INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
Institutional Profile
Olivarez College is a private, non-sectarian, and stock-profit educational institution conceived and established in the belief that providing educational opportunities for the masses is
the best legacy one can offer to the Filipino nation and the world.
Olivarez College is committed to the intellectual, cultural, moral, and physical development of its student. It also envisions the enhancement of the welfare and social well-being of the
community. The school is dedicated to the youth of the land eager to search for educational
opportunities and challenges for responsible citizenship and leadership by developing the potentials of the youth to the end fruition of their learned skills and competences, thus, enabling
them to become assets of the nation and global community.
Historical Evolution of Olivarez College
When Sucat Road, Paranaque was still surrounded with rice fields and salt beds, Dr. Pablo
and the late Dr. Rosario Olivarez pioneered in the development of the community when they
put up Olivarez General Hospital in 1975. The following year, the spouses envisioned to establish
a school in which its graduates shall be immediately hired in the said hospital and, at the same
time, contribute in the formation of the youth dedicated to the service of God, country and
man. Being medical practitioners themselves who were aware of the great demand for nurses in
the Philippines and abroad, they established the Olivarez School of Nursing on April 30, 1976.
Due to a dramatic increase in the student's enrollment the following year, additional programs like Liberal Arts and vocational courses were offered. The name Olivarez School of Nursing
was changed to Olivarez Junior College.
In 1978, it instituted the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of Commerce and
other Health Related Courses. The demand to open a preschool and grade school prompted
the owners to offer them in. the same year. The school began accepting high school students in
the following year. In 1980, the school changed its name to Olivarez College and has kept the
prestigious name until now.

INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
Originally, the school was situated in a one-hectare four-storey building where in the first
floor was used as the canteen, the second floor as the nursing laboratory and classrooms, the
third floor as the library and the fourth floor as the dormitory.
Together with Mrs. Arceli Adriano, Mrs. Marilou I. Aguirre, Mrs. Ruth Glori, Mrs. Petronilia Ignacio, Mrs. Teresita R. Oris, and five (5) faculty members, the school opened its doors for its first
eighty-four (84) enrollees.
The year 1977 marked a dramatic increase in the students' enrollment. This triggered the
offering of additional academic courses and programs like Liberal Arts and other vocational
courses. Olivarez School of Nursing was later named Olivarez Junior College with Mrs. Petronila
Ignacio as the first Academic Vice-President,
More departments were established in the year 1978. These were the College of Arts and
Sciences, College of Commerce and other paramedic courses. The elementary department
with the kindergarten and grade one classes were also set-up.
The school began accepting first and second year high school students in school year
1979. It also started to offer complete elementary courses from grades one to six. The Academic
Council was organized and was composed of the Executive Vice-President, Dean of the College Department and the department heads. Third and fourth year high school students were
admitted in the following year. It was also in 1980 that the school named itself Olivarez College.
Dr. Pablo Olivarez purchased a two (2)-hectare lot adjacent to Olivarez General Hospital.
This became the present site of the two-storey high school building which was completed
in 1979, and the four-storey building which construction was finished in 1980.
OLIVAREZ COLLEGE
INSTITUTIONAL PROFILE
In 1992, the school started offering graduate programs: Master of Arts in Education, major in Educational Management, Master of Arts in Education, major to Guidance and Counseling, and
Master of Business Administration.
Quality education has always been a thrust of the school. Thus, in October 1990, the
school formally wrote the Philippine Association for Colleges and Universities on Accreditation
(PACUCOA) requesting the said group of accreditors to orient the school administration regarding the process of accreditation. The PACUCOA team came in February 1991 for a consultation
meeting with the administration, faculty, and staff.
Level I accreditation status was formally awarded to the College of Liberal Arts and Commerce in July 1992. The College of Nursing was likewise granted similar accreditation status on
Septembers, 1992. OnMay28, 1993, the College of Commerce and Liberal Arts were granted by
PACUCOA their Level II accreditation status. The College of Nursing followed on February 7, 1997.
Level II First re-accreditation status was granted to the College of Liberal Arts and Commerce on
December 1998. At present, the College of Liberal Arts, College of Commerce and College of
Nursing enjoy Level II, second re-accreditation status for five years.
PACUCOA likewise gave notice to the compliance to its accreditation standards of the
Master of Arts in Education Program and Master of Business Administration of Olivarez College of
Parañaque. On May 31, 2008, it was given a candidate status. Same is true with the Bachelor of
Secondary Education, Bachelor of Elementary Education, and Bachelor of Science in Hotel and
Restaurant Management.
On the other hand, In February 2002, the Grade School and High School Departments collectively called the Basic Education Department were awarded Level I accredited status by the
Philippine Accrediting Association of Colleges and Universities (PAASCU). On May 14, 2004,
PAASCU awarded once again the Basic Education Department its Level II accredited status for
having satisfactorily met its requirements and standards. Four years after, on May 5, 2008, PAASCU granted the Basic Education Department the Level II re-accredited status for 5 years, valid
until May 2013.
On April 1995, the school opened the year under a new administration. Two (2) of Olivarez's children Dr. Eric L. Olivarez and Mrs. Evangeline O. Ilas assumed the positions of Vice Presi-
OLIVAREZ COLLEGE

