What a truly special day it was as the new students of Saint Francis of Assisi College gathered together for an annual Holy Mass, marking the official opening of the school year. The mass was held on June 27, 2025 at the Gymnasium of the SFAC. It's a yearly Holy Mass where the school gives a warm welcome to the Senior High School students. The venue was filled with an incredible sense of hope,excitement, most importantly the solemnityโ€”as they celebrated this important milestone as one school community.

It was inspiring to see the new Senior High School students, with their bright eyes and eager spirits, joining their fellow students, teachers, and staff in prayer and reflection. This Mass was not just a formality; it was a beautiful opportunity to set the tone for a year filled with learning, growth, and faith. As they embark on this exciting new chapter, we pray for their success, resilience, and happiness. May they always feel the guiding presence of our Almighty God while keeping in mind the CORE Values of SFAC in their academic pursuits and personal journeys. Here's to a blessed and fruitful school year for everyone!

On June 25, 2025, Grade 11 students gathered at the Senior High School Gymnasium, while Grade 12 students participated from their respective classrooms, to attend the annual Drug Awareness Seminar organized by Saint Francis of Assisi College.

The seminar formally opened with an invocation led by Ms. Nehrissa M. Onella, activity coordinator of the Kโ€“10 Department, followed by the presentation of the schoolโ€™s Mission, Vision, and CORE values by Mr. Danilo E. Goma, the schoolโ€™s research coordinator. Mr. Meneleo V. Lopez, the JHS Team Leader, then formally welcomed everyone in attendance. An intermission number came next, performed by Ms. Mae Fernandez, a member of the Performing Arts Club, who sang โ€œTill I Met Youโ€ by Angeline Quinto and โ€œForevermoreโ€ by Side A. Afterwards, Ms. Rhona Mae Sabidra, the HUMSS Coordinator, introduced the resource speaker, PSMS Ivan Francis C. Gaon, and his assistant, Patrolman Evangelino G. Delgado.

Mr. Ivan began by informing the students about what to expect from the seminar, along with its objectives. He then presented a short animated video by Filmbilder & Friends titled โ€œNuggetsโ€, featuring a bird-like creature named Kiwi who tastes a golden nugget. The video served as a metaphor for addiction, with Kiwi symbolizing a curious individual who becomes dependent to a golden nugget which turns out to be harmful and life-destroying. After the watching the video, Mr. Ivan invited the students to share their ideas and reflections on what they had learned from the animation. The seminar also covered various topics related to drugs, including their definition, different types, common reasons why individuals engage in drug use, the consequences of using illegal drugs, types of pressure that can lead to substance abuse, strategies to resist peer pressure, and other related issues. After the discussion, a question and answer session followed, encouraging students to ask questions and clarifications regarding the topic.

To formally conclude the seminar, Mr. Karl Sid Obarra, the ABM Coordinator, shared wise and inspiring words. This was followed by a photo opportunity with the Franciscan community, and finally, the singing of the SFAC Hymn.

Seminars like these play a vital role in raising awareness and guiding students toward making informed, responsible choices that lead to a healthier life. By attending this annual orientation, franciscans strengthened their understanding of illegal drug abuse, gained essential knowledge, and inspiration to become advocates to a better future.

It was a serene Monday when the gymnasium was filled with light chatter and anticipation for knowledge on June 23, 2025 when the spirit of inquiry and the endless pursuit of knowledge was reawakened at the Saint Francis of Assisi College โ€“ Las Piรฑas Campus through the Research Orientation with the theme Discipline and Determination: Catalyst for Personal and Academic Growth; with Mr. Allan Arnold P. Ramos Jr. as the emcee.

The event was opened with an invocation, and the opening remarks by Mr. Danilo E. Goma Jr; this academic yearโ€™s research coordinator. The procession of the program was followed by Mr. Florence Sean Alarcon as he presented the mission, vision, philosophy, CORE values, goals, and objectives set forth by the institution. This was then followed by Ms. Christine A. Ortega who introduced each sectionโ€™s respective research teacher who will help them probe the world of research, ask questions, and perform endless inquiry. She also left the striking message:

โ€œTeachers not only teaches students, but inspires inquiry,โ€ which highlights the essential and fundamental role teachers hold in their studentsโ€™ path towards inquiry. Following this was the presentation of the research manual by Ms. Louisa B. Joson wherein she discussed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that anchors the research produced by these to effectively contribute to the existing body of knowledge. Aside from these, she also discussed the research colloquium, congress, and the misconducts to be avoided when writing their research.

