The Colegio de San Juan de Letran, San Juan de Letran or simply Letran is a private Roman Catholic institution of higher learning located in Intramuros, Manila, in the Philippines. The college was founded in 1620 and it is owned and administered by the priests of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) of the Philippine Dominican Province. The school has a rich and proud history and holds the distinction of having produced Philippine presidents, revolutionary heroes, poets, legislators, members of the clergy, jurists, and is the only Philippine school that has produced several Catholic Saints that actually lived and studied inside its original campus. The campus contains two statues, representing the two foremost alumni in the fields of secular and religious service: former Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon and Vietnamese Saint Vicente Liem de la Paz. Also Colegio de San Juan de Letran has a distinction being the oldest college in the Philippines and the oldest secondary instituition in Asia.

The name San Juan de Letran is derived from the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome, considered as the Mother Church of Christendom[2] This name, in turn, was taken from that of the palace known as Palazzo Laterano, beside which it stands at the Piazza San Giovanni or Saint John Square in that SE of Rome location, a former Imperial Palace given by Emperor Constantine to the Pope in the early 4th century, which later served as official papal residence for over a thousand years. Saint John the Baptist for whom the Basilica is named, is also the patron saint of the Colegio.
Originally founded by Don Juan Geromino Guerrero in 1620, a retired Spanish officer, in Intramuros as Colegio de Niños Huerfanos de San Juan de Letran. The school was designed to educate and mold orphans to be good Christian citizens.
Around the month of May in the year 1632, Fray Diego de Santa Maria, O.P. arrived at the Sto. Domingo Convent from Spain via Mexico. He was officially assigned to this same convent on April 23, 1633 and was given the task of conventual porter. He founded the Colegio de Niños Huerfanos de San Pedro y San Pablo. As Don Guerrero grew old, the two schools were fused together, and in 1706, the Provincial Chapter of the Dominicans in the Philippines decided to adopt officially the name Colegio de San Juan de Letran in memory of its first founder, Don Guerrero.
In 1738, six scholarships were granted by the King of Spain for Chinese, Japanese, and Tongkinese (Vietnamese) students. Vicente Liem de la Paz, Letran's foremost alumnus saint, was among the students who enjoyed this scholarship.[3]
After 60 years, Letran was declared an ecclesiastical college. A royal decree on May 20, 1865 pronounced Letran as a "College of the First Class". Around this time, Letran was still a school exclusively for boys. The school’s curriculum was reviewed and revised according to European and American patterns in 1886. Further expansion took place in 1894 and adjustments were made with the arrival of the Americans in 1900.[3]
During World War II, Letran suspended classes, and the school was changed into a Japanese garrison. In the school year of 1942, classes were temporarily transferred to the Dominican Sanctuario of San Juan del Monte. After the war, Letran resumed operations. Several new construction projects were inaugurated to replace the old structures wrecked by the war.
The school began accepting female students in its college department in the 1970s while the grade school and high school departments started accepting female enrollees in June 2005.
In October 2007, two former Letran administrators were among the 498 Spanish martyrs beatified by Pope Benedict XVI. They are Fr. Jesus Villaverde Andres, OP, a former rector; and Fr. Antonio Varona Ortega, OP, a former professor and moderator of the NCAA Philippines.

Other campuses
Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Bataan
Rev. Fr. Rogelio Alarcon, O.P., former rector and president of Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros, Manila and an alumnus proposed the idea of having another campus in the north. Bataan was chosen. Initially, two sites were presented: Hermosa and Balanga City. Abucay came into the picture later, after three years in the conceptualization stage. By what could be described as heavenly intercession and providential twists, Abucay was selected. The community of St. John Lateran, the Board of Colegio de San Juan de Letran and the Council of the Philippine Dominican Province approved the establishment of Letran-Abucay in 1998.
