THE LETRANITE
The ideal of the Letranite is an embodiment of nobility, generosity, and
the discipline of the knight of the old age.
This ideal draws its inspiration from God Himself. Because of his/her
intimacy with God, even the conduct of the Letranite is manifestly inspired
by Him and oriented toward Him.
The Letranite sees the religious duties of the Christian the means for
him/her to nourish and strengthen the life of God in him/her, rather than
simply onerous obligations. Hence, s/he fulfills them more for a sense of
need and conviction than compulsion.
The Letranite is likewise devoted to the Mother of God, whom s/he
reveres and honors as the Letranites before him/her did. This devotion to
our Lady is manifested in more ways than one-- the more popular being the
rosary. The rosary in the Letranite’s pocket which s/he prays alone, with
his/her peers, and with his/her family at home, is a long, revered tradition
among Letranites.
His/her dealing with others is marked by a generosity that flows from
his/her nobility of heart. S/he is expected to practice fairness at all times
even while s/he is strongly aware of his/her rights.
The Letranite conducts himself with dignity at all times as manifested
in his/her manner and deportment. S/he is never caught sloppily attired.
S/he never uses harsh words with anyone at anytime.
The Letranite is always confident of himself/herself because s/he is
promised everything that is good, true, and beautiful. Every true Letranite
emnbraces these ideals.
Page 7
LETRAN SYMBOLS
Colors Blue and red (not red and blue)
symbolize the nobility of the mind and the spirit
before bravery and courage is fired by a cause.
Seal The Shield, which carries the Silver
Cross on a blue and red field encircled by a wreath
of green laurels, symbolizes the pattern by which
the spirit must grow – the silver purity of true and
noble goals alone can triumph over difficulties.
Victory follows with a wreath of laurels.
Personification The Letranite is personified
by the Knight, who goes through rigid tests from
being a Page to a Squire when his/her heart and
soul are many times tested for purity before s/he
qualifies for the most trying challenge and then
granted knighthood. As a knight, s/he carries the
shield and the lance to protect not his/her body but
his/her ideals as s/he fights for them with a pure
heart.
DEUS ▪ PATRIA ▪ LETRAN
Motto fit only for a knight, embodies
his/her manner of offering deeds – to God, first; the
country next; and Letran where the ideal is born.

HISTORICAL ROOTS
Letran Calamba is part of a long-term plan prepared by the
Commission for the Planning of the Ministry of the Word of the
Dominican Province of the Philippines mainly in line with its program of
expansion and relevance and partly as an answer to government policy of
decongesting Metro Manila. The role the institution would play is aptly
dramatized in a well-chosen setting – a seven-hectare tract of land along
the verdant foothills of the legendary Mt. Makiling at Brgy. Bucal.
The choice must have evolved from certain reflections on the mother
institution’s glorious image as a cradle of martyrs and great Filipinos like
Manuel L. Quezon, Apolinario Mabini, and Francisco Baltazar, among
others, and of the significance of Calamba as the birthplace of the national
hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. The link is thematically historical and lends a
distinguishing character to the birth of the young school on March 11,
1979 as an extension campus of Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Intramuros.
Letran Calamba shares with its mother and other Dominican-run
schools a commitment to participate in the evangelization mission of the
Catholic Church through its particular educative purpose: the total
formation of individuals whose maturity and responsibility shall be firmly
rooted in the Catholic faith, its teachings and values.
True to its roles as the nucleus of growth in the region, the institution
actively devotes itself to the promotion of relevant schemes in learning and
teaching in the grade school, high school, collegiate, and graduate school
levels. On August 7, 1986, the school gained its autonomy and had its first
President and Rector installed in the person of Rev. Fr. Tamerlane Lana,
O.P. on the occasion of the feast of St. Dominic de Guzman, founder of the
Order of Preachers.
As a learning institution that opens wide its doors to all sectors of
Philippine society irrespective of social status, ethnic origin, creed, or
nationality as long as the student has the intellectual capability, Letran
Calamba has proven itself worthy of its ideals.
Page 9
True to its commitment to develop qualified and productive
professionals who can effectively contribute to the growth of the nation
and in response to the call of the government to increase the scientific and
technological literacy of students, a four-year development plan for a Math
and Science curriculum was formulated and was recommended for
implementation beginning Academic Year 2001-2002. It was granted
Government Recognition No. 050 s.2005 during AY 2004-2005.
The academic year 2012-2013 marked the implementation of the K to
12 curriculum starting with Grade 7.
Today, Letran Calamba Special Science High School continues to
move ahead out of the fields of Mathematics and Sciences by joining and
winning in local competitions such as ICT contests, Mathematics Teachers
Association of the Philippines /Mathematics Trainers’ Guild, Bible Quiz
Bees and Press Conferences, and in international competitions such as the
International Robotics Olympiad. The department takes an active role in
community extension through its projects. BAR-k-d-HAN, Healthwatch,
Ecowatch, and Catechetical Outreach Programs (COP).
The achievements that Letran Calamba has done so far for the church
and country all the more inspire its community of religious and lay
participants in the mission of and integrating in its program the quest for
truth, justice and peace for the glory of God, country and self in all
institution’s endeavors.
The Knight, personifying the virtues of God-loving, disciplined, and
truly dignified individual who is the Letranite, unceasingly pulsates in the
school’s thrust to keep the vision that the forebears and founding fathers
created dynamic and forever at peace with the world. DEUS, PATRIA,
LETRAN!

