PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction
Dear Fellow Philwomenians,
At 35, most women are just reaching their prime. And so it goes for PWUAA of
Southern California whose members share many more years of memories made
from worthwhile activities, unforgettable experiences and fond recollections of
their past schooldays at the Philippine Women's University.
PWU is celebrating its Centennial this 2019 which makes PWUAA of Southern
California's 35th celebration even more significant. The school was founded to
teach young women (and now even men) to raise good families but also to
establish their own careers and contribute to their chosen communities. All over
the world, Philwomenians have been doing just that and among you here tonight,
we have several outstanding examples.
The Philippines is at a crossroads and those of us who are fortunate enough to be
able to see it from a safe distance can also see the areas that most need our help. I
hope that you will include our beloved campus on Taft Avenue and find a way
either individually or as groups of alumni to make a difference in whatever way
you can.
Be one of the "100 Reasons to be Proud" of PWU this centennial year.
Thank you and Mabuhay!

MESSAGE
PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction
	 My dear fellow Philwomenians, honored guests, family and friends. Welcome to
the Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Dinner Dance and the Post-Philippine Women’s University
Centennial Celebration in the United States. I am extremely proud of what we have
accomplished and thank you all for your support and hard work.
	 I feel blessed and truly honored in being able to share in this night with you all.
We have come together to commemorate the centennial anniversary of our Alma Mater.
On June 9, 1919, Philippine Women’s College officially opened its classes. As we mark
this momentous occasion, we should remember all those who have helped us achieve this
milestone. Tonight we celebrate and pay tribute to the dreams and our founders in providing
quality education to Filipino women.
	 We have all benefited so much from our education and I am proud to count myself
among you all as an alumnus of PWU. I encourage you all to share your stories and
experiences with each other. I hope that with each gathering, our PWU family will continue
to grow in friendship and fellowship.
	 We all owe a debt of gratitude to the four founders - Shirley Yaptinchay Eylam, Paz
Esquerra Carillo, Fe Alban Santos and Alma P. de Guzman who initiated the birth of the
Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California ( PWUAASC ) in
March 1984. Let’s reaffirm our dedication to our association and our mission of supporting
our Alma Mater and local community outreach programs, as well as to continue to serve as
a dedicated member of PWUAASC. I believe strongly in the work that we do and know that
our efforts make a difference in our community, alumni and current students of PWU.

PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction
35 Years of Keeping the Philwomenian Spirit Alive and Well...
March 1984 saw the birth of the Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California
(PWUAASC). Initiated by Shirley Yaptinchay Eylam, Paz Esguerra Carillo, Fe Alban Santos and Alma P. de
Guzman, flyers were sent out to reach as many Philwomenians as possible living in Southern California. The
response was very promising. The results were viewed with much delight and encouragement by the Alma Mater
back in Manila. Earlier, it had sent inquiries on the presence and status of overseas PWU alumni. Former
university officials and faculty members who had migrated to Southern California such as Dr. Milagros P.
Ocampo and the late Angelina S. Villarica had made earlier in–roads into this alumni outreach prior to 1984.
That March 1984 meeting set the stage for the formal installation of PWUAASC’s first set of Officers at the
elegant Bonaventure Hotel in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Cynthia Ugalde Tan became the First
President. The Officers, Board Members and the entire Executive Board were regal in their traditional PWU gala
ternos. History was in the making. Since then to this day, 20 other Presidents had been installed, namely: Lena
Ocampo Mazanka, Paz Esguerra Carillo, Regina Flores Tercero, Exal Acejo Igidbashian, Juliet Ocampo Abrantes,
Fe Alban Santos, Esther Dizon Reyes, Minda Aureus Gorospe, Sylvia Flores Magturo, Nina Miclat Ponce de
Leon, Elden Canuel Pablo, Lynne Alcantara Isaac, Teresita Navarro Lightholder, Placida Cayme Worrell
Transfiguracion, Arceli Go Chua Gagajena, Virginia Balanza Vivas, Marigene Ocampo Strouse. Lydia V. Solis,
Vicky Callanta Soong, and Marilu Vargas Barretto.
This thirty-five-year journey has taken Southern California Philwomenians to various multi-faceted activities:
cultural, educational, civic, social, and even revivals of some deep-seated Filipino religious devotional practices.
The group’s consistency and aggressive scholarship fund-raising projects have benefited many of the poor but
deserving PWU college and high school students back in the Philippines. There was a Final Boost Scholarship
Program in 2011, that assisted deserving students to complete their final year in college.
