Popularly known as the Father of Modern Education, St. John remains well-venerated in many parts of the world including the Philippines.
A sacred relic of the French saint, a gift from the Christian Brothers’ Institute in Rome, Italy on the Lasallian centennial in 2011, is enshrined at the Chapel of the Most Blessed Sacrament, at the De La Salle University on Taft Avenue, Manila.
The De La Salle Christian Brothers are members of a worldwide educational movement in about 80 countries with more than 800,000 students.
St. John Baptist de la Salle was a French Catholic priest and a pioneer in founding training colleges for teachers, reform schools for delinquents, technical schools, and schools for modern languages, arts, and sciences. His work quickly spread throughout France, and after his death on April 7, 1719, continued to spread across the world.

NORTH PROVIDENCE – Local police are conceding that they haven’t been ticketing motorists for infractions as they typically would without a pandemic, due largely to fear over contracting coronavirus.
But with officers now vaccinated, and the world emerging from COVID-19, they say they’ll get those ticketing efforts back into gear.
Deputy Chief Alfredo Ruggiero made the concession during the Town Council’s “speed bump summit” last Thursday, March 11. He told council members that there had been 72 police posts over the previous five days since Mayor Charles Lombardi told police they need to ramp up their efforts.
Lombardi said officials should give police some time to address his recent requests for more enforcement, waiting some weeks to call them back for an update. He said that prior to this month’s ticketing spree, there is “no way” police have come close to 72 posts over a five-day period in the past six months.

In a report from DZMM Radio, an officer from the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB) stopped the Honda Jazz for “disregarding lane markings.” Instead of stopping, the vehicle swerved and collided with six motorcycles and eight four-wheel vehicles from Taft Ave corner Padre Faura until Taft Ave corner Ayala Blvd.
