Project “ Re-Gulong”
Turning Old Car Tires into Stronger Futures
From Waste to Wall. From Trash to Protection. From Old Tires to New Hope.
Dear Tabor Hill College Community,
What if the old, worn-out tires in your garage could help protect our students?
What if something once considered “junk” could become a symbol of unity, safety, and responsibility?
We are launching a meaningful environmental and community project:
The Temporary Rope Fence Project
Using recycled tires as foundations, we will build a safe, sturdy temporary school fence — protecting our learners while teaching them an unforgettable lesson:
“What we recycle today protects tomorrow.”

🎉Congratulations to the College of Philosophy and the College of Music of Tabor Hill College-OAD, Inc. for their meaningful participation in "Sinulog sa Tabor 2026".

We also extend our warmest congratulations to the 2nd Year and 4th Year participants for being declared Champions. Your dedication, discipline, and unity reflect not only artistic excellence but also the harmony of intellect and culture.

In the spirit of philosophy, this celebration reminds us that truth, beauty, and goodness are not only contemplated in thought but also expressed through culture, movement, and communal joy. As Aristotle teaches, excellence is not an act but a habit and you have embodied this excellence with grace and passion.

May this achievement inspire the entire academic community to continue pursuing wisdom, creativity, and service in all that we do.

THC & SMIT FIESTA SEÑOR 2026 HOMILY EXCERPT | Today, as we honor the Señor Santo Niño here at Tabor Hill, we are reminded that faith is never too small to matter. Like the mustard seed in the Gospel, each one of us—especially our children and students—may seem small in the eyes of the world, but in the hands of God, we carry the promise of great growth.

The Santo Niño teaches us that God chooses smallness to reveal greatness. In the simplicity of a Child, we discover strength; in humility, we find glory. Just as the disciples were transformed when they encountered Christ in the Transfiguration, we too are invited to allow the Lord to change us—from fear to trust, from indifference to love, from spectators of faith to living witnesses of justice and righteousness.

To honor the Señor Santo Niño is not only to celebrate, but to entrust our lives to Him—so that the grace we receive today may grow within us and bear fruit in our families, our school, our Church, and our world.”

📜 Feast Day of St. Thomas Aquinas
Doctor Angelicus | Patron of Catholic Schools and Philosophers

👉Today, the Sapientia Taboris, joyfully commemorates the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the greatest minds in the history of philosophy and theology. 📚 For Aquinas, reason was never the enemy of faith—it was its companion, guide, and servant in the search for what is real, good, and true.

✨ “The study of philosophy is not to know what others have thought, but to discover the truth of things.”
— Expositio in Boethium De Trinitate, q. 2, a. 2

🌟As students and lovers of wisdom (philo-sophia), may we continue to imitate St. Thomas Aquinas in his love for truth, intellectual humility, and disciplined inquiry.

🕊️ St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.
