Basic Education Services according
to the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001:2000/9001:2008. Every year thereafter,
successful Re-certification was granted to the institution by the Certifying Body. With
the focus to sustain total quality management, for the whole institution, the College
Department was included in the scope of certification. Thus, a new certificate with
ID number 9105018757 was awarded on March 29, 2012 with validity until June 15,
2015 for Design, Development and Implementation of Basic Education, Tertiary and
Tech-Voc Services. Re-certification was successfully attained and the institution was
awarded the certificate with validity up to June 15, 2018. On January 30-31, 2018,
the institution underwent certification to ISO 9001:2015 with upgrade. On April 10,
2018, the certificate was awarded with validity up to April 9, 2021.
True to its tradition, St. Mary’s College believes firmly that the home is the
essential element in society and the most influential factor in most aspects of human
development. The institution is committed to carry on a strong program of religious
instruction, communications and social services. It continues to offer the Ignacian
transformative education to develop the Ignacian Marian leaders who live the values
of faith, excellence, and service.

 PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

St. Mary’s College, Quezon City adheres to the RVM Philosophy of

Education aimed at leading all to fullness of life in Jesus Christ.

We believe that…
- God is Father, who, in abundant love and total graciousness, created
humanity and all creation to share His love.
- When humanity chose to live apart from God, in his tender mercy the
Father sent His Son Jesus to show humanity the way back to Him to
pursue the path of justice, truth and love.
- The Father sent the Holy Spirit to sanctify, inspire, guide and enlighten
everyone in following Jesus so that the will of God for the well-being of
all may be fulfilled.

Mother of the Church. Mary, being the first disciple, journeys with us
to fullness of life in Jesus Christ.

source of all wisdom (cf. Prov. 2:6; 9:10; Job 28:20.23; Eccl 2:26; Ps
51:6; James 3:17-18).
- Education is a life-long process whereby human persons grow and
develop their potentials in the pursuit of their God-given mission of
transforming all things in Jesus Christ.
- Learning is growth for every person to become a witness to faith,
excellence and service in varied socio-cultural settings; thus participate
in the transforming experience of life in Jesus Christ.

reverence for creation and person, which fortifies the spirit of
communion.
- The Students who are citizens of their times, unique with their own

the promise and the potentials for the actualization of the mission
entrusted to them.
- The Teachers are persons committed to the process of becoming
whole and to the task of leading others to maturity in Jesus Christ.

their search for truth, beauty and goodness.

J. POLICIES, RULES AND REGULATIONS ON

BULLYING

Adapted from the Policies, Rules and Regulations

on Bullying by the Religious of the Virgin Mary
Education Ministry Commission
214 N. Domingo St., Quezon City

St. Mary’s College, Quezon City is committed to provide a caring,

friendly, safe and healthy learning environment. Accordingly, the
school has a zero- tolerance policy for bullying that infringes the safety
and health of any student. All members of the school community
which include the teachers, support service personnel, parents,
guardians, students and all other community members collaboratively
work together to make the school a happy and secured place. The
school supports the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the
Child (CRC) which aim to protect children from all forms of physical
or mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect or negligent treatment,
maltreatment and exploitation, including sexual abuse. It is likewise
mandated by CRC that all appropriate measures be undertaken to
ensure that school discipline is administered in a manner consistent
with the child’s human dignity and in conformity with the CRC. In
pursuance to Child Protection Policy and Republic Act. No 10627 also
known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, the school has established the
Child Protection Committee which covers Anti-Bullying policy. “Bullying”
shall refer to any severe or repeated use by one or more students of a
written, verbal or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture, or
any combination thereof, directed at another student that has the effect
of actually causing or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical
or emotional harm or damage to his/her property; creating a hostile
environment at school for the other student; infringing on the rights of
the other student at school; or materially and substantially disrupting

