SAN ILDEFONSO DE TOLEDO
SIC Patron Saint
San Ildefonso who was born on December

of 607 CE and of distinguished birth was
the nephew of St. Eugenius, Archbishop of
Toledo to whose office he afterwards
succeeded. At an early age, he became a
monk inspite of parental opposition, and
joining the community of Agala near
Toledo in Spain. He was eventually
elected Abbot of that Monastery. While
he held the Office of Abbot, he attended
the 8th and 9th Councils of Toledo in
657.This is an evidence of his ardent
devotion conspicuous in his own writings as
well as the praise of his contemporaries
and successors. This also showed that San
Ildefonso possessed all the virtues which
became his high office in an eminent
degree. Among his literary works, his
remarkable glow of enthusiasm in writing
about the Blessed Virgin Mary was
particularly apparent. He governed the
Church of Toledo, Spain for a little more
than 9 years, and died on January 23, 667.

SAN ILDEFONSO COLLEGE HISTORY: A CENTURY OF
HOLISTIC AND COMPETENT CATHOLIC EDUCATION
For more than three centuries, the

town of Tanay has been under the
Franciscan friars that belongs the
Province of San Gregorio Magno.
The early missionaries dwelt so
much on evangelization with the
natives and tried to expand
Catholic religion within their
ecclesiastical boundaries.
FRANCISCAN
MISSIONARIES
Only in 1851 when these Franciscan missionaries built a primary school. Felix
Huerta in his Estado-Demografico states:
“Despues por los años de 1851, fue reparada la casa paroquial y
reducida a mayor forma por el R. P. Fr. Antonio Santiago. Hay
ademas un tribunal de Piedra: una escuela de primeras letras,
dotada por las cajas de Comunidad, en un camarin de nipa, y como
unas sete cientos casas de las cuales son de tablas las tres cuartas
partes…”1["After the years of 1851, the parish house was repaired
and transformed into a better form by R. P. Fr. Antonio Santiago.
There is also a court house made of stone; a primary school
sponsored and funded from the community fund, a room made of
nipa and about seven hundred houses of which are three-quarters
made of wood ... "]
This educational instruction for the natives was realized during the year of Fray
Antonio Santiago y Verdugo. Together with the other friars, the Franciscans
introduced the basic rudiments of the alphabets, the three R’s and of course, the
Doctrina Cristiana and the ways and how to recite the basic prayers like Ave
Maria, Pater Noster and Gloria Patri plus the catechism given by the Curas.
In one of the memoirs of the late Rev. Fr. Arthur Price, a Columban missionary,
he was able to found an extant of the early Spanish records of the parish, which
corroborates the establishment of the school building in 1850s. It says that the
new building which is intended for the educational instruction was divided for
the boys and the girls in the Poblacion. This was followed by the incoming
1 Philippine Parishes under the Franciscan Friars, Archivo San Pedro Bautista, Quezon City. From the writings of
Felix Huerta, OFM.

maestro in 1860 wherein this incoming teacher would be met by the Cura with
the ceriales, the Alcalde, banda de musico and the principales of the town.2
THEN…
THE CHURCH OF SAN ILDEFONSO AND THE SCHOOL (RIGHT SIDE)
At the end of the Spanish rule in the 19 th century, a new wind blew for the people
of Tanay. New missionaries arrived and at the same time, new methods and
ways of learning in molding the hearts and minds of the people of Tanay were
eventually accepted.

