In a thrilling Interscholastic Athletic Association (ISAA) basketball match in the St. Marie Eugenie Sports Complex, host school Assumption Antipolo (AA) was narrowly defeated by Assumption College San Lorenzo (AC) with a score of 44-49 in front of a passionate home crowd on December 5, 2024. The match between the sister schools drew in a large crowd of students, parents, and even teachers who wished to support their representing players.

The match began with AC taking an early lead. Their tight defense, most especially on AA player, Kal-el Nuguid, and offensive plays allowed them to finish the quarter with a commanding 02-11 advantage. AA struggled to find their rhythm early on. However, the second quarter marked a turning point for AA. After a few timeouts, they managed to regain their composure and started scoring against AC. Despite not taking the lead by the end of the quarter, their efforts of closing the point gap was evident. During halftime, the players were able to rest and calm down. Their coach, Joshua Agcaoili, gave them a pep talk, helping the players to refocus and calm their nerves.

The third quarter saw became the resurgence of AA. With their calm and gathered minds, the players were able to execute sharp plays and tighten their defense, resulting in them taking the lead for the first time in the match, necessitating with special mention to the back to back three- pointer shots made by player Jayne Dela Cruz. Their defense tightened, forcing turnovers and limiting AC’s scoring opportunities. By the end of the third quarter, AA had taken the lead by 36-30.

As the fourth and final quarter unfolded, both teams faced a battle of endurance and, most especially, mental fortitude toughness. AA started strong, maintaining their momentum from the third quarter, but after a series of fouls and injuries on two key players, the dynamics of the game and team were forced to shift. AC were able to capitalize on these unfortunate setbacks, by making accurate free throws and executing smart plays to close the gap that AA made after the third quarter.

In the final minutes of the fourth quarter, AC managed to pull ahead. Despite the AA players’ efforts to reclaim the lead, they ultimately fell short, losing by a narrow 5 point difference, with the end score being 44-49. The match concluded with a heartwarming display of sportsmanship and sisterhood, as both teams shook hands, including the two injured members on the bench. Following the match, the sister schools celebrated together with a private pizza party, congratulating one another on the hard-fought match, reinforcing the Assumptionista values between the sister schools. Assumption College showed their skills and talents in this match, proving to be a worthy opponent to the Assumption Antipolo players. Despite the loss, the Assumption Antipolo players showed their remarkable passion and determination, clearly having put their whole heart into every moment of the game.

New Year, New Wardrobe: The Ever-Changing Definition of “Trendy”

It’s out with the old and in with the new for many people this New Year's— everything from study habits and exercise routines to favorite songs and, most importantly, personal style.

You’ve probably already seen all the influencer TikToks welcoming 2025 with a list of ‘ins and outs’, with styles that had previously taken over the Internet during mid-2024 featured on many ‘out’ lists. It truly is a New Year’s reset, but the truth is that the New Year was never necessary to herald a change in what the fashion world thinks is ‘in”.

The Oxford dictionary generally defines a trend as the “direction in which something is developing or changing”. In the context of fashion, however, it refers to a particular item or style rising swiftly and explosively in popularity, and in the fast-paced echo chamber of social media, these micro-trends are hard to avoid.

There are countless external factors that can influence trends, such as pop culture and media, influencers and celebrities, fashion shows and collections (especially those by large and well-known fashion houses, such as Dior and Chanel), climate and season, and even the beliefs, politics and economic status of certain demographics. Some trends might last longer than others, from weeks to months or even a few years, but the nature of a trend is that it’s temporary, and after hitting a peak, it will begin to decrease in popularity until it’s just another outdated fad. However, as Lauren Wright notes in an article for Start Magazine, fashion is cyclical and constantly evolving, and just because something is considered outdated at the moment does not mean that it will never return to the mainstream. For example, modern fashion and pop culture have been adopting more and more elements from 90's and Y2K styles since 2020. Baby tees, baguette bags and velour tracksuits have made a return to many closets with slight, modern tweaks, perhaps in an attempt to invoke a sense of nostalgia and fun amidst a new and scary post-pandemic world.

