A CENTURY OF GREATNESSis the story of the country’s first business school, José Rizal College (JRC), founded in 1919 by Vicente Fabella, a 28-year-old Certified Public Account (CPA), the first Filipino to pass the USA CPA board.

Aninclusive education with an open admission policy for youth from lower income families, continues to be upheld.

Aerial photos show its expansiveness. Box stories and testimonials from illustrious alumni add human drama to the compelling tale. The book ends with images of the yearlong centennial celebration, which brought JRU leaders, alumni, teachers, students, friendsto the momentous well-planned events.