Necessarily, the event went on with tips on how to write a research: qualitative for grade 11 discussed by Ms. Mary Rose Abad and quantitative for grade 12 presented by Mr. Danilo Goma Jr where he discussed the fundamentals of writing a good research through a good concoction of discussion and crowd engagement. He ended the discussion with a quote by American poet and writer, Mark Van Doren: โ€œThe art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.โ€

The event concluded with the acknowledgment by Mr. Danilo Goma Jr. where he expressed his gratitude to the people who made the event possible, the closing remarks led by Ms. Jea Ann Sabilles, the program supervisor for research, and the closing prayer led by Mr. Allan Arnold Ramos Jr. For the final part, the event concluded the Franciscan way; by singing the SFAC Hymn.

To bravely pursue knowledge as if it was air.
To passionately inquire.
To continue to seek answers even in the most complex ideas.
These are just some of the qualities a researcher must possess. Despite the challenging, yet fun and knowledge-filled path research holds ahead of these students, it is essential to ask questions, to seek answers, to endlessly inquire. For it is through numerous โ€œwhyโ€™s,โ€ โ€œhowโ€™s,โ€ and โ€˜โ€™whatโ€™sโ€ why answers are found, and the existing body of knowledge flourishes.

The grand celebration showcased not only the beauty and charisma of its students but also their school pride, creative expression, and strong personalities that left the crowd in awe.

More than just a competition, Mr. & Ms. College 2025 was a vibrant celebration of the Franciscan values that define Saint Francis of Assisi College. Through the theme โ€œElements of Grace: A Journey of Humility and Strength,โ€ the event reminded everyone that pageantry is not merely about outer beauty, it is a platform for young individuals to showcase their character, determination, and the stories that shape who they are. Each candidate brought something unique to the stage: a message of perseverance, a voice of confidence, a spirit of service, or an inspiring journey of transformation. The applause and admiration they received were not just for their performance that afternoon, but for the dedication, humility, and strength they displayed throughout their entire journey.

The students of Saint Francis of Assisi College didnโ€™t just walk the runwayโ€” they walked a path that celebrated community, identity, and the courage to lead with both heart and humility. As the spotlight dimmed and the final bows were taken, what lingered most was not the glimmer of crowns, but the inspiring reminder that greatness is achieved when we rise not only with confidence, but also with compassion.

On a dazzling afternoon filled with elegance, confidence, and talent, Saint Francis of Assisi College held its much-anticipated Mr. & Ms. College 2025 pageant at the Robinsons Las Piรฑas Palace on June 03, 2025, at 1 PM. The grand celebration showcased not only the beauty and charisma of its students but also their school pride, creative expression, and strong personalities that left the crowd in awe.

This yearโ€™s event carried the inspiring theme, โ€œElements of Grace: A Journey of Humility and Strength,โ€ a perfect reflection of the candidatesโ€™ ability to embody poise, integrity, and resilience both on and off the stage. From the symbolic wear to the talent showcase, the contestants expressed their own interpretations of grace under pressure and the silent power of humility.

Emerging victorious and taking home the coveted titles were Sebastien Noel Mallorca from the School of Tourism and Management (STM) as Mr. College 2025 and Justin Mae M. Garcia from the School of Nursing (SON) as Ms. College 2025. Their grace, intelligence, and commanding presence onstage captivated both the judges and the audience.

More than just a competition, Mr. & Ms. College 2025 was a vibrant celebration of the Franciscan values that define Saint Francis of Assisi College. Through the theme โ€œElements of Grace: A Journey of Humility and Strength,โ€ the event reminded everyone that pageantry is not merely about outer beauty, it is a platform for young individuals to showcase their character, determination, and the stories that shape who they are. Each candidate brought something unique to the stage: a message of perseverance, a voice of confidence, a spirit of service, or an inspiring journey of transformation. The applause and admiration they received were not just for their performance that afternoon, but for the dedication, humility, and strength they displayed throughout their entire journey.

