they had exemplified as the pillars of the university.
The first one is Jose C. Olivares, he founded Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in

will train the health care workers. In 1973, they developed Our Lady of Fatima College
of Nursing and eventually the first batch of students graduate from Fatima 100% passed
in the Nursing Board examinations. Olivares strives harder to pursue his dreams for
Fatima and it’s happening now because Fatima is consistent topnotchers in the Medical
Board. He only shown to not to stop pursuing your dreams strive harder so that it will
come true.
The second one is Dr. Vicente M. Santos and his wife Mrs. Juliet Olivares
Santos, they continued the vision of Mr. Olivares. Before Fatima only offers the
programs of the College of Nursing but in 1990 they improved and it offers more
academic programs about business, technology, and maritime. Eventually, Mr. Santos
became the first president of the university as a tribute to Mr. Olivares, and this time it
starts the virtues of “veritas et misericordia” which means truth and compassion. But in
2003 he died so that his wife Mrs. Santos takeover of being the second president of the

education. Mr. and Mrs. Santos conserved the Fatima so well as it improved more and

university and had a lot of recognition. She continues to expand the university and in
2008 the OLFU Antipolo was established it helps the people in Rizal because at last,
