president’s message 

It is my great pleasure to share with 

you some highlights of the past year at 

Miriam College. 

School Year 2011-2012 marked Miriam 

College’s 85th anniversary and an 

opportunity for the MC community to 

celebrate our achievements and to 

recognize the hard work and dedication 

of our teachers, students and 

administrators. I like to think that we 

have kept the best of the lessons that 

we learned from our Maryknoll founders 

while we have embraced opportunities 

for innovation in teaching to grow the 

talents and abilities of our students 

and staff. Miriam College, true to its 

roots, is a school dedicated to 

innovation, creativity, and growth—in 

teaching and in learning and as an 

institution! Our goal is, quite simply, to 

improve the overall student experience. 

Foremost in the Maryknoll heritage 

and the MC mission is the importance of 

meaningful student-centered teaching. 

We can see this dynamism in the 

satisfaction of our students, in the 

development of our faculty and staff, 

and in the effectiveness of our programs. 

I am personally proud of the way in 

which we at MC have developed and 

grown the STEM program and have 

made our girls and young women leaders 

in the fields of Science, Technology, 

Engineering and Math, areas traditionally 

dominated by men. We continue to 

distinguish ourselves as a school 

providing outstanding educational 

opportunities in these fields. 

Part of our emphasis on developing 

our girls’ skill and knowledge in STEM 

led us to the application of e-learning 

tools to enhance the teaching and 

learning experience inside and outside 

the classroom. Working and living in 

the 21st century requires an expanded 

set of skills and competencies particularly 

in the digital and global education 

spheres, and we want to make sure our 

faculty, students, and graduates excel in 

these. 

I think it worth mentioning that 

we have invested more heavily in our 

teachers as they serve as front line of 

the school. They ensure that our students 

receive the best education possible. 

Not only have some of our best teachers 

furthered and expanded their training 

through seminars and workshops at 

top notch institutions such as Harvard 

University and Phillips Exeter Academy, 

but they have taken these lessons and 

spread them throughout the classrooms, 

infecting our young learners with a 

greater appreciation and understanding 

of their disciplines, encouraging them 

to explore, develop and further their 

intellectual gifts. I believe that student 

and faculty satisfaction is at a record 

high. 

Miriam College’s growth and expansion 

goes beyond strengthening and 

developing our students and teachers. 

We have also decided to invest in a 

new venture, MC-NUVALI. MC-NUVALI 

is an opportunity for Miriam College to 

stake a claim, to build a new school in 

Nuvali, Laguna, South of Metro Manila. 

We have committed to carving this 

space, crafting a co-educational school 

in a new Ayala Land development. We 

are in the process of drawing up plans 

for the infrastructure, finding the right 

teachers and staff, opening our doors 

for the students to come. We face a 

unique challenge and I hope that you 

will join in our excitement and spread 

the word. 

As we celebrate our history and 

achievements, we move forward with 

fierce determination to reach even 

greater heights, committed to our QRS: 

Quality - in our Programs, in 

our Teaching, in our Research, in our 

Services 

Relevance - to our Mission, to 

society, to our students, and to 21st 

century life and learning 

Sustainability - through 

efficient management of the institution 

and its resources 

We have imbibed these as the core 

characteristics of our work so that we 

remain focused on our goals and 

mission—that Miriam College’s impact 

on its students and the larger community 

would be truly felt and enduring. 

The entire Miriam College community 

expresses its deep gratitude to all 

its partners and friends for journeying 

with us for the past 85 years. It has 

been a wonderful and inspiring journey. 

Rosario O. Lapus, Ph.D. 

President, Miriam College

PROGRAMS 

We will continue to focus on maintaining high academic 

standards at all levels and areas, and developing innovative, 

relevant and student-centered programs that respond to 

multiple intelligences and are supported by solid research.

Stepping Up for STEM 

A special area of focus in the Basic 

Education Unit (BEU) this school year 

was STEM (Science, Technology, 

Engineering, and Mathematics) which 

was given more emphasis in the 

curriculum and instruction across 

levels. Miriam College took on the 

challenge of engaging its students in 

these subjects through new 

methodologies, programs and activities. 

Building-up on the innate curiousity 

of preschoolers, the Child Study 

Center (CSC) integrated projects and 

activity-based lessons that were 

essential to experiential learning and 

critical thinking. Examples of these 

activities included trips to the grocery 

to teach them how to use money and 

conducting experiments to find out 

which objects sink and float as a lesson 

on buoyancy. 

These methods of instruction allowed 

young students to use simple scientific 

skills of observation, exploration, 

interaction with the environment, and 

experimentation; discover the wise 

use of technology; develop creativity, 

problem-solving, and critical thinking 

skills; develop skills in analyzing, 

reasoning, and communicating using 

various media. The CSC students were 

also exposed to role models. Experts 

in STEM fields were invited to share 

about their professional work. 

The Grade School unit engaged students 

in collaborative projects in the classroom 

and stimulating field trips to develop 

interest in STEM fields. To enhance 

learning in STEM, Concrete-Pictorial- 

Abstract approach in teaching Math 

was initiated from Grades 1 to 7. The 

use of laboratory sheets designed 

by Science teachers to help students 

develop and enhance scientific attitudes 

and skills are now used across levels. 

Appropriate features and 

methodologies of the Singapore Math 

and Science curricula were employed 

this school year starting with Grade 1. 

A workshop for parents was also 

conducted to familiarize them with the 

Introduced to a pilot batch of first year high school students, the Tablet serves as an interactive 

tool that help students organize their work, collaborate with others and create multi-media 

presentations. 

principles behind Singapore Math and 

Science. 

On its second year, the Inventors’ 

Convention showcased investigatory 

projects of Grade 4 students. 

Standardized investigatory project 

guidelines were established for 

Grades 5 to 7 to prepare them for 

formal presentations of their project 

outcomes. A student Math training 

pool for inter-school competitions 

was formed this year and specialized 

faculty training in STEM areas were 

undertaken at the local and 

international levels. 

More intensive activities were introduced 

in the High School unit this year. Now 

on its fourth year, the SciMaX (Science 

and Math Exposition) featured students’ 

Science investigatory projects, Math 

Made Extreme activities, and Science 

Music Video Awards, among others. 

Some of the projects showcased 

include determination of the optimal 

sports brassiere cut, conversion of 

polyethylene into biofuel, effect of leg 

length and circumference on running 

speed, and microbial analysis of street 

food. The Programs of Excellence 

(ProEx) in Math, Science, and English 

continue for gifted students as well as 

the Learning Enhancement and 

Advancement Program (LEAP) for 

those who are challenged in these 

learning areas. 

The e-Learning Tool Project was set-up 

for implementation in school year 2012- 

2013. It involves the use of the Acer 

Iconia Tab A200 PC tablets by first year 

students as a teaching and learning aid 

in the classroom. This pilot program 

also features the Genyo Online Learning 

Management System, a fully-integrated 

online learning management system 

for basic education in the Philippines 

developed by Diwa Learning Systems, Inc. 

Lectures will be delivered using digital 

presentations that are supported by 

the latest data, graphics, and videos to 

enhance academic engagement and 

retention. Applications on the device 

will also encourage student-teacher 

collaboration as well as interaction 

and engagement in class activities. 

With these steps, we are changing the 

culture of instruction by developing 

a different mind-set that extends the 

classroom beyond its four walls and 

preparing our students for the digital 

future. 

An accompanying guidebook on the 

use of the tablet and relevant policies 

was developed as well as masteryoriented 

practice books and 

laboratory manuals for Science and 

Mathematics which were written by 

the faculty themselves. An exciting 

development is the on-going research 

for a possible Robotics program as 

part of the curriculum. 

The Miriam College-Southeast Asian

Institute for the Deaf (MC-SAID) and 

Miriam Adult Education (MAE) programs 

have also highlighted STEM in their 

programs. 

Although a highly specialized unit, 

Miriam College-Southeast Asian 

Institute for the Deaf (MC-SAID) 

took steps towards enriching the 

learning experiences of its students 

towards STEM themes. Interest 

in these fields is developed among 

students through the integration of 

more hands-on activities on Science 

topics. Some examples of these are 

exploring how a volcanic eruption 

occurs through group experiments, 

investigating basic cell structures using 

a cheek cell sample, and employing 

scale-modeling skills in creating a diorama 

of an ecosystem. 

These activities engage students in 

more Scientific learning methods and 

critical thinking. 

This year, the Miriam Adult Education 

(MAE) initiated programs to enhance 

its Math and Science curriculum. 

Among these were weekly Math 

Clinic sessions for Mathematicallychallenged 

student; and Math 

Enhancement classes during the 

summer. An annual Math and Science 

Week was also launched for the basic 

education group which involved 

competitions and a showcase of Science 

experiments. Students of the basic 

education programs were exposed to 

computer hardware (with focus on 

troubleshooting), food technology, 

and hair and beauty care technology 

through various modules during the 

MAE Alternative Classes Week. 

While Math is not a required subject 

in other Technical Vocational schools, 

it is required in MAE. All students of 

Computer Hardware Servicing and 

Hotel and Restaurant Services are 

now required to take Business Math 

and Math for Electronics, giving them 

some advantage in these courses. 

Technology and Engineering were also 

integrated in MAE’s Technical Vocational 

courses such as automotive and small 

engine, computer hardware, consumer 

electronics, food technology, and hair 

and beauty care technology. 

Still in line with its STEM programs, the 

school took on some networking 

initiatives with key local and 

international institutions and 

organizations to gain support and 

establish linkages. Exploratory meetings 

were held with the Department of 

Sciencev and Technology (DOST) 

Secretary Mario Montejo and with the 

Philippine Science High School (PSHS) 

through DOST- Science Education 

Institute (DOST-SEI). The school also 

met up with AGHAM Party List 

Congressman Angelo Palmones, who 

donated magnifying glasses to Grade 1 

students. 