42
the education process or the orderly operation of a school; such as,
but not limited to the following: (a) any unwanted physical contact
between the bully and the victim like punching, pushing, shoving,
kicking, slapping, tickling, headlocks, inflicting school pranks, teasing,
fighting and the use or available objects as weapons; (b) any act that
causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional well-being; (c)
any slanderous statement or accusation that causes the victim undue
emotional distress like directing foul language or profanity at the target,
name-calling, tormenting and commenting negatively on victim’s looks,
clothes and body; and (d) cyber-bullying or any bullying done through
the use of technology or any electronic means.
St. Mary’s College, Quezon City recognizes that bullying has many
forms and can be done in and out of school premises. Accordingly, St.
Mary’s College, Quezon City prohibits (a) bullying on school grounds;
property immediately adjacent to school grounds; at school-sponsored
or school-related activities, functions or programs whether on or off
school grounds; at school bus stops; on school buses or other vehicles
owned, leased or used by a school; or through the use of technology
or an electronic device owned, leased or used by a school; (b) bullying
at a location, activity, function or program that is not school-related and
through the use of technology or an electronic device that is not owned,
leased or used by a school if the act or acts in question create a hostile
environment at school for the victim, infringe on the rights of the victim
at school, or materially and substantially disrupt the education process
or the orderly operation of a school; and (c) retaliation against a person
who reports bullying, who provides information during an investigation
of bullying, or who is a witness to or has reliable information about
bullying.

 MADRE IGNACIA, ULIRAN NG KAGITINGAN
Isang muting binhi sa Binondo sumibol
Dinilig ng biyaya lumaki yumabong
Namunga sa kabanalang ang hiyas ay karukhaan
Damit ay kalinisan at masunuring kalooban.
Pinalakas ng pag-ibig itong babaing mahinhin
Pinatibay ng pananalig ang pusong mahiyain
Sa Santa Iglesia nagbigay ng bagong supling
Angkan ni Maria, RVM ang naging turing.

//Madre Ignacia, uliran ng kagitingan
Sa pakikilaban kami ay patnubayan.
Madre Ignacia, hantungan ng aming paggiliw
Madre Ignacia babaing tapat at hanggang libing
Landas mong tinahak ang pangarap naming sundin
Daan ng paglilingkod, pagtitiis at panalangin.

MIDES’ WAY
Come, walk the way of Mother Foundress
Walking the way to happiness
In the presence of the Lord with Mary loving all the way.
1. She walked the way of humility.
Her love for God over all.
Her songs were silence and simplicity.
Joy in hiddenness, her call.
2. She walked the way of courage.
Leaving her home and riches for more,
Not caring what other people said.
The Lord gave her strength even more.
3. She walked the way of poverty,
Trusting the Lord for her daily bread.
By the sweat of her brow she did live.
In the world she entrusted her need.
4. She walked the way of generosity.
To rich and poor she did bring
Christ, our brother, rich in charity,
Joyful service her witnessing.
(living, loving all the way.)

THANK YOU, LORD, FOR MOTHER IGNACIA

Thank you Lord, for Your gift
You blessed Your land with Your smile
A smile so sweet and so loving
In the person of our Mother Ignacia.

83
 1. Oh woman of courage and great faith.
Teach us to walk the way of holiness.
2. Love of the courage and great faith,
Help us to walk the way of holiness.
3. Like Mary you followed Christ’s way,
Guide us your children to walk His way.

MAKING A GOOD CONFESSION

There are three acts required from the penitent for forgiveness
through the sacrament. These are the following:
1. Contrition is a sincere sorrow for having offended God, the
most important act of penitent. There can be no forgiveness
of sin if we do not have sorrow and firm resolve not to repeat
our sin.
2. Confession requires confronting our sin in a profound way
before God by acknowledging them aloud to a priest.
3. Satisfaction is the “penance” the priest impose on the penitent
to make amends for sin, an important part of our healing.
Confession is not difficult, but it does require preparation. We
should begin with prayer, placing ourselves in the presence of
God, our loving Father. We seek healing and forgiveness through
repentance and a resolve to sin no more. Then, we review our
lives since our last confession, searching our thoughts, words
and actions that did not conform to God’s love, to His law or to
the laws of the Church. This review is called an “examination of
conscience.”

STEPS IN THE RITE OF RECONCILIATION

Before Confession
1. Humbly and sincerely ask the Lord’s forgiveness and the
grace you need to avoid sin in the future.
2. Try to identify the internal root cause of your sins; wrong
inclinations, personal weaknesses, bad habits… and see what
you can do to eliminate at least one of these “root causes.”
This means resolve to work seriously at becoming a better
person by either getting rid of one serious moral defect or by
strengthening one good moral quality (virtue).
3. Ask the Lord for the grace to make a sincere and thorough
confession.
4. Pray daily for the strength to avoid occasion of sin, especially
for those sins you were just absolved from.
The penitent can go to confession privately behind a screen
or face-to-face with the priest.

