MIRIA M C OLLE GE A n n u al Report 2 0 1 1 -2 0 1 2
It is my great pleasure to share with
you some highlights of the past year at
Miriam College.
6
School Year 2011-2012 marked Miriam
College’s 85th anniversary and an
opportunity for the MC community to
celebrate our achievements and to
recognize the hard work and dedication
of our teachers, students and
administrators. I like to think that we
have kept the best of the lessons that
we learned from our Maryknoll founders
while we have embraced opportunities
for innovation in teaching to grow the
talents and abilities of our students
and staff. Miriam College, true to its
roots, is a school dedicated to
innovation, creativity, and growth—in
teaching and in learning and as an
institution! Our goal is, quite simply, to
improve the overall student experience.
Foremost in the Maryknoll heritage
and the MC mission is the importance of
meaningful student-centered teaching.
We can see this dynamism in the
satisfaction of our students, in the
development of our faculty and staff,
and in the effectiveness of our programs.
I am personally proud of the way in
which we at MC have developed and
grown the STEM program and have
made our girls and young women leaders
in the fields of Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math, areas traditionally
dominated by men. We continue to
distinguish ourselves as a school
providing outstanding educational
opportunities in these fields.
Part of our emphasis on developing
our girls’ skill and knowledge in STEM
led us to the application of e-learning
tools to enhance the teaching and
learning experience inside and outside
the classroom. Working and living in
the 21st century requires an expanded
set of skills and competencies particularly in the digital and global education
spheres, and we want to make sure our
faculty, students, and graduates excel in
these.
I think it worth mentioning that
we have invested more heavily in our
teachers as they serve as front line of
the school. They ensure that our students
receive the best education possible.
Not only have some of our best teachers
furthered and expanded their training
through seminars and workshops at
top notch institutions such as Harvard
University and Phillips Exeter Academy,
but they have taken these lessons and
spread them throughout the classrooms,
infecting our young learners with a
greater appreciation and understanding
of their disciplines, encouraging them
to explore, develop and further their
intellectual gifts. I believe that student
and faculty satisfaction is at a record
high.
Miriam College’s growth and expansion goes beyond strengthening and
developing our students and teachers.
We have also decided to invest in a
new venture, MC-NUVALI. MC-NUVALI
is an opportunity for Miriam College to
stake a claim, to build a new school in
Nuvali, Laguna, South of Metro Manila.
We have committed to carving this
space, crafting a co-educational school
in a new Ayala Land development. We
are in the process of drawing up plans
for the infrastructure, finding the right
teachers and staff, opening our doors
for the students to come. We face a
unique challenge and I hope that you
will join in our excitement and spread
the word.
As we celebrate our history and
achievements, we move forward with
fierce determination to reach even
greater heights, committed to our QRS:
Quality - in our Programs, in
our Teaching, in our Research, in our
Services
Relevance - to our Mission, to
society, to our students, and to 21st
century life and learning
Sustainability - through
efficient management of the institution
and its resources
We have imbibed these as the core
characteristics of our work so that we
remain focused on our goals and
mission—that Miriam College’s impact
on its students and the larger community
would be truly felt and enduring.
The entire Miriam College community expresses its deep gratitude to all
its partners and friends for journeying
with us for the past 85 years. It has
been a wonderful and inspiring journey.
Rosario O. Lapus, Ph.D.
President, Miriam College
PROGRAMS
We will continue to focus on maintaining high academic
standards at all levels and areas, and developing innovative,
relevant and student-centered programs that respond to
multiple intelligences and are supported by solid research.

