A CENTURY OF SERVICE, A CENTURY OF SUCCESS
(A message from faculty members)

There are few organizations that last a hundred years. The fact that St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur (formerly Rosary College) has reached this important milestone is a sign that it has been serving well its clientele through the years. As a faculty member with two years stay in this institution, I marvel at its growth from its humble beginnings. I don’t exactly know what happened in those 100 years, except for some information from documents and stories that I have heard about the school.

I had beautiful experiences during the preparation for the launching of its centennial celebration as I was involved as member of the Committee on Promotions and Advertisements. But more importantly, I was involved in one remarkable activity - the musical play “Annie” in which I played the role of Oliver Warbucks. That was indeed a worth endeavor.
The experience challenged me as a faculty to strive more, push myself to the limit, because there is a lot to do in the next 100 years in this institution. The opportunity to be part of the Centennial Celebration was very rewarding. I realized the value of sacrifice, volunteerism, bayanihan and loyalty.

Well, I am very glad to be part of the achievement of this institution. And truly I am proud to be a member of the Paulinian family. And I would say that there are so many things to be improved, so many things to do and I welcome them. I accept all this challenge because the next 100 years of service requires more energy, more passion and more dedication towards another century of success. Happy 100 years!

It is really amazing, come to think of it- after 100 years, old friends, new friends met together after a long time of not seeing one another. It is a joy to see how St. Paul College of Ilocos Sur have progressed all through the years. We look forward for more years of catering to hundreds of thousands of students and be able to meet the vision of the institution of serving the least, the last and the lost.