A trend or microtrend's fifteen minutes in fame usually follows a predictable cycle. It is first introduced into the mainstream, usually by prominent fashion names during the on-season of Fashion Month. Even the biggest trends start small, which means that you're rarely going to see your local fast fashion chain instantly stock their shelves with the latest interesting things. Trends themselves can be hard to predict, and they often only gain market traction once producers are already assured of a consumer base. As with many things, however, social media has made fashion within reach of our very fingertips and as a result, a trend's visibility can skyrocket almost overnight the moment it hits a certain audience.

From there, the trend is on the up and up. It begins to enter the radars of influencers and celebrities, and if it's embraced, it's exposed to a far wider, global audience and gains an even bigger following. Y2K influences flavor the work and fashions of English singer PinkPantheress, top K-pop group NewJeans and rapper Ice Spice, all of whom debuted within a 2020-2021 time frame. Taking inspiration from the timely trend, they ultimately helped to further its reaches and establish the Y2K renaissance as one of the biggest style trends in recent times.

Once its influence has expanded far enough, a trend hits its peak. At this stage, it’s typically widespread enough for it to now be accessible to the ordinary consumer, available in most retail stores but no longer the luxury brands that often began the craze in the first place. It’s never certain how long a trend will peak, but what is certain is what follows: a decline in the trend’s popularity, whether slow or near-instant, eventually removing it from the mainstream. Here we can call to mind various trends from the 2010s, such as the mustache trend and the many Disney Channel-esque variations of a skirt-leggings-vest combination, that modern fashion condemns as “dated” and “obsolete”.

In the end, trends, social media, and the world of fashion are all constantly in motion. It would be unrealistic to expect the average person to be constantly in-season, without the stylists and team required to keep a celebrity always on top of things. So here’s one piece of fashion advice: be your own trendsetter, because self-expression is the only thing that never goes out of style.

A Legacy of Hope: Rizal’s Call to the Youth

“Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” ("The youth is the hope of our future").

Today, December 30, we commemorate the 128th death anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, a hero whose life and works remain a beacon of hope and freedom for our nation. It is through his writings and commitment to justice that ignited the movement of awakening the Filipino spirit and united our ancestors in the fight for independence.

Through his novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Rizal bared the harsh realities of Spanish colonial rule and inspired a national consciousness in the face of oppression. The pen was his weapon and his words carried strength beyond what any sword or gun could wield. It took much courage to speak truth, turning Rizal into a symbol of reform, defender of human rights, and a visionary for a liberated Philippines.
Beyond the pages of history, Rizal’s ideals inspire us to value education, stand up for justice, and pursue unity. His legacy reminds us that true change begins with a love for knowledge and a deep sense of patriotism.

As we honor Rizal today, let us not only be reminded of his sacrifices but let his mission be our own, especially for the youth, to work for the free and just society he envisioned. So onward, we move with hope, carrying his torch for what he believed in a future of courage, knowledge, and unwavering love for our country.

On This Christmas Day: A Night to Love and Believe

Tonight, we gather in the warmth of Christmas Day, a time cherished by families and communities across the world.

December 24 & 25 marks not just a date on the calendar, but a profound reminder of hope, joy, and unity. Unlike other holidays steeped in historical commemoration, Christmas transcends generations as a celebration of faith, love, and the power of togetherness. It is the night before the birth of Christ, symbolizing a promise of light amidst darkness, a beacon of salvation and renewal. Christmas holds a unique place in the hearts of many, as it bridges the anticipation of Christmas Day with intimate traditions that bring people closer. It’s the time of the last Simbang Gabi, Noche Buena feasts, and the joyful exchange of stories and laughter with loved ones. This evening reminds us of the beauty of simple moments; lighting candles, sharing a meal, or even hearing a heartfelt prayer for peace and happiness.

But beyond the festivities, Christmas urges us to reflect on its deeper meaning. Just as the shepherds and wise men journeyed to witness the humble birth in Bethlehem, we, too, are called to seek goodness and hope amid life’s uncertainties. It’s a time to remember that true joy comes not from material gifts but from giving and receiving love, forgiveness, and kindness. Let this Christmas inspire us to rekindle the values it embodies; gratitude for blessings, compassion for others, and faith in the promise of brighter days. As the clock strikes midnight and the celebration begins, may we carry this spirit beyond the holiday season, making every day an opportunity to share light and love.

Merry Christmas, Assumptionistas! May the holiday season fill your hearts with peace, joy, and boundless hope for the year to come.

