“We are
celebrating our 400 years in 2020. We thank beep™ Cards for partnering with us.
One of the thrusts of our celebration is to give back, thus, we are targeting
to have 400 scholars. This is one way of helping your beloved Letran celebrate
its 400 years. Siempre Arriba, Siempre Letran!” Jhennie Villar- co-chair of the
Letran Quadricentennial celebration.
Colegio de San
Juan de Letran was founded in 1620 by Don Juan Geronimo Guerrero, a retired
Spanish officer, and Diego Santa Maria, a Dominican brother. Since then, it has
survived wars and calamities and remained true to its commitment to pursue
knowledge and excellence, producing stalwarts in the fields of medicine,
sports, media and entertainment, business, and public service, to name a few.
Letran kicked off
its quadricentennial celebration in November 2016 and has since been
celebrating it with special events, homecomings, and tributes to alumni who
have been part of weaving the school’s long and colorful history. The
celebrations are divided into phases (the past, the present, the future, and
forever) covering important parts of Letran’s story, among which is the
Conquistar Nuevas Glorias (Conquering New Glories) phase, where celebrations dwell
on the future, looking forward to everything it holds.
“Colegio de San
Juan de Letran is ushering in a new era of positive developments and we at beep™
card are truly honored to be part of it. Students have always been among our
biggest supporters and we believe that the special Letran beep™ card is a great
way to showcase school pride,” said Peter Maher, President and CEO of AF
Payments Inc.
Letran’s main
campus is located in Intramuros, Manila, accessible via LRT-1, LRT-2, and e-trikes,
