The death of Fr. Thomas Steinbugler saw the outpouring of thanks and gratitude of former beneficiaries of the scholarship grants and aid that came/passed through the office of the beloved Jesuit father. We could only be grateful for the grace and the gifts that were bestowed upon us.
Our Foundation and company has given away 30 college scholarships to poor and deserving students. When my mother died, I did not see any one of them. I never received any card nor any letter from any of the students whom the Amado M. Saguinsin Memorial Foundation has helped..
It is either they have poor memories, never really were educated, or simply have culture of entitlement - ie the world our Foundation owed them a God given right to finish college.
I hope they would be successful or no longer poor (in spirit)

Condolence and Prayers for the Late Fr. Thomas Steinbugler former Dean of Admission and Aid
Lux in Domino
Rizal Philippines | June 12, 2014
I recently got the word this morning that Fr. Tom Steinbugler, former Dean of Admission and Aid passed away and his body lies in state at the Ateneo Loyola Chapels He will be buried on Saturday.
We had meeting with him sometime in June, 2 years ago at the Ateneo Loyola cafeteria. Some notable beneficiaries of Fr. Tom's legacy included former Sec of Health Manuel Dayrit, Congressman Jonathan de la Cruz to name others.
He died of lingering illness and probably old age.
We owe so much to this guy. I remember when he sent me a handwritten note informing me that I got an Ateneo scholarship. I did not know much about Ateneo nor did I expect to pass the Ateneo entrance exam, after then activist Emman Lacaba encouraged us at Rizal High School to take Ateneo entrance exam. He said that Ateneo at that time was encouraging that public schools bright students/graduate should find home in Ateneo.
Fr Stein made it happen.
May he rest in peace.
Thanks Fr. Stein

De La Salle University a school for the poor a presentation at Fourth Regional PRME forum by Br. Michael Broughton
Fourth Regional PRME Forum, APS Auditorium, Rockwell, Makati City November 15 2013
Br. Michael Broughton of De La Salle University
Bro Michael Broughton, a Singaporean, Vice Chancellor for Mission of De la Salle made a strong case for the mission and vision of the university, namely it is the school for the poor. He said that there is a sense of contradiction that the school serves for the poor, but it does not mean it does not serve the god of excellence.
However, I was waiting for the SMART details on why is school for the poor. The only thing I saw coming was having 20% of its students as scholars. And its practice of reflection (used by Catholics vs spread of Communism in Europe) Aside from the scholars project, the social enterprise programs of at least 3 schools at Loyola, the immersion programs, is something that even NUS want to emulate and benchmark, we are forced to state.
Michael Go did a better job of explaining how he helped the poor farmers.