NCGS Membership 

Miriam College is the first Asian 

overseas affiliate of the National 

Coalition of Girls Schools (NCGS), 

a leading advocate of girls’ education 

with a distinct commitment to the 

transformative power of all-girls 

schools. In June 2011, a delegation 

from the Basic Education Unit, led 

by the President, participated in the 

NCGS Symposium on Advancing Girls 

in STEM at Wellesley College. This was 

followed by benchmarking activities 

with high-performing secondary 

girls’ schools in Massachusetts and 

prestigious universities in nearby 

states that support meaningful 

learning in the STEM fields and 

communication arts: Dana Hall, 

Emerson College, Franklin D. Olin 

College of Engineering, Tufts 

University Center for Engineering 

Education Outreach, Harvard 

University, Concord Academy, and the 

Asian University for Women. 

The MC Science Garden 

A major component of the school’s 

STEM program is the institutional 

Science Garden, which will serve as a 

living laboratory for students across 

all levels. Research and design of 

the garden is on-going with the aim 

to make it an outdoor classroom, a 

teaching and learning space that will 

provide meaningful hands-on 

educational experiences on fundamental 

scientific concepts. 

Sustained Articulation Efforts 

Through the strong collaboration 

among the Basic Education Units, led 

by the Director of Basic Education, 

initiatives to ensure a seamless 

basic education curriculum continue 

with intensive articulation sessions 

between Kindergarten and Grade 1.

Activity-based lessons are integrated in the curriculum of the Child Study Center to develop 

critical thinking and promote experiential learning. 

On its third year, the Teacher 

Exchange Program (TEP) between 

Grade 7 and First Year High School 

focused on the strengthening of 

requisite skills and content knowledge 

in discipline-based learning in English, 

Mathematics, and Science. This resulted 

in a more systematic streamlining of 

content coverage in Grades 6 and 7 

and First Year High School. Continuous 

curriculum review and development 

are based on the Department of 

Education’s (DepEd) K to 12 program, 

with provisions for continuing 

development. 

K to 12-ready 

In compliance with the proposed K to 

12 program under President Benigno 

S. Aquino III’s Education Reform 

Agenda, discussions on curriculum 

enhancements in the Basic Education 

Unit (BEU) were initiated by the 

Principals. The discussions commenced 

in July 2011 under the supervision of 

the Director for Basic Education. 

The series of meetings resulted in the 

creation of a basic model for K to 12, 

which is based on the Department of 

Education’s guidelines: age of entry 

and graduation; the school’s vision, 

mission, goals; 2 011-2016 Strategic 

Plan, as well as the history of the entry 

age in the Child Study Center (CSC). 

The model provides for a one-time 

mass acceleration scheme commencing 

in SY 2013-2014 and a guaranteed 

curriculum enhancement effective SY 

2012-2013. Through this reconfigured 

basic education cycle, the school will 

be able to meet the government’s K 

to 12 requirments with great ease. 

The basic model was accepted by the 

DepEd in March 2012. In his letter, 

DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro 

expressed with great confidence that 

Miriam College will meet the learning 

standards and competencies set by the 

Department for both elementary and 

secondary Levels. 

A serious assessment on the impact 

of the K to 12 Program on the HEU 

was conducted and some initial action 

points were identified including the 

development of career-focused short 

courses for high school graduates. 

Miriam College administrators were 

also tapped as consultants for the K to 

12 reform agenda at the national level. 

Dr. Edizon A. Fermin, High School 

principal, worked with the DepEd K to 

12 Learning Area Team for Languages 

and Multiliteracies. Together with CSC 

Principal, Ms. Trixie Marie Sison, he 

is also a member of the Commission on 

Higher Education’s (CHED) Technical 

Panel for Teacher Education which is 

also concerned with the K to 12 initiative. 

On January 12, 2012, the school 

hosted the Catholic Educational 

Association of the Philippines (CEAP) 

Basic Education Commission National 

Summit on K to 12. The summit was 

attended by about 1,200 representatives, 

mostly heads and top administrators 

from member schools. It tackled the 

impact of and issues related to the K 

to 12 program and served as a venue 

for Miriam College to share its initiatives 

towards this development, after having 

been identified as a K to 12–ready 

school. 

Basic Education Highlights 

Child Study Center (CSC) 

This school year, the CSC adopted the 

integrative curriculum approach, which 

applies an interdisciplinary teaching 

method wherein the academic 

curriculum is centered on a topic rather 

than divided into separate subjects. 

Through this approach, traditional 

subject areas such as Math, Language, 

Social Studies and Science, are all 

taught together while focusing on a 

specific theme. This allows students 

to make connections between different 

areas as they explore a topic in detail 

and from a variety of approaches. 

In order to come up with an 

integrated curriculum, curricular 

revisions were done to align topics 

according to themes. Relevant 

experiential activities were also 

infused in the lessons to make learning 

more meaningful. Resource speakers 

recognized in their respective fields 

were invited to share their 

knowledge and talk about their work 

to the children. Most of them were 

parents and former students of Miriam 

College. Exposure to the outside 

world was done through mini-field 

trips. A visit to the grocery, restaurant, 

fire station, police station and the like 

made learning more interesting. 

Various experiential activities like 

jeepney and tricycle rides and 

experiments were also done for children 

to understand their world better. 

The Seven Habits of Happy Kids by 

Sean Covey was emphasized in CSC’s

programs across levels. It was 

systematically infused in the daily 

routine of the children with the aim 

of guiding them in the formation of 

desirable habits and attitudes. 

The CSC addressed multiple intelligences 

through its method of instruction and 

in the design of its activities. Efforts 

in this area include focused training 

for faculty towards becoming more 

knowledgeable in Special Education 

(SPEd) and developmentally 

appropriate practices and 

approaches in early childhood 

education. 

Grade School 

This school year, the Grade School 

unit was unanimously granted 

re-accreditation by the Philippine 

Accrediting Association of Schools, 

Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) on 

a clean slate for a period of five years, 

thereby maintaining Level III status. 

The unit was one of 28 elementary 

schools nationwide that was first 

granted such level in 2008. Level III 

accreditation status is a prestigious 

category as basic education institutions 

are normally granted only up to Level 

II status. 

Recognizing multiple intelligences 

among its learners, the Grade School 

this year implemented a restructured 

grading system. Aside from written 

tests and examinations, rubrics for all 

subject areas were created to 

standardize the grading of non-written 

assessments. Weights were 

redistributed in order to give equal 

premium on performance, oral tests, 

projects, homeworks, among others. 

Reduction of class sizes also continue 

to make the learning and teaching 

process more meaningful for both 

student and teacher. 

The curriculum is periodically evaluated 

and updated to ensure it remains 

relevant across levels and that it 

consistently applies student-centered 

methodologies and standard procedures. 

Grade 4 students showcase their investigatory project at the Inventor’s Convention, 

one of the Grade School unit’s activities under its STEM program. 

The Grade School’s PERFORMS 

(Program Enrichment for Reading, 

Mathematics, and Science) in Reading 

was expanded this school year to 

cover Grade 2 to aid them in learning 

specific skills in the subject area. On 

the other hand, the STRIDES (Student 

Training In Developing and Enhancing 

Science, Math, and English Skills) 

program was also enhanced to enable 

academically-gifted students from 

Grades 3 to 7 to experience even 

more challenging offerings. Both 

STRIDES and PERFORMS are held after 

classes. 

High School 

The High School grading system was 

reviewed with focus on learnercenteredness 

and multiple intelligences. 

The unit issued a revised grading system 

that does not transmute grades, 

with 75% as the passing rate. It also 

expanded the letter-marking scheme 

to have nine finer marks that show 

clearer progress indicators. Under its 

new Learning Assessment Standards 

and Scheme or LASS, the new 

distribution of grades accounts for 

normality and allows learners to 

take options for extra credit towards 

enhanced performance. In preparation 

for the new K to 12 national curriculum 

transition, the unit conducted a 

curriculum development workshop. 

This facilitated the reorganization of 

the academic program from eight 

academic departments into five: 

1. Natural and Engineering Sciences 

(includes Human Kinetics/Sports 

Science) 

2. Mathematics and Computational 

Science 

3. Arts and Humanities (English, 

Filipino, Creative and Performing 

Arts) 

4. Social Sciences (Social Studies, 

Christian Life, and Foreign 

Languages/Cultures) 

5. Business and Trades (replacing 

the traditional Technology and 

Home Economics program) 

The refined curriculum for 

implementation in SY 2012-2013, 

emphasized content and performance 

standards to reflect degrees of 

proficiency and mastery of knowledge, 

skills, and values. In addition, the unit 

will use a trimester calendar with a 

rationalized assessment scheme using 

varied authentic and alternative 

assessment tools and processes. 

To complement e-learning, the High 

School Library Media Center (LMC) 

developed the Web Assist program, a 

free on-line pathfinder for High School 

students and teachers for relevant and 

authentic discipline-based data 

access, retrieval, and management. 

The system allows the facilitation 

of on-line services with the High

School LMC such as librarian consultation, 

room reservations, access to other 

online resources, and book requests. 

MC-Southeast Asian Institute for the 

Deaf (MC-SAID) 

Effective this year, the MC-SAID 

mainstreamed its pre-school students 

in Child Study Center classes . Five 

Nursery and two Kinder MC-SAID 

students attended CSC Arts and Play 

classes and participated in the “100 

Days of School” activity. To prepare 

the CSC teachers for the inclusion of 

deaf children in their classes, an 

orientation was conducted by MC- 

SAID administrators for concerned 

teachers from both units including the 

students. The experience allowed 

the deaf students to gain new friends 

and develop their self-esteem while 

the hearing students of CSC had a 

chance to communicate with their 

deaf counterparts. Both groups were 

very welcoming and understanding of 

each other. 