The students of Saint Francis of Assisi College didnโ€™t just walk the runwayโ€” they walked a path that celebrated community, identity, and the courage to lead with both heart and humility. As the spotlight dimmed and the final bows were taken, what lingered most was not the glimmer of crowns, but the inspiring reminder that greatness is achieved when we rise not only with confidence, but also with compassion.

โ€œAny man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad,โ€ is a quote by Australian photographerโ€“ Anne Geddes which highlights the crucial role fatherhood holdsโ€“ and how much more essential character is in being a father. Fatherhood in definition, simply refers to the state of being a father- however, there is more to it than that.

More than simply a title, being a father does not simply only entail being a man who contributed in the formation of the child but also applies to those who stepped up.

To fathers doing their best to provide for their families,
To fathers navigating life on their own,
To fathers working away from their family,
To those who stepped up and took the role of being a father,
To mothers who also took the role of being the fathers;

Your efforts are seen. You are loved. You are celebrated. To act, and be the resilient and strong pillar of the home is no easy feat- nor it is a simple task to be taken lightly. Because in order to keep the foundation of the home intact, you had to toughen up; amidst gritted teeth and endure the weight you had to bear to be a father.

The annual celebration of Fatherโ€™s Day serves as a constant reminder that you are seen. You are loved. You are celebrated. For this, we uphold youโ€“ Happy Fatherโ€™s Day!

Ngayong ika-12 ng Hunyo, buong puso nating mga Pilipino ipinagdiriwang ang Araw ng Kalayaan. Isang paalala ng kalayaang pinaglaban ng ating mga ninuno at bayani mula sa kolonyal na pamumuno. Ito ay araw ng pagpupugay sa katapangan ng mga bayaning lumaban sa pang-aapi at nangarap ng mas mabuting kinabukasan para sa malayang Pilipinas. Ngunit higit pa sa paggunita, ang Araw ng Kalayaan ay dapat ding magsilbing simbolo sa bawat henerasyon, ang ipagpatuloy ang pakikibaka para sa tunay na kalayaan hindi lamang mula sa mga dayuhang mananakop, kundi mula sa mga gapos ng di-makatarungang sistema at tiwaling pamumuno.

Sa panahon ngayon, marami pa ring Pilipino ang nananatiling nakabilanggo at nakakaranas ng diskriminasyon, kahirapan, at kawalan ng pag-asa dahil sa mga modernong anyo ng pang-aapi na nagbabanta sa ating demokrasya. Ang mga tiwaling politiko, na inuuna ang pansariling kapakinabangan kaysa sa paglilingkod sa bayan, ay nagtataksil sa mismong mga ideyal na ipinaglaban mismo ng ating mga bayani. Ninanakaw nila sa mga tao hindi lamang ang pera kundi pati na rin ang dignidad, pagkakataon, at tiwala sa pamahalaan. Hangga't ang mga ganitong uri ng pinuno ay nasa kapangyarihan, mananatiling hindi tuluyang malaya ang Pilipinas.

Ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan bigyan natin ng dangal ang Pilipinas sa makabuluhang paraan, tayo ay tumindig laban sa mga kawalang katarungang ito. Kung paanong ipinaglaban ng ating mga ninuno at bayani ang kalayaan ng Pilipinas, dapat nating ipaglaban ang tapat na gobyerno, pagkapantay-pantay, at hustisya.

Ang ika-12 ng Hunyo ay hindi lamang dapat tungkol sa paglingon sa kung ano ang nakaraan, ito ay dapat nating gawing hakbang tungkol sa pagsulong. Ang tunay na kalayaan ay hindi lamang ang kawalan ng mga dayuhang mananakop, ito ay ang pagkakaroon ng katarungan, integridad, at pag-asa para sa bawat Pilipino. Habang itinataas natin ang ating mga watawat at inaawit ang ating mga himno, tumindig din tayo sa pagkakaisa upang bumuo ng isang bansang hindi lamang malaya, kundi makatarungan. Tanging sa ganoon lamang natin masasabi na tayo ay tunay na malaya.