dent for Academics and Services and Vice President for Finance and Administration, respectively. Also in June of the same year, a four (4) storey structure especially intended for the Basic Education Department was formally completed. At present, it contains its own cafeteria, home economics, practical arts, science and computer laboratories, audio-visual room, libraries and classrooms.
Perhaps, no other school or universities in the Philippines can outdo the athletic facilities of
Olivarez College. The five (5) indoor and one (1) outdoor tennis courts are comparable to leading country clubs in the country, not to mention the twenty five (25) indoor badminton courts.
The semi-Olympic sized indoor swimming pool is one of a kind. The five thousand (5,000) seating
capacity coliseum is also state-of-the-art. The school prides itself with its own resort that offers leisure and serenity for the students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike.
In 2008 the new building which houses the College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, and the main library, apart from the three (3) other libraries has been completed.
The areas of faculty and instruction are just two (2) of the attestations of the accolades of
Olivarez College. A highly qualified and competent faculty pool is maintained. Majority of the
professors in the College Department attained their graduate degrees from prestigious colleges
and universities. In the Basic Education Department, all teachers have passed the Licensure Examinations for Teachers (LET). Faculty members incessantly pursue their quest for learning
through research which the school administration supports through the allotment of annual
budget for research.
Consistently, the average passing rate of the students in the National Board Examinations
is over and above average the national passing rate especially in Radiologic Technology, Midwifery, Physical Therapy, Nursing, and Education. Many of the Olivarian graduates are now gainfully employed in the country and abroad. These are only but proofs of the Olivarian excellence.
The extent that the school facilities, services, and resources support the school's objectives
certainly passes the test of excellence. Olivarez College is committed to and is an active participant in community services, growth and development. The school has established linkages with
various colleges, universities, agencies, and other institutions. Residents of Sitio Sto. Nino located
in San Dionisio, Parañaque City was the beneficiaries of the various outreach programs of the

Higher Education (CHED), Department of Education (DepEd), and Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA).
Since its humble beginnings in 1976, Olivarez College has been true to its vision of providing a holistic education to Its students. Like a blossoming flower, it has metamorphosed into a
premiere educational institution in the south of Metro Manila. The intent to be in the league of
leading universities in the country impels it to move towards excellence. To achieve this goal of
excellence, the school constantly upgrades its standards. Olivarez College has been successful
in its philosophy of "educating the mind, body and soul" for its students. The school administrators
are working towards its goal of making Olivarez College achieve university status. Becoming a
high-performing school takes many years of hard work. There is no silver bullet. There is no single
thing Olivarez College can do to ensure high student performance.
Olivarez College does not rest on its laurels. It continuously labors to achieve a state of distinction. This can only be achieved through the concerted efforts of each and every member of
the Olivarian community.