THE FILIPINO DOMINICAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Introduction
Education is one of the priorities of the Dominican Province of
the Philippines because it is among the most important means of the
evangelization and has been, historically and by God’s providence, an
integral element of the mission of the Dominicans in the Philippines.
Purpose of Education
Education encompasses religious, personal, and social goals.
Education is an extension of the Church’s mission of
evangelization. As such, its purpose is to bring out the salvific dimensions
of the arts, science, technology, and culture. It synergizes faith and culture,
of faith and life. It seeks to deepen faith as it develops reason leading to an
appreciation and living of Gospel values.
For the society, education nurtures culture and serves as catalysts
of change and development.
For the person, education is meant to bring out his/her total and
integral development. Ultimately education enables the person to attain the
purpose for which s/he was created: namely, union with God, communion
with others, and harmony with creation.
As a Dominican mission, education is a form of preaching
ministry borne out and nourished by the pillars of the Dominican life:
study, prayer, community life, and service.
Page 11
Nature of the Learner
The learner is God’s creation, made after His image and likeness,
therefore, basically good. S/he was entrusted the task of being a steward of
creation. Although wounded by sin, s/he has been redeemed and endowed
with the grace to live a life in Christ.
The learner is a person, an individual unique in himself/herself
but with an inherently social nature.
As a Filipino learner, s/he is characterized by a set of traits or
asal: dangal, damdamin, pakikipagkapwa, as distinguished by a set of
values: utang na loob, palabra de honor, pakikisama, hiya, bayanihan,
etc., challenged existentially by widespread poverty and injustice.
The challenge for the Filipino learner is to develop kagandahang
loob by becoming more and more makadiyos, makatao, makabayan, and
makakalikasan. Moreover, s/he is challenged to cope with the demands of
the times triggered by a glocal, highly technological, and materialistic
culture.
Nature of Education
Education is integral, concerned with the total transformation of
the human person in all dimensions.
Education is a self-initiated and self-motivated process. It occurs
in the learner and ends in the learner. The teacher facilitates learning.
Education is about learning to live, to love, and to leave a legacy.

