2. GREATNESS AWAITS ONE WHO RECOLLECTS!
This is a milestone, a challenge for us to sustain and live the
Sebastinian tradition, enjoying the tasty fruits of harvest amidst trials and
difficulties and testing our resiliency in values and competency.
We have achieved some of our aspired goals and for these,
we were recognized. These laurels now serve as our strong foundation
because we should reap strength from these moments of triumphs in
order to make future achievements more and more attainable.
But as we realize bigger dreams, we have to be likewise ready
with bigger obstacles that can threaten our hard-earned values and
competencies as a community of humble Christians and as an
institution of love and learning. Let us be strong to continuously work
for the good of all; honing our positive points and strengthening our
weak areas. Remember that greatness is for everyone, shared, savored
treasured and sustained. It is a strength that should forever be cherished. It
should be redefined with a solid commitment and a zest of greater energy
to embark on a passion for further excellence.
So, as we observe our 74th Foundation Anniversary, we
celebrate our God-given creativity which is harnessed through
retrospection, redefinition and revitalization of the Sebastinian education.
Finally, let us be joyful celebrating greatness as one big, solid
Sebastinian Family.
Bravo Baste!

3. In retrospect, Mother Teresa of Calcutta says, “We are all little pencils
in the hand of God, writing his love letters to the world.” Therefore, to
redefine and revitalize the Sebastinian Education, let us live lives of honesty,
integrity, solidarity and concern for the common good. In our daily personal
encounter with Jesus, let us promise Him that in our own simple way, we will
combat injustice with conviction and without fear of chastisement from people
who never care about justice. Alone, as a Sebastinian we can do so little but
together as the Sebastinian Community we can do so much.
The mission of new Evangelization is not only to preach about the
dogmas of the Church but also to live it and manifest the virtues of role
models in our respective communities.
Creativity comes from trust, hence; we have to trust our instincts and
to realize that to make ourselves happy, we have to love our work and find in it
our pleasure.
If our life is lived for others, it is really worth living. The best part
of our life consists of our little acts of kindness and of love directed towards
others especially to the poor, the sick and the needy. Let us also remember that
there is majesty in simplicity and humility and let us make these two virtues
moral imperatives.
There is still much work to do; our work has to go on and our dreams
for our dear San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Manila shall never die.
Bravo Baste!

4. Greetings!
I would like to greet the San Sebastian College-‐Recoletos (SSC‐R)
community on the occassion of its 74th anniversary. The Catholic Educational
Association of the Philippines (CEAP) is very glad to be sharing with you
the honour of being founded on the same year (1941). Amidst the
confusion and chaos of the Second World War (WWII) Catholic education was
planting deep and stable foundations in our nation.
The tradition and history of SSC-R have been intertwined with the
post-war development of the city of Manila and the communities around it.
The school has shown steadfast commitment in providing service and quality
education to its graduates as one of the leading Catholic institutions of the
country. It is indeed a source of pride and honor for the Catholic
educational community.
The Holy Father Pope Francis, in his encyclical last year entitled,
Evangelii Gaudium, reminds us of the the role of Catholic schools in society
and their undeniable contributions to humanity and throughout history. He
also recognizes that those contributions are often not appreciated when they are
counter-cultural, although he acknowledges that a school cannot be other than
counter-cultural for the world is filled with challenges and these are mostly
man-made.
Once again, the Catholic educational community shares with you the
joy of this momentous event. We are looking forward to your more vigorous
engagement in transforming our society. We believe that your experience in
San Sebastian College-Recoletos are already serving to stimulate and
enrich your respective communities.
Congratulations and May Our Lord and His Holy Mother bless you on
your 74th year and beyond!

5. Strong leaders are not only academically outstanding; they are also
recognized for their promise of innovativeness and loyalty to public service.
The theme, “Roots of Creativity: Retrospection, Redefinition, and
Revitalization of Sebastininan Education”, guides the students, faculty, staff,
alumni and school administrators of San Sebastian College-Recoletos as they
celebrate their 74th founding anniversary. May this milestone be a reminder of
what being a Sebastinian means: in the service of God and of the people.
The Department of Education (DepEd) lauds the SSCR for its more
than seven decades of dedication to quality instruction, teacher competence,
and student competitiveness. May SSC-R continue this thrust for may years to
come.
Congratulations to San Sebastian College-Recoletos! May your

education agenda the best way possible.

