Source-derived summary

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Learning Center (OLMCLC), also known as Mount Carmel La Salle or simply Mount Carmel, was a private Catholic elementary school run under the direct supervision of the De La Salle Brothers, a Roman Catholic religious order founded by St. John Baptist de la Salle, the patron saint of teachers. It is located in Calipayan Road, Punta Tabuc, Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines. Originally named Mt. Carmel Family Life Learning Center, the school started as a preschool for indigent children at the residence of Atty. Virginia Patiño with eight students. It later transferred to its current site in Punta Tabuc after the school was able to purchase a land and received a grant from a German foundation.

History

In response to the suggestion of Sor Paula Vargas of St. Anthony College Hospital to build a school for indigent children, Atty. Virginia Patiño founded Mount Carmel Family Life Learning Center with solicited support from individuals of the Christian Family Movement.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Our Lady of Mount Carmel Learning Center” is private elementary school. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Lady, Mount and Carmel, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current 162-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1988. For this dossier, Lady, Mount and Carmel is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “private elementary school” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7110916. Authority coordinates are 11.573, 122.749. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
