Once he was a Catechist.
Another, a Principal.
One more, a seminarian in the next compound over.

They came, they taught, they served.
Then the seasons turned.
Now, some have returned.

Fr. Bobby. Fr. Joey.
Old roles, new missions.
Familiar footsteps on familiar ground.
But with deeper weight.
And more to carry.

Don Bosco Academy Bacolor steps into another chapter.
And with it comes a quiet kind of power—
the kind that remembers where it came from,
the kind that still knows the way forward.

Fr. Bobby is now School Rector.
Fr. Joey returns as Spiritual Moderator.
Joining them is Fr. John Joseph Aguila—
a new presence, a steady hand—
now Director and Economer.

But every welcome holds a parting.

Bro. Carmelo Martinez—Bro. Melo—
takes on a new assignment.
His time at DBA Bacolor left its mark.
Through programs, projects, and leadership,
he helped shape the school’s direction.
For a time, he quietly ran the school
while there was no Rector and Economer.
He built. He led. He inspired.
He leaves behind a legacy of growth.

And through every shift, every season,
one truth remains:
Luctor Et Emergo.
I struggle, I win.

That’s the heartbeat of Don Bosco Bacolor.
That’s the spirit they live.
That’s the story still unfolding.

ICYMI (IN CASE YOU MISSED IT): Last March 2025, as Pope Francis remains hospitalized with double pneumonia, a 900-year-old prophecy by Saint Malachy predicting the end of the papacy after the current pope has resurfaced. This has sparked discussions about the future of the Church.

OCTOBER 1, 1995 ∙ SAN GUILLERMO PARISH CHURCH, BACOLOR, PAMPANGA ∙ Lahar flow from the slopes of Mount Pinatubo, buried the church to half its 12-metre (39 ft) height, prompting more than 50,000 town residents to evacuate to safer grounds in resettlement areas. 📷September 1995 ∙ Yann Arthus-Bertrand

After the volcanic eruption, the town's people painstakingly excavated the altar and the retablo and relocated it under the dome in order for the tall wooden retablo to fit. The retablos niches are filled with centuries old statues which were saved from destruction of the lahar. The citizens of Bacolor carefully excavated the ornately carved main and side altars and restored in its immaculate condition.

By 1995, Bacolor, Pampanga had reclaimed its previous status as elevated land.

DBJ aspirants were just playing Independence Day Games at the football field on that cool Wednesday morning, and then, this pillar of smoke rose through the blue skies…

JUNE 12, 1991 ∙ REAWAKENED AFTER MORE THAN 500 YEARS OF SLUMBER ∙ The volcano's first spectacular eruption sent an ash column 19 km (12 mi) into the through the morning blue skies of the 1991 PH Independence Day.

Mount Pinatubo in the island of Luzon in the Philippines showed signs of imminent eruption early April 1991.

On 12 June 1991 (Philippine Independence Day), its intermittent eruptions began.

Three days after, on 15 June 1991, its most powerful eruption happened. Mount Pinatubo ejected massive volcanic materials of more than one cubic mile and created an enormous cloud of volcanic ash that rose as high as 22 miles into the air and grew to more than 300 miles across, turning day into night over Central Luzon.