84
 During confession
1. Begin by making the Sign of the Cross and greeting the priest:
“Bless me Father for I have sinned.” Allow the priest to give
you his blessing and to add whatever exhortation he may be
inspired to offer. Listen prayerfully and with an open heart,
then say: “My last confession was”… (weeks, months or
years).
2. Then, confess your sins clearly and sincerely, starting with the
most difficult or embarrassing ones. Should you feel nervous
or uncertain about some sins, ask the priest to help you.
Remember, it is necessary to specify the number of mortal
sins, together with the circumstances that add to the gravity.
3. When you had finished confessing all the sins that you
remember, say: I am sorry for these and for all my sins.”
4. The priest will assign you a penance and offer guidance to
help you become a better Catholic. The penance imposed will
take into account your personal situation and support your
spiritual good. It may be a prayer, an offering, works of mercy,
service or sacrifice, but it joins us in some way to Christ and to
the cross.
5. You say the Act of Contrition either in your own words,
expressing sorrow for your sins.
6. The priest, acting in the person of Christ, then, will absolve
you from your sins by saying the Prayer of Absolution, to
which you make the Sign of the Cross and respond, “Amen.”
7. The priest will offer some proclamations of praise, such as
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” to which you respond
“His mercy endures forever.”
8. The priest, then, will dismiss you. Because sin often harms
others, you must make satisfaction for your sins by completing
your assigned penance.

After Confession
Kneel down in front of the altar or an image of our Lord, and
thank Him for the gift of this confession. Renew your resolutions,
and ask His help to overcome future temptations.
The humility required in confessing and completing penance
helps us to submit again to God’s will and follow Him more closely.
Confession is a blessing, offering peace, a clear mind and a
hopeful heart.

85
 ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and
I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the
pains of hell, but most of all because I offended you, my God, Who
are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with
the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to
amend my life. Amen.

THE APOSTLES’ CREED (New Version)

I believe in God, the Father Almighty. Creator of heaven
and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontious Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He
descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the
dead; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the
living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Jesus.

hour of our death. Amen!

as it was the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen!

and lead all souls to heaven, especially those who most need of
your mercy.

87
MYSTERIES OF JOY (Mondays and Saturdays)
1. THE ANNUNCIATION
We recall how the Son of God became a
human being, through the cooperation of Mary,
the humble virgin of Nazareth. Thanks to her
generous availability, the work of our salvation
to be accomplished by God’s incarnate Son
could begin.

2. THE VISITATION
We recall how Mary journeyed to the hill country
of Judea to visit Elizabeth, and how for three
months she stayed there to help her. Together,
the two holy ladies praised the Lord who had
filled them with His blessings.

3. THE BIRTH OF JESUS IN BETHLEHEM

We recall the scene of the nativity at Bethlehem.
Born in a poor stable, Jesus, the Son-of-God-
made-man, was first revered by Mary, Joseph
and the shepherds. This is the most important
moment in the history of mankind.

4. THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS IN THE

TEMPLE
We recall how Mary and Joseph took Jesus
to the Temple to present Him to the Lord in
fulfillment of the demands of the Law. That
offering was a symbol of the whole life of Jesus
and a prophecy of His death on the cross.

5. THE FINDING OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE

We recall how great was the joy of Mary and
Joseph when they found the Child Jesus in
the Temple after three days of persevering
search and confident prayer. This was also
an opportunity for Jesus to remind Mary and
Joseph about His mission.

88
MYSTERIES OF SORROW (Tuesday and Fridays)
1. THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN
We recall how bitterly Jesus suffered
emotionally, especially at the thought of the
terrible sins that people continue to commit.
But in spite of His desire to be spared of such
suffering, His concluding prayer was: “Father,
not my will but Yours be done!”

2. THE SCOURGING AT THE PILLAR

We recall how Jesus in spite of His being
innocent, and having been declared such by
Pilate, was cruelly scourged like a criminal. He
endured that terrible physical pain especially
in atonement of our sins of lust and self-
indulgence.

3. THE CROWNING WITH THORNS

We recall how Jesus was crowned with thorns
by the soldiers who also mocked Him as they
shouted, “Hail! King of the Jews! He endured all
those humiliations and tortures to make up for
all the sins of pride and cruelty.

4. THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS

We recall how Jesus carried His heavy Cross
in His wounded shoulders. His enemies kept
insulting Him, while most of His disciples went
into hiding. Only His mother and a few friends
followed Him, while Simon of Cyrene relieved
Him of His Cross.

5. THE CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH OF JESUS

We recall how Jesus was nailed to the Cross,
while praying for His executioners. There He
agonized for three long hours. Before dying,
He promised heaven to the repentant thief
and gave us His own Mother. Then He died,
entrusting His soul to His all-loving Father.

