PCC @ 108 Founding Anniversary: Day 1 - February 17, 2021

What pictures of the day’s event show our identity as a Catholic institution and that we are of the CICM Fathers?

- (See attached pictures below.)

What activities or programs that show or highlighted this legacy? Why do you say so?

- Studying and growing up in this Catholic institution, I realized that the history of our school has always been a very inspiring narrative. It has been ingrained in us, students, that the CICM Missionaries who founded PCC was known not just founders of great noble work, but also of an enlivening community who deeply cared for others, and I think that our main program this morning, which was devoted to our dear grade 10 students highlighted the CICM Father's prominent legacy. I realized that it was a very refreshing experience that we were able to encourage our fellow schoolmates why should they choose the HumSS Strand as their Senior High School program as they are about to embark on a new journey. I was also able to witness their eagerness to learn, not just for a mere desire to get high grades, to graduate with honors, or to land a high profitable occupations, but for their aspiration to help those who are in need.

Attach pictures or write a narrative of your participation on a certain activity. It should be two paragraphs with 5 to 7 sentences per paragraph.

- Preparing for this event after so many weeks of planning, organizing, and practicing, it was an overall another draining yet fulfilling process of serving my schoolmates. At 10 am, I was busy bombarding my fellow council officers in our group chat, reminding each one of them of their assigned tasks. Joining the Zoom meeting for the SHS Feels activity, I felt the pressure that I always felt when organizing an event. Jumping to the main program, we were greeted with a very energetic guest speaker who discussed the SHS Tracks and Strands to the grade 10 students and fortunately, everyone was fully entertained and informed with knowledge from someone with a good foundation of expertise. The guest speaker also provided the students with advice regarding college universities, courses, and occupations that can benefit the students when it comes to future decision-making.

The seminar ended and it was time to enter the breakout rooms, with each strand having a designated one. Starting off with the program, Ms. Mia Huenda delivered her opening remarks that included a warm welcome to our future Humanistas. I  was also able to convey an effective introduction regarding the general concept of HumSS, discussing the strand's subjects and aligned jobs related to the said program. Consequently, the grade 10 students were greatly entertained by our lively MCs as they answered the online game that we prepared, entitled #TatakHumanista. The program was concluded by our previous council officers who were able to conduct a very much informative and fun open forum, discussing their experiences as former HumSS students and officers who served the strand for two whole years.

At the end of the day, I can attest that this event was fruitful, not only because the council organized another successful event, but because I learned something new once again. I am grateful for the opportunity that I was able to reconnect with the previous council officers, our kuya(s), that did not only serve as mentors for us to grow as leaders, but as well as our friends who had always had our backs.

What activities or program that show or highlight love for PCC? Why?

Today's activities was really one of a kind, and I personally think that these events was able to emphasize our love for our institution. Firstly, the essay writing contest was able to showcase PCCian's talents when it comes to writing such realistic stories that surely captivated everyone's minds. This activity did not only serve as a competition, but a creative venture to everyone who wish to improve and develop their skills in writing. Second, the Online Voter's registration webinar did not only highlight the love in the PCC community by informing the students about the significance of voting, but it also manifested our love for our country by realizing that this particular right of us Filipinos is of crucial importance. I am thankful that this founding celebration was not only fun, but accompanied with overflowing knowledge as well.

As a Senior High School student, what are the things to love about PCC? Answer this in two paragraphs with 5 to 7 sentences each. Please make it specific and concrete.

As this is my last year in PCC, and having to study in this Catholic institution for 12 whole years, I realized that there are so many things to love and admire about Pasig Catholic College. First, the quality Catholic education that has always been prioritized by the school. This shows that PCC truly appreciates and value their students by honing them with the power of knowledge and love of God. Second, the people that always made our school years full of unforgettable memories and knowledge, the teachers. They have always successfully cared for us by fostering an environment wherein every student is valued through our own unique skills and individualities. These does not only apply in these current years, but I have also heard these statements from my father and siblings, with PCC being their Alma Mater.