To fund their many projects all these years, PWUAASC members have learned how to become organizers and
achievers. Through these continued fundraising activities from one administration to the next, the Association’s
coffers were continuously supplemented. The constant pulling together of talents and resources has always given
credence to the "Bayanihan" spirit, which is deeply ingrained in every Philwomenian and implanted in her heart
and her mind, the moment she set foot on the hallowed grounds of her Alma Mater from decades past.
"Bayanihan" is her badge and ID card. It is her open secret wherever she is in the world today.
PWUAASC, in addition to its on-going scholarship programs for PWU Manila and Iloilo, including funding for
the Final Boost Scholarship Program, undertook a myriad of other activities that also focused on the well-being of
its members and their immediate families. One of their first initiatives was the Student Achievers Award Program.
It rewarded the children of alumni who excelled in academics, and in other fields of youthful endeavors, such as
active participation in civic and social action, excellence in various sports, and remarkable success stories in the
Arts and Sciences Departments of their schools, colleges, and universities. On their own, many other
Philwomenians also assist in no small way in their local communities or in the parish churches they attend.
PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction
Part of PWUAASC’s history are the many activities and events it has held over the years: the Annual Picnics,
Christmas Parties and Induction of Officers Dinner Dances; the occasional Casino Fund-raising Turnarounds, the
Debutantes’ Balls, Cerritos Spring Festivals, and July 4th Celebrations; feeding of the Homeless of Mission
Dolores in East L.A. and the Los Angeles Mission; donation of hygienic packages at the Cardinal Manning Center
for homeless men; gifts of school supplies at the Harbor UCLA Pediatric MZ clinic; Relief Fund Drive for the
victims of the Mt. Pinatubo disaster in the Philippines and typhoon Ondoy; Philippine (emergency) Disaster
Relief Organization (PeDRO) 5K Walk for survivors and families of victims of Super typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda;
and numerous other active involvements in other civic and charitable initiatives here and elsewhere; and finally,
the publication of an alumni newsletter which will now be part of the newly constructed website.
In recent years, the Alma Mater called for financial help to support her Faculty Development Projects. The
Association responded right away. It set up a Special Fund for Faculty Development. PWUAASC networks with
other Filipino groups in Los Angeles and in other neighboring counties as well, in a genuine show of solidarity
and support for other community outreach programs and events that benefit various Filipino and Filipino
American groups and communities.
In 2006, as part of the100th Year Celebration of Filipino Migration to the USA, the Association participated in a
country-wide Santacruzan event now archived in the world-famous Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C.
PWU alumni have the distinction of being the first to raise funds for Michael Christian Martinez, the only Filipino
and the only Southeast Asian in the 2014 Winter Olympics. The name Philippine Women’s University Alumni
Association of Southern California, Virginia B. Vivas, President, is engraved on the Dr. Jose P. Rizal Monument
in Carson, Calif., the only life-size statue of our national hero.
In the year 2017 & 2018 Vicky Soong, Immediate Past President and her officers continued to serve the
community by partnering with other non- profit organizations like Search to Involve Filipino American (SIPA) in
food distribution to the homeless and participation with St. Elizabeth Seton church food drive. PWUAASC
annually participated in celebrating "The Larry Itliong Day", at Carson, CA, the commemoration of Philippine
Independence Day, and the "Simbang Gabi "tradition at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral, in Los Angeles, CA.
In 2031, letters buried in a time capsule under the monument during the ground breaking Jose Rizal ceremonies,
will be read. One of those letters was written by Lena O. Mazanka for the future generation of families of
PWUAASC. The letter read in part…“We hope that our efforts have helped in guiding you to become
outstanding citizens of this great country, with deep appreciation of your Filipino roots. It is with great pride that
we pass the torch of community leadership and service to you, and trust that you would likewise pass this
commitment to the future generations.”
Through conscientious efforts of then Past President Arceli C. Gagajena and Past President Virginia B. Vivas,
PWUAASC was granted the 501(C)3 status on February 22, 2010. With this tax-exempt status, PWUAASC
strives to continue its mission to serve, and look forward to the next 35 years and beyond, building legacies and
creating memories.
On February, 2019 a group of officers and members of PWUAASC joined other Philwomenians from all over the
world to celebrate its Alma Mater's 100th year anniversary in Manila, Philippines. PWUAASC was recognized at
the festive event which drew a dignified crowd of Alumni, family, and friends.

