Tahilan first opened as Tanglaw Residence Hall for young university women in the early ’70s on San Rafael Street in San Miguel, Manila. Years later, it moved to 2396 Leon Guinto and took the name “Tahilan”—signifying a beam used in bridge-building. Since then, Tahilan has become a home away from home, where residents are led to appreciate the true value of university life and authentic character development.
Tahilan is a study center for female university and high school students. It is a residence that provides commendable accommodations and other services that include laundry, cleaning, and meals cooked just like at home. This is made possible by the collaboration of the Maligaya Institute for Culinary Arts and Residential Services.
Tahilan Residence and Study Center envisions the holistic development of future women leaders of society by providing a program of activities and a proper atmosphere that fosters in each one the true value of university life and the development of an authentic Christian character.
