ARIEL JERARD V. ARIAS II
Executive Vice President, Cavite School of St. Mark

OUTSTANDING PRIVATE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND EMPOWERMENT AWARD

Ariel Jerard V. Arias II is widely recognized for his steadfast leadership as Executive Vice President of the Cavite School of St. Mark (CSSM), a position he has served with dedication and distinction since 2010. Beyond his professional achievements, he considers his most important role to be that of a father to two compassionate boys—an identity that continually shapes his values, priorities, and leadership style. His capacity to combine strategic insight with genuine personal purpose has earned him the Outstanding Private School Leadership and Empowerment Award, a testament to his commitment to educational excellence and faculty empowerment.
🎓 Academic and Professional Foundations
Mr. Arias’s strong academic background has shaped his analytical, strategic, and people-centered approach to school leadership. He holds an exceptional dual degree from De La Salle University in Manila—a Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Management of Financial Institutions. He later fortified his leadership capacity by completing a Master’s Degree in Management from the Asian Institute of Management (AIM), one of the region’s foremost institutions for executive education.

Before entering the education sector, Mr. Arias built a robust career in banking and later explored entrepreneurial ventures. These early professional experiences deepened his understanding of finance, operational systems, and strategic planning. When he joined CSSM in 1999 as School Administrator, he brought with him a high level of discipline, business acumen, and a sincere passion for student development and institution building.

💡 Executive Leadership and Institutional Growth
As Executive Vice President, Mr. Arias leads with a clear and unwavering mission: to ensure the sustainable, efficient, and future-ready operations of CSSM. His leadership is characterized by practical innovation and fiscal responsibility, enabling the school to maintain its commitment to quality education despite the typical resource constraints faced by private institutions. He consistently identifies smart, cost-effective solutions for acquiring essential equipment, upgrading facilities, and enhancing the overall learning environment—efforts that have allowed CSSM to grow steadily and responsibly under his stewardship.

🧑‍🏫 Champion of Teacher Empowerment
Mr. Arias’s award reflects his profound impact on advancing faculty empowerment and strengthening the school’s instructional capacity. He has cultivated a school culture where teachers are not only supported but also respected as professional partners. His initiatives include:

Strategic Professional Development
He ensures that faculty members have access to high-impact training programs—particularly in EdTech integration and contemporary pedagogical strategies—so teachers remain equipped for the evolving demands of modern education.

Improved Classroom and Laboratory Resources
Leveraging his experience in finance and procurement, Mr. Arias finds sustainable means to upgrade essential teaching tools, from projectors and faculty computers to specialized laboratory equipment. These upgrades remove barriers to instruction and allow teachers to innovate with confidence.

Empowerment Through Autonomy
He actively includes faculty perspectives in key decisions, particularly in curriculum development and resource planning. By fostering an environment of trust, collaboration, and professional agency, he empowers educators to take meaningful ownership of their work and student outcomes.

Through these initiatives, Mr. Arias has strengthened not only the operational foundation of the Cavite School of St. Mark but also the professional environment in which its teachers thrive. His leadership continues to inspire excellence, cultivate empowerment, and shape a school community rooted in integrity, growth, and shared purpose.

Principal
Colegio De San Rafael Arcangel, Inc.

"PHILIPPINES’ MOST INSPIRING EDUCATIONAL AND PASTORAL LEADERSHIP AWARD"

Giving Hope to the Hopeless:

The Leadership Journey of Rev. Fr. Enrico Julian N. Paglinawan at Colegio de San Rafael Archangel

Colegio de San Rafael Archangel—formerly known as Pili Parochial School—stands as an institution built on faith, resilience, and a deep commitment to serving the community. Established to provide quality elementary education to the people of Pili, Camarines Sur, the school faced one of its greatest challenges in 2019 when it encountered severe financial difficulties that brought it close to bankruptcy.

At this critical moment, the Archbishop of Caceres, Most Rev. Rolando Tria Tirona, appointed Rev. Fr. Enrico Julian N. Paglinawan as the new principal, entrusting him with the task of restoring stability and hope to the struggling institution. With only 118 enrolled students—the lowest in its history—the situation called for decisive and transformative action.

Upon evaluating the school’s condition, Fr. Enrico identified three major concerns:
1. Declining enrollment caused by high tuition fees and perceived low academic quality.
2. Frequent teacher resignations that created instability in instruction.
3. The school’s weakened identity and minimal presence in the community.

With these insights, he initiated a series of bold innovations. He recalibrated tuition fees to make education more accessible, particularly to middle-income and marginalized families. To further support learners, he introduced non-traditional scholarship programs such as the benefactor system and sponsorship initiatives.

Understanding the importance of empowered educators, he established new benefits for teachers, including scholarships for their children, free meals, and improved health care. He also revised the curriculum, grounding it in the lived experiences of the students and strengthening its alignment with the pastoral programs of the Church.

Central to his vision was reviving the identity of the Catholic learner—a “person of wisdom with faith.” Students were encouraged to actively participate in various church ministries, fostering spiritual growth that extended to their families and the broader community.

The community’s response was overwhelming. Enrollment steadily increased:
• 176 in 2020
• 345 in 2021
• 456 in 2022
• 567 in 2023

This growth enabled the school to open both Junior High School and Senior High School. Continuing its mission to serve financially challenged youth, the institution launched its college department with the College of Education, major in Special Needs Education, resulting in 889 college enrollees in 2024 and 957 in 2025.

To support working students, especially those attending evening classes, Fr. Enrico forged partnerships with private companies and fast-food establishments, allowing learners to work during the day and pursue their degrees at night. He ensured added sustainability by leading fundraising activities such as concerts, caroling, and raffle drives.

His leadership extended beyond the school’s walls. His active involvement in private education advocacy led to his election as Vice President of the Organization of Private Schools Association in Camarines Sur (OPSCI) and his appointment as Provincial Chaplain of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines.

Today, Colegio de San Rafael Archangel stands as a testament to compassion, resilience, and visionary leadership. Through the dedication of Rev. Fr. Enrico Julian N. Paglinawan, the institution continues to embody its mission—giving hope to the hopeless and transforming lives through faith and education.