To maximize the students’ potential 

for learning, facilities were upgraded 

in partnership with the Parent-Teacher 

of the Deaf Action Group (PTDAG). 

Multi-media equipment were installed 

in all classrooms and special learning 

centers such as the Activity Room for 

the Preschool, Speech Room, Library 

and two Audio Visual Rooms. Each 

set of equipment consisted of a 24inch 

LCD TV and an HDMI-capable 

DVD player, providing more visually 

stimulating presentations for effective 

teaching and learning.

Miriam Adult Education (MAE) 

MAE was absorbed into the Basic 

Education Unit this school year. With 

this development, it implemented 

new standards in line with the other 

units. The retention grade for high 

school and the grading system in 

elementary and high school as well 

as some processes and systems were 

adjusted in an effort to harmonize the 

different areas of the BEU. The Library 

Media Center of the other Basic 

Education Units were also opened to 

MAE teachers. 

MAE opened its Technical Vocational 

program to deaf students in June 

2011. The first batch, composed 

of five students, was selected and 

screened by the MC-SAID and its partner 

organization, LINK Center for the Deaf. 

These students were from urban

and passed the national assessment 

conducted by Technical Education and 

Skills Development Authority (TESDA) 

in March 2012. All MAE students who 

took the TESDA national assessment 

passed and were awarded with 

National Certificate Level II or Certificate 

of Competency. 

Networking efforts continue, helping 

keep MAE relevant to its publics. 

This year, MAE renewed its membership 

in the Technical Vocational Schools 

Association of the Philippines (TeVSAPhil) 

and the Philippine Society of Certified 

TESDA Assessors and Trainers (PhilSCAT). 

Higher Education Unit Highlights 

Level IV Accredited Status 

Miriam College is proud to have 

received Level IV accreditation status this 

year from the Federation of Accrediting 

Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) for 

the Child Development and Education, 

Environmental Planning and 

Management, and Psychology 

programs. The status was granted 

based on the accomplishments of 

Miriam College in the areas 

of Research, Teaching and Learning 

Process, Community Service, Linkages, 

and Quality Assurance Mechanism. 

Open/Distance Education 

Efforts were intensified towards further 

enhancements in the Higher Education 

Unit’s Open/Distance Learning. A 

program director, Dr. Maria Lourdes 

Q. Baybay, was appointed to oversee 

the development and promote more 

dynamic and innovative learning in this 

area. Through the Information and 

Communications Technology Office, 

the Miriam College E-Learning System 

was upgraded to Moodle 2.0.1 

platform this year. 

College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) 

Enhancements in the curriculum was 

set in place this year. A higher passing

ate of 70% in the Math subtest inthe 

College entrance examination was 

imposed. To strengthen the school’s 

core values, and interest in leadership 

and volunteerism, Miriam College 

101 and 102 subjects were developed 

and introduced. To better prepare 

the students for their practicum in a 

clinical and/or industrial setting, Basic 

Psychotherapeutic Interventions and 

Human Resources Management are 

now required major subjects in the BA 

Psychology program. The BS Psychology 

program, a pre-Medicine course, 

was beefed up with subjects that are 

not required in other schools. These 

subjects include Human Anatomy and 

Physiology, and Cell and Molecular 

Biology. 

This year, the CAS started to offer 

a Certificate Program in Gerontology 

to provide health care practitioners, 

pastoral workers and senior citizens 

with preliminary scientific and 

multidisciplinary perspective in the 

field. Considered an innovation, 

the program aims to provide 

understanding and practical 

knowledge in helping the elderly 

become more aware of their own 

personal processes, to better deal 

with stressors common in later life, 

and become proactive in ensuring 

successful aging. 

A new subject, Global Communication, 

was developed to further enhance 

English competency among students 

and help them towards career-building. 

The course is a modification of the 

Advance English Pre-employment 

Training or AdEPT, developed by the 

Business Processing Association of the 

Philippines (BPAP). The school 

partnered with BPAP to undergo training 

in the delivery of the program and 

future accreditation as a training 

center for AdEPT. Faculty members 

were tapped to participate in the 

training course to be certified trainers. 

New partnerships were forged in 

support of the curriculum. 

The CAS hosted on campus the very 

first International University Theater 

Association Conference (IUTA) held on 

MC, through the College of Arts and Sciences hosted the International University Theater 

Association Conference (IUTA) which brought together university-based theater experts from 

countries such as Belgium, France, Germany, Mexico and the United States. 

July 18 to 20, 2011. The conference 

theme was, “Strengthening University 

Theater: Cultural Traditions Enriching 

Contemporary Theater.” The activity 

was a major component of the school’s 

85th anniversary celebration . ( Please 

see more details in the special section 

on the school’s 85th anniversary on 

pages 32-33). 

The College, through the Applied 

Arts program, signed an agreement 

with Srinakharinwirot University in 

Bangkok, Thailand, this year. This 

new partnership involves student and 

faculty exchange and joint research 

initiatives, among others. 

College of Business, Entrepreneurship 

and Accountancy (CBEA) 

The different offerings under CBEA 

were updated, revised and enhanced. 

Examples of these include the 

introduction of new and more 

relevant courses in the Leisure and 

Tourism Management program, i.e. 

Tourism Impact and Sustainability, 

Business Statistics and Total Quality 

Management. New courses were also 

included in the BS Accountancy program 

such as Conceptual Framework 

and Accounting Standards. Business 

Statistics is also now part of of the BS 

Entrepreneurship/BS Entrepreneurship 

major in Culinary Arts programs. 

Resequencing of subjects and revision 

of course titles as well as adjustments in 

the assignment of units in some subjects 

were also implemented this year to 

further strengthen the curriculum. 

This year, CBEA developed the 

Accounting Technology program, 

a four-year non-board examination 

program based on the Commission 

on Higher Education (CHED) policies 

and standards. Qualified students 

have the option to pursue the degree 

program. It will be offered in SY 2012- 

2013. 

Close mentoring of students and 

efforts on academic enhancements 

continue in order to strengthen the 

school’s BS Accountancy program and 

ensure good performance in the CPA 

Board Examination. 

CBEA’s long-time partners SyCip 

Gorres Velayo & Co., Punongbayan 

& Araullo, Alba Romeo & Co., IBM 

Philippines, and Robinson’s Land 

among others, recognize the 

competence and values-oriented 

character demonstrated by Miriam 

College students in the formal work 

environment during their on-thejob 

training program. Many of the 

students are eventually absorbed into 

these companies after graduation and 

continue to perform well. Adding to the 

roster of established companies who 

have partnered with CBEA are Airphil 

Express, Delta Air, Le Soleil de Boracay 

Hotel, and Rembrandt Hotel. 

College of Education (CEd) 

The College of Education earned a 

100% passing rate in the Licensure 

Examinations for Guidance Counselors 

this year. It also continues to boast of 


13


14 

its consistent 100% passing rate in the 

Licensure Examination for Teachers 

(LET) for the BS Child Development 

and Education graduates. 

The CDE program ensures the holistic 

training of its students through 

partnerships with the Ateneo Grade 

School, Alternative Learning Resource 

School Philippines, Eucharistiana 

Center for Special Children, and Laro, 

Lapis at Libro Transition School. It has 

also partnered with the Child Study 

Center and Grade School. To further 

expose its graduating students to 

non-traditional preschool settings, a 

student volunteer program has been 

initiated. Under the program, students 

immerse in The British School Manila, 

Summit School, Creative Children 

Learning Center, and The Raya School 

during their semestral break. 

The Child Development and Education 

Circle, the co-curricular arm of the 

CDE program, with the department, 

also offers seminars and training sessions 

to keep students abreast with current 

issues and trends in the field of education. 

LET-takers who are deaf, however, 

continue to be at a disadvantage. To 

address this concern, the College initiated 

meetings with the Professional 

Regulation Commission (PRC) to 

review the type of evaluation tools 

used to assess the competencies of 

would-be deaf teachers. To date, 

more discussions at various levels are 

expected with the hope of providing a 

more appropriate and fair assessment 

for deaf individuals aspiring for the 

Licensure. 

Recognizing the deaf’s special needs, 

the College of Education developed 

a modified Special Education (SPED) 

comprehensive examination for the 

Masteral level for deaf students. This 

practical, skills-based approach delivered 

positive results on its first year of 

implementation. 

A Certificate in Special Education was 

also offered in SY 2012-2013. The 

program is composed of courses from 

the Master of Arts in Education, and 

Master in Education major in Special 

Education programs designed to meet 

current market demands. 

College of International, Humanitarian 

and Development Studies (CIHDS) 

For the past 16 years, International 

Studies students have been participating 

in the Model United Nations of the Far 

West (MUNFW) as part of the program 

curriculum. Miriam College students 

have been consistently awarded the 

Certificate of Achievement in the art 

and practice of Diplomacy for having 

demonstrated excellence in academic 

achievement, diplomatic skills, depth 

of knowledge, understanding and 

cooperation during their participation 

in the activity. This is a result of the 

Through partnerships with schools like the Nest School for Whole Child Development Inc., 

CEd students become volunteer teachers and are able to put their knowledge into practice. 

rigorous training by the department in 

prepearation for the conference. The 

61 st Session of the MUNFW, held in 

April 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel 

in San Francisco, California, USA, 

was attended by about 600 students 

coming from more than 30 American 

colleges and universities. This year’s 

theme was “People on the Move: 

Urbanization, Migration and Forced 

Displacement”. 