Beyond the Katipunan: Honoring and Unearthing Bonifacio’s Legacy

Today, we commemorate the 161st anniversary of the valiant Supremo of the Katipunan --- Andres Bonifacio.

Every November 30, we honor him as a national hero and the “Father of the Philippine Revolution”. And unlike Jose Rizal, who’s death is commemorated on Rizal Day, Bonifacio is celebrated on his birthday --- as an acknowledgement of the life he had dedicated to freedom and independence.

Bonifacio represents the Filipinos who fought to break free from the barriers that withheld them their independence in their own homeland. His unwavering determination ignited a flame of freedom which now continues to burn brightly to this day in the hearts of every Filipino. He founded the Kataastaasan Kagalang-galang na Katipunan (nang nga Anak ng Bayan) (K*K), known simply as the Katipunan, a secret independent revolutionary group which sought to end the Spanish colonial rule through armed resistance. In a country plagued with numerous issues, Bonifacio reminds us of the principles and mindset which drove him to fight for our nation and countrymen. He instills in us the sense of independence and importance of liberation for the good of our country.

Beyond being the “father of the Philippine Revolution, Bonifacio served his role as an artist on the side, providing not only service but also crafting theatre props, banners which became symbols of the revolution, symbols of resistance— fostering and inspiring courage to his fellow revolutionaries. His passion for art then extended to the written word, with one of his famous works named “Pag-big sa Tinubuang Lupa” (Love of the Motherland) serving as a heartfelt call to continue serving and loving our nation with passion, as Filipinos. His creative and courageous passion reminds us that revolutions were not only fought with weapons but with powerful ideas and visions as they conquer and fight.

Despite the common argument, Bonifacio did not come from a poor family. Orphaned at the age of 14, he had to drop out of school to provide for him and his siblings. However, he did not live a life in poverty, even prior to his parents’ death. He even had a private tutor from Cebu who helped school him learn arithmetic and Spanish. And despite his parents’ death and discontinuation of his education, Bonifacio never failed to show his passion for learning and continued to keep learning on his own through reading many different books. Proceeding the death of his parents, he worked as a bodeguero, a clerk messenger, and a warehouse supervisor, the salaries of which paid even higher than high school teachers back then.

As students of Assumption Antipolo, his life challenges us to embrace his values of bravery, patriotism, and excellence as we continue to be women of faith and action. His courage inspires us to deal with our own hurdles with determination and never waver in our doubts. As he selflessly served our country, we too are called to lead lives through service, encouraging us to take bold actions, rooted in faith to bring meaningful change to our community. By following his example, we can strive to be compassionate leaders who unite others through faith and action.

Happy Bonifacio Day, Assumptionistas! May the fire of Andres Bonifacio’s patriotism and vision continue to burn brightly within each of us.

The Show Goes On: GIMIK! 2024

On November 9, 2024, Assumption Antipolo’s annual bandscreening event took place, with this year’s theme, "GIMIK!." The event served as a celebration of the art of music, bringing together students, faculty, and guests for a night of performances, creative expression, and a shared love for the craft. The theme "GIMIK!,” derived from the Filipino term for a leisurely night out with friends, perfectly captured the playful and energetic spirit of the occasion, offering a dynamic showcase of diverse musical styles and exceptional talent that left a lasting impression on all attendees.

The stage was set with colorful lights and decorations, transforming the school’s Multi-Purpose Building into an electrifying space where participants and audience members alike could immerse themselves in the rhythm of the night. Bands composed of students from within the school and beyond took the spotlight, each bringing their unique sound and energy to the stage. At its core, the bandscreening serves not only as a celebration of music but also as a means to review and select bands that will perform at Assumption Antipolo’s highly anticipated school fair, which will happen next January. An esteemed panel of judges, including Lexine Mayor (a 2020 Battle of the Bands winner), Bella De Leon (a solo artist and 2023 Rockeoke winner), Emil Vente (a singer at The Voice Academy since 2010), and Princess Canete (a semi-finalist on The Voice Kids Season 5), led the selection process.

After a night of incredible performances that certainly brought the house down, the top 10 bands emerged victorious: Milaya, The Family Pacs, Yambats in Yatyat, Maybe Later, Calico, Basement 82, Orchard Heart, Migraine, Pithaya, and Pink on Wednesdays. Each band earned their spot by delivering exceptional performances that made the night truly unforgettable.

