DLSU Centennial Kick-off celebration |
The colors green and white dominated Taft Avenue, Manila last June 16, 2011 as De La Salle University (DLSU) celebrated 100 years of Lasallian presence in the Philippines. On that same day in 1911, the Lasallian Brothers opened the first La Salle School in the Philippines at Calle Nozaleda in Paco, Manila and welcomed 125 students. Today, there are probably thousands of students receiving their education in 17 La Salle schools in the Philippine Islands.
