The National Lasallian Vocations Team (NLVT) visited De La Salle John Bosco College in the past month, bringing a new perspective on the challenges facing the school, whether current or upcoming. The Lasallian family of DLSJBC was more than happy to welcome the De La Salle Brothers and Lasallian Partners of De La Salle Philippines to enlighten not just the students but also those who nurture them in the school setting.