CICM3 Fathers
The first CICM missionaries landed in the Philippines on Nov. 2, 1907, they were
met by Father Carroll, secretary of Bishop Dougherty of Vigan. The group went
to the residence of Msgr. Agius, who welcomed them with open arms. They were
offered lodging for almost two weeks at the convent of the Augustinians in
Intramuros. Aside from the Apostolic Delegate, they were invited at table by
Archbishop Jeremiah James Harty of Manila and later, also by the Jesuits.
The coming of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary or CICM to
the Philippines was spearheaded by no less than the then Apostolic Delegate to
the Philippines, Msgr. Ambrosius Agius, dated February 14, 1906 to Fr. Adolf
Van Hecke, CICM Superior General:
“The Superior of the Mill Hill Fathers suggested

that I write to you because you could provide several
vigorous and zealous missionaries since you are
looking for new mission territories. Please, good
Father, come to our aid and do it without further
delay.”4
MSGR. AMBROSIUS AGIUS
The first group consisted of eight priests and one brother from Belgium. Two
others from the China mission followed after a couple of weeks. The minutes of
the meeting of June 30, 1907 of the CICM General Government ticks off their
names, as follows, “The Council destined for the new mission of the Philippines:
Fr. Peter Dierickx as Superior, Frs. Herman Ramaekers and Albert Botty from
Ortos Mission in China as his councilors. To these are added: Frs. Florimond
Carlu, Albert Dereume, Serafin Devesse, Constant Jurgens, Jules Sepulchre,
Oktaaf Vandewalle, Henri Verbeeck, and Bro. Christiaan Hulsbosch.
THE FIRST CICM MISSIONARIES

The letters CICM stands for the Latin text that bears the name of their congregation that is Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae. It is a
Roman Catholic missionary religious congregation of men established in 1862 by the Belgian Catholic priest Theophiel Verbist (1823–
1868).

From the letters of His Excellency Rt. Rev. Msgr. Ambrosius Agius, Apostolic Delegate by His Holiness Saint Pius X.

Rev. Pierre Cornelis de Brouwer
One of the missionaries coming from the CICM Fathers was Rev. Pierre Cornelis
de Brouwer. Upon his arrival from Belgium in 1909, Rev. Fr. Pierre Cornelis de
Brouwer5,was assigned first in Pasig, Rizal and eventually founded Pasig
Catholic School in 1913. It was known as “Escuela Catolica” during the early
1900’s. 6
Later years, Fr. Brouwer was transferred and assigned in Tanay, Rizal in 1916. 7
His zeal and enthusiasm, as well as his enigmatic charisma, true to his CICM
vocation, found himself in establishing a school and named it as Tanay Catholic
School in 1918.8 The school he founded function actively as an elementary school
with the help of the parish priest of Tanay until 1936.
REV. PIERRE CORNELIS DE BROUWER, CICM
When Fr. De Brouwer arrived in Tanay in 1916, he did not yet already start
putting up of a school. It is the general practice of any missionaries to know first
the people, the culture, the tradition and the surrounding place where they are
assigned. This general practice is not new to the CICM Fathers. Normally, a
foreign missionary who comes from a foreign country would take several years
before they venture into a major project such as erecting a school. This custom is
corroborated and attested by their Provincial Superior when he said that:
“Within CICM tradition, our missionaries dedicate a year or two just
observing the reality of the new place they are assigned in. besides, to
create a new parish school would require some financial resources.”9
Nevertheless, his dream of putting and establishing a school came to realize.

However, the CICM Fathers who lived and served the people of Tanay did not
lasts long. They were recalled and asked to serve in the Northern part of the
island of Luzon. Another group of missionaries replaced the CICM. This time,
the Columban missionaries. They were the ones who continued the legacy the
CICM had established, in particular, the importance of learning through
education. The elementary school continued to exist with the presence of the
Columban missionaries.

A
CLASS PICTURE OF GRADE II PUPILS IN 1933.

NOTE THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL: TANAY CATHOLIC SCHOOL
THE COLUMBAN FATHERS10

The first resident Columban missionary in Tanay was Fr. Dermot Feeny who
held it down until Fr. Gerald Cogan11 arrived one month later in August 1937.
While Fr. Cogan was taking his holidays in Ireland, Fr. Arthur Price took over as
Parish Priest from April 1939 to July 1940. The immediate post-war effect saw
newly arrived young priests filling in the post of the veteran missionaries who
went home for a rest. Fr. Eddie Bahl12 was the earliest to arrive. He became the
parish priest of Tanay from 1946-1948.13
REV. FR. EDDIE BAHL, SSC
Picking up the pieces…

