USLS set to unveil Iloilo expansion on October 7

The University of St. La Salle (USLS) marks a significant milestone by partnering with Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends) to establish its second school in Western Visayas, with the launch of the University of St. La Salle - Iloilo set for October 7 at Gateway Hotel in Pavia.

Founded in 1952 by the De La Salle Brothers in Bacolod City, USLS is a leading Catholic educational institution in Negros Occidental, known for its top-tier academic programs spanning basic education, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as specialized offering in law and medicine.

The establishment of the Iloilo campus will introduce business programs that align with its Lasallian mission of teaching minds, touching hearts, and transforming lives.

This expansion of USLS in Iloilo, in collaboration with Profriends and following the recent signing of a memorandum of agreement and deeds of donation, is deemed pivotal as it promises to foster stronger academe-industry linkages while providing holistic Lasallian education in the Panay Islands.

“We are thrilled with the launching of USLS-Iloilo, as this partnership with Profriends opens new avenues for educational opportunities and community development, allowing us to better serve the needs of the region,” USLS President Br. Joaquin Severino Martinez FSC DMin said.

Profriends, a subsidiary of Maplecrest Group Inc., has played an instrumental role in the growth of Pavia since it began developing communities in Iloilo in 2007, with Parc Regency Residences and Monticello Villas.

The launching of USLS-Iloilo on October 7 is expected to be attended by key university administrators, partners from Profriends, and representatives from local government units.