Let others sing their praises of their
Alma Maters fair … Alma Maters
Let them ponder on the graces
of their College great and rare
But my heart beats true forever
for the College I love best
I shall cease to treasure never
mem’ries of her in my breast, in my breast.
CHORUS
Loyal may we ever be
may we learn her lessons right
Proud may we ever be
of the Philippine Women’s University
Other hues thrill other bosoms red, blue, gray in
other’s sight… other sight
Are the fairest tints of blossoms
but for me Maroon and White
Wherever we may wander,
and wherever we may roam
On its message let us ponder,
Love of country, God and home
CHORUS
Loyal may we ever be
may we learn her lessons right
Proud may we ever be

PWUAASC MISSION STATEMENT
Our Members:
Graduates, former students and faculty members of the Philippine Women’s
University and its branches and friends of the Association
Our Projects:
Scholarships, Grants-In-Aid, Book Drive, Financial Aid to Disaster Victims, Seminar/
Workshops, Donation of Educational Materials and Equipment.
Our Aim:
The Philippine Women’s University of Southern California is a nonprofit
corporation established for charitable purposes.
Our Philosophy:
THE “BAYANIHAN” SPIRIT
According to Philippine traditions “bayanihan” is best exemplified when
neighbors, friends, relatives, and the “barrio” folks help move a house. It is
the spirit of sharing and working together for a common goal. The PWUAASC
believes in the “bayanihan” spirit through service in the community, a genuine
concern for fellowmen, and a closer affinity among the alumni and the Filipinos
as a whole.
LOYALTY TO OUR ALMA MATER
As the words of our College Hymn resounds, “but my heart beats true forever
for the college I love best, I shall cease to treasure never, mem’ries of her in
my breast. Loyal may we ever be...Proud may we ever be of the Philippine
Women’s University...” so thus, we pledge our loyalty to her. We uphold the
ideals and support its aims.
THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
The PWU legacy says: “Enlighten your minds...inspiring and challenging them
toward effective participation in nation-building.” We believe in the molding
of our youth as a foundation in the molding of a nation. The PWUAASC is
sponsoring scholarships for indigent but deserving students, conducting
workshops and seminars for professional growth, and donating education
materials to the Alma Mater and to other needy schools in the Philippines.
PRIDE IN OUR NATIONAL HERITAGE
As immigrants in a foreign country, we are continuous search for our national
identity. We take pride of our roots, our customs, our tradition, our cultur, and
our race.

PWUAASC 2019 Souvenir Program

  • 1. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction 35th Anniversary/Induction Dinner-Dance & PWU Post Centennial Celebration Saturday, July 20, 2019 Sheraton Cerritos Hotel. Cerritos, CA Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California (PWUAASC) Our Alma Mater! Our Nourishing Mother!
  • 4. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction Dear Fellow Philwomenians, At 35, most women are just reaching their prime. And so it goes for PWUAA of Southern California whose members share many more years of memories made from worthwhile activities, unforgettable experiences and fond recollections of their past schooldays at the Philippine Women's University. PWU is celebrating its Centennial this 2019 which makes PWUAA of Southern California's 35th celebration even more significant. The school was founded to teach young women (and now even men) to raise good families but also to establish their own careers and contribute to their chosen communities. All over the world, Philwomenians have been doing just that and among you here tonight, we have several outstanding examples. The Philippines is at a crossroads and those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to see it from a safe distance can also see the areas that most need our help. I hope that you will include our beloved campus on Taft Avenue and find a way either individually or as groups of alumni to make a difference in whatever way you can. Be one of the "100 Reasons to be Proud" of PWU this centennial year. Thank you and Mabuhay! Lyca Lydia Francisca Benitez Brown PWU Board of Trustees Member The Philippine Women's University and its Affiliate Schools for Men & Women Address: 1743 Taft Avenue, Manila 1004 Philippines MESSAGE
  • 5. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction My dear fellow Philwomenians, honored guests, family and friends. Welcome to the Thirty-Fifth Anniversary Dinner Dance and the Post-Philippine Women’s University Centennial Celebration in the United States. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished and thank you all for your support and hard work. I feel blessed and truly honored in being able to share in this night with you all. We have come together to commemorate the centennial anniversary of our Alma Mater. On June 9, 1919, Philippine Women’s College officially opened its classes. As we mark this momentous occasion, we should remember all those who have helped us achieve this milestone. Tonight we celebrate and pay tribute to the dreams and our founders in providing quality education to Filipino women. We have all benefited so much from our education and I am proud to count myself among you all as an alumnus of PWU. I encourage you all to share your stories and experiences with each other. I hope that with each gathering, our PWU family will continue to grow in friendship and fellowship. We all owe a debt of gratitude to the four founders - Shirley Yaptinchay Eylam, Paz Esquerra Carillo, Fe Alban Santos and Alma P. de Guzman who initiated the birth of the Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California ( PWUAASC ) in March 1984. Let’s reaffirm our dedication to our association and our mission of supporting our Alma Mater and local community outreach programs, as well as to continue to serve as a dedicated member of PWUAASC. I believe strongly in the work that we do and know that our efforts make a difference in our community, alumni and current students of PWU.