LIVING THE SPIRIT OF ST. DOMINIC
St. Dominic de Guzman was born in
the village of Caleruega in North Central Spain
about 1170. He founded the Order of Preachers
which has served the church for more than 750
years. “To his Order, he bequeathed a vision
which was innovative in his time and far –
reaching enough to continue as a vital force to
the present day,” writes Mary J. Traeger, O.P.
Innovative, for Dominic perceived ahead of the others the head of the
church of his day. Far reaching and forceful until the present, the Order of
Preachers, founded precisely for the sake of proclaiming the Word and the
salvation of God’s people, has the whole world as its mission territory and
lives the rule according to the uniqueness of each member, and to the
varying needs of the times and the preaching mission.
To his followers, Dominic ordered preaching, study and common life,
three elements of apostolic life which ought to proceed from an abundance
Page 18
of contemplation or prayer. Throughout Dominic’s lifetime, he modeled
his vision – he lived the life he sought to establish.
Dominic’s legacy is summed up by a spirituality uniquely his yet
generously shared and lived by his heirs.
 Warm and joyful to the last breath
 Christ-centered as one lives his baptismal vows to the full
 Missionary
 Gentle but strong in the search for victory
 Serene despite the ups and downs
 Zealous, eager to go, evangelize, and bring faith and hope to the
world
Letranites, being children of St. Dominic, should likewise understand
and live the spirit of the founding father to become the Gospel-persons
they are envisioned to be.
(Publications Office, 1991)
ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST
St. John the Baptist is the patron saint of Letran Calamba.
He was born to St. Elizabeth and Zechariah on June 24,
some four to eight years before the birth of Christ. He was
strong in spirit and lived in the desert till the day he
appeared openly in Israel to prepare the way for the
coming of Christ. His mission and zeal in the ministry
invite us Letranites to reflect on our uniqueness, in both
our identity and our mission, which come from God. The
message of St. John the Baptist is always relevant - we are
called upon to be sign of His kingdom.
Page 19
OTHER DOMINICANS
ST. ALBERT THE GREAT
St. Albert the Great was born in the region of Ausgbourg, of
parents rich in the goods of fortune. From the time he was
a child, he manifested in his studies an unusual aptitude for
the exact sciences. While he was still a boy, he had himself
let down the side of a cliff to examine at close range an
eagle’s nest which interested him. At the age of fifteen, he
was already a student of the natural sciences and the
humanities at Bologna.
In Cologne, St. Albert encountered Saint Thomas Aquinas, a
disciple who alone among all of them would suffice for St.
Albert’s glory. St. Albert already steeped in the highest
theological studies, was silent among the others, to the
point of being called by his fellow students “the Mute Ox of
Sicily.” But Albert silenced them, saying, “The bellowing of
this ox will resound throughout the entire world.”
ST. BARTOLOME DE LAS CASAS
A historian, and a theologian, Bartolome de Las
Casas spent a large portion of his life fighting for
the rights of native peoples of the New World.
He was born on the 16th century in Spain. His
father was a merchant who sailed with
Columbus on his second voyage to the Americas.
He served in a Spanish militia against Moorish
rebels in Grenada. He was also schooled in his
Spanish birthplace and hometown. After
attending the Cathedral Academy in Seville
where he studied Latin and theology, he
achieved the status of lay teacher of Christian
doctrine.
He wrote a historical study about the history of early Spanish conquests of the New
World and later gained experience that enabled him to be a champion for the
rights of Indians. His first-hand knowledge helped him to speak extensively and
argumentatively about the conditions in which Indians lived under the encomienda
system. He himself renounced possession of his own encomienda, where he used
the forced labor of Indians to prosper as a planter.
Page 20
ST. JOHN MACIAS
John Macias was born in Ribera, Spain in the year 1585. He was
orphaned at the age of four and adopted by his uncle, for
whom he tended sheep as a child. He experienced visions from
heavenly patrons, the most significant and frequent being his
namesake St. John the Evangelist. Biographers called him the
“Helper of the Poor Souls.” Every night, he offered three
rosaries for them, praying on his knees despite bodily fatigue.
On September 2, 1645, he became ill and was confined to a
bed from which he was never to arise. He is buried in the
church of St. Dominic alongside the bodies of Saint Rose of
Lima and Saint Martin de Porres. Many cures and other favors
have been performed at his tomb.
ST. LORENZO RUIZ
Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Binondo, Manila between
1600 to 1610. His father was a Chinese and his
mother was a Filipino. He left the Philippines on
June 10, 1636 with the aid of the Dominican Fathers
and Domingo Gonzales. In Japan, Christians were
persecuted and put to death. St. Lorenzo Ruiz
together with his imprisoned companions were
captured and brought to Nagasaki on 10 July 1636.
There they suffered incredible torture as they were
hung by their feet and submerged in water till they
neared death. They also suffered ‘water torture’
which brought some of St. Lorenzo’s companions to
recant their faith. Needles were pressed in between
their finger nails and skin and they were beaten
unconscious. St. Lorenzo never lost his faith. He was
elevated to sainthood and received canonization on
18 October 1987 by His Holiness Pope John Paul II in
Vatican City, Rome.
ST. MARTIN DE PORRES
St. Martin de Porres was born at Lima, Peru, in 1579. His
father was a Spanish gentleman and his mother a colored
freed-woman from Panama. At 15, he became a lay brother
at the Dominican Friary at Lima and spent his whole life
there as a barber, farm laborer, almoner, and infirmarian,
among other things.
St. Martin’s love was all-embracing, shown equally to
humans and to animals, including vermin, and he
maintained cats and dogs hospital at his sister’s house. A
close friend of St. Rose of Lima, this saintly man died on
November 3, 1639 and was canonized on May 6, 1962. His
feast day is November 3.
Page 21
ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
Perhaps, the best known Dominican is the great
medieval theologian, whose writings still guide the
expression of the Catholic faith, Thomas Aquinas. Saint
Thomas is a Doctor of the Church and patron of Catholic
education. He was born in Italy in 1225, trained by the
Benedictines, and died in 1274. Thomas is the
intellectual light of the Dominican Order. Thomas
studied in Cologne and later at Paris under another
renowned Dominican theologian and scientist, St.
Albert the Great. For his entire life, Thomas gave
himself to research, writing, teaching, and preaching.
Thomas, in all his giftedness, remained always the
humble friar. Overheard in his prayer when Christ from
the crucifix asked Thomas what he wished for his
reward, Thomas was heard to reply, “Yourself, Lord,
nothing but yourself.”
ST. VICENTE LIEM DE LA PAZ
St. Vicente Liem De la Paz was born in the village of TraLu, Tonkin to Antonio Daeon and Monica dela Cruz. For
fourteen years, the future martyr labored tirelessly in
administering the sacraments to the faithful. However, he
was arrested for preaching the much outlawed religion in
Tonkin on October 3, 1773, feast of the Holy Rosary. With
two other native Christians and Fr. Castañeda,Vicente Liem
De la Paz was sentenced to die. On November 7, 1773, they
were tied to the stake and decapitated. He was beatified
by Pope Pius X on May 20, 1906 and canonized on June 19,
1988. His feast has now been set on November 24 every
year.
ST. VINCENT FERRER
St. Vincent Ferrer is the patron saint of builders
because of his fame for “building up” and
strengthening the Church: through his preaching,
missionary work, in his teachings, as confessor and
adviser. At Valencia in Spain, this illustrious son of St.
Dominic came into the world on January 23, 1357. In
the year 1374, he entered the Order of St. Dominic in
a monastery near his native city. He lived to behold
the end of the great schism and the election of Pope
Martin V. Finally, crowned with labors, he died on
April 5, 1419. His feast day is April 5.
Page 22
BLESSED JORDAN OF SAXONY
Blessed Jordan was born at Burgberg, Westphalia,
around the year 1185. While studying in Paris, he was
attracted to the Order by Blessed Reginald and
received the habit from him in 1220. On the death of
Saint Dominic, the friars elected him Master of the
Order. For fifteen years, he ministered to his
brothers and sisters by his preaching, his letters, his
edition of the Constitutions, his frequent visitations
and the example of his life. More than one thousand
novices were attracted to the Order during the
tenure of his office. He directed Blessed Diana and
her community in the way of perfection and governed
all his subjects with gentleness and kindness. Blessed
Jordan was shipwrecked and drowned on February
13, 1237.
BLESSED MARGARET OF CASTELO
Blessed Margaret was born blind, lame, deformed, and
hunchback midget. When she was six years old, her noble
parents walled her up beside a chapel; she could not get
out, but could attend Mass and receive the Sacraments.
After 14 years of imprisonment, her parents took her to a
shrine to pray for a cure. When none occurred, they
abandoned her. She became a lay Dominican, and spent
her life in prayer and charity. When she died, the
townspeople thronged her funeral, and demanded she be
buried in a tomb inside the church. The priest protested,
but a crippled girl was miraculously cured at the funeral,
and he consented.
FRA ANGELICO
Fra Angelico (“the Angelic Friar”) was an Italian
painter of the early Renaissance who combined
the life of a devout friar with that of an
accomplished painter. He was called Angelico
(Italian for “angelic”) and Beato (Italian for
“blessed”) because the paintings he did were of
calm, religious subjects and because of his
extraordinary personal piety. This Dominican was
as well known for his sanctity of life as for his
excellence in Christian art. The task of a religious
artist is not to re-write the Gospel, but to
present it as ever living and present, because the
Gospel tells of a man who died and rose from the
dead and therefore continues to live in the Spirit
in every age and culture. Fra Angelico’s motto
was: “To paint Christ, one must live Christ.”

