Venerable Mother Ignacia del Espíritu Santo
Virgin, Religious Sister, Foundress, The Religious of the Virgin Mary


Look at Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo! 
Would she have banned Muslim students donning the hijaab when they are dressed just like her? 
Why disallow modestly clad Filipino Muslims from enrolling when they are similarly garbed like Virgin Mary?
Pilar College lives by the motto: 
Initium Sapientiate Timor Domini
"The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom"

The Fear of other Religious Faiths is the Promptings of Bigotry...
Taqwa or piety and God-consciousness is reflected in one's mode of dressing;

 Filipino Muslims students who wear the hijaab possess Fear of the Lord, ar-Rabbal aalameen.

  1. Original Article An official of the Pilar College of Zamboanga City Inc. the other day confirmed the school’s rules and regulation prohibits female Muslim students from wearing “hijab” or veil inside the learning institution. In a letter addressed to Mayor Celso Lobregat dated July 09, 2012 Pilar College of Zamboanga City president Sister Maria Nina Balbas validated the allegation in response to a City Council resolution authored by Councilor Mel Sadain last June 27, 2012 with regards to complaints made by female Muslim students that they are being disallowed from using the hijab or veil in the said school. “Our origin is Roman Catholic and we cannot deviate from that origin. Balbas said the school freely adopts its own policies, standards,… regulations and sets forth its conditions for those wishing to join the community as students. “This is part of academic freedom in connection with which the school has the right to choose whom to teach,” the letter emphasized.

      Why this is important

      Woe to Academic Freedom of Pilar College. This is pure Islamophobia.

      Woe to Arrogance. Let your formation and teachings remain in your realms of inflated discrimination to choose whom you want to teach, the favor of Christian students over Muslim students. That is your call. We clearly get the message.

      Woe to Ignorance. Every error is an error of substance, a betrayal of ignorance and inexperience, the academic equivalent of the double dribble. Hypocrisy alone is a matter of malicious judgment and the failure to grasp what is there and what is not truly deliberates the kind of teachings you want to impart to the world.

      The Call to Action to STOP patronizing Pilar College, the RVM Congregation and its entire institution and its affiliations.

      The Call to Action to STOP sending your MUSLIM CHILDREN and to pull them out of Pilar College either from elementary, high school or college level.

      The Call to Action to STOP Pilar College MUSLIM ALUMNI and Associates and Friends to support, to promote, to defend, to encourage, to uphold, to favor, to assist or to aid in any shapes or form that of beneficial and profitable to the institution.

We should not falter. We should not question each other's intentions. Let us set aside our differences. Our goal is to come together and be as one strong community. We are Muslims.

      Lastly, The Call to Action to Pilar College to totally and strictly Ban Muslim Students in your institution. Make your academic freedom absolute and error free. Stand up to your rules.