Additionally, PCC does not only acknowledge knowledge, but as well as the welfare and development of students. Various activities such as Intramurals, Buwan ng Wika, Founding Anniversary celebration, First Friday masses, seminars, outbound, recollections and retreats, and competitions are included to the very long list that PCCians truly admire about the school. This emphasizes that having an established creative interventions will also help the students to create a much more accepting community wherein everyone is acknowledged.

What pictures show that PCC is adhering to her vision?

Do you understand the song WE ARE? What lines from the song was expressed or shown by an activity or program this day? Give at least 3 and briefly narrate or say something about it.

1. It is our promise to practice our faith - The morning mass ceremony embodies this particular line from the song and successfully expressed how much PCC values practicing our faith and beliefs by making every event a blessed celebration.
2. We commit to Catholic Education - This is actually a no surprise. PCC has always managed to provide catholic education to their students throughout the academic year, not just by institutionalizing sacred mass or spiritual occasions, but actually applying catholic virtues to the curriculum, including subjects and other extracurricular events as well.
3. We are Persons of Character and Competence - One of the many things that makes me proud as a PCCian is that we prioritize embodying character and competence. All of the events that I attended during the last day of this school year's founding anniversary celebration captivated everyone's attention by conducting programs that truly encouraged and promoted the students' gift in various skills and learning areas.

As a Senior High School student, how can you concretely express PCC’s vision now that the world is experiencing the pandemic? Write your thoughts about this in two paragraphs with 5 to 7 sentences each.

As the world is continuously barreling a global pandemic, people are  evidently experiencing constant uncertainties, along with immense adjustments from different aspects, especially in work, education, health, and social life, among many others. That being said, as this is my last year as a student in PCC, I have also learned to realize that the institution has managed to administer a safe way of providing quality catholic education in the comfort of our homes. It may not be in the most accepting way since all of us have encountered anxieties in this new normal, but this certainly reflects the school's vision of committing to quality catholic education. I am glad that PCC fully pledged on the school's vision and was enable to give opportunity to every students to learn in the four walls of their homes. However, I do also believe that such improvements in the system of this "new normal" is needed in order to improve everyone's learning environment.

Given the current situation of the pandemic, what did you realize about this year's celebration of the Founding  Anniversary as designed for the Senior High School Department?

The Philippines is nearing its one year in a nationwide lockdown due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. For that reason, this school year was surely filled with such uncertainties and new learning environments that students and teachers had to encounter. This academic year brought out the best and the worst out of everyone. I realized this sentiment because having to adjust in such a difficult and unprecedented way compromised everyone's ability to improve, to socialize, and to learn. However, I do also think that this pandemic brought a light to everyone in the depth of full darkness.

Throughout this 3-day Founding Anniversary of PCC, I have come to realize that students were able to execute such skills and talents despite being in the midst of a pandemic. This is of crucial importance since students are able to express and showcase their talents through creative ventures that especially helped PCCians to be productive during this situation we are all stuck in. Though I have to agree that face-to-face classes is so much more effective than having laptop screens in front of us throughout the day, students did not let the pandemic hinder them from producing such events for the whole school to participate in. Additionally, these events actually managed to bring ingenious and visionary entertainment to everyone's homes, students, teachers, and other school employees alike. We all got to enjoy witnessing students and teachers parade their pride in front of the whole PCC community, with our gadgets screens only separating us.

I am also glad that I am able to reconnect with PCC alumni that effortlessly supported us throughout all the events we organized. Moreover, I was also able to build a good relationship with other student leaders and participants through cooperation and joint action. This shows that even though we are in the middle of a pandemic, students are able to practice the virtues that the institution taught. This made me realize that I should treasure the memories and learnings that accompanied me in my growth in PCC since I was in 1st grade. I am thankful that PCC helped to develop and improve not just as a student, but as well as a friend, a daughter, a sibling, and a child of God.
