Zamora Memorial College (formerly the Zamora Memorial Institute) is a private school in Bacacay, Albay, Philippines,〔http://www.philippinecompanies.com/companyprofile/49792/zamora-memorial-college〕 that offers secondary and tertiary education. Founded in 1948 by Crispin Bermas Vergara, Sr., its name commemorates Friar Juan Zamora of Tayabas, Quezon, the founder of the first collegiate school in Albay. ==History== Zamora Memorial College was founded as Zamora Memorial Institute on October 24, 1948 by a retired supervisor of the Division of Albay, Crispin Bermas Vergara Sr. This was in response to the growing need for secondary education of Bacacayanos. The first campus of the institute was a rented building located in the corner of Bes and Barrameda Streets in Bacacay. A typhoon struck and the building was destroyed. Several parents and benefactors helped in reconstructing the school. For its new site, Mr. Vergara purchased a 1.5 ha parcel of land from Dona Beatrice Alparce which to this day is the present site of the school. The first school building constructed was made of bamboo and nipa. Through the years, this building was replaced by concrete building to withstand typhoons which frequently visit the town. Additional concrete buildings were subsequently constructed to accommodate the growing number of enrollment.〔ZMC Alumni Homecoming Souvenir Program〕 In 1996, with the growing clamor for access to tertiary education in Bacacay, the Board of Trustees responded with the opening of the college department. At the time of its opening, it was fully recognized by the Commission on Higher Education. It started with two students and part-time faculty with classes in the evening. In 1998, ZMC celebrated its 50th Founding Anniversary and renewed its commitment to continue educating generations of Bacacayanos. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zamora Memorial College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