The Migration Studies program, in 

collaboration with Miriam College- 

Women and Gender Institute (MC- 

WAGI), convened a number of 

fora and lectures to deliberate 

current migration concerns and 

issues such as the following:“Laban 

Kontra Human Trafficking, Laban 

Nating Lahat!”, “Bagong Bayani 

Discourse: Construction of Filipino 

Migrant Workers and Overseas 

Employment Policies”, and Filipino 

Women Migrant Health Workers 

Composing their Lives.” These 

lectures were attended by students 

and representatives of government 

agencies such as the Philippine 

Senate, House of Representatives 

Committee on Overseas Workers 

Affairs, Department of Labor and 

Employment-Institute of Labor 

Studies (DOLE-ILS), Overseas Workers 

Welfare Administration (OWWA), 

National Statistics Office (NSO) and 

the Philippine Overseas Employment 

Administration (POEA); nongovernment 

organizations such as 

Development Alternatives with 

Women for a New Era (DAWN), 

Women’s Legal Bureau (WLB), Migrant 

Forum in Asia (MFA); and international 

organization such as the United Nations 

Children’s Fund (UNICEF). 

The enhanced Social Work program, 

launched in 2008, continues to attract 

students into its two tracks namely, 

Humanitarian Affairs and Corporate 

Social Work. This year, the program 

offered its first International Field 

Placement. Naw Phaw Wah (supported 

by Thabyay Foundation), a Burmese 

national and the first graduate of 

the enhanced Social Work Program, 

availed of this opportunity by

conducting her field work and working 

with abandoned Burmese children 

along the Thai-Burma border. A minor 

in Social Work is also offered to Child 

Development and Education 

undergraduates who want to pursue 

careers in the area of social development. 

Enrollment also continues in the 

Social Work Professional program for 

individuals already immersed in the 

field but have yet to earn their degree 

in the program. The school sees the 

Social Work program as relevant and, 

at the same time, viable vis-á-vis its 

mission and vision, and the needs of 

communities and societies today. 

The 3rd Annual Summer Executive 

Course on International and National 

Humanitarian Systems was held in 

May 2011, providing participants 

with core knowledge and updated 

information in the area of disaster risk 

preparedness and response. Attended 

by representatives from academic 

institutions, religious groups, NGOs, 

corporate foundations and local 

governments, the course focused on 

the following topics: Climate Change 

Impact on Livelihood Production, 

Earthquake Impact Reduction Study 

for Metropolitan Manila, Humanitarian 

Standards and Principles in DRRM, 

Salient Provisions of the Philippine 

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management 

Act of 2010 (PDRRM Act of 2010) and 

Engendering Disaster Management 

Approaches and Responses. 

New Institutional Scholarship and Aid 

Program (ISAP) 

As a result of an institution-wide 

review of scholarship programs, the 

new Institutional Scholarship and Aid 

Program (ISAP) was drawn up to 

integrate all existing forms of scholarship 

and aid provided by the school’s 

academic units, offices, and advocacy 

centers under a philosophy of 

democratizing access to MC programs 

and promoting quality and diversity. 

An institutional Scholarship Committee 

was formed headed by the Vice President 

for Academic Affairs. 

This year, the amount raised for the 

Endowment Fund has reached PhP 

81 million against the PhP 75 million 

target set on the school’s 75th 

anniversary. The Fund is a supplement 

to the school’s overall scholarship 

program for students as well as for 

faculty development initiatives. General 

guidelines were established on the 

utilization of the fund, giving equal 

emphasis to academic excellence while 

responding to financial need. 

The Research and Publications Management Office (RPMO), headed by Dr. Jose Reuben 

Alagaran (above), laid out its agenda for Miriam College and held workshops and seminars to 

encourage a culture of research among the faculty and members of the community. 

Revitalized Research Culture 

Several initiatives were undertaken 

through the Research and Publications 

Management Office (RPMO) to 

encourage a vibrant research culture 

in Miriam College. The outcome of 

the summer Institutional Research 

Agenda Workshop was a five-year 

institutional Research Agenda (2011- 

2015). For the years 2011-2012, the 

research agenda focused on the 

following areas: impact assessment of 

advocacy center programs; studies on 

quality and standards of MC education; 

institutional development and graduate 

tracer studies; technology and 

education; and disaster mitigation and 

management studies. 

Coordination between the RPMO 

and units/centers was enhanced 

through strategic planning sessions 

for the design of unit-level research 

agenda. Research Committees were 

formed in the Higher Education and 

Basic Education units while the RPMO 

closely monitored research activities 

of the different units/centers. 

This year, the Research Grants Program, 

which is internally-funded, was 

launched in support of research initiatives 

of faculty and other employees. 

Guidelines for submission and 

instruments for evaluation were 

developed together with attractive 

incentives to motivate more groups 

and individuals to conduct research 

projects. The first grantees were 

teachers from the Child Study Center, 

Grade School and High School, who 

conducted studies on best practices in 

the BEU: “Best Practices in Teaching 

Science and Mathematics at the Child 

Study Center”; “Miriam College Grade 

School Students’ Perception of the 

Best Practices in Teaching Math and 

Science”; and “Best Practices in Teaching 

and Learning Mathematics and 

Science at Miriam College High 

School”. 

In the HEU, these research projects include 

“Social Networking Site Use and 


15


16 

Behavior, Self-Esteem and Online 

Identity of MC Undergraduate Students,” 

“Research-Based Marketing Plan for 

MC HEU,” “ Perception and Attitudes 

of CEd Students Toward Service Learning,” 

and “Predictors of Good Performance 

in the CPA Licensure Examination of 

MC Graduates.” These papers were 

read during the First Institutional 

Research Colloquium where faculty 

members across the different academic 

units actively participated. 

Practical seminars and capabilitybuilding 

activities were conducted by 

the RPMO for faculty and other 

employees such as the following: 

“Putting MC in the Global Map: Why 

Publish in ISI and SCOPUS Journals?”; 

“Stories Do Matter: Seminar on 

Conducting Qualitative Research”; 

and “Keeping Up with Numbers: 

Seminar on Conducting Quantitative 

Research”. 

Partnerships with the Commission 

on Higher Education and the 

Consortium on Women’s Colleges 

(CWC) on research initiatives continue 

and more organized link-ups with 

other research organizations, both 

locally and internationally, were 

established. These organizations 

included Philippines Communication 

Society, Philippine Social Science 

Council, Asian Institute of Journalism 

and Communication, International 

Federation of Catholic Universities 

(IFCU), and Sidi Mohammed Ben 

Abdellah University in Fez, Morocco 

Miriam Advocacy Centers (MACs) 

Aside from ensuring the internalization 

of the school’s core values by the 

members of the community, the 

Miriam Advocacy Centers continue 

to create impact externally, both at 

the national and international levels, 

through active engagement in major 

institutions and networks, providing 

training/lectures, undertaking 

research, and organizing mobilization 

initiatives, among other advocacy 

work. 

Center for Peace Education (CPE) 

The CPE continues to deliver Peace 

Education and Conflict Resolution 

training to faculty and students across 

units, and at the same time provided 

leadership in implementing the 

Catholic Educational Association of the 

Philippines (CEAP) Peace Education 

Thrust. The CPE Executive Director, 

Dr. Loreta Castro, and Associate 

Director, Dr. Jasmin Galace, served 

as resource persons at the National 

Convention and some regional 

assemblies and fora of the CEAP. Dr. 

Galace was appointed Chairperson of 

the CEAP Committee on Justice and 

Peace Education. Given this capacity, she 

visited schools and gave talks to parents, 

faculty and students on peace topics 

such as challenging bullying and nonviolent 

communication. 

The CPE was at the forefront 

of lobbying and campaigning efforts 

towards the support for a strong 

Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in the 

Philippines, calling for an ATT that will 

make sure that transfer of arms will 

not be used to commit human rights 

violations, armed violence, including 

sex and gender-based violence and 

will not hamper the States’ efforts at 

poverty reduction and sustainable 

development. It is desired that the 

campaign will ensure a treaty that will 

regulate trading of all conventional 

weapons including small arms and 

light weapons and ammunition. This 

will culminate in the handing over 

by the CPE Associate Director of the 

global peoples’ petition for a strong 

ATT to United Nations Secretary General 

Ban Ki-moon at the UN office in New 

York. 

Among the Center’s continuing activities 

are capacity-building workshops on 

Integrating Peace Education into the 

Teacher Education Curriculum for various 

schools and groups, including colleges 

of education. They also continue to 

give workshops on Interfaith Peacebuilding 

for Muslim and Christian 

youth. 

Workshops on the National Action Plan 

for the Implementation of UNSCR 

1325 (UN Security Council Resolution 

1325 on Women, Peace and Security) 

were also conducted for the Armed 

Forces of the Philippines (AFP), 

Philippine National Police (PNO), UN 

Peacekeepers, local government units, 

civil society organizations, among 

others. 

The CPE also coordinated the publication 

of a book documenting the initiatives 

of the WE Act 1325 Network (Women 

Engaged in Action for UNSCR 1325), in 

cooperation with the Global Network 

of Women Peacebuilders. 

The Center for Peace Education conducts capacity-building workshops for different organizations 

and institutions all over the Philippines.

Environmental Studies Institute 

Through a formal agreement with the 

Quezon City (QC) Government, the 

Environmental Studies Institute (ESI) 

was commissioned to conduct the 

project, “Capacity-building for 

Community-based Participation in 

Environmental Management and 

Disaster Risk Reduction” for barangay 

officials of Quezon City. Training 

modules designed by the ESI to fit the 

needs of the communities include the 

following: Green Cities/Environmental 

Principles, Environmental Management 

and Policy, Community-Based Disaster 

Risk Management, Community- Based 

Environmental and Disaster Risk 

Management and Action Planning. 

The QC Government screened 

particpants as well as provided 

technical and administrative support 

for the project. The project commenced 

this year and will have trained at 

least 400 participants from Quezon City 

barangays at its completion. 

