SAIDI Graduate School of OD now nested
@ the Loyola, Quezon City University Environs

At the 2011 General Assembly of SAIDI Foundation, Inc., a lengthy and animated conversation set the decisive move to set up this information office of the Graduate School of OD here at 88 Loyola along Esteban Abada Street, Quezon City. It was Sr. Flor Pauline Duran, Carm O.L. who moved that it is now time to heed to everybody’s request to set up an office for the GSOD in the ‘lowland!’ … outside the hills of Antipolo City. Dr. Cez Gutierrez happily seconded the motion. The GA assembly approved the motion unanimously.

At a Board Meeting of SAIDI Foundation, Inc. last 12 August 2012, Sr. Flor Pauline Duran, Carm.OL, again as proponent, the Graduate School of OD was granted formal and unanimous approval to secure a rent-to-own place for its information cum-training SPACE. The Board likewise designated both Sr. Flor Pauline Duran and Dr. Nellie Ilas to negotiate and transact with SOPHIA Land regarding this SPACE.

In this SPACE, the following are provided:
The Information Office, Dean’s Loyola Office, Registrar’s Loyola Office, a mini-library, a 40/50 seating- training room, consultation and partners’ lounge and yes, a simple pantry offering mentors, graduates and students a cup of coffee or tea or more (if you care to bring the „more‟!).
It is accessible by MRT:
Take from Cubao the Santolan route and get off @ Katipunan, Aurora. Cross the street, walk a few steps on Katipunan St. towards the tricycle station. And say, “88 Abada St. – the white building.” It is accessible by jeepney, car or taxi. Abada St. is the 1st street parallel to (Loyola Heights) – Katipunan. When coming from Cubao or White Plains or Marikina, cruise on Katipunan – until past Gate 3 – Ateneo de Manila University. Do a U-turn on the 1st slot along this road, and immediately veer to the right lane and do a right turn just on sight of KFC. Go straight ahead and turn right. You are now on Abada Street and in a few meters, to your left, there is the white building. You won’t miss our school logo and signage: “SAIDI Graduate School of OD.” Now, if coming from the UP side, watch out for Rustan’s Supermarket (on the right side) and main gate of Miriam College (on the left side). Right after the supermarket, take a right turn on the street perpendicular to Katipunan. You just hit B. Gonzales St. And finally, take the 1st left turn – which brings you to Abada St. The 1st white building on your right is 88 Loyola. The signage welcomes you that you have indeed hit the right place!

A good beginning this 2014
for our beloved SAIDI Graduate School of OD.
See you at our new nesting place!