But the bands were not the only winners of the night. The spotlight also shone on the participants of the Dance Cypher, Rap Battle, and Rockeoke segments, each having representatives from Grades 7-12. In the Dance Cypher, Mela Cruzat from Grade 10 and Thea Almazan from Grade 12 emerged as the winners, captivating the audience with their electrifying performances and unparalleled energy. Meanwhile, the Rap Battle was a fierce contest, but it was Athena Apostol from Grade 8 who ultimately claimed victory, impressing everyone with her quick wit and lyrical skill. In the Rockeoke segment, Luna Cruz, also from Grade 8, stole the spotlight with her powerful and compelling performance, leaving a lasting impression on all those watching.
“GIMIK!” not only treated attendees to a lineup of electrifying performances but also gave them the opportunity to support a good cause through the "BazAAr for a Cause." The bazaar featured a wide range of products, from commemorative Golden Jubilee shirts to delicious concessionaires, allowing guests to take home something special while contributing to the event's charitable efforts.

The event proved to be a night to remember, blending incredible talent, high-energy performances, and a sense of community spirit. Ultimately, “GIMIK!” was not just a celebration of music and talent but a testament to the creativity, passion, and unity that thrives within the Assumption Antipolo community. As the night came to a close, it was clear that this year’s Band Screening had once again set a high bar for what promises to be an eagerly anticipated annual tradition for all who participated and attended.

Unveiling a Path to Life’s Purpose: The Grade 11 Liturgy of Clothing Ceremony

Along the paths of Assumption Antipolo’s 50th year of transformative education that shapes one’s path to faithfulness, God’s welcoming embrace entails to us the value of accepting holiness in one’s life through the Grade 11 students’ Liturgy of Clothing Ceremony.

The annual Liturgy of Clothing Ceremony of the senior high school students took place at the Multi-Purpose Building last November 4, 2024. Through this sacred custom of imparted graces, a bridging of a new chapter awaits in God’s glory as Grade 12 students pass on the blessings, values, and responsibilities they’ve previously achieved by putting the collar onto Grade 11 students. As these students partake in the path towards self-discovery and a sense of purpose, the white veil symbolizes the emergence of collective growth within a community. The students are reminded that no matter the circumstance, God’s guidance eclipses the hardships, uncertainties, and challenges they face everyday through this sacred ceremony. This event of cultivating Christ-centeredness across the senior high school body encompasses one of Assumption Antipolo’s prominent mottos, “All for Jesus!” as students were shaped with God’s unwavering direction to a better life.

As the bestowal of blessings took place, Grade 11 students were called to maintain a sense of belonging to God’s mission, and that is to embrace holiness at all times. In her welcoming speech, the community superior Sr. Clare Cecilia Salvani expresses the aspiration to continuously live out life’s purpose in Jesus’ name; a reminder to appreciate His heavenly creations with a heart full of gratitude, to see the goodness in the simplest daily habits, and attain an ideal world through our acts of loving service. “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” In connection with the said ceremony, these remnants of God’s love mark the newly endowed students to hold out these key aspects.

During the ceremony, Grade 12 students paired with their corresponding Grade 11 partners were given the opportunity to pass on the traditional “wearing of veil”. This was demonstrated by Gabrielle Ecijan and Jazmine Quizon, the Grade 11 and 12 Batch Representatives, followed by the rest of the senior high school students. Afterwards, the members of the Komusikasyon Club sang the hymn “Just Like Thee” in unison with the student body as a thanksgiving prayer to God’s steadfast presence at all times.

The series of devoted worship was concluded with a Eucharistic mass presided by Rev. Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, alongside the members of YMAA, with his enlightening reflection emphasizing the importance of “embracing holiness” in life.

The Lord’s calling for a notion to perform positive actions, intentions, and choices serve as a testament to our life’s mission during Assumption Antipolo’s Golden Jubilee. This landmark of faith and devotion entails a renewal of spirits to nurture God’s grace, aligning with the school trust, values, and ambitions. Drawing closer to His presence reaffirms the vocation we are yet to convey to the community as students embark on a new journey on this very day. Boulders of fear, hesitation, and difficulties may weigh us down, but anchoring our faith to the Most High consecrates a life filled with astounding circumstances that were once left unnoticed. Resolute and faith-strengthening traditions in the school, such as the Clothing Ceremony, prepare students to encounter aisles of self-discovery, loving actions, and care for society. To quote Saint Marie Eugenie of Jesus, “Be the cotton between sheets of glass to keep others from shattering”.

