Called “LIYAB + SILAB + ALAB,” this special gathering of leaders, teachers, and administrators from all Jesuit basic education schools in the country aims to promote the three major themes of the 35th General Congregation: Fire, Frontiers, and Friendship. The goals of the congress are:
To provide the participants the opportunities to discuss and explore new frontiers in the work of education (FRONTIER),
To inspire them towards greater generosity for the mission (FIRE),
To strengthen the network and friendship among our colleagues in practice and partners in mission (FRIENDSHIP).
During this sesquicentennial congress, Jesuit basic educators celebrate two journeys. First is the historical journey of the Jesuit missionaries who returned to the Philippines in the 19th Century to resume their mission. They eventually started their apostolate in education taking over the only primary school in Manila at athat time, the Escuela Municipal in 1859, later on elevated to an institution of secondary education and renamed Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1865.
The second journey we celebrate is our own 150-year evolution as Jesuit and lay educators in the
!
!
!
Philippines: the many blessings we have received and the growth of our mission over the years.
Both journeys have been guided by a power greater than ourselves--the Holy Spirit. It has been and will continue to be propelled by the inspiration of Christ’s Spirit as well as our own passion for the mission.
On its 150th year, our vessel--symbol not only for journey, but also for unity --is headed towards a voyage of discovery of new FRONTIERS, new apostolic challenges and needs. As we and our predecessors have done in the past, we will be able to fulfill our mission only if we forge new “friendships in the Lord” and discern where God’s wind will lead us.
In suggesting the title, Fr. Rene Javellana, SJ explains: “How about LIYAB for igniting passion for the mission, SILAB for starting a conflagration at the new frontiers of education, and ALAB for fueling a burning friendship in the Lord?”
The congress logo is based on the concept of JOURNEY, as symbolized by the vessel, which is guided by the Holy Spirit and fuelled by our own passion for the mission, both represented by the sail rendered as dove and flame.
IN CELEBRATION OF 150 YEARS OF JESUIT EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES,
the JESUIT BASIC EDUCATION SESQUICENTENNIAL CONGRESS will be held from July 12 to 14, 2009 at the Ateneo de Manila University. The keynote speakers are the Very REV. FR.

What distracts our students, and how can we get their attention for our lessons? When they spend most of their time in front of the computers and absorb information so easily from various media, how do we help them discern what is true from what is not? Ultimately our question is: How can we teach our students how to think?

We tell our students that “life after high school” is di!erent—but how have we prepared them for it? For this panel discussion, we have invited four of our alumni to “come home” and tell us frankly how we have or have not succeeded in equipping them for the real world. What are some of the things they wish we had taught them in high school, but for some reason, failed to do so. We hope this candid discussion on Jesuit education from those who matter the most will provoke us to take a hard look at our schools in order to improve our practice.

