Final Exams Are Waving, Cramming Is Calling!

On January 28, 2026, the entire community of Saint Vincent Academy of Maragusan, Inc. held a Bible Enthronement, marking the meaningful annual observance of Bible Month. Celebrated every January in the Philippines, Bible Month reminds students of the importance of reading, studying, and living out the Holy Scriptures for spiritual growth. It is a time to deepen one’s relationship with God and to allow His Word to guide daily life.

This celebration also recognizes the Bible’s lasting impact on spiritual, moral, and social development. More than a tradition, Bible Month stands as a witness to faith and love for God, encouraging everyone to keep His Word at the center of their lives.

Last January 26–27, 2026, Grade 12 students stepped away from their academic routines to take part in a meaningful spiritual retreat centered on the theme “Called, Loved, and Sent.” Held at Via Veritas et Vita Retreat House in Lanipao, Araibo, Pantukan, Davao de Oro, the retreat became a sacred space for reflection, renewal, and deeper faith as they prepare to enter a new chapter of their lives. Guided by Retreat Master Rev. Fr. Rechie Omas-as, DCT, students reconnected with God, reflected on their purpose, and strengthened their spiritual foundation before graduation.

Fr. Rechie reminded everyone that this year’s retreat theme, “Called, Loved, and Sent,” is not just a theme but it is a way of living. Each student is called by God for a purpose, loved beyond measure, and sent forth to make a difference in the world. More than a pause from schoolwork, the retreat became a journey of the heart nurturing faith, inspiring hope, and preparing them to move forward with courage and mission.

Career Guidance 2026, organized and facilitated by the Peer Facilitators Club last January 23, 2024, carried the inspiring theme “Shaping Future: Exploring Career and Building Dreams.” The event became a meaningful avenue where students expressed their dream professions and gained a deeper understanding of themselves. Through this activity, they recognized their interests, strengths, and goals while developing essential skills needed for a successful future career. It served as a valuable opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth, guiding students as they begin shaping their paths in life.

The event began with lively cheers and yells, as aspiring soldiers, doctors, engineers, and other future professionals proudly represented their chosen fields. This was followed by the Career Walk, where selected students showcased their professions through a catwalk and participated in a question-and-answer segment. Their words inspired fellow students to explore their passions and ambitions. Filled with excitement and joy, the celebration became a memorable experience that encouraged everyone to dream big and pursue their goals with confidence.
