GEN. T. DE LEON โ College Department students attended a recollection at La Reya Events Place and Private Resort on April 8, 2026, for a short spiritual break. Mrs. Estela Nepomuceno opened the event and welcomed Brother Demson to take part on stage.
Brother Demson began the recollection with a warm, fun experience for students. He began by explaining that recollection is a moment of grace where we are afforded peace, security, and privacy, and no one can disturb us. As he noted, โWe have a purpose why we were born in this life. Our notebook is our journal to know what our purpose is. And pain reveals the truth.โ Students participated actively as Brother Demson began asking questions about family.
He remarked, โWhen they share something, it helps us learn something from them. We have needs that humans cannot give, so we seek Jesus,โ emphasizing that we have deep needs in our hearts that others cannot fully satisfy. Jesus is the only one who can fill those needs. We listen to each other and learn from each other, but for our deepest struggles of the heart, we seek solutions through surrender, faith, and prayer in Jesus.
Recollection gives students time to ask, โHow am I really doing?โ, โWhat kind of person am I becoming?โ, and โWhere is God in my life?โ It reminds students that formation is not only academic but also spiritual. It is a pause that helps students move forward in their journey with clarity and resilience. โFor I know the plans I have for you,โ declares the Lord โ Jeremiah 29:11. Even in confusion and pressure, God tells us not to lose hope because our story is not over.
Brother Demson asked, โAre you happy or joyful?โ, highlighting that many students look smiling on the outside, but on the inside, they are tired and confused. Emphasizing this, he explained that we can see in a personโs eyes if they are not okay, even if they smile.
He sang, โAt kung kailangan mo ako, asahan mong akoโy darating. Kung kailangan mo ako sa sandaling bigo na ang lahat. Pusong kay tamis. Kailanmaโy di ka matitiis. Sa sandaling kailangan mo ako,โ underscoring that God will not abandon us when we need Him most. Students should not be afraid of their sins because God cares for us, even in our darkest times. When we cannot reach for the stars, he helps us find a stone to step on in our journey. God is our north star. When we have problems, we should not look left or right; we look up, because God gives us the true meaning and value of our lives.
After the Holy Mass, the event continued with writing a letter to ourselves for the future. Additionally, five students were chosen or voluntarily shared their letters with the audience. The venue was filled with smiles and happy glances as Brother Demson concluded the event with the blindfold activity. Students experienced being on the beach โ quiet, peaceful, yet lonely โ reflecting on their own lives and futures. This allowed them to imagine their parentsโ sacrifices and reminded students how much love and effort their parents put in. It also reminded everyone that even when life feels uncertain, love and support are always present.
The official officers were photographed on stage as Mrs. Tubera led their oath-taking after the Holy Mass during the recollection. Each club, organization, and student council officer was gathered on stage for a picture. The event ended at 5:00 p.m. with closing remarks from Mrs. Tubera and Mrs. Nepomuceno. Students captured moments of friendship and joy after a day of reflection during the recollection.
