Three Administrators coordinate the Collegio‘s day to day activities: a Rector, a Vice-Rector/Economus, and a Spiritual Director. Four Filipina Dominican Sisters (OP’s of the Congregación de las Religiosas Misioneras de Santo Domingo, who have their Provincialate right beside the University of Santo Tomas in Manila) help as support staff of our Pontifical College. They are assisted by four lay personnel.

Fr. Greg is a priest of the Archdiocese of Manila. A native of Silay City, Negros Occidental, he studied at the Philippine Science High School and the University of the Philippines (BS Zoology and two years Medicine proper) before deciding to become a priest. The late Jaime L. Cardinal Sin sent him for seminary formation to Pamplona, Spain, and to do the Licentiate and Doctorate in Moral Theology at the Angelicum in Rome.