GIROLAMO SAVONAROLA
Girolamo Savonarola (Ferrara, then Duchy of Ferrara,
September 21, 1452 – Florence, May 23, 1498), also
translated as Jerome Savonarola or Hieronymous
Savonarola, was an Italian Dominican priest and, briefly,
ruler of Florence, who was known for religious
reformation, anti-Renaissance preaching, book burning,
and destruction of art.
On May 13, 1497, he was excommunicated by Pope
Alexander VI, and in 1498, he was simultaneously hanged
and burned, in the same place and manner that he had
condemned others. He was charged with uttering
prophecies, sedition, and religious error. In the twentieth
century, a movement for the canonization of Savonarola
began to develop within the Catholic Church, particularly
among
Dominicans,
with
many
judging
his
excommunication and execution to have been unjust.
HUMBERT OF ROMANS
Very little is known about the life of Humbert of
Romans prior to his election as Master of the
Order of Friars Preacher on 31 May 1254.
Humbert was born into a large family in the city
of Romans in Dauphine, France. Humbert of
Romans wrote prolifically. Among the many
commentaries, expositions and 14 encyclical
letters are Epistola de tribes votis substantialibus
religionis, Expositio Regulae B. Augustini,
Expositio in Constitutiones (unfinished), De
Officiis Ordinis, De Eruditione predicatorum, De
Dono timoris, and De Praedicatione Crucis contra
Saracenos. He also wrote a life of St. Dominic, a
dogmatic and historical account of the Council of
Lyons, and multiple works dealing with the
administration of the Order. Humbert finally died
in his hometown of Romans on July 14, 1277.
JEAN-BAPTISTE-HENRI DOMINIQUE LACORDAIRE
Fr. Henri Dominique Lacordaire, O.P., (1802-1861)
had the task of rebuilding the Dominican Order in France
after the French Revolution. Lacordaire’s reputation as a
preacher was phenomenal. His Lenten sermons at the
Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris were a great success.
Once questioned why he chose to be a Dominican, he
said, “The Order has nothing ancient but its history,
nothing better adapted to our times and our wants, than
the rule of St. Dominic.”