Stepping Up for STEM
MIRIA M C OLLE GE A n n u al Report 2 0 1 1 -2 0 1 2
A special area of focus in the Basic
Education Unit (BEU) this school year
was STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) which
was given more emphasis in the
curriculum and instruction across
levels. Miriam College took on the
challenge of engaging its students in
these subjects through new
methodologies, programs and activities.
8
Building-up on the innate curiousity
of preschoolers, the Child Study
Center (CSC) integrated projects and
activity-based lessons that were
essential to experiential learning and
critical thinking. Examples of these
activities included trips to the grocery
to teach them how to use money and
conducting experiments to find out
which objects sink and float as a lesson
on buoyancy. These methods of instruction allowed
young students to use simple scientific
skills of observation, exploration,
interaction with the environment, and
experimentation; discover the wise
use of technology; develop creativity,
problem-solving, and critical thinking
skills; develop skills in analyzing,
reasoning, and communicating using
various media. The CSC students were
also exposed to role models. Experts
in STEM fields were invited to share
about their professional work.
The Grade School unit engaged students
in collaborative projects in the classroom
and stimulating field trips to develop
interest in STEM fields. To enhance
learning in STEM, Concrete-PictorialAbstract approach in teaching Math
was initiated from Grades 1 to 7. The
use of laboratory sheets designed
by Science teachers to help students
develop and enhance scientific attitudes
and skills are now used across levels. Appropriate features and
methodologies of the Singapore Math
and Science curricula were employed
this school year starting with Grade 1. A workshop for parents was also
conducted to familiarize them with the
Introduced to a pilot batch of first year high school students, the Tablet serves as an interactive
tool that help students organize their work, collaborate with others and create multi-media
presentations.
principles behind Singapore Math and
Science.
On its second year, the Inventors’
Convention showcased investigatory
projects of Grade 4 students. Standardized investigatory project
guidelines were established for
Grades 5 to 7 to prepare them for
formal presentations of their project
outcomes. A student Math training
pool for inter-school competitions
was formed this year and specialized
faculty training in STEM areas were
undertaken at the local and
international levels. More intensive activities were introduced
in the High School unit this year. Now
on its fourth year, the SciMaX (Science
and Math Exposition) featured students’
Science investigatory projects, Math
Made Extreme activities, and Science
Music Video Awards, among others. Some of the projects showcased
include determination of the optimal
sports brassiere cut, conversion of
polyethylene into biofuel, effect of leg
length and circumference on running
speed, and microbial analysis of street
food. The Programs of Excellence
(ProEx) in Math, Science, and English
continue for gifted students as well as
the Learning Enhancement and
Advancement Program (LEAP) for
those who are challenged in these
learning areas.
The e-Learning Tool Project was set-up
for implementation in school year 20122013. It involves the use of the Acer
Iconia Tab A200 PC tablets by first year
students as a teaching and learning aid
in the classroom. This pilot program
also features the Genyo Online Learning
Management System, a fully-integrated
online learning management system
for basic education in the Philippines
developed by Diwa Learning Systems, Inc. Lectures will be delivered using digital
presentations that are supported by
the latest data, graphics, and videos to
enhance academic engagement and
retention. Applications on the device
will also encourage student-teacher
collaboration as well as interaction
and engagement in class activities. With these steps, we are changing the
culture of instruction by developing
a different mind-set that extends the
classroom beyond its four walls and
preparing our students for the digital
future. An accompanying guidebook on the
use of the tablet and relevant policies
was developed as well as masteryoriented practice books and
laboratory manuals for Science and
Mathematics which were written by
the faculty themselves. An exciting
development is the on-going research
for a possible Robotics program as
part of the curriculum.
The Miriam College-Southeast Asian
Institute for the Deaf (MC-SAID) and
Miriam Adult Education (MAE) programs
have also highlighted STEM in their
programs.
These activities engage students in
more Scientific learning methods and
critical thinking.
This year, the Miriam Adult Education
(MAE) initiated programs to enhance
its Math and Science curriculum.
Among these were weekly Math
Clinic sessions for Mathematicallychallenged student; and Math
Enhancement classes during the
summer. An annual Math and Science
Week was also launched for the basic
education group which involved
competitions and a showcase of Science
experiments. Students of the basic
education programs were exposed to
computer hardware (with focus on
troubleshooting), food technology,
and hair and beauty care technology
through various modules during the
MAE Alternative Classes Week.
While Math is not a required subject
in other Technical Vocational schools,
it is required in MAE. All students of
Computer Hardware Servicing and
Hotel and Restaurant Services are
now required to take Business Math
and Math for Electronics, giving them
some advantage in these courses. Technology and Engineering were also
integrated in MAE’s Technical Vocational
courses such as automotive and small
Still in line with its STEM programs, the
school took on some networking
initiatives with key local and
international institutions and
organizations to gain support and
establish linkages. Exploratory meetings
were held with the Department of
Sciencev and Technology (DOST)
Secretary Mario Montejo and with the
Philippine Science High School (PSHS)
through DOST- Science Education
Institute (DOST-SEI). The school also
met up with AGHAM Party List
Congressman Angelo Palmones, who
donated magnifying glasses to Grade 1
students. NCGS Membership
Miriam College is the first Asian
overseas affiliate of the National
Coalition of Girls Schools (NCGS),
a leading advocate of girls’ education
with a distinct commitment to the
transformative power of all-girls
schools. In June 2011, a delegation from the Basic Education Unit, led
by the President, participated in the
NCGS Symposium on Advancing Girls
in STEM at Wellesley College. This was
followed by benchmarking activities
with high-performing secondary
girls’ schools in Massachusetts and
prestigious universities in nearby
states that support meaningful
learning in the STEM fields and
communication arts: Dana Hall,
Emerson College, Franklin D. Olin
College of Engineering, Tufts
University Center for Engineering
Education Outreach, Harvard
University, Concord Academy, and the
Asian University for Women.
The MC Science Garden
A major component of the school’s
STEM program is the institutional
Science Garden, which will serve as a
living laboratory for students across
all levels. Research and design of
the garden is on-going with the aim
to make it an outdoor classroom, a
teaching and learning space that will
provide meaningful hands-on
educational experiences on fundamental
scientific concepts.
Sustained Articulation Efforts
Through the strong collaboration
among the Basic Education Units, led
by the Director of Basic Education,
initiatives to ensure a seamless
basic education curriculum continue
with intensive articulation sessions
between Kindergarten and Grade 1. Miriam College administrators, led by Dr. Rosario O. Lapus, attend the National Coaltiion
for Girls School (NCGS) Symposium on Advancing Girls in STEM at Wellesley College
in Massachusetts.

