History
In 1951, the college went through a low
ebb and started to suffer losses year after year. During this critical period, despite persistent losses, the
college was able to pay the salaries of the teachers on schedule, a
record that it has kept and has vowed to keep through all the years.
In 1954, the college was re-incorporated
under the name Mabini
College.
During the school year, 1956-57, the college transferred from
rented building serving as the school plant in the heart of the town
to its present site along Mercedes
Road now Gov. Panotes Ave.
It started with six classrooms in its semi-permanent building
on the new site. Subsequently,
students began flocking to Mabini Colleges that it had to put up as
many barong-barongs to accommodate the yearly increase in enrolment
especially in High School Department.
With the granting of permanent recognition to Mabini
Colleges to operate new college courses,
especially the collegiate normal courses, which was opened in Mabini
Colleges for two years. Before
this course was granted to many private schools, the collegiate
enrolment of the college gradually increased necessities for
construction of permanent building.
The following period maybe
characterized as an era of rapid expansion and progress.
During this period, the college had invested over three
hundred fifty thousand pesos on building, about fifty thousand on
laboratory apparatus, more than ten thousand on library books and
thousands of pesos on equipment and fixtures.
It had employed better and more qualified teachers with higher
salaries. All of these
were made possible because every centavo earned by the school was
re-invested to the school including most of the salaries of the late
director, Miguel R. Ibana and his wife.
On
October 31, 1967, Mabini
College found itself mourning over the
demise of its founder. His
departure to the great beyond, left a vacancy of responsibility for
during his lifetime, he was in complete control of the college and
the college administration was highly centralized.
In the few months that followed, leadership in Mabini
College
was at stake and the struggle for it shocked the very foundation of
the college. But in due
time, a duly constituted authority was established, which was
committed to democratic administration and supervision, dedicated to
the ideals, teachings and educational philosophy of the founder. |
