PAREF Springdale School, in cooperation with the Cebu City Government and Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, hosted a coastal clean-up drive for this year’s Project SHARE 2026. The activity, which served as the Student Seminar for Grades 10 and 11, was held in Brgy. Mambaling, Cebu City on March 19, 2026.

Project SHARE, which stands for Springdale’s Humanitarian And Relief Efforts, aimed to help the Badjao community located behind the South Road Properties (SRP) Welcome Hill Tower. In addition to the coastal clean-up drive, students also distributed hygiene kits to children in the community.

Prior to the project, students attended a short seminar with Dr. Ian Tabañag, District Staff for Marine Environmental Protection AUX LCDR, where they were introduced to their tasks and the purpose of the initiative. Students also helped pack the hygiene kits shortly after the seminar.

On the day of the relief effort, the students and beneficiary community were paid a surprise visit by Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival while hygiene kits were being distributed. During his visit, Mayor Archival engaged with students and teachers while going around the site, expressing his appreciation to the school community.

“As a school, we are trying to align with the government’s thrust on solid waste management. We also added the distribution of hygiene kits as a way for students to practice the virtue of charity during this time of Lent”, said Mr. Gilfred Rosal, Guidance Counselor of PAREF Springdale, after the activity.

Originally planned as a two-week activity for the Grade 10 batch, Project SHARE was adjusted due to last year’s calamities, resulting in a one-day collaborative effort between Grades 10 and 11.

Nonetheless, the activity still offered many memorable experiences and moments. From cleaning the coast to distributing hygiene kits to meeting the mayor, students were able to serve the community and help make Cebu a better place to live.

PAREF Springdale School marked Father’s Day 2026 with a day focused on faith, family, and competition. Team Anchor and Team Vinta faced off once again, drawing strong participation from students, parents, and teachers.

The day began with Early Bird Registration from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Families arrived in white and blue and earned points for their teams. At 11:00 AM, the community attended a Thanksgiving Mass led by Fr. Manuel “Nonong” Belarmino Jr., who spoke about the role of fathers in guiding families.

Performances followed, led by the Grade 5 band “The Mighty Kids” and the Springdale Dads. The Opening Program featured the Parade of Colors, remarks by Mr. Ric R. Ampiloquio, the Lighting of the Torch by team captains, and the Oath of Sportsmanship.

In the afternoon, bands from Grades 8 to 10 performed, while families joined games that tested teamwork through relays, trivia, and tug-of-war.

Anchor led the major sports events. They won the Father’s Basketball Game, 67 to 48, and the Alumni Game, 73 to 49. They also secured a 1- 0 win in football. Despite this, the overall standings stayed close due to earlier events such as Larong Pinoy, SportsFest, and the Pre Father’s Day Games.

The program ended with dance presentations from Grades 1 to 9, each representing different countries, followed by the Community Song, “Wavin’ Flag.”

In the final tally, Team Vinta claimed the overall title through steady performance across events. The celebration showed strong participation and a united Springdale community.

More than just a competition, Father’s Day 2026 cemented the spirit of Springdale’s mission to strengthen family life and honor fathers as primary educators in our lives.

As the program came to an end, one message stood out: beyond the results, the day's true victory was the unity of the Springdale community.

Even a week after Father’s Day 2026 drew to a close, the spirit of gratitude and celebration fills the air. Yet, there were a few surprises left for those who worked behind the scenes, as the fruits of their labor.

The SBO was the first to take the stage, overlooking the quadrangle that they brought to life through the Quad Re-Vibe. Their president, Matthew Chavez, thanked all the sponsors and benefactors present for their donations. With the completion of Phase 1, the SBO introduced Phase 2, where everyone is free to donate towards planters that will liven up the space for future generations.

The Grade 3 Parent Coordinators (PCs) and the teachers of Springdale followed the student council, and were recognized for their invaluable contributions to the success of the event. Their dedication ensured that every part of the celebration ran without a hitch, creating a wondrous centerpiece for the school’s 30th anniversary.

From planning to ex*****on, they collaborated together to organize the program, guiding students in preparing heartfelt dances that honored fathers on a global scale. They also handled sponsorships and resource management, ensuring sufficient support and materials for the event. Their coordination covered every detail, from logistics to parking, resulting in a memorable experience for both students and parents.

The recognition and applause given to these people during the celebration was a well-deserved tribute to their commitment and hard work. More than just organizers, these men and women became the backbone of the school through their actions. They embodied the spirit of community, which will continue for decades to come.

The games for the day were Football, Basketball, and Chess, played across all grade levels as Anchor and Vinta battled on multiple fronts.

The two houses once again competed fiercely against each other, hoping to secure a major victory before the upcoming Father's Day 2026 celebration.

When asked what he expected from Anchor for Father’s Day and the Pre-Father’s Day Games, the team captain of Anchor, Caleb Gilos, had this to say: “For me, I expect everybody to have fun. The main goal, really, is character building—winning is the secondary option.”

Asked the same question about Vinta, the team captain of Vinta, Jacob Go, responded simply: “I expect our team to do well and to win.”

The students’ performances in the different sporting events earned points for their respective houses, tightening the overall score between the two.

Anchor Dads pulled away in the second half to secure a 67–48 win over Vinta Dads in their Father's Day basketball match today at the school gymnasium.

The game kicked off with an extremely close first quarter, with both teams tied at 12 points by the end of the period.

The second quarter kept the same close and competitive energy. The teams traded blows back to back, with no clear victor in sight. Several offensive and defensive plays were made by both teams as they continued to battle for control.

However, the third quarter was a very different story. The Vinta team was visibly exhausted from keeping up with the Anchor players.

Anchor quickly took the lead by scoring 15 consecutive points led by Mr. Jax Bautista, while Vinta struggled to respond.

In the fourth quarter, Vinta began to make a small recovery, closing the gap to only nine points. However, it was already too little too late.

Anchor ultimately won the game 67–48, delivering a decisive victory over Vinta following their earlier loss in the Alumni game.

After the tides of blue and white receded from the stage, the people rose from their seats and pledged allegiance to the country through the national anthem. Afterward, the Boy’s Choir led the crowd in prayer, beginning the program with the Our Father and uniting everyone in piety.

Mr. Ric Ampiloquio, OIC Associate Director for Personal Formation, took to the stage and delivered a powerful message about sportsmanship and unity, along with the importance of fathers in our lives. In its own way, the school is a father to all the students, teachers, and staff within its halls, one with a fire within its heart to make good men.

That fire began with Erni Torres, who carried the torch with confidence and purpose for Team Anchor. From there, the flame was passed to Mayer Ursal, representing Team Vinta. The team captains followed suit, as Caleb Gilos, captain of Anchor, stepped forward to receive the torch. Carrying it with hope, he represented the tenacity of his team, despite their losses in recent years. Finally, the torch reached Jacob Go, captain of the Vinta team. As the last one in the chain, he carried the responsibility of completing the ceremony in the name of previous victories.

As the final torch blazed to life, it burned with a fervor that matched the hearts of both teams. It served as more than just a ceremonial act between captains of blue and white. As they joined Mr. Ampiloquio on the stage, these people represented the legacy of the last three decades, the passing of knowledge from each generation, and highlighted the collective spirit that brings everyone together.
