Introduction and Acknowledgments 

Brother Inigo Riola, President, members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished faculty, dedicated staff, proud parents, honored guests, and above all, the resilient, triumphant Graduating Class of DLSU-Dasmariñas of 2026!

Good morning.

Look around you today. Take a deep breath. Feel the weight of the gown you are wearing and the cap resting on your head. A day that at one time may have seemed so far away is now upon us.  You made it.

“Their Dream Is Our Dream”

Ninety-four years ago, in 1932, La Salle Japan was born. Four Canadian Brothers were assigned to establish a new mission in Japan. After a long journey by train from Eastern Canada, followed by a voyage across the Pacific Ocean, these four young Canadian Brothers finally arrived at Hakodate Port on November 22, 1932.

The Lasallian Volunteer Program (LSVP) is thrilled to share a milestone with the Lasallian Family. The volunteers of LSVP Batch 26 have successfully passed the March 2026 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). This achievement marks the culmination of years of dedicated scholarship, accompaniment, and shared dreams among the volunteers, their Indigenous People communities, and the many people who walked alongside them on this journey.

A team of De La Salle Brothers of the Philippine Sector recently gathered for a three-day writing workshop to refine and complete their Safeguarding Manual, a living document that defines how the Brothers understand and practice the protection of minors and vulnerable adults in all their ministries across the Philippines.

The workshop brought together Br. Felipe Belleza FSC, Br. Mandy Dujunco FSC, Br. Ray Suplido FSC, and Br. John Ong FSC, with facilitation provided by Fr. Jigs Rosalinda JCD and Ms. Thea Quintos of the Catholic Safeguarding Institute.

Across the diverse sectors and institutions of the Lasallian East Asia District (LEAD), formation initiatives are thriving. An incredible wealth of modules, presentations, reflection guides, and prayers are crafted by dedicated formators over time. Yet, for years, the limited sharing of these materials meant brilliant ideas remained siloed—resulting in a duplication of effort and making it difficult for formators to access quality materials when they needed them most.

On 06 June 2026, almost 100 Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) members, school principals, vice principals, and Brothers gathered at Br. Brendan Hall in Chong Gene Hang College (CGHC) for the Joint School IMC Managers and Administrators Workshop. Organized by the Hong Kong Lasallian Family Office in partnership with CGHC, the morning seminar aimed to equip school leaders with strategies for effective management while deepening their connection to the educational mission of the Lasallian East Asia District (LEAD).

"As long as there are young people in Hong Kong, the De La Salle Brothers will continue their mission here, providing faith formation through education to draw them closer to God."

From 3-5 June 2026, young Lasallians from five Lasallian mission schools in Malaysia and St. Joseph’s Institution, Singapore gathered in faith, friendship, and community for the opening of the Lasallian Encounter 2026.

Through welcome activities, house challenges, prayer, and shared moments of joy during the first day, the delegates began to discover what it means to walk together as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Former students of St. Andrew’s Secondary School (SAS), Muar, have long been generous in giving back to their alma mater. Their contributions have enabled the Muar Andreans Association (MAA), the school’s alumni body, to establish three funds dedicated to the holistic development and well-being of its students.

On the morning of 15 May 2026, the Lasallian community gathered in unity and thanksgiving for the annual La Salle Day Mass, commemorating the Founder’s Day of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. Held at Stella Maris Church, the celebration brought together the principal of La Salle Secondary School, Catholic students, teachers, parents, members of the school board, alumni, and fellow Lasallians from across the community.
