[3] In line with the Lasallian Mission, the network holds various projects that improve educational communities for the youth, especially to those who are poor.

Archbishop Harty's request was rejected at first due to lack of funds, however he would continue to appeal to Pope Pius X for the establishment of additional Catholic educational institutions in the country.

Because of increasing student population, the Brothers transferred the educational institution to its present location on Taft Avenue in the Malate district of Manila in 1921.

During the 1980s, then President of De La Salle University, the late Brother Andrew Gonzalez FSC, Ph.D. introduced the idea of a multiversity because of the growing number of Lasallian institutions nationwide.

A year later, the newly established De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in Malate, Manila was included in the system.

In 2006, the 8-Campus De La Salle University System was abolished and in its place the 17-Campus De La Salle Philippines, Inc. was established in order to have a more focused and unified implementation of the Lasallian Mission, generate greater and more creative synergy among Lasallian educational institutions, improve the overall quality of Lasallian education in the country and promote the spirit of “One La Salle” with a common vision of educating the Filipino youth.

The network administration is composed of a National Mission Council (NMC) which includes eight De La Salle Brothers including the Brother Visitor and seven Lasallian Partners elected by corporate members; DLSP Corporate Members which includes all incumbent trustees of the La Salle educational institutions as well as the Lasallian Educational Corporations; and the DLSP President which acts as the Chief Mission Officer and Chief Executive Officer of the National Mission Council.