The ESI, in cooperation with faculty 

members from the Grade School, 

produced Lesson Exemplars on 

Climate Change in support of the 

Department of Education’s initiative 

to integrate Climate Change into the 

elementary curriculum. The modules 

defined the objectives, core messages, 

and key concepts for each subtopic. 

It also provided learning activities for 

each academic subject: Math, Science, 

English, Filipino, Home Economics and 

Livelihood Education (HELE) and 

Technology and Livelihood Education 

(TLE), Music, Art, PE and Health 

(MAPEH), History, and Values Education. 

The Southern Sierra Madre Wildlife 

Center (SSMWC) reforestation and 

scholarships project continues. 

The project aims to create a sustainable 

and replicable wildlife conservation 

model that will serve as a window 

to the Sierra Madre Mountains, and 

to develop a site for academic and 

environmental outreach programs, 

which will also serve as venue for 

constituency-building for sustainable 

ESI-produced publications serve as valuable references for both the school and the community. 

development. Miriam College has a 

25-year contact with the Department 

of Environment and Natural Resources 

(DENR) to co-manage 180 hectares of 

land within the Kaliwa Watershed in 

Baranay Laiban, Tanay, Rizal. The project 

involves protection of natural habitats, 

ecohistorical tourism, agroforestry, 

and community education. These 

programs are being implemented 

in the context of increasing the 

capacities of host communities, 

specifically the upland farmers and 

indigenous peoples. 

One of the components of the project 

is a scholarship program, which began 

in 2005. The program maintains 

about 30 scholars a year, who receive 

monthly allowances, school supplies 

and uniforms from the school. Three 

college students, eight high school 

and 33 elementary students have 

graduated under the program. Under 

the reforestation component of the 

SSMWC , a total of 19 hectares have 

been reforested with indigenous tree 

species and fruit trees by means of 

rainforestation and assisted natural 

regeneration. Community activities are 

also regularly conducted in the area 

such as immersions and project 

implementation in collaboration 

with the National Service Training 

Program (NSTP) and through the 

school’s volunteer and capabilitybuilding 

programs: Gurong Lingkod, 

which provides numeracy and literacy 

training for the community as well 

as engages them in athletics through 

sports clinics; and Lingap Bulilit, which 

increases the teaching capacity of day 

care teachers and volunteer teacherparents. 

Several researches have 

been undertaken by students and 

faculty of the Environmental Planning 

Management course and by other 

departments as well. 

On the on-going reforestation project 

at the Biak-na-Bato National Park, a 

protected area in San Miguel Bulacan, 

the ESI, together with some volunteers 

and the community partner, SAMAKABA 

Inc., conducted tree monitoring and 

inventory activities. Records have 

shown 0% casualty of seedlings after 

several planting activities as constant 

monitoring of trees continues to 

ensure the complete reforestation of 

the Biak-na-Bato National Park. Miriam 

College also conducts activities in 

the community that complement the 

reforestation project including the 

annual Christmas outreach program, 

where gifts donated by students and 

employees of the school are also 

distributed by school volunteers. 

Institutional Network for Social Action 

The Institutional Network for Social 

Action (INSA) developed a more 

intensified and systematic 

implementation of Service Learning 

and capacity-building programs to 


17


18 

create greater impact on the 

development of partner communities 

and organizations. This year, 47 Service 

Learning projects were implemented 

across units, such as Communication, 

Child Development and Education, 

International Studies, Social Work, 

Theology, English, and Filipino in the 

Higher Education Unit, and in the 

different Basic Education units. These 

activities integrate theories and concepts 

learned in the classroom as they 

address some concerns expressed by 

the communities. Capability-building 

seminars for INSA partners, Kaisahang 

Ugnayan ng Mamamayan (KUM) and 

the Sining Kabataan Alay sa Pamayanan 

(SIKAP), were conducted this year 

with topics on organizational and 

leadership development. 

Through the years, INSA has been 

recognized by the Quezon City 

government as a committed partner 

in its major service programs. This 

year, INSA implemented the project, 

“Harnessing Capacities and Resources 

towards Child-Friendly Initiatives”, 

which involved the Barangay Council 

for the Protection of Children (BCPC) 

in crafting the Child Protection Protocol. 

A pool of youth facilitators of partner 

NGOs and People’s Organizations(POs) 

were formed and trained in this area. 

The school also assisted Barangay 

Loyola Heights in its first Children’s 

Day celebration. On August 21, 

2011, Miriam College, through INSA, 

entered into a Covenant for a Child- 

Friendly QC with the Quezon City 

Government and other stakeholders. 

It held consultations with 142 barangays 

in building a Child-Friendly Movement in 

Quezon City. It conducted the “Early 

Detection of Children with Special 

Needs” project in partnership with 

the SpEd department of the College 

of Education, Alternative Learning 

Resource School-Phils (ALRES) and 

Barangay Loyola Heights as part of its 

Child-Friendly campaign. 

This school year, INSA mobilized 

student volunteers to form part of its 

quick response team for various 

initiatives such as the Typhoon Sendong 

Relief Drive. Close to 100 student 

volunteers from the HEU participated 

in the different INSA programs while 

over 200 volunteers from across units 

and groups paticipated in the Gawad 

Kalinga project nationwide. This year, 

99 teachers from the different units 

participated in the school’s Gurong 

Lingkod program, wherein they were 

assigned as volunteer teachers in MC’s 

partner communities and organizations 

around the country. Now on its 8th 

year, the Miriam Volunteer Mission 

program continues to provide 

volunteering opportunities to new 

college graduates, deploying them

Women and Gender Institute 

A flagship service to the institution, 

the Women and Gender Institute 

(WAGI) regularly conducts the Gender 

Fair Education Program for faculty in 

all units to ensure that gender fair 

values are integrated into the learning 

and teaching in the classroom. WAGI 

is constantly tapped by external 

publics, particularly schools, local 

government units (LGUs), and key 

government agencies, to provide this 

program. Among groups given Gender 

Fair training this year were the Gender 

and Development (GAD) Focal Points 

of the Department of Foreign Affairs, 

Marikina Local Government, Department 

of Education-Marikina, National Meat 

Inspection Service, and the Philippine 

Overseas Employment Administration 

(POEA). 

On research and publication initiatives, 

WAGI conducted a Philippine study 

as part of a three-country research 

endeavor, “Valuing the Social Cost 

Migration in Three Countries 

(Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia)” 

supported by UNIFEM New York. The 

research output was presented in 

a public consultation in June 2011, 

which was attended by representatives 

of various government agencies, 

international development 

organizations, and non-governmental 

organizations including the POEA, 

National Economic and Development 

Authority (NEDA), House of 

Representatives, Department of Social 

Welfare and Development, UNICEF, 

UN Women Philippines, and UNDP, 

and from the academe and civil society 

organizations. 

In celebration of the women’s month, 

WAGI launched this year’s issue of 

Quilted Sightings, an interdisciplinary 

journal that reflects Miriam College’s 

commitment to the advancement of 

women’s studies and promotion of 

gender-fair education in the 

Philippines. This year’s issue is in

line with three milestone events: the 

10 th anniversary of the Women and 

Gender Institute, the 85 th anniversary 

of the Maryknoll/Miriam College 

as an educational institution and 

the Centennial of the Maryknoll 

Sisters in 2012. The journal features 

articles that particularly address 

contemporary dynamics of patriarchy 

and how it is aggravated by economic 

globalization, neo-conservative 

backlash, and the rise of militarism in 

the Asia Pacific region. 

The annual Young Women Leaders 

Conference (YWLC) held in September 

2011 was attended by over a hundred 

young women leaders from different 

colleges and universities in Metro 

Manila including the Far Eastern 

University, Lyceum College, Philippine 

Women’s University, St. Paul, University 

Manila, and the University of Sto. 

Tomas. The theme of this year’s 

conference was “Economic 

Empowerment Matters to Young 

Women”. 

Through WAGI’s Young Women 

Leadership Program, the yearly 

leadership training for Miriam College 

Council of Leaders, was conducted. 

Participants were composed of officers 

of the first to fourth year councils and 

the different co-curricular and extracurricular 

student organizations. This 

year’s training focused on the need to 

scrutinize various issues from a feminist 

perspective and to provide gender 

responsive solutions and strategies 

under the concept of transformative 

feminist leadership. The program is 

part of Miriam College’s formation of 

student women leaders in service. 

Led by the Commission on Higher 

Education, WAGI co-convened the 

first ever higher education summit on 

gender issues together with St. 

Scholastica’s College Institute for 

Women’s Studies and the UP Center 

for Women’s Studies. The summit 

gathered together the presidents 

and GAD focal points of 110 

State Universities and about 150 

heads of private higher education 

institutions. As the first ever gathering 

of its kind, the summit aimed to provide 

a situationer on the awareness and 

good practices in school policies, 

curriculum and research development, 

programs and services in relation 

to gender and development. It also 

served as a venue to reiterate the 

importance of higher education in 

capacity-building and empowerment 

of women. At the end of the summit, 

participants pledged committment to 

a medium term action plan that was 

drafted as outcome of the event. 

Growth, Upgrading and Resource 

Office (GURO): MC Teacher Institute 

Effective this school year, the Growth, 

Upgrading and Resource Office 

(GURO) and Lingap Bulilit, were 

merged into one office, making Lingap 

Bulilit a core program of GURO. Lingap 

Bulilit is Miriam College’s trailblazing 

program on building and upgrading 

the capabilities of day care teachers 

and volunteers through teacher-training 

and mentoring. 