7. San Sebastian College – Recole-
tos, Manila, is a Catholic Institution
of higher learning, duly recognized
by the Philippine Government. One of
the seven “Recollect” schools in the
Philippines, it is owned and operated
by the Augustinian Recollect Fathers.
Elegantly couched right in the heart of Manila (along CM Recto Avenue and a few
meters from bustling Quiapo). In the 1940’s, the Order of Augustinian Recollects
(OAR) envisioned the establishment of a Catholic School that performs a three-fold
mission: the development of man, the promotion of local culture, and the welfare
of society. SSC-R, Manila was established in 1941 but assumed hiatus from 1942
to 1945 when World War II broke out. It formally reopened after the war in 1946.
San Sebastian College was established and founded as an exclusive boys’ school with
initial offerings in the Elementary and High School levels, as well as the Institute of Liberal
Arts in College. Currently, the College caters to both male and female students in all levels.
Now on its 74th year, San Sebastian College- as fittingly exuded by the indomitable spires of
its gothic Basilica-continues its dauntless commitment to serve, form and educate
Filipinos, the “Recollect” way.
SSC-R, Manila embarked on a program of continuous, scheduled
improvement of the school’s facilities to better serve the growing needs of the
students. New constructions, installations, repairs and acquisitions were made to effect
essential innovations. In 1998, the main quadrangle was repaved and
coated with safety epoxy cement. It now features an alternate playing ground to the
college gym featuring three basketball courts, a tennis court and a volleyball court. The
monthly first Friday Mass is celebrated at the quadrangle for the community.
Today, SSC-R, Manila boasts and exhibits spacious and fully air-conditioned
classrooms, five well-equipped libraries – one for each department, four computer
laboratories in the college department, one in the elementary department, and three in the high
school department. Instructional media centers can be found in the tertiary, high school and
elementary departments. The College has a mass communication laboratory/studio, mini-hotel
rooms and function laboratories. The Institute ofCommerce has a special business laboratory
that is used by practicum students and interested students. Several concessionaires in the
cafeteria area offer food, snacks and beverages. A group of dedicated licensed physicians,
dentists and nurses trained in school emergencies and procedures man a fully equipped med-
ical/dental clinic.

8. In the macroscopic Philippine educational setting, SSC-R, Manila has entrenched itself through its
multi-faceted achievements that mirror the brand and quality of education it furnishes the Filipinos.
The Elementary, High School and College Departments enjoy accreditation from the Philippine
Accrediting Agency of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). The Institute of Law gained
approval from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to revise its curriculum designed to
produce business and economic lawyers for the future. The Institute of Law is the first and only
Asian Law School to become an associate member of the Southwestern Legal Foundation based in
Dallas, Texas, which sponsors the annual Dallas Academy of American and International Law. The
legal aid to the poor and marginal members of society through SOLA is the Institute’s legacy to the
people of Manila.
The students on their part have reaped glory, prestige and honor for the School through their
remarkable success in off-campus competitions in various fields of endeavors. The students have
excelled in inter-collegiate competitions in drama, literary-musicals, and sports, skill demonstrations
in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. SSC-R, Manila has established NCAA records and
became undisputed champions for years in the fields of basketball, volleyball, chess and track and
field in the junior and senior divisions. The DMST/ROTC cadets have annually garnered awards in
drill competitions.
Many Sebastinians have won major inter-collegiate awards in the fields of oratory, song,
declamation, debate and science exhibits. Numerous plays and musicals have been produced in
campus and off-campus by the Student Theater and singing groups. Participation and immersion in
community development, social action and religious activities have been
encouraged. Administration, Faculty and Students are active participants of the Institution’s
program in its Campus Ministry Office and the Outreach Program Office.
The SSC-R, Manila envisions a continuance of its mission, vision and objectives for the greater
glory and honor to God. The College also vows to continue fulfilling the three-fold mission of the
founding OAR Fathers in providing QUALITY CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ORIENTED EDUCATION
for the Filipinos beyond the year 2000.
