In light of the recent earthquake occurrences in the country, the Senior High School Department of Don Bosco Tarlac held an Earthquake Drill on October 20, 2025, at Don Bosco Tarlac Cresendo Campus.

The activity began with a talk on Earthquake Safety led by the Tarlac City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) during the morning assembly, followed by a full-scale drill.

The drill was organized through the combined efforts of the Red Cross Youth Council Club animators, Mr. Angelo Legaspi and Ms. Mary Jane Reyes, together with the Student Affairs Office headed by Mr. Prince King Cases. A quick rescue operation was also demonstrated by Mr. Ricca Cura, Mr. John Matthew Desiderio, Mr. Jon Lester Mirandilla, and the Manmovers.

As Legaspi reminded everyone, "From this day on, we will not take for granted the very things that can save our lives.”

The Tarlac CDRRMO commended the school’s preparedness and well-structured safety program, affirming Don Bosco Tarlac’s commitment to building a culture of readiness and resilience.

In today’s Morning Talk, Engr. Kareen M. Bagunu, LPT, Adviser of Grade 11–CarreΓ±o, shared how her pink rosary has been her companion since childhood, and that it has been a constant reminder of faith, family, and love.

She reminded everyone that one mark of a true Bosconian is this: there’s always a rosary in the right pocket. πŸ’™πŸΊ

Faith and devotion filled the streets of F. TaΓ±edo on Saturday, October 18, 2025, as Don Bosco Technical Institute Tarlac joined hundreds of devotees in the 4th Tarlac Grand Marian Procession, honoring our Mother Mary.

The celebration began with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Most Rev. Roberto C. Mallari, D.D., Bishop of Tarlac. The event gathered clergy, parishioners, and Marian devotees from within and beyond the diocese of Tarlac.

Bosconians proudly carried the image of Mary Help of Christians, the patroness of all Salesian communities, whose presence reminded us of St. John Bosco’s words: β€œHave devotion to Mary Help of Christians and you will see what miracles are.”

The procession moved along M.H. Del Pilar and F. TaΓ±edo Street, drawing the faithful in praying the Holy Rosary.

Now on its 4th year, the Tarlac Grand Marian Procession continues to be one of the diocese’s significant religious events, drawing devotees strengthened with faith and hope.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, Pray for us!

Mary Help of Christians, Pray for us!

On October 15, 2025, at St. Francis de Sales, students took center stage for their One-Act Play, a collaborative performance task for Creative Writing under Mr. Jose Carlo Angelo Espinosa, and Disciplines and Ideas in the Applied Social Sciences under Mr. Mark Lester Ramos, and Mrs. Rocel Arguelles.

Tackling social issues in the Philippines, the performances by 12-Bragion and 12-Boscariol turned stories into statements and reflection into art.

A powerful reminder that when creativity meets advocacy, change begins.