Over the years, GURO and Lingap 

Bulilit have trained a total of 13,379 

professional teachers and 2,559 day 

care teachers from across the country 

including cities in Metro Manila (Quezon 

City, Pasig, Valenzuela, San Juan, 

Malabon and Manila), and provinces 

such as Aurora, Pangasinan , Butuan 

and Nueva Ecija, Cagayan Valley, 

Baguio, Cavite, Sorsogon, Batangas, 

Rizal, Laguna, Northern Samar and 

Davao, among others.

Miriam College has been recognized 

as a Center of Training by the 

Department of Education, an honor 

accorded to only 82 out of more 

than a thousand teacher education 

institutions in the country. GURO is 

also considered as one of the leaders 

in teacher-training and is often tapped 

by local government units and nongovernment 

organizations for its 

services. 

With teacher-training being a flagship 

area of the school, intrest among 

teachers in the different units to 

volunteer as facilitators for seminars 

has been increasing. 

GURO also continues to build its 

partnerships with a number of 

institutions, organizations and networks. 

Linkages with the Association of 

Private School Administrators, LGUs, 

and civic organizations such as the 

International Container Terminal

pre-academic program for college 

students designed to develop and 

strengthen fundamental English 

language skills among both Filipino 

and non-English speaking foreign 

students enrolled in the undergraduate

Vibrant Community Life 

Institutional traditions remain a 

source of positive community spirit 

for a lively campus life. This year’s 

BIGKIS, the annual institution-wide 

community-building activity, featured 

two stand up comedians playing host 

to the community. Titled “MC Goes 

Massive on Comedy”, the show was 

a relaxing, laughter-filled treat for 

employees from across all units. 

Every year, members of the community 

remember departed loved ones, family 

members, friends and dear Maryknoll 

Sisters, in prayer in the institutional 

Mass of the Resurrection. 

Christmas rituals, beginning with the 

Advent Season, provide a time of 

reflection on God’s faithful love and 

the blessings we have received as 

individuals and as a community. The 

traditional Lighting of the Advent Star 

led by the Miriam Adult Education 

and the MC-Southeast Asian Institute 

for the Deaf bring solemnity into the 

joyful Christmas spirit. On its 9th 

year, Payapang Daigdig was staged 

with the theme “Pasko ng Pagsilang,” 

featuring student and employee 

choirs from the different units, 

Dr. Francis Julius N. Evangelista 

Associate Dean for Academic Support 

Services 

culminating in a grand performance 

by all participating groups with the 

Metro Manila Concert Orchestra, 

the school’s orchestra-in-residence, 

housed at the Music Center. This 

yearly school Christmas concert is 

dedicated to partners and benefactors 

who have supported Miriam College 

in its efforts towards achieving its 

mission and goals. 

The entire community participated in 

the “Panunuluyan,” the re-enactment 

of the Holy Family’s search for a place 

to stay on the eve of Jesus’ birth. The 

ritual offered members of the community 

an opportunity to share cash gifts 

to the Child Jesus, to benefit special 

outreach programs of the school. This 

year, the cash donations were given 

to the school’s scholarship fund for 

Miriam College students and for the 

Maryknoll Centennial apostolate. 

On the occasion of the school’s 85th 

anniversary, an institutional celebration 

was held in lieu of unit-based parties, 

bringing the community closer 

through fun games and an enjoyable 

program. 

The institution continues to honor its 

employees for their committed service 

to the school through the yearly Service 

Awards for employees who have 

served the school for at least 5 years. 

Ninety three employees were given 

recognition this year. Ms. Ma. Teresa 

Oliva of the Environmental Studies 

Institute was the awardee with the 

most number of years in Miriam 

College at 35 years while the response 

from the awardees was delivered by 

Ms. Christina Lecaroz, awardee of 10 

years, from the President’s Office. 

This year’s special gathering for retirees, 

“Isang Paglalakbay”, honored six retirees: 

Ms. Leonila Diaz, Ms. Rita Dantes of 

the General Administration, Ms. Lydia 

Ferrer of MC-SAID, Ms. Janet Olivar 

of MAE, Ms. Cynthia Reynera of the 

Grade School and Ms. Ma. Rosario 

Neri of the High School. 

The institution ensures that retiring 

employees are prepared for this new 

phase in their lives through a 

comprehensive pre-retirement 

program. The program provides them 

with financial planning lessons and sessions 

to help identify address personal 

retirement concerns. This year’s 

retirees joined a recreational off-campus 

activity sponsored by the school. 

Miriam Spirituality 

The Miriam Identity, Spirituality and 

Mission Office (MISMO) guides the 

institution’s spiritual formation in 

coordination with the unit Campus 

Ministry Offices. Student and 

employee retreats and recollections 

follow a five-year spirituality 

development program (2007-2011) 

which focused on the theme, 

“Spreading the Promotion of the 

Miriam Spirituality Across the Units” 

designed in consultation with the 

Maryknoll Sisters. 

The coordination of all employee 

retreats was centralized at the MISMO 

through the unit Campus Ministry 

Offices to institutionalize best practices 

in the units. Observance of religious 

practices are also led by MISMO such 

as the observance of the Feast of the 

Immaculate Conception, wherein unitbased 

Eucharistic celebrations were

offered followed by various activities 

honoring the Blessed Mother. 

A Eucharistic celebration on the Nativity 

of Mary presided by Father James 

Ferry, MM was held on September 

8, 2011, commemorating Miriam 

College’s founding by the Maryknoll 

Sisters. The season of Lent was 

observed with the annual institutional 

Way of the Cross and a Lenten 

reflection day with the theme, 

“Encountering Jesus’ Mission: 

Understanding our own Mission”. 

After the observance of Holy Week, an 

Easter Mass is celebrated to 

commemorate the joy of the Risen 

Christ. 

Work-life Balance 

The Integrated Lifestyle and Wellness 

(ILAW) Center provides varied 

programs, services, and opportunities 

to enhance the lifelong health and 

wellness of the Miriam College 

community. The ILAW Center 

promotes the overall wellness of 

individuals through lectures and 

seminars on health and wellness, 

counseling services, physical fitness 

activities, and therapeutic massage 

services. 

The Center houses a gym for 

cardiovascular conditioning, which is 

open to the public for a minimal fee. 

A gym instructor is always present to 

help gym-goers with their customized 

training programs. Reasonably-priced 

therapeutic massage and foot 

reflexology services are also patronized 

by employees on days they feel 

stressed. Multi-functional rooms, 

including a videoke room, are also 

available for different activities. This 

year, more schedules were opened to 

accommodate the increasing number 

of regular attendees of the Center’s 

Zumba fitness program. Zumba, 

which uses Latin dance movements 

that create a dynamic, exciting and 

The Latin-inspired dance fitness Zumba remains to be a favorite workout among employees 

and is held thrice a week. 

Institutional traditions, such as the celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 

strengthen the schools sense of community and spirituality. 

effective fitness system, was an 

instant hit among employees, whether 

natural dancers or not! Because these 

Zumba classes were in high demand, 

special sessions were also offered at 

the different departments and units. 

Seminars and lectures offered this 

year included topics from skin care 

to surviving cancer. ILAW conducted 

interactive workshops on professional 

image enhancement, and make-up 

sessions. These seminars and workshops 

are conducted over lunch with healthy 

meals served for free. Complete 

wellness screenings were also 

conducted through partnerships with 

major healthcare providers. 

On its third year, the ILAW Center 

organized the Biggest Loser Contest, 

patterned after the foreign reality TV 

show featuring overweight individuals 

in an extremely challenging competition 

to lose weight. Miriam College 

employees attempted to lose 

unnecessary body fat to achieve 

physical fitness and eventually, holistic 

health. This year, participants were 

formed in dyads, posing a new challenge. 

Customized programs for each 

participant consisting of various 

cardiovascular exercises, resistance

training, nutrition, and supplementation 

were provided, on which points in the 

competition were based. Participants 

seriously engaged in their respective 

programs, supporting their partners, 

in what turned to be a highly competitive 

contest. Partners Modesto Javier 

and Leah Zarina Guverra of the High 

School, Villeva Sanchez and Mary Jane 

Lagrimas of the Accounting Office, and 

Emmanuel John Villar and Jonathan 

Dineros of the ICT Office came out as 

the Biggest Loosers for winning first 

place, second place and third place, 

respectively. 

Promoting healthy activities among 

members of the community, the 

ILAW organized a walking exercise 

with the President dubbed, “Charito 

Walks with MC”. Several office staff 

members, faculty, and administrators 

enjoyed the walk around the green 

campus and the mini-workout session 

after, followed by the awarding of this 

year’s Biggest Looser winners. 

Think Safe! Building a Culture of 

Safety and Security 

In January 2012, the Office of the 

Vice President for Development and 

Resource Management (OVPDRM) 

spearheaded a campus-wide campaign 

to build a culture of safety and 

security among students, parents and 

employees. The aim is to develop in 

each person a sense of responsibility for 

ensuring their safety and security, and 

that of others. Giving emphasis to 

individual and collective awareness and 

action, the campaign, called “Think 

Safe”, promotes safety in various 

situations such as inclement weather, 

disasters, traffic, cyber exposure, 

among other threats. The initiative 

was launched with the distribution of 

whistles to students and employees to 

serve as both a symbol of the campaign 

and an instrument for alerting people 

during emergencies. 

Employee Benefits 

The Flexible Benefits or FLEXBEN 

program, which allows permanent 

employees to select the components 

of their benefits according to their 

needs (e.g. health insurance premium 

of dependents, increased PAG-IBIG 

contributions, gasoline allowance, and 

gadget acquisition, among others), is 

now on its second year of 

implementation. Added to previous 

benefits choices were School Tuition 

Fee, Medicine, Training, Travel 

Reimbursements, Medical Cash 

One of the first initiatives under the Think Safe Campaign was the distribution of whistles 

among employees and students accross all units. 

Reimbursement, Books and Office 

Supplies, and Memorial Plan. 

