HAPPY FOUNDER’S DAY!

Today marks the 107th birth anniversary of our dearly beloved founder, Engr. Ricardo Torrillo Salas—a visionary whose life’s work has left a lasting mark not only on the Western Institute of Technology but also on countless lives shaped through education.

Born on June 24, 1918, Engr. Salas would go on to establish WIT 46 years later, planting the seeds of opportunity, growth, and service for the youth of Western Visayas. More than just a founder, he was a humble and compassionate leader—fondly remembered not only as a boss but also as a father figure to the WIT community. As one of his longtime employees once shared, “He was not only a leader, but a father who genuinely cared for all WIT employees and staff.”

His dream was clear: to make quality, affordable education accessible to all—especially to those with limited means. Guided by our core values of Wisdom, Integrity, and Truth, and upholding the principles of faith, honesty, and compassion, his vision continues to inspire generations.

As we celebrate his life today, we also recommit ourselves to continue his mission: by opening doors to equal opportunities, nurturing persevering, dedicated, and globally competitive graduates, and staying true to the values he lived by.

A legacy that will continue for generations to come… Happy Founder’s Day, WITtians! 🧡🔥✨
