Today, we commemorate the 111th Anniversary of the Lasallian Presence in the Philippines 
“De La Salle College (now De La Salle University - Manila) officially opened its doors to 125 youngsters on 16 June 1911 in a 13,000-square meter property on Nozaleda Street in Paco, Manila. By 10 July, the total number to students reached 175. Forty were boarding students, while those who took a mid-day meal on campus were termed half-boarders. Br. Blimond, a native of France, became the first head of the college.”
