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.
The night began with the dazzling Parade of Lights, where the streets of Mati were filled with music, colors, and bright decorations. The Augustinians joined the street dance with joy and energy, showing the spirit of their school and the tradition they carry with pride.
As the program finally began, Mayor Mayo Z. Almario welcomed everyone with his Opening Message. โโฆNo 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.
The Augustinians later took the stage for their Folk Dance Presentation, earning cheers and appreciation from the crowd. Their graceful steps and lively movements brought pride not only to their school but also to the whole Augustinian family. 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 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.
