  • Although not a Catholic, I attended 5th grade at the Maryknoll school in 1947-48. My father was the base Signal Officer at Camp John Hay and the Maryknoll school was the only one in Baguio that taught in English.
  • I studied at what was then Maryknoll Convent School from 1951 (Kindergarten) to 1958 (6th grade) and had for teachers Sr. Carmencita, Sr. John Eileen, Sr. Candida Maria, Sr. Margaret George (who taught me how to read when it was found out I couldn't read a single word in Grade 2), and Sr. Janet Mary. Sr. Rose Madeline was principle at one time. I will forever treasure those years spent on that lovely hill and in that lovely building (alas demolished after the 1990 earthquake). -- Benjie Abellera
  • Joe, who were your teachers at Maryknoll in Baguio? Was Sr. Rose Anthony one of them? She was my older brother's teacher, and he graduated from Maryknoll in 1952. You may even have known him since he started there in 1946. His name is Ernesto C. Abellera. -- Benjie A.
  • Joe, it's so good to know that you attended Maryknoll right after WW II. I hope we'll get to exchange memories of old Baguio and of Maryknoll. Baguio is an entirely different city today, with 500,000 people on any given day, a large portion of whom being squatters. So different from the Baguio I grew up in -- a lazy, laid-back small town.