OVERVIEW OF THE SESQUICENTENNIAL CONGRESSJULY 12 !14, 2009
To the Congress Delegates,
The Peace of Our Lord.
I take this occasion to welcome and congratulate all of you for the Jesuit Basic Education Sesquicentennial Congress, “LIYAB + SILAB + ALAB.” What a meaningful way to celebrate the 150th year of Jesuits’ return to the Philippines, particularly, 150 years of Jesuit education in the country, when over 200 delegates from our schools all over the country will gather to listen to and learn from one another.
On this sesquicentennial year, we remember how on August 5, 1859, a group of Manila residents petitioned the Spanish Governor-General for the newly-arrived Jesuits to begin a school. The response from the Jesuit superior, Father Cuevas, was “No” because the Jesuits mission was to be in Mindanao. But the petitioners did not allow themselves to be easily defeated by this refusal. They represented and insisted. So, Father Cuevas met with his men to discuss the matter. In the end, he told them that the answer was still “no,” unless the Governor-General would issue an order in writing. On October 1, 1859, a decree was promulgated transferring the direction of the Escuela Pía to the Jesuits and renaming it the Escuela Municipal. Thus, on December 10, 1859, twenty-three boys came to class on the first day under the new management. By March of 1860, there were already 170 students.
In 1909, when that school was formally renamed the Ateneo de Manila, it had primary, secondary and tertiary levels well established. And since then, other Ateneos have been built in Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro, in Naga
and Davao, along with other schools from the former Chinese delegation, and likewise in many small parishes in Mindanao and Culion – schools driven by the same ideals of excellence, sapientia et eloquentia, of seeking to do more for love of God and neighbor and country.
Yes, in all that has happened in the last 150 years, it is good to be grateful, since after all, gratitude is the most basic of prayers, because it is a recognition that all is from God, and that the opportunity to take part in God’s work is a privilege not a right, a gift not an entitlement, that in the end it is the Lord that works through creation and gives it life anew.
I pray that this Congress will provide you with many opportunities: to give thanks and to celebrate, to learn new things, to share with one another, and most importantly, to bring home to your respective schools what you have learned and just as importantly, what has inspired you during this important gathering.
May this gathering strengthen your friendships with one another and fuel your fire for the mission as you search for new frontiers in this important mission of education!
Yours in the Lord,
FR. JOSE MAGADIA, SJProvincial Superior
Society of Jesus - Philippine Province
Message from theP r o v i n c i a l
Dear Delegates,
I can’t think of a warmer way to welcome you than to invoke the name of our Sesquicentennial Congress, which has not one, but three Filipino words for “fire” --each one with a different nuance. These three key words echo the themes of the recent 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus:
“LIYAB” means a sudden burst of flame, and it symbolizes inspiration and passion for our mission.
“SILAB” refers to a continuing conflagration of frontiers, and expresses our desired response to rise to today’s challenge of trailblazing in the field of education.
“ALAB” signifies the warmth of fire and feeling, which we hope will result from the strengthening of our bonds as “friends in the Lord.”
These three symbols also embody the three primary goals of this congress: To inspire, to learn, and to build friendships!
The Congress organizers are excited because we have exerted every effort to design a special experience for you:
the Intramuros tour on Sunday morning
the Province Eucharistic Celebration with Fr. General that afternoon
the keynote speeches on our mission in the mornings of the two days of the Congress proper
* the major conferences on various areas of our work on Monday afternoon, and
!
!
!
!
the range of workshops on a diversity of provocative topics and issues on education today on Tuesday afternoon.
Just as important: The evenings are reserved for celebration and community building.
We hope this Congress will be a unique opportunity for us not only to celebrate this important milestone in Jesuit education, but also to learn from the experts, converse with our colleagues, and realize what an exciting time it is to be in the field of education.
We thank all the organizers and especially all our benefactors and speakers who have generously shared their resources to make this Sesquicentennial Congress a reality.
We truly have much to be grateful for to the Lord as we celebrate not only the sesquicentennial year of Jesuit education in the Philippines, but also the 150th year of the return of the Jesuits to the country. With colleagues and partners such as ours, we also have much to look forward to as well!
May the fire the Lord Jesus ignites in our hearts during this gathering kindle other fires in the people we serve in our schools and in this nation we strive to build!

The thirty-"fth Superior General of the Society of Jesus may hail from the West, but he has dedicated most of his missionary life to the East. Reverend Father Adolfo Nicolas, SJ, the current leader of a congregation of more than 19,000 strong, was born in Spain in 1936 and attained his degree in theology at Tokyo’s Sophia University in 1964. Ordained a priest in 1967, he returned to his alma mater in Japan to complete his masteral and doctoral studies in theology. He subsequently taught systematic theology at Sophia University.
After serving as Director of the East Asian Pastoral Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University and then as Rector of the theologate in Tokyo, Father Nicolas was appointed Provincial of the Jesuit Province of Japan in 1993. In 2004, he was named President of the Jesuit Conference for Eastern Asia and Oceania, a post he maintained until he was elected Superior General in January 19, 2008.
In his keynote address, Father General will speak on what he considers the issues and challenges confronting Jesuit education today, especially in the light of the 35th General Congregation. He will share his insights and questions with the leaders and educators of the Jesuit education apostolate in the Philippines. He will also take this opportunity to listen to the experiences and concerns of our colleagues and partners in mission.

Reverend Father Bienvenido Nebres, SJ, current President of the Ateneo de Manila University, was born in Baguio City in 1940. He was ordained in 1956 and completed his Master of Science and Ph.D. in Mathematics at Stanford University, California from 1965 to1970. Fr. Nebres founded the Mathematical Society of the Philippines in 1972. That same year he helped establish the Southeast Asian Mathematical Society. After serving as Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences of Ateneo de Manila and then as Rector of the Loyola House of Studies, he was appointed Provincial Superior of the Jesuits in the Philippines from 1983-1989. As the longest-serving President of the Ateneo de Manila University, Fr. Nebres has initiated several key movements including the basic education development through the Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED), public health development through the Ateneo’s Leaders for Health Program and the establishment of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health.
In 1999, Fr. Nebres was inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame of the Asian Activities Center of Stanford University. Two years later, he was accorded the rank of O$cer in the National Order of Merit of the French Republic. In 2008, he was honored as among the Department of Science and Technology’s “50 Men and Women of Science.” No wonder Fr. Ben Nebres is today considered one of the Jesuit education icons in the Philippines and Asia.
In his keynote address, Fr. Nebres will discuss the role he envisions our basic education apostolate should play in the task of nation-building. He will joined by three panelists, who will be drawing from their own involvement in Ateneo de Manila University’s school improvement projects covering 430 public schools in Quezon City, Paranaque, Nueva Ecija, Leyte, La Union, and Negros Occidental.