However, the school’s operation was temporarily shut down during World War
II. The damages caused by World War II destroyed many lives and
infrastructures in the town of Rizal. All were shut down.
After the war, the Columban missionaries picked up again the pieces of the
rubbles of the war. They revived again the school.
Since there was no school in Tanay, many of the young people studied in a
nearby schools such as Morong and elsewhere and were gone all week. This is

Rev. Fr. Edmund Bahl was born in Buffalo, New York in 1918. He was ordained on the 18 th December 1943 at Nebraska. He died at
Lakeshore, New York at the age of 83. His body was buried in Saint Columban, Lake Silver Creek, New York.

what Rev. Fr. Edmund Bahl saw the need when he was assigned in Tanay. Partly
from boredom, Fr. Bahl undertook in establishing a high school which he had
determined could easily be housed in the old convento. Nowhere to ask for funds
or financial support, Fr. Bahl enlisted the aid of the American military forces to
renovate the building and acquire the equipment necessary to begin. With the
help of Mr. Tommy Chema, aide to the Navy Commander in Manila, gave Fr.
Bahl moral and material support in building the school. It was named San
Ildefonso High School in honor of the town’s patron saint San Ildefonso de
Toledo. By 1947, the high school was open.
STUDENTS OF TYPEWRITING AND STENOGRAPHY CIRCA 1948-1949
In 1950, under Fr. Arthur Price 14, an elementary

department was added and the Sisters of Saint
Paul de Chartres took over the administration.
Three sisters of Saint Paul de Chartes arrived on
the 17th May 1950. They were Sister Marietta de
St. Paul Somera who will be Principal, Sister
Mamerta of the Cross Rocero as teacher and
Sister Dolores who will function as the
housekeeper.
REV. ARTHUR PRICE, SSC
Aside from the existing Secondary School, the school offered vocational courses
of Stenography and Typing. That same year San Ildefonso became a Junior
College. The school began to train elementary teachers and later, in 1960, became
a full four (4) year college offering degrees in education and commerce.
In 1951, the Sisters of Saint Paul offered a two-year Teacher’s Course in
Elementary Education. The school’s name was eventually changed to San
Ildefonso Junior College. General collegiate Courses were added to the existing
Elementary and Secondary Programs.
14
Rev. Fr. Arthur Price was born in 1912 in Auckland, New Zealand. Ordained on 21 st December 1935 at Dalgan. He died on 4 th November
1996 in Saint Columban’s in Manila. His remains were buried in Manila Memorial Park.

In 1960, the school attained full college status and its name changed to San
Ildefonso College. The following courses were given to the school respectively;
a. Bachelor of Science in Education Degree, 1960.
b. Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education degree, 1962.
c. Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree, 1974
d. Bachelor of Arts degree, 1974.
e. General Clerical Course, 1975.
f. Junior Secretarial Course, 1986.
Due to the increase of enrollees, a two-storey semi-concrete building rose in 1959

and another three-storey was constructed in 1962. In 1985, another three-storey
building of six classrooms was constructed and completed in 1988.
SECULAR CLERGY
Through the course of time, Tanay had developed and by 1966, the Columbans
relinquished their post and turnover it to the Diocesan clergy. Fr. James
MacCarthy made the formal turnover in August 1966. Fr. Protacio G. Gungon
was the first Filipino parish priest and became the first school director of San
Ildefonso College. It was a productive thirty years for the Columbans and a time
much appreciated by the people of Tanay.
In May 28, 1973, the Saint Paul Sisters ceded the

administration of running the school to the Religious of the
Virgin Mary or RVM15 Sisters. Sister Ma. Susana Urbina
was designated Administrator of San Ildefonso College
together with Rev. Msgr. Clemente Lopez as Director.
RVM SEAL
In 1981, Jaime Cardinal Sin elevated the College to Archdiocesan status
designating the Administrator as Directress of San Ildefonso College. The first
RVM Directress of SIC was Sister Ma. Marietta Escañan.
In 1991, Bishop Protacio Gungon, who is also the
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, appointed
Rev.Fr. Efren Arellano as the Director of San
Ildefonso College after the Religious of the Virgin
Mary decided to end up administering the college.
In December 1992, Rev. Fr. Paquito Gallego took
over the Directorship. He continued what has his
predecessor has started.

The Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary or La Cofradía de Hermanas de Religiosa de la Virgen María or RVM is a Roman
Catholic ecclesiastical community of pontifical right founded in Manila in 1684 by the Filipina lay woman Venerable Mother Ygnacia
del Espiritu Santo.

During the time of Fr. Gallego, Computer Literacy Program was implemented.
The main thrust of the program was the integration of computer education in all
the curricula of the three academic departments of SIC. In his time, Fr. Gallego
developed structures designed to make Religion/Christian Living as the core of
the curricula.
In terms of extension services, SIC spearheaded
the implementations of a number of programs on
faculty development among DACSA and MAPSA
member schools in her capacity as conduit and
school related programs and services. In line with
the organizational development of MAPSA,
schools like SIC offering post-secondary education
has likewise undergone organizational and
structural development. Fr. Gallego assumed the
position of being the first College President of San
Ildefonso College.
REV. FR. PAQUITO G. GALLEGO
The Vision of San Ildefonso College

“Men and Women, holistic and Competent empowered by
QUALITY CATHOLIC EDUCATION
The Mission Statement of San Ildefonso College

San Ildefonso College is a Diocesan Catholic Institution that commits
to the task of striving for excellence in instruction, research and
extension. San Ildefonso College is equally dedicated towards the
formation of a God-giving person, the strengthening of the Basic
Ecclesial Communities, and the formation of Filipino professional
leaders in teaching, business, management, computer education and
entrepreneurship.
Motivated by love of God and country and a deep sense of social
responsibility and inspired by the spirit of San Ildefonso, the
Ildefonsian is involved in the service to the poor and devotion to
Mary through humble and hones participation in community
endeavors in response to the needs of the times.
In 1999, Rev. Fr. Marcel S. Prudente replaced Fr. Gallego as College President. In
a short span of time, Fr. Prudente initiated a number of innovations at San
Ildefonso College. However, his stay with the parish and the school was cut off
short because of being assigned to a new ministry. He is replaced by Rev. Fr.
Felipe L. Pedraja who was appointed and installed as the third President of SIC
on December 12, 2000.

Under Fr. Pedraja’s incumbency, he launched a 10-Year Development Plan,
redefining more specifically the direction for San Ildefonso College. Part of this
plan was the proposed Physical Plant Development Project – a 5 storey SIC
building especially designed to nurture locally and globally competitive
individuals. Added more, Fr. Pedraja tapped the SIC Alumni Association in the
Philippines and SIC Alumni Association in America for the renovation and
repair of the three-storey High School building as a gesture of their commitment
to their Alma Mater. Fr. Pedraja also transformed the office of the executive
assistant into the office of the Administrative Support Services. Moreover, the
Physical Plant Officer and the Coordinator of the Center for Integral
Evangelization were added as member of the Administrative Council.
On August 4, 2005, a new school president was

installed in the person of Rev. Msgr. Peter C.
Cañonero. He implemented a number of
development projects so that San Ildefonso
could live up to its status as a Diocesan Catholic
institution. Under his care and supervision, SIC
went massive repairs and extensive “face-lifting”
of buildings and facilities.
REV. MSGR. PEDRO C. CAÑONERO
Innovations were introduced into the organizational set up: The Administrative
Council gave way to the President’s Council and Academic Council. Msgr.
Cañonero created the Office of the Vice-President for Academics and
Administration. Staff development was strengthened and programs and services
were redefined and restructured in response to the increasing requirements and
demands of quality and excellence. The school president also gave serious and
responsible considerations on the following issues and concerns such as:
a. Integral Evangelization
b. Financial Stability
c. Accreditation
d. Resource Build-up
e. Involvement of Parents and Alumni into the reinventing of the thrust of
the school
f. Celebration of San Ildefonso de Toledo every 3 rd week of the month.
In 2010, new building for the High School department is completed and all of
the basic education classrooms were successfully installed fully air-conditioned
rooms.
At present, San Ildefonso College remains an active member of Manila

Archdiocesan and Parochial Schools Association (MAPSA), and Diocese of
Antipolo Catholic Schools Association (DACSA).