  • 12. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction 35 Years of Keeping the Philwomenian Spirit Alive and Well... March 1984 saw the birth of the Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California (PWUAASC). Initiated by Shirley Yaptinchay Eylam, Paz Esguerra Carillo, Fe Alban Santos and Alma P. de Guzman, flyers were sent out to reach as many Philwomenians as possible living in Southern California. The response was very promising. The results were viewed with much delight and encouragement by the Alma Mater back in Manila. Earlier, it had sent inquiries on the presence and status of overseas PWU alumni. Former university officials and faculty members who had migrated to Southern California such as Dr. Milagros P. Ocampo and the late Angelina S. Villarica had made earlier in–roads into this alumni outreach prior to 1984. That March 1984 meeting set the stage for the formal installation of PWUAASC’s first set of Officers at the elegant Bonaventure Hotel in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Cynthia Ugalde Tan became the First President. The Officers, Board Members and the entire Executive Board were regal in their traditional PWU gala ternos. History was in the making. Since then to this day, 20 other Presidents had been installed, namely: Lena Ocampo Mazanka, Paz Esguerra Carillo, Regina Flores Tercero, Exal Acejo Igidbashian, Juliet Ocampo Abrantes, Fe Alban Santos, Esther Dizon Reyes, Minda Aureus Gorospe, Sylvia Flores Magturo, Nina Miclat Ponce de Leon, Elden Canuel Pablo, Lynne Alcantara Isaac, Teresita Navarro Lightholder, Placida Cayme Worrell Transfiguracion, Arceli Go Chua Gagajena, Virginia Balanza Vivas, Marigene Ocampo Strouse. Lydia V. Solis, Vicky Callanta Soong, and Marilu Vargas Barretto. This thirty-five-year journey has taken Southern California Philwomenians to various multi-faceted activities: cultural, educational, civic, social, and even revivals of some deep-seated Filipino religious devotional practices. The group’s consistency and aggressive scholarship fund-raising projects have benefited many of the poor but deserving PWU college and high school students back in the Philippines. There was a Final Boost Scholarship Program in 2011, that assisted deserving students to complete their final year in college. To fund their many projects all these years, PWUAASC members have learned how to become organizers and achievers. Through these continued fundraising activities from one administration to the next, the Association’s coffers were continuously supplemented. The constant pulling together of talents and resources has always given credence to the "Bayanihan" spirit, which is deeply ingrained in every Philwomenian and implanted in her heart and her mind, the moment she set foot on the hallowed grounds of her Alma Mater from decades past. "Bayanihan" is her badge and ID card. It is her open secret wherever she is in the world today. PWUAASC, in addition to its on-going scholarship programs for PWU Manila and Iloilo, including funding for the Final Boost Scholarship Program, undertook a myriad of other activities that also focused on the well-being of its members and their immediate families. One of their first initiatives was the Student Achievers Award Program. It rewarded the children of alumni who excelled in academics, and in other fields of youthful endeavors, such as active participation in civic and social action, excellence in various sports, and remarkable success stories in the Arts and Sciences Departments of their schools, colleges, and universities. On their own, many other Philwomenians also assist in no small way in their local communities or in the parish churches they attend.
