About the Institution
The plan of the Order of Saint Augustine to establish a school in Iloilo was conceived as early as the 1880's. Months later, permission was granted by both civil and religious authorities. On May 13, 1890, Fr. Manuel Diez Gonzales, apostolic commissary, communicated the approval of the Order. This was followed by the respective approbations of the Bishop of Jaro, Msgr. Leandro Arrue, given on September 4, 1890, and that of the Government on October 3, 1890. The Provincial Chapter held in Manila in 1893 appointed Fr. Manuel Gutierrez to take the lead in building the school, which the latter initiated by purchasing a lot. But the cornerstone of the school was not laid until 1895 when Fr. Fernando Llorente, the famed architect of the beautiful Janiuay (Iloilo) cemetery, took over the construction project. Fr. Joaquin Diaz, after putting up the Oton church, subsequently finished Llorente's work.
