Robin Padilla might have failed to cross-verify the list of what he called Spanish schools established by the European nation in its 300-year reign over the Philippines, which began when Ferdinand Magellan claimed the native isles in the name of Spain in March 1521.

Spain’s reign and control over the Philippines ended on December 10, 1898 when the European nation ceded the Southeast Asian country to the United States, marking the start of American colonization.
On June 16, 1911, the US-based Christian Brothers established the De La Salle College in Paco, Manila.
About 10 years later, or in 1921, the institution moved to Taft Avenue in Malate, Manila, to accommodate its growing student population.
On February 19, 1975, the academic institution was granted university status, and since then has been known as the De La Salle University.
After making many other posts with similar claims on his Facebook page, Robin’s assertions about DLSU being established by Spain was called out by the High School Philippine History Movement.
The group is advocating for the return of Philippine History as a regular subject in junior and senior high school.
They pointed out the mistake of Robin saying that DLSU was established by Spain. In fact, DLSU was established by the American Christian Brothers, more than a decade after Spain turned over the administration of the Philippines to Uncle Sam.

The DLSU has not yet officially made a comment on the claims made by actor Robin Padilla. Even if it makes one, the university is expected to be very gracious, though firm at times, in its words. The school is known to be polite and even magnanimous in its praise, even with enemies who vanquished it in competitions. Around three years ago, DLSU turns blue in honor of Ateneo's championship win 3 years ago by Daisy Mabini. Ateneo De Manila University won the UAAP Season 80 Men's Basketball championship. The Blue Eagles took the crown from De La Salle University. The Green Archers salute their longtime archrivals by lighting up their campus in blue.
DLSU is also known to help those in need. Last year, the school provided temporary shelter for homeless people in the area and became a home to 61 homeless people, who are provided mats for sleeping. They are also practicing social distancing as their mats are a meter apart. The homeless shelter program was done in partnership with Divine Word Missionaries.
