| The City and Province of Iloilo are blessed by the presence of Assumption Iloilo, one of the biggest Assumption schools in the Philippine-Thailand Province of the Religious of the Assumption. Since its foundation in 1910, Assumption Iloilo has seen the best and the worst. Today, Assumption Iloilo has every right to claim that it's one of the best basic education institutions in this part of the country. |

| The Iloilo Community of the Religious of the Assumption ( RA ) is housed in a beautiful edifice inside the Assumption Iloilo campus along the scenic Iloilo River. It is aptly called the 'Casa Santa'. During school days, one can see Assumption nuns strolling around the area, either on foot or on the stretcher. |

| My favorite place in the Casa Santa is the Adoration Chapel which I have visited three times in my four years as an Assumption Iloilo facilitator. I remember Cecile Glorette Adrias, my department coordinator, bringing me to Casa Santa one Friday afternoon because I was stressed working with a colleague I coudn't connect to in the workplace. I stayed there for half an hour trying to see Jesus visibly present under the appearance of a small white host. There I felt my need to foster a greater community spirit, with Jesus' presence in the Blessed Sacrament as its center. |

True to its name, Assumption Iloilo's Casa Santa is indeed a 'holy house'!