Although a highly specialized unit,
Miriam College-Southeast Asian
Institute for the Deaf (MC-SAID)
took steps towards enriching the
learning experiences of its students
towards STEM themes. Interest
in these fields is developed among
students through the integration of
more hands-on activities on Science
topics. Some examples of these are
exploring how a volcanic eruption
occurs through group experiments,
investigating basic cell structures using
a cheek cell sample, and employing
scale-modeling skills in creating a diorama
of an ecosystem. engine, computer hardware, consumer
electronics, food technology, and hair
and beauty care technology. 9
Basic Education Commission National
Summit on K to 12. The summit was
attended by about 1,200 representatives,

On its third year, the Teacher
Exchange Program (TEP) between
Grade 7 and First Year High School
focused on the strengthening of
requisite skills and content knowledge
in discipline-based learning in English,
Mathematics, and Science. This resulted
in a more systematic streamlining of
content coverage in Grades 6 and 7
and First Year High School. Continuous
curriculum review and development
are based on the Department of
Education’s (DepEd) K to 12 program,
with provisions for continuing
development.
K to 12-ready
In compliance with the proposed K to
12 program under President Benigno
S. Aquino III’s Education Reform
Agenda, discussions on curriculum
enhancements in the Basic Education
Unit (BEU) were initiated by the
Principals. The discussions commenced
in July 2011 under the supervision of
the Director for Basic Education.
The series of meetings resulted in the
creation of a basic model for K to 12,
which is based on the Department of
Education’s guidelines: age of entry
and graduation; the school’s vision,
mission, goals; 2 011-2016 Strategic
Plan, as well as the history of the entry
age in the Child Study Center (CSC). The model provides for a one-time
mass acceleration scheme commencing
in SY 2013-2014 and a guaranteed
curriculum enhancement effective SY
2012-2013. Through this reconfigured
basic education cycle, the school will
be able to meet the government’s K
to 12 requirments with great ease.
The basic model was accepted by the
DepEd in March 2012. In his letter,
DepEd Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro
expressed with great confidence that
Miriam College will meet the learning
standards and competencies set by the
Department for both elementary and
secondary Levels. A serious assessment on the impact
of the K to 12 Program on the HEU
was conducted and some initial action
points were identified including the
development of career-focused short
courses for high school graduates. Miriam College administrators were
also tapped as consultants for the K to
12 reform agenda at the national level.
Dr. Edizon A. Fermin, High School
principal, worked with the DepEd K to
12 Learning Area Team for Languages
and Multiliteracies. Together with CSC
Principal, Ms. Trixie Marie Sison, he
is also a member of the Commission on
Higher Education’s (CHED) Technical
Panel for Teacher Education which is
also concerned with the K to 12 initiative.
On January 12, 2012, the school
hosted the Catholic Educational
Association of the Philippines (CEAP)
Child Study Center (CSC)
This school year, the CSC adopted the
integrative curriculum approach, which
applies an interdisciplinary teaching
method wherein the academic
curriculum is centered on a topic rather
than divided into separate subjects.
Through this approach, traditional
subject areas such as Math, Language,
Social Studies and Science, are all
taught together while focusing on a
specific theme. This allows students
to make connections between different
areas as they explore a topic in detail
and from a variety of approaches.
In order to come up with an
integrated curriculum, curricular
revisions were done to align topics
according to themes. Relevant
experiential activities were also
infused in the lessons to make learning
more meaningful. Resource speakers
recognized in their respective fields
were invited to share their
knowledge and talk about their work
to the children. Most of them were
parents and former students of Miriam
College. Exposure to the outside
world was done through mini-field
trips. A visit to the grocery, restaurant,
fire station, police station and the like
made learning more interesting. Various experiential activities like
jeepney and tricycle rides and
experiments were also done for children
to understand their world better. The Seven Habits of Happy Kids by
Sean Covey was emphasized in CSC’s
programs across levels. It was
systematically infused in the daily
routine of the children with the aim
of guiding them in the formation of
desirable habits and attitudes.
The CSC addressed multiple intelligences
through its method of instruction and
in the design of its activities. Efforts
in this area include focused training
for faculty towards becoming more
knowledgeable in Special Education
(SPEd) and developmentally
appropriate practices and
approaches in early childhood
education.
Grade 4 students showcase their investigatory project at the Inventor’s Convention,
one of the Grade School unit’s activities under its STEM program.
Grade School
Recognizing multiple intelligences
among its learners, the Grade School
this year implemented a restructured
grading system. Aside from written
tests and examinations, rubrics for all
subject areas were created to
standardize the grading of non-written
assessments. Weights were
redistributed in order to give equal
premium on performance, oral tests,
projects, homeworks, among others. Reduction of class sizes also continue
to make the learning and teaching
process more meaningful for both
student and teacher. The curriculum is periodically evaluated
and updated to ensure it remains
relevant across levels and that it
consistently applies student-centered
methodologies and standard procedures. The Grade School’s PERFORMS
(Program Enrichment for Reading,
Mathematics, and Science) in Reading
was expanded this school year to
cover Grade 2 to aid them in learning
specific skills in the subject area. On
the other hand, the STRIDES (Student
Training In Developing and Enhancing
Science, Math, and English Skills)
program was also enhanced to enable
academically-gifted students from
Grades 3 to 7 to experience even
more challenging offerings. Both
STRIDES and PERFORMS are held after
classes.
High School
The High School grading system was
reviewed with focus on learnercenteredness and multiple intelligences.
The unit issued a revised grading system
that does not transmute grades,
with 75% as the passing rate. It also
expanded the letter-marking scheme
to have nine finer marks that show
clearer progress indicators. Under its
new Learning Assessment Standards
and Scheme or LASS, the new
distribution of grades accounts for
normality and allows learners to
take options for extra credit towards
enhanced performance. In preparation
for the new K to 12 national curriculum
transition, the unit conducted a
curriculum development workshop.
This facilitated the reorganization of
the academic program from eight
academic departments into five:
1. Natural and Engineering Sciences
(includes Human Kinetics/Sports
Science)
2. Mathematics and Computational
Science
3. Arts and Humanities (English,
Filipino, Creative and Performing
Arts)
4. Social Sciences (Social Studies,
Christian Life, and Foreign
Languages/Cultures)
5. Business and Trades (replacing
the traditional Technology and
Home Economics program)
The refined curriculum for
implementation in SY 2012-2013,
emphasized content and performance
standards to reflect degrees of
proficiency and mastery of knowledge,
skills, and values. In addition, the unit
will use a trimester calendar with a
rationalized assessment scheme using
varied authentic and alternative
assessment tools and processes.
To complement e-learning, the High
School Library Media Center (LMC)
developed the Web Assist program, a
free on-line pathfinder for High School
students and teachers for relevant and
authentic discipline-based data
access, retrieval, and management.
The system allows the facilitation
of on-line services with the High

