indentAs Operation Brotherhood Montessori Center, Inc. celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, we honor its founder Ambassador Preciosa S. Soliven for pioneering the internationally acclaimed Montessori System of Education in the Philippines. She has championed the rights of the child to quality education from preschool to the college level...both for the rich and the poor.
indentAs Secretary General of the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines, she propagates Education for Sustainable Development in the public schools of Region 3. She has also converted the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Day Care programs in Lipa, Batangas and Ifugao Province into Pagsasarili Preschools.
indent"We are all Keepers of the Flame. The CHILD is the vessel and the bearer of the light of Christ. From him will shine forth a golden ray of light to guide the destiny of this nation."
indentAmbassador Preciosa S. Soliven has faith in the Filipino...in the down-home, deep-down love of country that springs from the deep corner of every sincere Filipino heart. She has always pursued that good (knowledge) and devoted her life to leading little children out of the shadow of that opposing evil (ignorance).
indentTo Ambassador Soliven..her vision, courage and love of country makes her truly a shining example to all.
