To meet the needs of the growing school-age population of the City of San Pablo and its neighboring towns, a group of pioneering men, among them were Major Ricardo Bonilla, Dr. Antonio Azores, Mr. Ambrosio Alcantara and many others founded and established the San Pablo Colleges in 1947. From its humble beginnings, in makeshift rooms and in rented buildings, the San Pablo Colleges in a brief span of five years acquired a one-half hectare piece of walled lot at Hermanos Belen Street in the heart of the city of San Pablo.