Effective this year, the MC-SAID
mainstreamed its pre-school students
in Child Study Center classes . Five
Nursery and two Kinder MC-SAID
students attended CSC Arts and Play
classes and participated in the “100
Days of School” activity. To prepare
the CSC teachers for the inclusion of
deaf children in their classes, an
orientation was conducted by MCSAID administrators for concerned
teachers from both units including the
students. The experience allowed
the deaf students to gain new friends
and develop their self-esteem while
the hearing students of CSC had a
chance to communicate with their
deaf counterparts. Both groups were
very welcoming and understanding of
each other. To maximize the students’ potential
for learning, facilities were upgraded
in partnership with the Parent-Teacher
of the Deaf Action Group (PTDAG).
Multi-media equipment were installed
in all classrooms and special learning
centers such as the Activity Room for
the Preschool, Speech Room, Library
and two Audio Visual Rooms. Each
set of equipment consisted of a 24inch LCD TV and an HDMI-capable
DVD player, providing more visually
stimulating presentations for effective teaching and learning.

Miriam Adult Education (MAE)
MAE was absorbed into the Basic
Education Unit this school year. With
this development, it implemented
new standards in line with the other
units. The retention grade for high
school and the grading system in
elementary and high school as well
as some processes and systems were
adjusted in an effort to harmonize the
different areas of the BEU. The Library
Media Center of the other Basic
Education Units were also opened to
MAE teachers. MAE opened its Technical Vocational
program to deaf students in June
2011. The first batch, composed
of five students, was selected and
screened by the MC-SAID and its partner
organization, LINK Center for the Deaf.
These students were from urban
poor communities in Caloocan and
graduates of public high schools. They
completed the course in Bread and
Pastry Production NC II from the MAE
and passed the national assessment
conducted by Technical Education and
Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
in March 2012. All MAE students who
took the TESDA national assessment
passed and were awarded with
National Certificate Level II or Certificate
of Competency.
Networking efforts continue, helping
keep MAE relevant to its publics. This year, MAE renewed its membership
in the Technical Vocational Schools
Association of the Philippines (TeVSAPhil)
and the Philippine Society of Certified
TESDA Assessors and Trainers (PhilSCAT).

its consistent 100% passing rate in the
Licensure Examination for Teachers
(LET) for the BS Child Development
and Education graduates. 14
The CDE program ensures the holistic
training of its students through
partnerships with the Ateneo Grade
School, Alternative Learning Resource
School Philippines, Eucharistiana
Center for Special Children, and Laro,
Lapis at Libro Transition School. It has
also partnered with the Child Study
Center and Grade School. To further
expose its graduating students to
non-traditional preschool settings, a
student volunteer program has been
initiated. Under the program, students
immerse in The British School Manila,
Summit School, Creative Children
Learning Center, and The Raya School
during their semestral break.
The Child Development and Education
Circle, the co-curricular arm of the
CDE program, with the department,
also offers seminars and training sessions
to keep students abreast with current
issues and trends in the field of education. LET-takers who are deaf, however,
continue to be at a disadvantage. To
address this concern, the College initiated
meetings with the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC) to
review the type of evaluation tools
used to assess the competencies of
would-be deaf teachers. To date,
more discussions at various levels are
expected with the hope of providing a
more appropriate and fair assessment
for deaf individuals aspiring for the
Licensure.
Recognizing the deaf’s special needs,
the College of Education developed
a modified Special Education (SPED)
comprehensive examination for the
Masteral level for deaf students. This
practical, skills-based approach delivered positive results on its first year of
implementation.
A Certificate in Special Education was
also offered in SY 2012-2013. The
program is composed of courses from
the Master of Arts in Education, and
Master in Education major in Special
Education programs designed to meet
current market demands.
College of International, Humanitarian
and Development Studies (CIHDS)
For the past 16 years, International
Studies students have been participating
in the Model United Nations of the Far

