🌧️ Tonight’s weather — Laguna & Batangas

Enhanced Habagat (southwest monsoon) remains the main concern. It is bringing moderate to heavy rains over parts of Luzon.

Heavy rainfall warnings have been issued in parts of Luzon, with flooding possible, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas.

Laguna and Batangas should remain alert tonight for periods of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and possible sudden rises in waterways.

A tropical depression has also developed outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, but the immediate weather threat for your area tonight is primarily the Habagat and associated heavy rainfall, rather than a direct typhoon landfall.

⚠️ For San Pablo/Laguna and Batangas: If rain becomes continuous or very heavy, avoid crossing flooded roads and stay away from rivers, creeks and landslide-prone slopes. Keep phones charged and monitor your local DRRMO and PAGASA alerts.

June 3, 2026 – Strong 30 Years, Batch 96

As part of our 30th-year celebration, Batch 96 successfully completed an exceptional community project " BRIGADA ESKWELA " benefiting five elementary schools:

MarCal Elementary School

Balagbag Elementary School

Talahiban 1st Elementary School

Buhay na Sapa Elementary School

Abung Elementary School

These schools are home to many of our Batch 96 classmates who now serve as dedicated teachers. Our batch donated paints and painting tools, garbage bins, cleaning materials, water containers, and water dispensers to help improve the learning environment for students and teachers.

The project was warmly received, and all the teachers expressed their gratitude and happiness. We are proud to give back to our community and support the schools where education continues to shape future generations.

Batch 96: Celebrating 30 Years of Friendship, Service, and Giving Back. 💙🎉

Congratulations and thank you very much to everyone who contributed to making this meaningful project a success.

Strong 30 years Batch 96 proved once again that time and distance can’t break a bond built on shared memories and lasting friendship. On April 25, laughter, stories, and a whole lot of nostalgia filled the air as everyone came together to celebrate a heartfelt combined despedida for Russel Masangkay and Mariluo Isabela. It wasn’t just a party—it was a beautiful reminder of how this batch continues to show up for one another, no matter where life has taken each person.

The night was a mix of joy and bittersweet moments, as friends reminisced about the past while sending care for one another. Hugs lingered a little longer, smiles carried deeper meaning, and every shared moment felt like a treasure. Strong 30 years Batch 96 didn’t just reunite—they celebrated a friendship that refuses to fade, proving that some connections only grow stronger with time.

Three decades have passed, yet the bond of Batch ’96 from Joseph Marcello Institute feels as warm and familiar as ever. Time may have taken each of us down different paths—careers built, families raised, dreams chased and sometimes reshaped—but the laughter, memories, and shared moments from our younger years remain deeply rooted in our hearts. Reconnecting now is like opening a treasured time capsule, where every story told and every smile exchanged reminds us of who we were and how far we’ve come. There is something truly special about seeing familiar faces again, now carrying the wisdom and experiences of 30 years, yet still holding the same spark that once filled our classrooms.

As we gather once more, this pre-reunion becomes more than just reminiscing—it becomes a celebration of life, resilience, and enduring friendship. Each conversation is a chance to rediscover one another, to listen, to laugh, and to appreciate the journeys we’ve all taken. In this moment, we are reminded that while time moves forward, genuine connections never fade. Our bond as Batch ’96 continues to grow stronger, filled with gratitude, joy, and the comforting truth that no matter how much life changes, we will always have each other to come home to.
