Founded in 1989, the Salesian educational institution started its humble operations. Don Bosco Technical College (DBTC) in Mandaluyong is a pioneer of Salesian Schools in Metro Manila. It belongs to the priests or Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB). DBTC gradually phased out their pre-school and primary levels. DBTC also temporarily transferred some of their primary level faculty to Don Bosco School Manila. The administration and policies applied to this agreement followed the DBTC Manual for students, faculty and staff. The Salesian Sisters Administration of DBS Manila and the Salesian Fathers Administration of DBTC Mandaluyong worked in close supervision and collaboration until April 1993 when the last group of transferees had finished their Grade 4 and enrolled back at DBTC to finish their Intermediate and High school. Faculty members who were temporarily transferred to DBS Manila were offered a choice as to their preferred employer.