The three categories of Administrative Sanction for serious offenses or

erring student of attendance in classes for a period not exceeding twenty

suspension that exceeds twenty percent of the prescribed school days for a
year or term shall be forwarded to the Regional Office concerned within
ten days from the termination of the investigation of each for its
information.
a) Preventive Suspension. A student under investigation of a case
involving the penalty of expulsion may be preventively suspended

life of persons and property in the school.
b) Reformative Suspension. A student who consistently violates
rules on attendance and uniform may be reformatively suspended
from attending classes. However, he must abide to any of the
following measures depending on the gravity or seriousness of

The Quarterly Weighted Average (QWA) shall be the average of the
quarterly grades per grading period. The computation shall be as follows:
QWA
=
∑quarterly grade x no. of units
total no. of units
Page 43
The formula for computing the General Weighted Average (GWA) is:
GWA
=
∑final grades x no of units
total no. of units
The Final Grade in each learning area and the quarterly/general average are
rounded off to the nearest whole number.
d) For MAPEH, individual grades are given to each
area, namely, Music, Arts, Physical Education,
and Health. The quarterly grade for MAPEH
is the average of the quarterly grades in the
four areas. The formula is shown below
Quarterly Grade (QG) = QG for Music + QG for Arts + QG for PE + QG for Health
for MAPEH

SHORT GUIDE FOR A GOOD CONFESSION
I. Before Confession
1. Examine your conscience.
2. Recall your sins since your last good confession.
3.
Calmly ask yourself what you have done with full knowledge and
full consent against God’s commandments.
4.
Specify the number of times you have sinned against each
commandment.
5.
For mortal sins, you should say the number of times, at least
approximately, or how frequently you did them each day, week, or
month.
6.
Be truly sorry for your sins. This is even more important than
recalling sins.
7.
Resolve firmly in your heart never to sin again. We know our great
weakness and proneness to sin. Trusting in God, promise now to try
your best from now on to avoid sin and the occasion of sin.
ACT OF CONTRITION
O my God! I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I
detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell;
but most of all because they offended You, my God, who are all-good and
deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Your grace, to
confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
II. During Confession
1. Kneel down and tell the priest: “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.
My last good confession was…(how many weeks, months, or years) ago.
These are my sins…”
2. Make an act of Contrition, and humbly and gratefully listen to the
Absolution given by the priest in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, to which you will answer. Amen.
III. After Confession
1.Give thanks to your compassionate Savior for the grace of
reconciliation just received.
2. Promptly and devoutly fulfill the penance given by the priest.
Page 65
3. Although you may receive Holy Communion even before performing
your penance, it is advisable to perform it as soon as possible.
4. If you recall some grievous sin you forgot to tell, it has been forgiven
with the others, but you have duty to confess it in your next Confession.

cover the whole world and empty
Yourself out upon us.

PRAYER TO BECOME A BETTER STUDENT
Lord, remind me often through your inspiration of the obligations
as a student.
Make me observant of the responsibility which you have placed
upon me. I should make myself holy through my work in school and
prepare myself for my tasks in this world.
Let me never forget what a privilege it is to be able to devote so
many years of my youth entirely to study when other youths of my age,
who are perhaps gifted than I, must work in the fields or in a factory.
Page 73
When I am tempted to find fault with shortcomings of others, let
me be humble and honest enough to recall my own negligence in
performing my own duty.
Give me the courage to make up for the countless moments I have
wasted in school.
Make me a zealous student who studies with a purpose, reads with
reflection, and allows himself/herself to be advised by informed people so
that I may soon be an efficient worker in the vineyard of Your creation.