Employees who opted for this mode 

were very pleased with the flexibility 

in programming their benefits according 

to their personal priorities. From 60% 

of the total qualified employees who 

availed themselves of this program, 

77% are now enjoying the FLEXBEN. 

The Human Resources Division 

continues to find ways to further 

enhance and optimize this program. 

Through the HRD, the school 

establishes partnerships with housing 

developers for affordable housing and 

easy payment arrangements. The 

HRD provides assistance to employees 

on loan facilitation requirements. 

Avida Land Corporation, a subsidiary 

of Ayala Land is now among Miriam 

College’s partners joining Top Rank 

Realty Marketing Corporation, developer 

of LAROSSA in Capitol Hills, Quezon 

City; Phinma Properties for Sophia 

Bellevue also in Capitol Hills; SM 

Development Corporation for Berkeley 

Residences in Katipunan Avenue, 

Quezon City; Greenbrier Subdivision 

for Marigold Homes in San Mateo, 

Rizal. Avida Land Corporation offers 

special payment schemes for employees 

interested in building their homes in 

its affordable Avida Village and Avida 

Settings development project in 

Nuvali, Laguna. 

The Annual Physical Examination was 

upgraded this year to include additional 

tests such as Lipid Profile and Hepatitis 

Screening. The upgrade is in 

preparation for the age-appropriate 

medical examination requirements 

which will become the core of the 

APE. Through the HRD, the school 

also looks after the employees’ health 

by offering Pneumonia And Influenza 

vaccines at much lower prices through 

the HRD’s partnership with Healthway 

Medical. This offer is extended to 

family members of employees. 

A credit line facility with Mercury 

Drug is also now in place, which allows 

eligible employees to use this credit 

facility to purchase medicines.

The school continues to expand its 

laptop and gadget acquisition program 

through its partnerships with Power 

Mac Center and Acer Philippines. 

Employees have availed of various 

products under this program for their 

personal and professional use. 

Student Achievements 

Miriam College commits to developing 

its students to being the best they 

can be in their areas of interest. The 

students excell in different areas: 

academic, co-curricular and 

extra-curricular areas (please refer to

Employee Achievements 

The school takes pride in the 

achievements and leadership of its 

employees within internally and 

externally (please refer to page 49 for 

examples o f these). 

100 years of the Maryknoll Sisters 

The centennial celebration of the 

Maryknoll Sisters began this year with 

a solemn inaugural Eucharistic 

celebration on January 6, 2012 held 

at the Marian Auditorium. The 

centennial theme was “Making God’s 

Love Visible” to express the growing 

congregational consciousness of 

their place within and commitment 

to all of God’s creation. Attended by 

members of the school community, 

friends of the Maryknoll Sisters, and 

alumni, the event ushered in a yearlong 

celebration of the birth and 

life, and the impact of the Maryknoll 

Sisters on the communities it helped 

nurture and evangelize. The Maryknoll 

Sisters Congregation was founded by 

Mother Mary Joseph, who spoke of 

the Maryknoll Spirit as “a reflection 

of the love of God, nothing more nor 

less than that, a reflection of the love 

of God.” 

This celebration forms a significant 

part of Miriam College’s history, 

whose tradition emanates from the 

Maryknoll Sisters’ inspiring work and 

journey. Miriam College was founded 

by the Maryknoll Sisters in 1926, 

when the Archbishop of Manila, then 

Reverend Michael O’ Doherty, 

requested the Sisters of the Maryknoll 

Congregation in New York to initiate a 

teacher-training program for women 

in the Philippines. The Malabon 

Normal school was established in an 

old remodeled Augustinian Convent in 

Malabon, Rizal. The school moved to 

other sites several times until it finally 

settled in Loyola Heights, Quezon City 

in 1953 with the name Maryknoll 

College. Virtues and inpiring quotes 

and experiences of the Maryknoll 

Sisters were collected in a Centennial 

Ana Maria L. Carlos, Korina Sanchez, Ma Theresa Manahan-Jazmines, Marisa V. Marin, and 

Ana Marie Rilloraza-Leung (3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th from left, respectively) were all named 

Amazing Alumnae Achievers for 2011 and were honored at the Grand Alumni Homecoming. 

Pocket calendar produced with 

assistance from the External Affiars 

Office. The pages of the calendar 

included monthly reflections from the 

Sisters and members of the Miriam 

College community on Mother Mary 

Joseph’s qualities of a Maryknoll 

Sister and the Centennial Theme. 

The calendar was also a fundraiser in 

support of the Maryknoll Sisters. 

On campus, a Centennial Garden of 

Gratitude and Promise is being built 

in commemoration of the Maryknoll 

Sisters and will be launched at the 

culmination of the Jubilee in January 

2013. 

Coinciding with the Maryknoll Sisters’ 

100th year of founding, Sister Virginia 

Fabella, MM, celebrated her 60th 

anniversary in her religious life. Sister 

Virginia taught in Maryknoll College 

from 1958 to 1965 and continues to 

be present in the community. On 

March 16, 2012, the school gave Sister 

Virginia a special tribute, “Celebrating 

60 Years of Mission.” Colleagues from 

past and present affiliations shared 

testimonials of how Sister Virginia 

remained committed to her advocacy. 

Also in attendance were her former 

students from HS class ’58 to HS class 

‘65 who shared fond memories of 

their beloved teacher. 

Alumni Partners 

Our alumni classes through the 

Maryknoll/Miriam College Association 

(MMCAA) remain strong partners as 

Miriam College forges ahead towards 

its vision and goals. Constantly 

engaged in the school’s development 

and generous with their efforts, 

graduates continue to give back to 

their alma mater through various 

donations to the institution in support 

of scholarships, faculty development, 

and campus improvement. 

In line with the school’s 85th 

anniversary, this year’s homecoming 

theme was, “Women on Top: 

Celebrating 85 years of Empowerment”.

PROCESSES 

& SYSTEMS 

Miriam College will focus on instituting effective and efficient policies, 

processes and systems, aligned with the needs of the organization, its 

students, employees and partners. 

Intensive collaboration between the academic units, advocacy and special 

centers and offices, and establishing open lines of communication within the 

institution and with its relevant publics is also a priority.

Revised Organizational Structure 

The Board of Trustees approved the 

revised organizational structure, which 

now includes the revived position of the 

Vice President for Academic Affairs 

(VPAA), replacing the office of the Vice 

President for Higher Education. The 

VPAA is responsible for the supervision 

and coordination of the basic and 

higher education units, advocacy 

and service resource centers as well 

as the Research and Publications 

Management Office. The position 

of Vice President for Development 

and Resource Management (VPDRM) 

was created to oversee and provide 

management of the school’s financial 

and human resources, administrative 

processes, information and 

communication technologies and the 

school’s external relations. The VPDRM 

is also responsible for providing 

leadership and direction for the strategic 

sourcing out of grants and funds for 

the various needs of the school, and is 

directly involved in the development 

and implementation of the institution’s 

strategic plan. 

New councils were created and 

committees were renamed into councils 

to clearly define the roles of the 

different decision-making channels. 

Among these were the Basic Education 

Guided by the President’s QRS (Quality, Relevance and Sustainability), administrators from 

the different units, offices and centers came together to lay-out plans for 2011-2016. 

The Basic Education Council visited the Mind Museum to assess it as a possible educational 

destination for students. 

Council, Higher Education Executive 

Council (EXECON) , Miriam Advocacy 

Centers Council (MACs) and Miriam 

Service Resource Centers Council. 

Streamlining of finance and administrative 

operations of the advocacy and 

special resource centers was undertaken 

through a series of consultative 

meetings with the Vice President for 

Academic Affairs, Finance Director and 

Human Resources Director to facilitate 

a closer integration of their programs 

into the school’s academic life and 

administrative systems. A special 

strategic planning workshop was also 

conducted with the centers to 

align their roles with institutional 

goals. 

Rationalization of office functions and 

positions were undertaken through 

the office of the VPDRM in order to 

streamline the units, centers and offices 

under the new organizational structure. 

Quality assurance was also emphasized 

through the Office of the VPAA, which 

was tasked to ensure that high standards 

are met in the development and 

implementation of curricular, and 

extra-curricular programs initiated by 

the different units. This step 

complements the school’s initiatives 

towards ensuring the effective 

articulation of programs and the 

consistency of these with the school’s 

areas of focus, vision and core values. 

Strategic Plan 2011-2016 

The institutional Strategic Planning 

process was reviewed to streamline 

reporting requirements and enhance 

monitoring effectiveness by the 

Planning and Development Office 

(PDO). The annual institutional planning 

workshop was conducted to evaluate 

progress toward strategic goals, provide 

a platform for the discussion of 

institution-wide issues, and interface 

with the budgeting process. The 

output of the workshop was the 

institutional Strategic Plan for 2011- 

2016, which defined goals and 

sub-goals through the institution’s 

four Ps: Program, People, Processes 

and Systems, and Physical Plant and 

Resources.

Mutual cooperation ensured the swift signing of the Collective Bargaining Agreement 

between the Union of Non-Academic Personnel (UNAP) members and the administration. 

Key result areas of the strategic plan 

were summarized in the President’s 

QRS: Quality, Relevance and 

Sustainability, which serve as the areas 

of focus in delivering high quality 

education that is faculty-student 

centered. The units then developed 

their respective Action Plans in line 

with the institutional goals and guided 

by the QRS. The school’s strategic 

plan cycle was reviewed and processes 

were improved to include new reporting 

tools and schedules to tighten the 

process. Unit reports are now 

gathered on a semestral basis instead 

of quarterly. 

Enhanced Processes and Systems 

The Online Performance Management 

System (PMS) was completed this year 

by the Human Resources Division. 