To answer the needs of the community and in response to Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order, the BSE Curriculum was
revised for the implementation in Academic Year 2005-2006. Likewise, the BEED
with areas of concentration in Content Courses and Early Childhood Education
were also implemented during that year. On June 2, 2007, the Bachelor of Science
in Business Administration (BSBA) Program, majors in Human Resource
Development and Management (HRDM) and financial Management (FM) were
recognized by CHED for immediate implementation in Academic Year 2007-
2008.

Senior High School.
For Grades 7-10, a learner who Did Not Meet Expectations in

at most two learning areas must take remedial classes. Remedial
classes are conducted after the Final Grades have been computed.
The learner must pass the remedial classes to be promoted to the
next grade level. However, teachers should ensure that learners
receive remediation when they earn raw scores which are
consistently below expectations in Written Work and Performance
Tasks by the fifth week of any quarter. This will prevent a student
from failing in any learning area at the end of the year.

For Grades 11-12, learners who fail a unit/set of competencies
must be immediately given remedial classes. They should pass the
summative assessments during remediation to avoid a failing
grade in a learning area/subject. This will prevent students from
having back subjects in Senior High School (SHS). However, if the
learner still fails remedial classes, she/he must retake the subject/s
failed during the summer or a back subject. Guidance
teachers/career advocates must provide support to the SHS
student for his/her choices in SHS tracks.
Summative Assessments are also given during remedial

classes. These are recorded, computed, weighted and transmuted
in the same way as the Quarterly Grade. The equivalent of the
Final Grade for remedial classes is the Remedial Class Mark (RCM).
The Final Grade at the end of the school year and the Remedial
Class Mark are averaged. This results in the Recomputed Final
Grade. If the Recomputed Final Grade is 75 or higher, the student
is promoted to the next grade level. However, students will be
retained in the grade level if their Recomputed Final Grade is below
75.
E. EVALUATION OF STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT
E.1 CRITERIA FOR GRADING
The K to 12 Basic Education Program uses a standard and

competency-based grading system. These are found in the
curriculum guides. All grades will be based on the weighted raw
score of the learners’ summative assessments. The minimum
grade needed to pass a specific learning area is 60, which is
transmuted to 75 in the report card. The lowest mark that can
appear on the report card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final
Grades.
For these guidelines, the Department will use a floor grade

considered as the lowest possible grade that will appear in a
learner’s report card.
Learners from Grade 7 to 12 are graded on Written Work,

Performance Tasks and Quarterly Assessment every quarter.
These three are given specific percentage weights that vary
according to the nature of the learning area.

F. NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
[bow during the next two lines:]
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the
Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead
and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and
the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy,
catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
G. THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

D. Detailed Instructions During the Evacuation Drills

An evacuation drill is an opportunity to test knowledge on

not panic, remain calm. Follow the instructions of your
teacher. Observe silence to enable you to hear the
instructions from the Public Announcement system.

The conduct of on earthquake drill is different from that of a
fire drill.
Fire Drill — The sound of a siren/bell means that a fire is

ongoing and all occupants of the building are to immediately
evacuate to ensure their safety.
Earthquake Drill — The sound of a siren/bell indicates that

a strong shaking is ongoing and the level of ground shaking
prevents people to stand and move around.
Participants during the 1-minute siren/bell should

perform the DUCK, COVER AND HOLD response.
After the 1-minute siren/bell, participants quietly go out

of room and proceed to the designated evacuation area.

Kit bag consisting of the following items: a small battery-
