The SBO liturgists, Mr. Rey James M. Cruz and Ms. Deciree L. Wayet, along with the School Youth Ministry (SYM) President Ms. Jean Umadhay, conducted a 3-day after-school training on October 15, 16, and 17, 2025, for some classroom liturgists. 💙🦋
The training covered the discussion on the meaning and uses of sacred vessels, liturgical objects, sacred garments, and actions during a Holy Mass. Participants also practiced proper altar serving, from the introductory rite to the concluding rite. Surely, the participants learned a lot, not only about these practices but also about strengthening faith as Christians.🕊️🕊️

“Beyond the Mat: My Taekwondo Journey”

From Northern Warriors Martial Arts in Buguias, Benguet, this is May Ann Masgay, sharing how Taekwondo helped me shape confidence and strength beyond the mat.

When I first tried Taekwondo, I didn’t expect much. I was just curious. But after that first class, something changed. I felt a strong sense of belonging, something I couldn’t really explain. That feeling pulled me back to the dojang again and again. Each session made me stronger, not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally.

Taekwondo quickly became more than just a sport for me. It became a source of happiness, a place to grow, and a second family. I learned to be braver, more disciplined, and more confident in myself. Even outside the gym, the lessons I learned in training helped me face life’s challenges with a stronger heart and a clearer mind.

Our coach, Sir Johnwell, often reminds us, “Ang nagpapababa, lumalago. Ang nagpapataas, lumalayo.” It means those who stay humble will continue to grow, while those who become too proud will slowly drift away. His words stuck with me and became a reminder to always stay grounded, no matter how far I go.

To all the juniors and beginners just starting their own journey, I want to say this: Taekwondo is not just about learning how to fight. It teaches you how to respect others, believe in yourself, and never give up. The path isn’t always easy, but every challenge you face will show you your true strength.

My journey is still ongoing. I’m still learning, still growing, and still pushing myself to become better every day. Taekwondo has changed my life, and maybe it can change yours too.

SBO President Mr. Homer Wayne Kurt P. Pepoa and SBO Vice President Mr. Dhean Haizek L. Mayona represented SISAI and the entire student body at the CEAP-CAR Regional Assembly on September 4-5, 2025, held at Prince Bernhard Gym, Saint Louis University, Baguio City. It was a joyful occasion as representatives from various private Catholic schools attended the event. The school representatives had the opportunity to immerse themselves in experiences during the two-day assembly, shaping their perspectives for the modern world.🧗‍♀️

On the first day, Dr. Ruben Velarde discussed the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence under the theme, "Rethinking Learning in a Shortcut-driven World." He noted that many students are currently using AI, and he stated that it is not inherently wrong to use AI as long as it is used for intentional learning and not as a shortcut. Dr. Velarde also emphasized that the overuse of AI may lessen critical thinking, especially among students. Therefore, he shared productive ways to utilize AI, such as creating study aids, reminding everyone that while AI supports learning practically and ethically, it must not diminish critical thinking.🤖🦾

On the second day, Dr. Andrew Macalma emphasized the capabilities and values that a student leader must possess, including good morale and servant-leadership. He highlighted that authority is not necessary to be a leader because true leadership is both a service and a commitment. Dr. Macalma also shared meaningful insights regarding the burdens of student leaders in their roles, reminding students to always push further until they become GOLDEN, referencing the song "Golden" by Huntrix: "𝙒𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥, 𝙪𝙥, 𝙪𝙥, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙂𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙚, 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣." 🏆🌟

Surely, not just SISAI’s SBO representatives were empowered and inspired, but also the other students present, as the CEAP-CAR helps create bonds between different Catholic schools. These two days of fruitful seminars were a pilgrimage for solidarity and progress, reminding students to stand for what is right and to think of the well-being not just of the school, but also to become pillars of change and hope within their communities.

Additionally, the event was a great opportunity to connect, as the SBO representatives stated,
"𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚, 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙪𝙨”. 💙💙

𝑺𝑰𝑺𝑨𝑰 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔: 𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑪𝑬𝑨𝑷-𝑪𝑨𝑹⚜️📢📢
On the 4th and 5th of September, 2025, San Isidro School of Abatan, Inc. representatives—Rev. Raymundo Songyap (School Director), Ms. Razil Galletis (School Principal), Ms. Joan Amlos, Ms. Karen Puyongan, Ms. Jovy Ann Taawan, and Ms. Jinky Tomas (teachers’ representatives), Mr. Homer Wayne Pepoa, and Mr. Dhean Haizek Mayona (SBO representatives)—proudly attended the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines-CAR Regional Assembly held at the Prince Bernhard Gym, Saint Louis University, Baguio City. 🗓️

The two-day assembly focused on the collaboration and engagement of different private Catholic schools, as well as fostering Christian character through liturgical activities. It included divided break-out sessions for administrations, teachers, parents/alumni, and student leaders, and the planning of programs that would help and uplift their co-stakeholders. These programs are to be implemented per school, vicariate, or diocese. Overall, the CEAP-CAR provided remarkable opportunities that shaped everyone’s perspectives for creating a progressive and safer school and society.🌎
