Design : The centennial
stamp shows a replica of the facade of the original building
constructed nearly a hundred years ago. The entire building
and additional structures constructed through the years before
1941 were completely destroyed by incendiary bombs during the
liberation of Manila. A sense of history prompted the
superiors of St. Scholastica's College to have a true
re-construction of the main building.
Two features
characterize the building: its stark simplicity and the three
rounded arches that announce a welcome. The three arches are
a symbol of the Trinity in Unity and the Unity in Three - the
core for Whom the school exists and towards Whom all in it
leads.
The facade is completely
bare except for the seal at the center, which bears the Greek
initials of Jesus Christ, the One in Three. It speaks of the
singleness of purpose: honor and glory for Him in all
endeavours within its walls and beyond - within this century
and onwards in time.