prepearation for the conference. The
61st Session of the MUNFW, held in
April 2011 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel
in San Francisco, California, USA,
was attended by about 600 students
coming from more than 30 American
colleges and universities. This year’s
theme was “People on the Move:
Urbanization, Migration and Forced
Displacement”. The Migration Studies program, in
collaboration with Miriam CollegeWomen and Gender Institute (MCWAGI), convened a number of
fora and lectures to deliberate current migration concerns and issues such as the following:“Laban
Kontra Human Trafficking, Laban
Nating Lahat!”, “Bagong Bayani
Discourse: Construction of Filipino
Migrant Workers and Overseas
Employment Policies”, and Filipino
Women Migrant Health Workers
Composing their Lives.” These
lectures were attended by students
and representatives of government
agencies such as the Philippine
Senate, House of Representatives
Committee on Overseas Workers
Affairs, Department of Labor and
Employment-Institute of Labor
Studies (DOLE-ILS), Overseas Workers
Welfare Administration (OWWA),
National Statistics Office (NSO) and
the Philippine Overseas Employment
Administration (POEA); nongovernment organizations such as
Development Alternatives with
Women for a New Era (DAWN),
Women’s Legal Bureau (WLB), Migrant
Forum in Asia (MFA); and international
organization such as the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
The enhanced Social Work program,
launched in 2008, continues to attract
students into its two tracks namely,
Humanitarian Affairs and Corporate
Social Work. This year, the program
offered its first International Field
Placement. Naw Phaw Wah (supported
by Thabyay Foundation), a Burmese
national and the first graduate of
the enhanced Social Work Program,
availed of this opportunity by
conducting her field work and working
with abandoned Burmese children
along the Thai-Burma border. A minor
in Social Work is also offered to Child
Development and Education
undergraduates who want to pursue
careers in the area of social development. Enrollment also continues in the
Social Work Professional program for
individuals already immersed in the
field but have yet to earn their degree
in the program. The school sees the
Social Work program as relevant and,
at the same time, viable vis-á-vis its
mission and vision, and the needs of
communities and societies today. New Institutional Scholarship and Aid
Program (ISAP)
As a result of an institution-wide
review of scholarship programs, the
new Institutional Scholarship and Aid
Program (ISAP) was drawn up to
integrate all existing forms of scholarship
and aid provided by the school’s
academic units, offices, and advocacy
centers under a philosophy of
democratizing access to MC programs
and promoting quality and diversity. An institutional Scholarship Committee
was formed headed by the Vice President
for Academic Affairs.
This year, the amount raised for the
Endowment Fund has reached PhP
81 million against the PhP 75 million
target set on the school’s 75th
anniversary. The Fund is a supplement
to the school’s overall scholarship
program for students as well as for
faculty development initiatives. General
guidelines were established on the
utilization of the fund, giving equal
emphasis to academic excellence while
responding to financial need.
The Research and Publications Management Office (RPMO), headed by Dr. Jose Reuben
Alagaran (above), laid out its agenda for Miriam College and held workshops and seminars to
encourage a culture of research among the faculty and members of the community.
Revitalized Research Culture
Several initiatives were undertaken
through the Research and Publications
Management Office (RPMO) to
encourage a vibrant research culture
in Miriam College. The outcome of
the summer Institutional Research
Agenda Workshop was a five-year
institutional Research Agenda (20112015). For the years 2011-2012, the
research agenda focused on the
following areas: impact assessment of
advocacy center programs; studies on
quality and standards of MC education;
institutional development and graduate
tracer studies; technology and
education; and disaster mitigation and
management studies. Coordination between the RPMO
and units/centers was enhanced
through strategic planning sessions
for the design of unit-level research
agenda. Research Committees were
formed in the Higher Education and
Basic Education units while the RPMO
closely monitored research activities
of the different units/centers. This year, the Research Grants Program,
which is internally-funded, was
launched in support of research initiatives
of faculty and other employees. Guidelines for submission and
instruments for evaluation were
developed together with attractive
incentives to motivate more groups
and individuals to conduct research
projects. The first grantees were
teachers from the Child Study Center,
Grade School and High School, who
conducted studies on best practices in
the BEU: “Best Practices in Teaching
Science and Mathematics at the Child
Study Center”; “Miriam College Grade
School Students’ Perception of the
Best Practices in Teaching Math and
Science”; and “Best Practices in Teaching
and Learning Mathematics and
Science at Miriam College High
School”. In the HEU, these research projects include

Research”.
Partnerships with the Commission
on Higher Education and the
Consortium on Women’s Colleges
(CWC) on research initiatives continue
and more organized link-ups with
other research organizations, both
locally and internationally, were
established. These organizations
included Philippines Communication