Construction started in 2000 in the fifteen-hectare area, donated by Mayor and Mrs. Liberato Santiago, Mr. and Mrs. Nicanor Soriano and Gov. and Mrs. Leonardo Roman. A breathtaking view of the Manila Bay and the surrounding mountains, including Mt. Samat, envelope the site. One of the main attractions of Letran-Abucay is its relatively undisturbed natural area and environment. Indeed, an ideal place for study. The site was chosen because of the natural character it projects- a plateau. Architect and environmental planner, Yolanda David Reyes incorporated this in the overall design and conceptual master planning of the campus.
Preparations for the establishment of the Letran-Abucay spanned over the terms of three Filipino Dominican provincials: Rev. Fr. Quirico Pedregosa, O.P., Rev. Fr. Ernesto Arceo, O.P. and Rev. Fr. Edmund Nantes, O.P., an alumnus. Rev. Fr. Edwin Lao, O.P., former rector and president of Letran-Intramuros spearheaded the over-all construction of the building and the formulation of the guiding principles of the institution. The blessing and inauguration on June 4, 2006 coincided with the gathering of the priors and superiors of the Philippine Dominican Province. Bishop Socrates Villegas, D.D., also an alumnus, officiated the Eucharistic celebration and blessing.
Colegio de San Juan de Letran - Calamba
When government declared its policy of decongesting Metro Manila, the Dominican Province of the Philippines, mainly in line with its program of expansion, responded to the call. A long-term plan which included the establishment of an extension school in Laguna was prepared by the Commission for the Planning of the Ministry of the Word.
A 7-hectare tract of land along the foothills of the legendary Mt. Makiling in Bucal, Calamba, Laguna was chosen as the site - a choice made more significantly by the thematic link of Letran being the Alma mater of renowned men with Calamba being the birthplace of the national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal.
Thus, the Colegio de San Juan de Letran-Calamba was born on March 11, 1979. Rev. Fr. Ramon Salinas, OP was the project director; Rev. Fr. Jesse Lorete, OP served as the Coordinator of Student/Personnel Services; and Mr. Jose Marcelino, Principal of the Elementary Department of Letran-Intramuros, was the academic provost. Being an extension campus, Letran-Calamba was placed under the supervision of Rev. Fr. Regino Cortez, OP, the rector of Letran-Intramuros.
On August 7, 1986, Letran-Calamba finally gained its autonomy from Letran-Intramuros with the installation of Rev. Fr. Tamerlane Lana, OP, as its first president and rector.
With the school buildings still under construction, the first semester of its first school year saw Letran's pioneer instructors (most of whom commuted from Letran-Manila) and students holding classes at the rented half-finished building of Laguna Poly medic Center, Inc. now known as the PAMANA.
To smoothen the school operations, Rev. Fr. Patricio Apa, O.P. was designated the First Director of Letran-Calamba in 1980. Assisting him as the Academic Provost was Mr. Constante Molina.
The year 1981 saw the blessing of the four-storey main Building, the three-storey engineering/Elementary/High School Building and the Shop. Various offices and services were expanded to insure the implementation of the development plan and programs. The college departments had their first academic heads; Engr. Dominador Chua for Engineering and Commerce, and Rev. Fr. Enrico Gonzales, O.P. for Arts & Sciences.
Sharing with other Dominican-run schools a commitment to participate in the evangelization mission of the Catholic Church, the Colegio has aimed for the total formation of individuals whose maturity and responsibility are firmly rooted in the Catholic faith, its teachings and values. With this as its objective, the school has actively devoted itself to the promotion of relevant programs in learning and teaching in the elementary, high school and college.
Self-governing, the Colegio has proven itself worthy of standing on its own. In its young stage, it has already produced graduates who brought laurels to the institution by passing the board examinations both in Mechanical Engineering and Certified Public Accountant with several of the Mechanical Engineering board passers landing on top positions. In 1987-1991, Letran placed 20th (average ranking by the Professional Regulation Commission) in the Overall National Passing Percentage of Mechanical Engineers, ranking second in Region IV in the 1987 ME Board Examination.
