September 7, 2025 โ€” In line with the 88th Parochial Fiesta of San Nicolas de Tolentino, Augustinians lit up the stage as they joined in the celebration during the Parade of Lights and Socio-Cultural Night held at MFGR Park and Baywalk.

Among the many participating schools, students from Colegio San Agustin-Mati, Inc., representing Grades 9, 10, and 11, proudly showcased their talents, carrying with them the Augustinian spirit and pride.

As the program finally began, Mayor Mayo Z. Almario welcomed everyone with his Opening Message. โ€œโ€ฆNo man is an island, nga dili kaya sa gobyerno kung wala ang supporta sa mga parokyano ug ang pagkahiusa sa katawhanโ€, he said, setting the tone to start the celebration.

Aside from them, other schools also showcased their performances, adding variety and color to the socio-cultural night.

To close the program, Most Rev. Abel C. Apigo, D.D., Bishop of Mati, shared his message, saying โ€œ I hope that the inspiration in the fourtheenth century San Nicholas De Tolentino, and the inspiration of the young Saint San Carlo Acutis, magpadayong kadasig natong tanan na mamahimong kahayag dinhi sa kalibutan.โ€ His words left a spark of inspiration to everyone.

The celebration ended with songs and awarding, leaving the community with smiles, gratitude, and a strong sense of togetherness.
