General Pio del Pilar National High School (abbreviated as: GPDPNHS, filipino: Mataas na Paaralang Pambansa ng Heneral Pio del Pilar, informal: Pio) is a Public Secondary School located in Osias St., Barangay Poblacion, Makati. It follows the newly-enforced MATATAG curriculum set by the Department of Education for its Grade 7 students while offering the K-12 Curriculum for Grade 8 - 10.[3]

Etymology

[edit]
Pio del Pilar's tomb is located at the Mausoleo de los Veteranos de la Revolución (Mausoleum of the Revolutionary Veterans) in the Manila North Cemetery.

The school was named after General Pio del Pilar, a local hero of Makati during the revolutionary period in 1896 - 1898.[4][5] Embittered by Jose Rizal's unjust arrest, he joined the Katipunan in May 1896 and formed a chapter called Matagumpay, taking the symbolic name Pang-una.[5][6] As secretary of Magtagumpay, the Makati chapter Pio led about a thousand men in the latter stage of the Battle of San Juan del Monte in August 1896. They took part in the barely remembered battles fought under Andres Bonifacio around what is now Metro Manila, and the subsequent move to Cavite under Emilio Aguinaldo.[7] He was appointed the army corps commander by Andres Bonifacio and when the Supremo died, he joined Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo's forces and became one of his trusted generals.[8]

History

[edit]

Founded by the former Senator Jovito Salonga in 1947, Pio del Pilar Education Institution pioneered the journey not only in the field of private education but also high school education, being the first private high school in Makati.[9] Its first location was in Jose Rizal Avenue cor. Escuela St. until it relocated in 1971 at F. Zobel St. cor. Morong St., both in Barangay Poblacion.[9] PDEI's existence lasted until 1999 until it was bought by the School Board of the City Government of Makati.[10]

After being purchased, the former Pamantasan ng Makati - Science and Technology High School (PNM - STHS) teachers was transferred under the supervision of the Department of Education - Schools Division of Makati to the now-called "Makati High School – Pio Del Pilar Annex (MHS – PDP)" under the leadership of Ms. Ma. Corazon L. Jose as the Principal in June 2001.[10]

The annexation of MHS - PDP became the transition period towards its eventual independence thus becoming the now-known General Pio del Pilar National High School on June 28, 2002 via the City ordinance no.99-078 providing quality education for its constituents.[10]