Our Olympic Village of Care: Formators' Week 2024

The much-anticipated Formators’ Week, held from September 30 to October 4, 2024, offered a platform for Assumption Antipolo to come together as a unified ‘Olympic Village,’ where the spirit of care, mentorship, and camaraderie flourished across the school community. Throughout the week, this year’s theme of “ Olympic Village of Care” was emphasized. Shared commitment to guiding one another and fostering relationships was at the heart of every activity, mirroring the vibrant energy and teamwork found in an Olympic village. Each day was filled with engaging activities that honored the dedicated teachers and staff, while fostering strong connections between the students and their formators. This year, as the school proudly commemorates its Golden Jubilee, the festivities hold an even deeper significance, emphasizing the invaluable guidance formators provide. Together as one Assumption Community, formators and students embraced the spirit of teamwork and gratitude, making this week a true celebration of those who inspire us to reach our full potential, bringing out the best version of everyone.

The Formators' Week festivities kicked off with Mentorship Monday on September 30 at the Sports Complex, where a lively celebration featured electrifying performances from the Hype Kids, Komusikasyon Club, AADC, and Pamulatan Club. Alongside such wonderful displays, the school atmosphere buzzed with excitement as students delivered delightful surprises for their teacher counterparts by delivering packages containing teaching essentials like pens and sticky notes, giving our formators a positive way to kick-start their week.

The following day, Together Tuesday, focused on connection and shared experiences, with students enjoying shared meals with their mentors. On the same day, an informal photobooth was set up in front of the IT department in the V-Building, capturing fun moments and further solidifying bonds through laughter and camaraderie.

On Wholesome Wednesday, the theme delved deeper into appreciation, as students wrote heartfelt letters to their teacher counterparts. These letters aimed to uplift and inspire their formators, just as they did for them. These letters served as reminders of the impact that teachers have on their students' lives, giving the teachers an embrace of gratitude.
The celebration continued with Thriving Thursday, dedicated to self-care. Students delivered special care packages filled with scented candles, Katinko inhalers, and face towels, acknowledging their teachers’ hard work and reminding them that there’s always time to take care of their wellbeing, no matter how busy they may be.

And of course, the grand culmination of Formators' Week arrived with Finale Friday, where the excitement peaked in true Olympic fashion. The morning began with a Mass in the Multi-Purpose Building, as well as a pet blessing and parade to celebrate the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. Student-counterparts dressed in matching smart casual attire to embody their teacher counterparts. Students assisted their teachers with classroom activities before heading to the sports field, where teachers showcased their inner athlete in activities ranging from basketball to swimming, dodgeball to chess. As the day unfolded, students enthusiastically cheered on their mentors, celebrating the passion and heart that teachers bring into the classroom. Reflecting on the day's events, students recognized the meaningful connections formed throughout the week as it created lasting memories that will continue to inspire the school community during Assumption Antipolo’s Golden Jubilee.

But the fun was yet to be over! The Monday after, an award ceremony was held for all the winners of the Sports Fest, highlighting each of the formators’ spirit of camaraderie through team games and their achievements earned independently, giving them the recognition they so rightfully deserve. Presented enthusiastically by two of the members of the Student Council of Assumption Antipolo; Layana Leung, the SCAA’s Secretary and Kelly Palisoc, the SCAA’s Assistant Secretary, the ceremony served as a perfect closure to a wonderful celebration.

As we look back on Formators' Week, we recognize the spirit of gratitude and camaraderie that resembles an Olympic Village, where support and teamwork are paramount. Each activity, heartfelt note, and shared meal strengthened our bonds, creating an atmosphere for growth. We are immensely thankful for our formators, whose unwavering dedication inspires us to reach for our own gold medals in life. Let us carry forward this spirit of care and appreciation, celebrating our mentors every day for their invaluable impact on our journey.

Nurturing Community and Sustainability: Highlights of The Assumption Antipolo Eco Fair 2024

Imagine this: upon entering the Multi-Purpose building, you are immediately greeted with colorful booths, the smell of food wafting in the air, along with teachers, students, and even parents eagerly surrounding the place.