MYSTERIES OF GLORY (Wednesday and Sundays)
1. THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS
We recall how Jesus rose from death on Easter
morning. With His resurrection, He showed
that He is the Conqueror of sin and death. His
resurrection is the source of salvation for all the
assurance of our own resurrection.

2. THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD

We recall how Jesus blessed His beloved
Mother and the Apostles and then ascended
into heaven where He shares in God’s power.
In heaven, He constantly intercedes for us. He
will come again as the Judge of all.

3. THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

We recall how Mary, the Apostles and other
disciples received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost
morning. The spirit kindled in their hearts to urge
to proclaim Jesus as the Savior of all mankind
and gave them strength to witness Him in their
lives.

4. THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY

We recall how Jesus took His Mother to heaven
in body and soul. This was His generous reward
for her faithful love for Him during her earthly
life and a foreshadowing of the glory God has
in store for all those who love Him in imitation of
Mary most Holy.

5. THE CORONATION OF MARY AS QUEEN OF

HEAVEN AND EARTH
We recall that heaven is the eternal homeland of
all those who love God and neighbor as Jesus
taught. Together with Mary as their Queen, all
the saints constantly enjoy God’s friendship and
intercede for their brothers and sisters who are
still on earth.

90
MYSTERIES OF LIGHT (Thursdays)
1. THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
We recall how Jesus, though perfectly
sinless asked to be baptized by John to fully
identify Himself with all sinners and take their
transgressions upon Himself. On that occasion,
the Father solemnly declared that Jesus was
His beloved Son.

2. THE WEDDING AT CANA

We recall how Jesus changed water into wine
during a wedding in the village of Cana, in
Galilee. That was His first miracle. He performed
it in response to His Mother’s intervention, and
thus, His disciples came to believe in Him.

3. THE PROCLAMATION OF GOD’S KINGDOM

We recall how Jesus began His mission by
preaching repentance and proclaiming that the
Kingdom of God was at hand. He explained what
the Kingdom was like through His preaching
and showed power through the miracles He
performed.

4. THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS

We recall how Jesus climbed a high mountain
in company with Peter, James and John. While
He was absorbed in prayer, His body became
as bright as the sun. God the Father enjoined
the disciples to listen to Jesus, His beloved
Son.

5. THE INSTITUTION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST

Let us recall how Jesus, on the night He was
betrayed, instituted the Eucharist, as the
sacrificial meal of the New Alliance. Through
this most Holy Sacrament, He makes Himself
the spiritual food and drink of His disciples until
the end of the time.

91

 APPENDICES
APPENDIX A
EXPULSION
(Re-amendment to par. 146, sub par, a and c of the Manual of Regulations
for Private Schools. 7th ed. 1970 as contained in Circular No. 16, 1970)

The penalty of expulsion is an extreme form of administrative sanction

WHICH DEBARS THE STUDENT FROM ALL PRIVATE AND PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. To be valid and effective, the penalty of expulsion requires the
approval of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. Expulsion is
usually considered proper punishment for gross misconduct or dishonesty
and/or such offenses, as hazing, carrying deadly weapons, immorality,
drunkenness, vandalism, hooliganism, assaulting a teacher or any other
school authority, instigation, engaging in activities resulting in damage
to campus or school facilities/property or injury to persons, preventing
or threatening students or faculty members or school authorities from
discharging their duties, or from attending classes or entering the school
premises, forging or tampering school records or transfer forms, or
securing or using such forged transfer credentials.

APPENDIX B

COMPREHENSIVE DANGEROUS DRUGS ACT OF 2002

(Republic Act No. 9165)
Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive
Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, which was passed into a law on June 7,
2002, overhauls the 30-year-old Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972. The new
law increases penalties for drug related offenses while placing more
emphasis on the rebuilding of lives through rehabilitation and treatment.
The law is primarily designed to safeguard the well-being of its citizenry
especially the youth from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs. Its
provisions against the use of dangerous drugs show the intent of present
legislature to pursue an intensive and unrelenting campaign to eliminate
the drug menace and reintegrate its victims into the society.
Any teacher or school employee who discovers or finds that any
person in the school or within its immediate vicinity is liable for violating
any of the said provision, shall have the duty to report the same to the
school head or immediate superior who shall, in turn, report the matter to
the proper authorities.
Failure to do so in either case within a reasonable period from the time
of discovery of the violations shall, after due hearing, constitute sufficient
cause for disciplinary action by the school authorities.
