HISTORY OF DEPED-MANILA
The marshland of Nilad that was the ancient kingdom of Rajah Soliman entered the pages of history when Legaspi founded on June 24, 1571 within the walls of Intramurous the Ever Loyal and Nolbe City that would be Manila.
With the Spaniards, came the missionaries and religious orders who introduced formal instruction in the classrooms. The Jesuits established colleges for boys. The Colegio de San Ignacio (1589) in Manila, the Colegio de San Ildefonso (1595) in Cebu, and Colegio de San Jose (1601). Later, Universities were established: The University of Sto. Tomas in 1611 and the Ateneo de Manila in 1630. The educational decree of 183 established a system of supervision as well as normal school for teachers.
Following the defeat of the Spanish Armada in the Battle of Manila Bay and the American Occupation of Manila on August 13,1898, seven schools were opened, namely: Manila High School (now Araullo High School), Concepcion Primary School for Girls, Concepcion Primary school for Boys, First Binondo Girls' School (now P. Guevarra Elementary School), and San Miguel Primary School - all existing schools during the Spanish regime. Filipino and Spanish teachers provided instruction. These schools formed the Nucleus of what later was to become the public school system provided by Act No. 74, enacted by the Philippine Commission on January 21, 1901.