“In all that has happened in the last 150 years, it is good to be grateful, since after all, gratitude is the most basic of prayers, because it is a recognition that all is from
God, and that the opportunity to take part in God’s work is a privilege not a right, a gift not an entitlement, that in the end it is the Lord that works through creation and gives it life anew.” (from the homily of Fr. Provincial, Jose Magadia, SJ, 14 June 2009, Manila Cathedral, Intramuros)
Founded in 1940 by Caceres Bishop, Msgr. Pedro P. Santos of Caceres, and Fr. Francis D. Burns SJ, Ateneo de Naga has grown leaps and bounds from the small high school (Camarines Catholic Academy) housed in the present Naga Parochial School run by the diocese. Jesuits just moved into the new building when World War II broke out in the Paci!c in 1941 and the school was converted into a local Fort Santiago by the Japanese Imperial Army until it reopened in 1946. In 1947, the school opened the college department with eighty-seven students. On October 26, 1953, the !rst !ve women were admitted to the College Department.It faced economic setbacks during Martial Law before eventually overcoming these troubles to land in 1991 DECS list of top 18 colleges and universities in the Philippines. On February 9, 1999, the Commission on Higher Education conferred the University Status to the Ateneo, with Fr. Raul Bonoan SJ as !rst University President. Fr. Joel Tabora SJ was installed as the second University President.On June 23, 2003, the Ateneo de Naga University High School in its new campus in Pacol, Naga City, welcomed 185 girls after 63 years of being exclusive for boys.

THE JESUIT BASIC EDUCATION COMMISSION
The oldest Ateneo campus, its story is rooted in the capital’s history – from war-torn Intramuros to bustling Loyola Heights, Quezon City. Its !rst motto, “In Merit and in Virtue” (Al merito y a la virtud) may well have guided its most famous alumnus and national hero, Jose Rizal during the turbulent end of the 19th century. Over a hundred years later, Ateneo de Manila continues to advocate the traditions of Celebrating Excellence, Deepening Spirituality and Building the Nation.

The Jesuits, having been expelled from Communist China, focused on their missionary work with the Chinese community in Iloilo. In 1958, Fr. Andrew Joliet, SJ and Fr. Santiago de Leon, SJ established the Santa Maria Catholic School (SMCS). Within a decade, the Philippine government recognized the school’s Chinese program and by 1970, SMCS held its !rst high school graduation. On its Silver Jubilee, the school underwent construction to build more classrooms and o"ces. In April 30, 2004, a Memorandum of Agreement signed by Jesuit Father Provincial Romeo J. Intengan, SMCS Director Fr. Manuel U Jr., SJ and Mr. Victor F. Pison o"cially renamed the school as Ateneo de Iloilo-Santa Maria Catholic School.

Tucked away in the Philippines’ answer to paradise is the Loyola College of Culion. Established in 1951 and once called the St. Ignatius Academy, it is considered a mission school and relies on benefactors for its maintenance. For SY 2009-2010, the LCC will o#er a course in tourism to help boost its co#ers.
The Sacred Heart School of the Society of Jesus is the !rst Chinese Jesuit School outside mainland China and was founded in 1954 by Fr. Paul O’Brien, then Superior of all Jesuit Missionaries in China. Members of the growing Catholic Chinese Community in Cebu convinced him of the need for a school to educate their children in their Christian faith, a school unheard of at the time. Since then, Sacred Heart has been at the helm of the spiritual, moral and academic formation of Cebuanos. In the 1970s, Fr. Pedro Arrupe, inspired the school to live as “Men and Women for Others”. In 1981, Pope John Paul II, made his !rst public address in Cebu to the faithful in the campus grounds of Sacred Heart School - Jesuit. The school has declared its goal of forming graduates according to “Christian witness, e#ective citizenship, service and leadership” for the Greater Glory of God.
Founded in 1933 by Jesuit missionary Fr. James T.G. Hayes, Xavier University has exuded “the spirit of learning and service, the spirit of purposeful scholarship” in the city of Cagayan de Oro. Fr. Edward Haggerty, SJ and Fr. Andrew Cervini, SJ worked tirelessly to rebuild the school after the war. Since then, Xavier University has contributed signi!cantly to the innovation in education, study of agriculture, the integration into Mindanao culture and the preservation of Philippine folklife.

Jesuit missionaries from China, led by founding Director Fr. Jean Desautels, Fr. Louis Papilla, and Fr. Cornelius Pineau established Xavier School on June 6, 1956 to minister to the growing number of Chinese-Filipino immigrants in Manila. The school, also named Kuang Chi, soon became the leading Catholic school for Chinese Filipinos and its rapid expansion prompted its transfer in 1960 (and eventually relocated) to its current location in Greenhills, San Juan. Having recently celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 2006, Xavier continues to study and implement educational innovations and to cultivate Chinese-Filipino youths who are well integrated into Philippine society.