Center for Peace Education (CPE)
The CPE continues to deliver Peace
Education and Conflict Resolution
training to faculty and students across
units, and at the same time provided
leadership in implementing the
Catholic Educational Association of the
Philippines (CEAP) Peace Education
Thrust. The CPE Executive Director,
Dr. Loreta Castro, and Associate
Director, Dr. Jasmin Galace, served
as resource persons at the National
Convention and some regional
assemblies and fora of the CEAP. Dr.
Galace was appointed Chairperson of
the CEAP Committee on Justice and
Peace Education. Given this capacity, she
visited schools and gave talks to parents,
faculty and students on peace topics
such as challenging bullying and nonviolent communication.
The CPE was at the forefront
of lobbying and campaigning efforts
towards the support for a strong
Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in the
Philippines, calling for an ATT that will
make sure that transfer of arms will
not be used to commit human rights
violations, armed violence, including
sex and gender-based violence and
will not hamper the States’ efforts at
poverty reduction and sustainable
development. It is desired that the
campaign will ensure a treaty that will
regulate trading of all conventional
weapons including small arms and
light weapons and ammunition. This
will culminate in the handing over
by the CPE Associate Director of the
global peoples’ petition for a strong
ATT to United Nations Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon at the UN office in New
York.
Among the Center’s continuing activities
are capacity-building workshops on
Integrating Peace Education into the
Teacher Education Curriculum for various
schools and groups, including colleges
of education. They also continue to
give workshops on Interfaith Peacebuilding for Muslim and Christian
youth.
Workshops on the National Action Plan
for the Implementation of UNSCR
1325 (UN Security Council Resolution
1325 on Women, Peace and Security) were also conducted for the Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP),
Philippine National Police (PNO), UN
Peacekeepers, local government units,
civil society organizations, among
others.
The CPE also coordinated the publication
of a book documenting the initiatives
of the WE Act 1325 Network (Women
Engaged in Action for UNSCR 1325), in
cooperation with the Global Network
of Women Peacebuilders.
Miriam Advocacy Centers (MACs)
Aside from ensuring the internalization
of the school’s core values by the
members of the community, the
Miriam Advocacy Centers continue
to create impact externally, both at
the national and international levels,
through active engagement in major
institutions and networks, providing
training/lectures, undertaking research, and organizing mobilization
initiatives, among other advocacy
work.
The Center for Peace Education conducts capacity-building workshops for different organizations
and institutions all over the Philippines.

25-year contact with the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR) to co-manage 180 hectares of
land within the Kaliwa Watershed in
Baranay Laiban, Tanay, Rizal. The project
involves protection of natural habitats,
ecohistorical tourism, agroforestry,
and community education. These
programs are being implemented
in the context of increasing the
capacities of host communities,
specifically the upland farmers and
indigenous peoples. One of the components of the project
is a scholarship program, which began
in 2005. The program maintains
about 30 scholars a year, who receive
monthly allowances, school supplies
and uniforms from the school. Three
college students, eight high school
and 33 elementary students have
graduated under the program. Under
the reforestation component of the
SSMWC , a total of 19 hectares have
been reforested with indigenous tree
species and fruit trees by means of
rainforestation and assisted natural
regeneration. Community activities are
also regularly conducted in the area
such as immersions and project
implementation in collaboration
with the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) and through the
school’s volunteer and capabilitybuilding programs: Gurong Lingkod,
which provides numeracy and literacy
training for the community as well
as engages them in athletics through
sports clinics; and Lingap Bulilit, which
increases the teaching capacity of day
care teachers and volunteer teacherparents. Several researches have
been undertaken by students and
faculty of the Environmental Planning
Management course and by other
departments as well.
On the on-going reforestation project

Think Safe! Building a Culture of
Safety and Security
In January 2012, the Office of the
Vice President for Development and
Resource Management (OVPDRM)
spearheaded a campus-wide campaign
to build a culture of safety and
security among students, parents and
employees. The aim is to develop in
each person a sense of responsibility for
ensuring their safety and security, and
that of others. Giving emphasis to
individual and collective awareness and
action, the campaign, called “Think
Safe”, promotes safety in various
situations such as inclement weather,
disasters, traffic, cyber exposure,
among other threats. The initiative
was launched with the distribution of
whistles to students and employees to
serve as both a symbol of the campaign
and an instrument for alerting people
during emergencies.
Employee Benefits
The Flexible Benefits or FLEXBEN
program, which allows permanent
employees to select the components
of their benefits according to their
needs (e.g. health insurance premium
of dependents, increased PAG-IBIG
contributions, gasoline allowance, and
gadget acquisition, among others), is
now on its second year of
implementation. Added to previous
benefits choices were School Tuition
Fee, Medicine, Training, Travel
Reimbursements, Medical Cash
24
Reimbursement, Books and Office
Supplies, and Memorial Plan. Employees who opted for this mode
were very pleased with the flexibility
in programming their benefits according
to their personal priorities. From 60%
of the total qualified employees who
availed themselves of this program,
77% are now enjoying the FLEXBEN. The Human Resources Division
continues to find ways to further
enhance and optimize this program.
Through the HRD, the school
establishes partnerships with housing
developers for affordable housing and
easy payment arrangements. The
HRD provides assistance to employees
on loan facilitation requirements.
Avida Land Corporation, a subsidiary
of Ayala Land is now among Miriam
College’s partners joining Top Rank
Realty Marketing Corporation, developer
of LAROSSA in Capitol Hills, Quezon
City; Phinma Properties for Sophia
Bellevue also in Capitol Hills; SM

