To formally signify their intention to establish linkage in the areas of teaching,
research, and academics, officials of two Catholic Higher Eduation Institutions signed
a Memorandum of Understanding on February 20.
De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Chancellor Robert Tang and San Sebastian College-Recoletos
de Cavite Vice President for Administration Rev. Fr. Rommel L. Rubia, OAR put pen
to paper at the Executive Lounge of the Andrew Cafe in Malate, Manila. Fr. Rubia
signed the MOU on behalf of SSC-R de Cavite School President Rev. Fr. Rafael B. Pecson,
OAR.
Said memorandum identified the coordinators for the interaction between the institutions,
namely Mr. Mark Humphrey Mendoza, DLS-CSB Academic Linkages Office Director, and
Mrs. Maria Soledad T. Tubay, Institutional Advancement, Parents and Alumni Relations
Director.
Following the invocation, Mr. Tang welcomed guests to the signing ceremony and gave
a short introduction, expressing DLS-CSB's openness to helping other schools. "Thank
you for trusting us with a partnership," he said.
Ms. Manalili then screened an audiovisual presentation titled "Beat of Benilde" about
the facilities of DLS-CSB's three campuses. The presentation featured Benildeans
from the Dance, Music Production, and Multimedia programs.
Mr. Tang and Fr. Rubia signed the Memorandum of Understanding shortly thereafter.
Fr. Rubia thanked the organizers for the warm reception. He also praised DLS-CSB
for its generous character. "Alive na alive ang institution. Maybe because you're
so giving," he said.
