Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Bataan Details
Colegio de San Juan de Letran emerged from the fusion of two similar institutions both located in Intramuros. The first was founded in 1620 by Don Juan Geronimo Guerrero, a retired Spanish Officer, who transformed his hermitage home into an orphanage called the Colegio de Niños Huerfanos de San Juan de Letran. Its purpose was to educate and to mold orphans into good Christian citizens.The name San Juan de Letran was inspired from the major Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome, mother of all Christian churches. Early in the history of the College, its chapel was granted many of the privileges enjoyed by the major Basilica. Saint John the Baptist for whom the Basilica is named, is also the patron saint of the College. In a span of more than three centuries, Letran produced alumni who became the builders of the Filipino nation. The names of Manuel Quezon, Sergio Osmena, Apolinario Mabini, Marcelo del Pilar, Padre Mariano Gomez, Francisco Balagtas, Emilio Aguinaldo, and many others are enshrined in the hearts of every Filipino. Colegio de San Juan de Letran has faithfully lived up to her mission. No revolution nor earthquakes, no world war nor man-made disasters have broken down or changed the resolve of our Dominican administrators to continue this noble task of providing excellent Christian education. Countless great men have passed and will continue to pass through the portals of this old venerable institution - revolutionaries, heroes and patriots, presidents, leaders of the Church and most noble of all, a saint. In its long history, there will always be the success as well as challenges. But in the end, Letran will remain standing as a cut above the rest - proud of its heritage and sure of time - honored and enshrined ideals of DEUS, PATRIA, LETRAN.
