The student population of Liceo de San Jacinto Foundation, Incorporated (LSJFI) has swelled tremendously over the pre-pandemic period through the present. Mr. Noe C. Esparrago, LSJFI Chief of Staff, noted this as he addressed the new students during the orientation day gathering all academic year 2022-2023 college enrollees last October 12, 2022 at Plaza Añonuevo in San Jacinto, Masbate.
The tentative figure comes around 3,200, with the college making up the 2,400 and the pre-school, elementary and high school constituting over 800. The figures are not final because, according to the school registrar, the enrolment process this semester continues.
Mr. Esparrago came out with a comparison of 1,800 enrolled in 2018, 2,600 during the pandemic period and 3,200 today. “We (the school) are getting bigger and bigger,” enthused Esparrago thus drawing positive feedback and expectations from the audience and other observers.
