Greatest Gift

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas Day,
No greater gift is there than love.

What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.


There goes a song that echoes a strident voice from the deepest part of me. A song full of meaning and can touch one wailing soul.

Christians celebrate December25 as Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of our Jesus Christ. As you can observe, many people are busy decorating and preparing for this most awaited season. Elegant Christmas trees, colorful lanterns, sparkling Christmas lights is what you see everywhere. But what is really the true essence of Christmas?

For me, the greatest gift that I can give this Christmas is LOVE. Why? Like what the song wants to convey, the world needs love. When we love one another we are ready to share our blessing to others and help them in our own little ways. Christmas is not about giving expensive gifts as a sign of love. Even though our gift is not that expensive as long it comes to our heart, we can bring joy to them.

Let us forgive and forget the people who hurt us. Let us share our blessings on those people who need help. Let us love one another. Let us pray for the sake of our community. Because I do believe that the central message of Christmas is Peace and Goodwill among all people.

November! November!

There are many incidents in our life that can be done in the month of November. One of these is the All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

During the month of November, we also celebrate the Filipino Values Month. And the theme for this celebration is "Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Filipino: Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon."

Mrr. Joseph Obrero conducted the Moring Trivia every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. All of the questions were easy because we've learned it in our Values Class. There are also many activities done related in the said event like Kite Flying Contest, Sayawit, Cookfest, Poster-making and Tagis Talino.

One important event is also done in the month of November, the City Meet 2009 and it was held in our school. The Senior students were requested to attend and watched the opening program of the said event.