This year, Assumption Antipolo hosted its annual Ecological Fair from September 25 - October 2. It showcased the school’s dedication to supporting the beneficiaries, ensuring that we assist in minimizing the financial barrier which hinders development within the community. This year, the Eco Fair focused on supporting the animals at the Pacem Eco Park. An exciting addition was also added; right in front of the entrance was a stall pioneered by one of Assumption Antipolo’s students, Kinjo Hannah D. Acallar. She is currently one of the ambassadors of the organization Manta Trust, a program which allows teenagers from ages 13-18 become Ocean Ambassadors and gain the opportunity to explore marine life. Her stall, by the name of “Slam Dunk The Junk”, allowed students to participate in a short yet fun game of shooting any recyclable item through a manta ray-like basketball hoop. They would be rewarded with a sticker that allows them to vote among the list of manta rays— the winner will be adopted by the school!

The products offered ranged from cute stuffed toys appealing to kids, to various food options that surely stimulated the taste buds. On top of that, the Dumagats were invited to share root crops this year. They come from the Agta-Dumagat-Remontados tribe, who have been known to practice agriculture for generations. Their contribution brought more people to participate in the spirit of joy and unification.

The money raised benefits not only the animals in the Pacem Eco Park, but also those who purchased from the fair, allowing them to become informed citizens by educating attendees about sustainability which empowers them to become responsible individuals whether they are students, teachers, or people who came to visit from outside. Apart from currency, the Assumption Antipolo Eco Fair fosters connections and a sense of community. The vibrant atmosphere and shared memories truly make all the difference. Assumption Antipolo hopes to see you next year to relive the fun and furthermore advocate for sustainability!

Equally impressive was the team's defensive effort, hustling across the court to block shots and keep rallies alive. This strong opening performance sets a promising tone for Amazons’ journey in the WNCAA, as they aim to build on their momentum in future matches.

“WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU” 🥁🤾‍♀️📣 This has been the motto of our student AAthletes during the 2023 Intramurals. After 2 years of being limited to participating in online events, we’re certain that everyone missed playing their sports events on the school grounds. Am I right, or am I right? 🤩🤪 It’s been 2 weeks since we had our onsite Intramurals and to commemorate the event, here’s a glimpse of our student-athletes during the Intramurals and their thoughts during their games. ⛹️‍♀️🏊‍♀️ Congratulations and well done to everyone who participated in the online and onsite events. 🏆 Great job for showing camaraderie and sportsmanship and we hope to see you at the next one! 🎉 Video by: Ryan Santos and Violet Banta Caption by: Aina Relativo and Ella Rañeses

FormAAtors' Week 2022-2023

Sino ang tanging dahilan sa paggising mo araw-araw? 🤩🌤️ Pinipili namin ang aming mga mahiwagang guro 💗 Heto na, katapusan na ng FormAAtors’ Week 2022! 🎉 Halina’t GUNITAin ang hindi malilimutang linggong ito at alalahanin natin ang mga nakaraang araw 🗓️ Unang-una ay ang LIWANAG LUNES, 🌻 kung saan nanalo ang ating mga guro ng mga malikhain na parangal 🎖️ mula sa mga mag-aaral. Kasunod nito ang MUNI MARTES 🌈, ang araw na pinaalalahanan ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang mga guro na magpahinga 🧘‍♀️. Noong MAALALA MIYERKULES 💌 naman ay nakatanggap ang mga guro ng taos-pusong liham 📝 ng pasasalamat. Sa susunod na araw, gumawa ang mga mag-aaral ng isang OPM playlist 💿 para sa mga guro noong HIMIG HUWEBES 🎶. At sa wakas, naging isang bayani mula sa mitolohiyang Pilipino ang mga guro noong BAYANI BIYERNES 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️. Nais namin pasalamatan ang mga mag-aaral na mas lalong pinaramdam sa kanilang mga guro na sila ay mahalaga at espesyal 💖 🍾. Salamat sa SCAA na naghanda at nangasiwa sa daloy ng linggong ito, at salamat din sa aming mga formator na lubos naming minamahal. 🙇‍♀️💝 Video by: Ryan Santos, Alex Abrea and Violet Banta Caption by: Sophia Serranilla and Abrianna Vicente
