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. |
