 History of Asbury College Inc.
Asbury College is the only United Methodist related educational
institution located in the island town of Anda, which is the “Mother
Island of the Hundred Islands,” in the province of Pangasinan,
Philippines. AsburyCollege is a non-stock, non-profit and non-
sectarian United Methodist institution.Following World War II, there
was a need for a higher education for children and youth on the
island of Anda. There was no institution for higher learning
(meaning secondary education), and young people wishing to
further their studies had to go “abroad” to the mainland. Since life
was very difficult due to the war years, and finances were limited,
many youth did not have the opportunity to study.It was for this
reason that Asbury came into existence. But the birth of Asbury did
not happen suddenly. It went through a process, which was
carefully planned and nurtured. Its beginning was unusual – for it
took an American United Methodist missionary, the Rev. LeRoy
Klaus, not a native Andanean – to envision and conceive the idea of a
secondary school.The Methodist Church Mission Board in the United
States was consulted, and gave their approval. Then a note was sent
from Manila to Anda on “the wings of the flying ‘Parson’s'(Spotty
Spottswood, another American Methodist missionary) plane. The
plan buzzed above the beach of Tondol with the Methodist Mission
Board’s “GO” signal. The seed word was dropped in a handkerchief
parachute on the beach, announcing the opening of a school.On
January 6, 1946, the Methodist secondary school was made a reality,
and it was named ASBURY HIGH SCHOOL, after the late Rev. Francis
Asbury, the first American Bishop of The Methodist Church in the
U.S.A.
On January 9, 1946, a government permit was granted to the school
to open the first two years of high school education. A campaign for
students and a search for faculty was begun. Local building were
located and rented for classrooms and offices. It took more than a
year for the preparations, and in June 1947, the school formally
opened. In 1948, three local families – Mr. & Mrs. Victorino Cena, Mr.
& Mrs. Elias Celeste, and Mr. & Mrs. Hermogenes de Castro – donated
portions of land for the Asbury High School campus. Two years later,
in 1950, construction of classrooms and offices were undertaken on
the newly acquired campus. It was also on this year that Asbury
produced her first batch of twenty (20) graduates.
 In June 1, 1955 Asbury High School was granted government
recognition, and from then on, the school produced a large
number of graduates who pursued college education outside of
Anda. The exodus of graduates going to the mainland for
college education posed a challenge to the Board of Tustees and
faculty. To address this need, Asbury applied for a permit to
offer a one-year Liberal Arts in 1966, which was granted by the
Department of Education. The following year, 1967, a permit
was granted to offer a second year Liberal Arts. In June 5, 1984,
the government recognition was given for the school to offer a
complete four (4) year Liberal Arts degree. It was at this time
that Asbury High School became ASBURY COLLEGE with a full
pledge college status.In 2002, Asbury opened an elementary
department, including a pre-school in order to provide
education to the young as well as to serve as a laboratory
school for the tertiary department to offer degree programs in
Bachelor of Elementary and Secondary Education, which were
also granted to open in 2005. Those studying secondary
education were offered majors in English, Mathematics and
Filipino. In July 2011, the pre-school department was given
government recognition. The elementary department is
working toward government recognition for the very near
future. Asbury College, Inc. today is the home of pre-school,
elementary, secondary and tertiary education to over 1,000
children and youth. It has a full-time faculty and staff of 33 and
a part-time tertiary faculty of 16.
Morever, as United Methodist related institution, Asbury
continues to offer a sustainable, best quality and affordable
education to the youth of Anda and beyond in a Christian
environment. Since her birth, Asbury has produced hundreds of
alumni who are living and working not only all over the
Philippines but also abroad. Many are serving in different fields
like education, medicine, engineering, arts, civil service,
government and politics, etc. One of the prides of Asbury is her
graduates who became church workers – pastors and
deaconesses. This is a living testimony on how Asbury has
become a place where young lives are taught, trained, nurtured
and transformed to be productive members of their
communities, their nation and of the world. The dream in 1946
became a reality, and the dream lives on for Asbury to one day
be a UNIVERSITY!

 Reflection

The central focus of the first field study is all about the learners and
the environment where they are honed, developed and nurtured into
a desired individual. Lessons and discussions under this subject is a
great opportunity to know who the learners are and what are their
present stand and point in the whole educative process. The best
way to understand the learners in a general sense is by way of in
depth thinking and analysis of the current trend and shift of
education which has a direct impact and effect to the learners. The
change of the perspective goes hand in hand with the potential
change of how we view these individuals. It has been emphasized so
many times that gone are the days where the teacher is the center
of the process and learners are just passive and waiting to be filled
up with knowledge.Another concern of the study is to take a look on
the environment where the learners will be developed. Several
topics were anchored on describing what an essential and conducive
learning environment is for the learners. An environment that is
engaging, comfortable and free from any disruptions that may lead
to poor learning. A place that is fun and worth spending for. Through
Field Study 1, I was able to have my first off- campus field
observation. The very main point for the observation is to have a
first hand in contact with the learners as well as to conduct an
observation on the physical aspects of the school such as the
different facilities, classrooms, etc. It's the very first time that I was
able to meet a lot students coming from different fields. It is also the
very first time for me to have an actual classroom observation. I
learned a lot of things from the student up until issues concerning
the overall aspect of the learning environment. My cooperating
teacher shared a lot of insights and tips on how to make a classroom
effective and conducive to the varied and different needs of the
diverse learners. I was able to conduct field interviews to the
teachers, students, department heads and staff of the school as
regards on how they view the learners as well as their ways and
styles on making an active and engaging learning environment.The
observation ended successfully with a lot of learnings and
experiences gained. I ended up to with so many great realizations
and reflections with the experience. In totality, the very first thing
that a teacher must do is to understand and know the individuality
of all the learners' inside the perimeter of the classroom before
starting or doing anything. Making sure that all the succeeding
processes be anchored on the needs of the learners.