Laying out of annual plans and 

performance evaluation is now 

conducted online, thereby 

professionalizing the process, making 

it more accessible, accurate and 

efficient. With stronger cooperation 

among parties concerned and more 

systematic processes in place, the 

Audited Financial Statements for SY 

2010-2011 were finalized much earlier 

compared to the previous years. The 

negotiation for the Collective Bargaining 

Agreement was concluded in only half 

a day. 

A review of the Faculty Ranking and 

Evaluation System of the Basic 

Education Unit is being conducted, 

looking into a more appropriate 

vertical promotion process and 

further increasing professional 

involvement among teachers. 

To further ensure the efficiency of the 

school’s systems and procedures, a 

third party risk management review is 

under negotiation to audit criticial 

operations of the school such as 

finance, purchasing and ICT, among 

others. 

Information and Communications 

Technology (ICT) 

The Student Database Management 

System (SDMS) was initiated in the 

High school this year, providing a 

standard database of students’ profiles 

across academic units. The ICT 

Office also successfully implemented a 

number of other projects in order to 

meet the school’s growing demands 

for communication connectivity and 

information access: (1) Upgrading 

of the campus-wide phone system 

with the latest VoIP (Voice Internet 

Protocol) technology from AVAYA; (2) 

Deployment of the Microsoft Exchange 

2010 Email system upgraded to include 

Active Directory; (3) Development 

and deployment of the new Miriam 

College website using DotNetNuke 

Content Management Software; and 

(4) Deployment of the campus-wide 

Wireless WiFi system using the latest 

Cisco wireless technology. With the 

increased incorporation and adaption 

of information and communication 

technologies in the school, awareness 

on the proper use of information 

and communication technology was 

enhanced with the issuance of the 

Miriam College ICT Code of Conduct

RESOURCES & 

We will work to ensure that Miriam College is an 

exemplar of a Green Lifestyle, while maintaining an 

environment that is conducive to teaching, learning 

and research. The strategic management of our 

resources for sustained operations and growth 

continues to be a priority. 

Miriam College is committed to making significant 

and visible leaps in these areas.

Strengthened Financial Management 

The Planning, Programming and 

Budgeting System (PPBS) was 

introduced this year. The planning 

and budgeting calendars were better 

synchronized and the budget approval 

process was improved with the revival 

of the revalidation process or “budget 

hearings” by the Institutional Budget 

Committee (IBC), headed by the ffice 

of the Vice President for Development 

and Resource Management (VPDRM). 

Through the budget hearings, the IBC 

is able to carefully evaluate budget 

proposals from academic units, office 

and centers guided by zero-based 

budgeting. 

The Office of the VPDRM facilitated 

the move to improve the school’s 

financial reporting through the 

submission of regular financial reports 

by the Finance Division to the President 

and to the Board of Trustees Finance 

Committee. This inititative ensured 

closer monitoring of the institution’s 

finances, to enhance the value of the 

institution’s assets and to minimize 

risks. 

For proper allocation and utilization 

of funds focused on the school’s core 

services, the President has imbibed 

in the community a more “budgetaware” 

culture. Resources were 

consciously directed towards academic 

programs and intiatives that support 

these. Clearly-defined parameters on 

budgeting were implemented starting 

this school year, resulting in the 

improved budget performance by the 

units. 

Sustainability 

Improved Collection of fees 

An institutional policy on Tuition 

Fees Collection was developed with 

participation from the academic units 

and the Finance Division in a collective 

effort to address issues on receivables 

from student accounts and collection. 

The new policy has standardized 

collections practices among the basic 

and higher education units, ensured 

compliance with DepEd regulations 

and policies, and helped promote 

financial responsibility among parents. 

Its impact is seen in the increase of 

early and full payments and in the 

reduction of accounts receivables in 

the BEU. New tuition payment schedules 

and schemes were developed to address 

collection concerns.The President’s 

Council’s proposal to require full 

payment of 60% was approved at the 

Board of Trustees Audit Committee 

level to be implemented gradually 

within three school years beginning 

with 35% in SY2012-2013. This policy 

will be applicable to all academic 

units, except for the MC-Southeast 

Asian Institute for the Deaf. Certain 

fees for which payment is not usually 

prioritized will be collected upon 

enrollment to reduce unnecessary 

delays in payments. 

Effective next school year, cash discounts 

for full and advance payments of 

tuition and other fees will be 

implemented to encourage early 

payments. This was inititated to reduce 

accounts receivables and improve in 

the instituion’s liquidity. 

The school has installed a 24/7 payment 

acceptance machine from Rizal 

Commercial Banking Corporation 

(RCBC), which will address the need 

for cashiers after office hours. 

Endowment Fund 

In full force, the Board of Trustees 

Fundraising Committee composed 

of alumnae, Ms. Edith Alcantara 

(chairperson), Ms. Josefina Tan, Ms. 

Priscilla M. Florentino, Ms. Margie 

Moran Floirendo, Atty. Remedios 

Montecastro Lim, Atty. Mari Fabian, 

Babot Aspiras Oreta, and Maria Paz 

Fabella, the President and VPDRM 

mounted the biggest fund raiser for 

the Endowment Fund in the past 

few years with the “Fuel A Dream” 

car raffle. The activity generated an 

income of Php 2.6 million, thereby 

exceeding the P75 million target set 

on the school’s 75th anniversary. 

The project was a huge success with 

the support of many alumni groups, 

friends, and members of the 

community who pooled their resources 

together to participate in the raffle. 

The Endowment Fund was created 

to support student scholarships 

and faculty development programs 

across units.

Ocular inspections and regular meetings with Ayala Land Inc. executives were conducted to ensure that measures are in place in preparation 

for MC-Nuvali’s construction. On the left is a map to the 15-hectare property where MC-Nuvali will rise. 

celebrating former Miriam College 

President, Dr. Loreta N. Castro, who is 

currently the Executive Director of the 

Center for Peace Education. The 

Loreta N. Castro Peace Garden represents 

Dr. Castro’s leadership in the institution 

and significant impact to the larger 

community through her peace 

advocacy at the local and international 

levels. Dr. Castro was the third lay 

president of Miriam College appointed 

in 1986. After her term in 1997, she 

became the founding director of the 

Center for Peace Education. 

A reflection of her character, the 

Garden is a serene space for quiet 

reflection and peace dialogues. The 

inauguration was attended by 

members of Dr. Castro’s family, friends 

from peace networks, classmates from 

Maryknoll College 1968, and members 

of the Miriam College community. 

Proposed MC Swimming Pool 

This year, more serious discussions 

took place on the proposed swimming 

pool project, which aims to contribute 

to the holistic development of our 

students by adding swimming classes 

across all units and providing the 

school’s varsity teams an accessible 

training facility. Other possible programs 

that will utilize the swimming pool are 

being explored as part of the institution’s 

health and wellness program. While 

still at the preliminary stages, the pool 

project is generating a lot of support 

from the various sectors of the internal 

community, including actual contributions 

to the project seed money. 

Second Campus in Nuvali, Laguna 

The Miriam College Board of Trustees 

approved the establishment of the 

second Miriam College campus in 

a 15-hectare property in Calamba, 

Laguna, nest+led in the fast-growing 

NUVALI development of the Ayala 

Land Corporation. 

Consistent with the school’s 85th 

anniversary theme of “Expanding 

Horizons, Creating Impact”, Miriam 

College embarks on a new and 

broader expression of its vision and 

mission of providing its unique brand 

of holistic, values-infused, quality, 

Catholic education to a larger and 

more diverse sector of Philippine 

society. 

This decision is a result of a rigorous 

process of research, consultation and 

careful deliberation that started in 

2006. Of the many locations considered, 

Ayala Land’s NUVALI project in Laguna 

was chosen because of: (1) Its emphasis 

on sustainable development, which 

complements Miriam College’s vision, 

mission and values; (2) Its proximity 

that permits the remote supervision of 

day-to-day operations from the 

Quezon City campus; and (3) The 

province of Laguna is an area of rapid 

growth where industrial techno parks 

and residential subdivisions are 

aggressively being developed. 

The Nuvali campus is a strategic move 

toward growth, new expressions of 

service, and a wider sphere of influence. 

MC-Nuvali is envisioned to be a 

the same academic standards as 

our Quezon City campus. Detailed 

preparations are on-going to ensure 

the new campus’ viability and quality 

through the different internal committees: 

Program, Physical Plant, Human 

Resources, Public Relations/Marketing 

and Finance. 

Eighty-five years-strong and thriving, 

this is Miriam College today. We are 

grateful to all our partners and friends 

who have journeyed with us in the 

past years and helped us achieve so 

much. As we celebrate our 

milestones, we commit to deliver even 

higher quality and truly relevant 

programs for our youth, for our future. 

We continue to count on your support 

as we expand our horizons and create 

greater impact in the coming years, 

forming leaders in service for the next 

generations.

Highlights of Miriam College’s 85-year 

journey were re-enacted by employees 

during the school’s anniversary 

launch. Above scene shows Mother 

Mary Joseph teaching and interacting

work.

85 

The school and organizers of the International 

University Theater Association Conference honored 

distinguished Filipinos in theater, among them Naty 

Crame-Rogers, Tony Mabesa, Fides Cuyugan-Asensio, 

Baby Barredo, Joy Virata, and Celia Diaz-Laurel. 

Miriam College turned 85 this year 

and celebrated with the theme, 

“Expanding horizons, creating impact.” 

For many years, the institution has 

continuously broadened its brand of 

education. It has totally embraced the 

values of Truth, Justice, Peace, and 

Integrity of Creation, its core values 

lived out not only by the school 

community but also brought out to 

influence the larger society. 

The year-long celebration was 

characterized by focused, high-impact 

initiatives that brought foward what 

makes Miriam College a unique 

women’s college of the 21st century.