Residences in Katipunan Avenue,
Quezon City; Greenbrier Subdivision
for Marigold Homes in San Mateo,
Rizal. Avida Land Corporation offers
special payment schemes for employees
interested in building their homes in
its affordable Avida Village and Avida
Settings development project in
Nuvali, Laguna.
The Annual Physical Examination was
upgraded this year to include additional
tests such as Lipid Profile and Hepatitis
Screening. The upgrade is in
preparation for the age-appropriate medical examination requirements
which will become the core of the
APE. Through the HRD, the school
also looks after the employees’ health
by offering Pneumonia And Influenza
vaccines at much lower prices through
the HRD’s partnership with Healthway
Medical. This offer is extended to
family members of employees.
One of the first initiatives under the Think Safe Campaign was the distribution of whistles
among employees and students accross all units.
A credit line facility with Mercury
Drug is also now in place, which allows
eligible employees to use this credit
facility to purchase medicines.
The school continues to expand its
laptop and gadget acquisition program
through its partnerships with Power
Mac Center and Acer Philippines.
Employees have availed of various
products under this program for their
personal and professional use.

100 years of the Maryknoll Sisters
The centennial celebration of the
Maryknoll Sisters began this year with
a solemn inaugural Eucharistic
celebration on January 6, 2012 held
at the Marian Auditorium. The
centennial theme was “Making God’s
Love Visible” to express the growing
congregational consciousness of
This celebration forms a significant
part of Miriam College’s history,
whose tradition emanates from the
Maryknoll Sisters’ inspiring work and
journey. Miriam College was founded
by the Maryknoll Sisters in 1926,
when the Archbishop of Manila, then
Reverend Michael O’ Doherty,
requested the Sisters of the Maryknoll
Congregation in New York to initiate a
teacher-training program for women
in the Philippines. The Malabon
Normal school was established in an
old remodeled Augustinian Convent in
Malabon, Rizal. The school moved to
other sites several times until it finally
settled in Loyola Heights, Quezon City
in 1953 with the name Maryknoll
College. Virtues and inpiring quotes
and experiences of the Maryknoll
Sisters were collected in a Centennial
Pocket calendar produced with
assistance from the External Affiars
Office. The pages of the calendar
included monthly reflections from the
Sisters and members of the Miriam
College community on Mother Mary
Joseph’s qualities of a Maryknoll
Sister and the Centennial Theme.
The calendar was also a fundraiser in
support of the Maryknoll Sisters.
On campus, a Centennial Garden of
Gratitude and Promise is being built
in commemoration of the Maryknoll
Sisters and will be launched at the
culmination of the Jubilee in January
2013.
Coinciding with the Maryknoll Sisters’
100th year of founding, Sister Virginia
Fabella, MM, celebrated her 60th
anniversary in her religious life. Sister
Virginia taught in Maryknoll College
from 1958 to 1965 and continues to
be present in the community. On
March 16, 2012, the school gave Sister
Virginia a special tribute, “Celebrating
60 Years of Mission.” Colleagues from
past and present affiliations shared
testimonials of how Sister Virginia
remained committed to her advocacy.
Also in attendance were her former
students from HS class ’58 to HS class
‘65 who shared fond memories of
their beloved teacher.
Alumni Partners
Our alumni classes through the
Maryknoll/Miriam College Association
(MMCAA) remain strong partners as

