On August 7, 1986, Letran-Calamba finally gained its autonomy from Letran-Intramuros with the installation of Rev. Fr. Tamerlane Lana, O.P., as its First President and Rector. With eight (8) program offerings granted with government recognition, the institution’s growth has been continuous.
Self-governing, the College has proven itself worthy of standing on its own. It has already produced graduates who brought laurels to the institution by passing the board examinations both in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Accountancy and Education.
These young professionals who excel in their chosen careers have started making a name not only in Letran as well. They have successfully penetrated the CALABARZON occupying respectable positions in reputable companies, banks, universities and colleges, hospitals and government agencies. Moreover, enterprising alumni have become successful entrepreneurs. These Letranites, together with their peers, participate in community projects as they respond positively to the challenges of the times.
The challenge posed by Letran’s philosophy of Culture, Conscience, Discipline and Excellence has been seriously taken as manifested by the simultaneous enhancement of instruction and expansion of facilities that marked the continuous development of the institution. It is clearly evident that the institution’s vision of obtaining full university status and becoming a Science and Technology Center in Region IV as well as a Center of Spiritual and Socio-Economic Development is gradually being realized. With strong leadership, commitment and unified effort, it need not take long before the institution’s vision becomes reality.
Letran Calamba, Moving Onward
What Letran-Calamba has achieved so far for the church and the country has inspired its community of religious and lay participants in the mission of reflecting in all its endeavors the search for truth, justice and peace for the glory of God, country and self.
