1970
The Philippine Buddhist Seng Guan Memorial Institute, also known as P.B.S.G.M.I., was established in honor of the Venerable Archbishop Seng Guan, who was a zealous disciple of the Lord Buddha. He was a man who humbly served humanity; a man who lived his faith guided by the supreme ideals of peace, harmony and a strong ambition to spread Buddhism. One of his disciples named Rev. Sik Tang Jit founded the school.
The P.B.S.G.M.I. had humble beginnings. It started to offer a Kindergarten course with only 21 pupils. To accommodate its enrollees, the school utilized a room in one of the buildings of the Hwa Chong Temple of Buddha as classroom. As the number of enrollees increased, other rooms in the same building were used and the school gradually complied with the requirements set by the Department of Education.
1974 & 1980
In subsequent years, other courses such as Nursery, Preparatory and Complete Elementary Education were opened. The Pre-School and Elementary Courses were given government recognition in 1974 and 1980, respectively.
1992
The school realized its dream of having its own school site and buildings when it transferred to its present location adjacent to the Hwa Chong Temple of Buddha. Whatever the school had attained and accomplished can be attributed to the sacrifices and commitment of the people responsible for its growth and development.
2002
The school offered a complete secondary course and has been recognized since 2006. Its first graduation exercises highlighted the celebration of the 35th Foundation Day of the School and was celebrated in Manila Hotel.