  • 13. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction Part of PWUAASC’s history are the many activities and events it has held over the years: the Annual Picnics, Christmas Parties and Induction of Officers Dinner Dances; the occasional Casino Fund-raising Turnarounds, the Debutantes’ Balls, Cerritos Spring Festivals, and July 4th Celebrations; feeding of the Homeless of Mission Dolores in East L.A. and the Los Angeles Mission; donation of hygienic packages at the Cardinal Manning Center for homeless men; gifts of school supplies at the Harbor UCLA Pediatric MZ clinic; Relief Fund Drive for the victims of the Mt. Pinatubo disaster in the Philippines and typhoon Ondoy; Philippine (emergency) Disaster Relief Organization (PeDRO) 5K Walk for survivors and families of victims of Super typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda; and numerous other active involvements in other civic and charitable initiatives here and elsewhere; and finally, the publication of an alumni newsletter which will now be part of the newly constructed website. In recent years, the Alma Mater called for financial help to support her Faculty Development Projects. The Association responded right away. It set up a Special Fund for Faculty Development. PWUAASC networks with other Filipino groups in Los Angeles and in other neighboring counties as well, in a genuine show of solidarity and support for other community outreach programs and events that benefit various Filipino and Filipino American groups and communities. In 2006, as part of the100th Year Celebration of Filipino Migration to the USA, the Association participated in a country-wide Santacruzan event now archived in the world-famous Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. PWU alumni have the distinction of being the first to raise funds for Michael Christian Martinez, the only Filipino and the only Southeast Asian in the 2014 Winter Olympics. The name Philippine Women’s University Alumni Association of Southern California, Virginia B. Vivas, President, is engraved on the Dr. Jose P. Rizal Monument in Carson, Calif., the only life-size statue of our national hero. In the year 2017 & 2018 Vicky Soong, Immediate Past President and her officers continued to serve the community by partnering with other non- profit organizations like Search to Involve Filipino American (SIPA) in food distribution to the homeless and participation with St. Elizabeth Seton church food drive. PWUAASC annually participated in celebrating "The Larry Itliong Day", at Carson, CA, the commemoration of Philippine Independence Day, and the "Simbang Gabi "tradition at Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral, in Los Angeles, CA. In 2031, letters buried in a time capsule under the monument during the ground breaking Jose Rizal ceremonies, will be read. One of those letters was written by Lena O. Mazanka for the future generation of families of PWUAASC. The letter read in part…“We hope that our efforts have helped in guiding you to become outstanding citizens of this great country, with deep appreciation of your Filipino roots. It is with great pride that we pass the torch of community leadership and service to you, and trust that you would likewise pass this commitment to the future generations.” Through conscientious efforts of then Past President Arceli C. Gagajena and Past President Virginia B. Vivas, PWUAASC was granted the 501(C)3 status on February 22, 2010. With this tax-exempt status, PWUAASC strives to continue its mission to serve, and look forward to the next 35 years and beyond, building legacies and creating memories. On February, 2019 a group of officers and members of PWUAASC joined other Philwomenians from all over the world to celebrate its Alma Mater's 100th year anniversary in Manila, Philippines. PWUAASC was recognized at the festive event which drew a dignified crowd of Alumni, family, and friends.

  • 53. PWUAASC Anniversary Celebration & Induction PWUAASC MISSION STATEMENT Our Members: Graduates, former students and faculty members of the Philippine Women’s University and its branches and friends of the Association Our Projects: Scholarships, Grants-In-Aid, Book Drive, Financial Aid to Disaster Victims, Seminar/ Workshops, Donation of Educational Materials and Equipment. Our Aim: The Philippine Women’s University of Southern California is a nonprofit corporation established for charitable purposes. Our Philosophy: THE “BAYANIHAN” SPIRIT According to Philippine traditions “bayanihan” is best exemplified when neighbors, friends, relatives, and the “barrio” folks help move a house. It is the spirit of sharing and working together for a common goal. The PWUAASC believes in the “bayanihan” spirit through service in the community, a genuine concern for fellowmen, and a closer affinity among the alumni and the Filipinos as a whole. LOYALTY TO OUR ALMA MATER As the words of our College Hymn resounds, “but my heart beats true forever for the college I love best, I shall cease to treasure never, mem’ries of her in my breast. Loyal may we ever be...Proud may we ever be of the Philippine Women’s University...” so thus, we pledge our loyalty to her. We uphold the ideals and support its aims. THE VALUE OF EDUCATION The PWU legacy says: “Enlighten your minds...inspiring and challenging them toward effective participation in nation-building.” We believe in the molding of our youth as a foundation in the molding of a nation. The PWUAASC is sponsoring scholarships for indigent but deserving students, conducting workshops and seminars for professional growth, and donating education materials to the Alma Mater and to other needy schools in the Philippines. PRIDE IN OUR NATIONAL HERITAGE As immigrants in a foreign country, we are continuous search for our national identity. We take pride of our roots, our customs, our tradition, our cultur, and our race.