Revised Organizational Structure
28
The Board of Trustees approved the
revised organizational structure, which
now includes the revived position of the
Vice President for Academic Affairs
(VPAA), replacing the office of the Vice
President for Higher Education. The
VPAA is responsible for the supervision
and coordination of the basic and
higher education units, advocacy
and service resource centers as well
as the Research and Publications
Management Office. The position
of Vice President for Development
and Resource Management (VPDRM)
was created to oversee and provide
management of the school’s financial
and human resources, administrative
processes, information and
communication technologies and the
school’s external relations. The VPDRM
is also responsible for providing
leadership and direction for the strategic
sourcing out of grants and funds for
the various needs of the school, and is
directly involved in the development
and implementation of the institution’s
strategic plan.
New councils were created and
committees were renamed into councils
to clearly define the roles of the
different decision-making channels.
Among these were the Basic Education
The Basic Education Council visited the Mind Museum to assess it as a possible educational
destination for students.
Council, Higher Education Executive
Council (EXECON) , Miriam Advocacy
Centers Council (MACs) and Miriam
Service Resource Centers Council.
Streamlining of finance and administrative operations of the advocacy and
special resource centers was undertaken through a series of consultative
meetings with the Vice President for
Academic Affairs, Finance Director and
Human Resources Director to facilitate
a closer integration of their programs
into the school’s academic life and
administrative systems. A special
strategic planning workshop was also
conducted with the centers to
align their roles with institutional
goals.
Guided by the President’s QRS (Quality, Relevance and Sustainability), administrators from
the different units, offices and centers came together to lay-out plans for 2011-2016.
Rationalization of office functions and
positions were undertaken through
the office of the VPDRM in order to
streamline the units, centers and offices
under the new organizational structure.
Quality assurance was also emphasized
through the Office of the VPAA, which
was tasked to ensure that high standards are met in the development and
implementation of curricular, and
extra-curricular programs initiated by
the different units. This step
complements the school’s initiatives
towards ensuring the effective
articulation of programs and the
consistency of these with the school’s
areas of focus, vision and core values.
Strategic Plan 2011-2016
The institutional Strategic Planning
process was reviewed to streamline
reporting requirements and enhance
monitoring effectiveness by the
Planning and Development Office
(PDO). The annual institutional planning
workshop was conducted to evaluate
progress toward strategic goals, provide
a platform for the discussion of
institution-wide issues, and interface
with the budgeting process. The
output of the workshop was the
institutional Strategic Plan for 20112016, which defined goals and
sub-goals through the institution’s
four Ps: Program, People, Processes
and Systems, and Physical Plant and
Resources.
Information and Communications
Technology (ICT)
Mutual cooperation ensured the swift signing of the Collective Bargaining Agreement
between the Union of Non-Academic Personnel (UNAP) members and the administration.
A review of the Faculty Ranking and
Evaluation System of the Basic
Education Unit is being conducted,
looking into a more appropriate
vertical promotion process and
further increasing professional
involvement among teachers.
To further ensure the efficiency of the
school’s systems and procedures, a
third party risk management review is
under negotiation to audit criticial
operations of the school such as
finance, purchasing and ICT, among
others.
MIRIA M C OLLE GE A n n u al Report 2 0 1 1 -2 0 1 2
Key result areas of the strategic plan
were summarized in the President’s
QRS: Quality, Relevance and
Sustainability, which serve as the areas
of focus in delivering high quality
education that is faculty-student
centered. The units then developed
their respective Action Plans in line
with the institutional goals and guided
by the QRS. The school’s strategic
plan cycle was reviewed and processes
were improved to include new reporting
tools and schedules to tighten the
process. Unit reports are now
gathered on a semestral basis instead
of quarterly.
The Student Database Management
System (SDMS) was initiated in the
High school this year, providing a
standard database of students’ profiles
across academic units. The ICT
Office also successfully implemented a
number of other projects in order to
meet the school’s growing demands
for communication connectivity and
information access: (1) Upgrading
of the campus-wide phone system
with the latest VoIP (Voice Internet
Protocol) technology from AVAYA; (2)
Deployment of the Microsoft Exchange
2010 Email system upgraded to include
Active Directory; (3) Development
and deployment of the new Miriam
College website using DotNetNuke
Content Management Software; and
(4) Deployment of the campus-wide
Wireless WiFi system using the latest
Cisco wireless technology. With the
increased incorporation and adaption
of information and communication
technologies in the school, awareness
on the proper use of information
and communication technology was
enhanced with the issuance of the
Miriam College ICT Code of Conduct
as an addendum to the Employee
Code of Conduct.
29
Enhanced Processes and Systems
The Online Performance Management
System (PMS) was completed this year
by the Human Resources Division.
Laying out of annual plans and
performance evaluation is now
conducted online, thereby
professionalizing the process, making
it more accessible, accurate and
efficient. With stronger cooperation
among parties concerned and more
systematic processes in place, the
Audited Financial Statements for SY
2010-2011 were finalized much earlier
compared to the previous years. The
negotiation for the Collective Bargaining
Agreement was concluded in only half
a day.
The ICT team installs a Cisco wireless technology to enable more areas to have WiFi connection
and to provide better connection services for the students.

We will work to ensure that Miriam College is an
exemplar of a Green Lifestyle, while maintaining an
environment that is conducive to teaching, learning
and research. The strategic management of our
resources for sustained operations and growth
continues to be a priority.
Miriam College is committed to making significant
and visible leaps in these areas.
Strengthened Financial Management
The Planning, Programming and
Budgeting System (PPBS) was
introduced this year. The planning
and budgeting calendars were better
synchronized and the budget approval
process was improved with the revival
of the revalidation process or “budget
hearings” by the Institutional Budget
Committee (IBC), headed by the ffice
of the Vice President for Development
and Resource Management (VPDRM).
Through the budget hearings, the IBC
is able to carefully evaluate budget
proposals from academic units, office
and centers guided by zero-based
budgeting.
For proper allocation and utilization
of funds focused on the school’s core
services, the President has imbibed
in the community a more “budgetaware” culture. Resources were
consciously directed towards academic
programs and intiatives that support
these. Clearly-defined parameters on
budgeting were implemented starting
this school year, resulting in the
improved budget performance by the
units.
Effective next school year, cash discounts
for full and advance payments of
tuition and other fees will be
implemented to encourage early
payments. This was inititated to reduce
accounts receivables and improve in
the instituion’s liquidity.
The school has installed a 24/7 payment
acceptance machine from Rizal
Commercial Banking Corporation

Second Campus in Nuvali, Laguna
The Miriam College Board of Trustees
approved the establishment of the
second Miriam College campus in
a 15-hectare property in Calamba,
Laguna, nest+led in the fast-growing
NUVALI development of the Ayala
Land Corporation.
Consistent with the school’s 85th
anniversary theme of “Expanding
Horizons, Creating Impact”, Miriam
College embarks on a new and
broader expression of its vision and
mission of providing its unique brand
of holistic, values-infused, quality,
Catholic education to a larger and
more diverse sector of Philippine
society.
This decision is a result of a rigorous
process of research, consultation and
careful deliberation that started in
2006. Of the many locations considered,
Ayala Land’s NUVALI project in Laguna
was chosen because of: (1) Its emphasis
on sustainable development, which
complements Miriam College’s vision,
mission and values; (2) Its proximity
