In the spirit of being one with the Parish of St. Martin of Tours, St. Paul College of Bocaue joined major activities to celebrate the Feast of the Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa.
Hosted by Mr. Ernesto U. Guillermo, Jr. and Miss Imelda Baltazar, the HS and GS Academic Chairs respectively, the school held its scheduled cultural show on June 29, 2014 at the Ramirez Park beside the SMT Parish Church.
The show featured varied talents from the Grade School and High School pupils and students, faculty, staff, maintenance, parents, and alumni.
Using the school's theme for the year
"Paulinians: Alive, Ablaze in God's Light", the cultural show also highlighted video presentations about the school, the history of the Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa, and the
Awit Tula sa Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa.
The doxology featured an original music composition on the Mahal na Poon ng Krus sa Wawa of Bro. Lesther Mangaliman, a seminarian from the Immaculate Concepcion Major Seminary who is on regency at SPCB. The lyrics were written by Sr. Ma. Gemma Moralita, SPC. It was performed live by selected Grade 9 students and some Grade School pupils.
In a rare gathering of Paulinian alumni singers, former members of the HS Glee Club, who are now professionals, rendered the Lupang Hinirang a capella.
The Salamin ng Lahi Dance Troupe of the High School Department interpreted the lively
Kung Pista ng Wawa to open the cultural show, which was profusely praised by Atty. Pete Principe, Vice President and Official Spokesman of the Hermandad, in his Opening Remarks.
This was followed by an interpretative dance of
I Need a Hero of the Grade School Student Council officers.
The audience was serenaded by the blending voices of three Grade 8 students Hannah Lettice Cruz, Alexa Abejo, and Danica in their rendition of
Breakaway of Kelly Clarkson. Miss Helowis Sandra Cruz, an alumna, followed it up with her soulful
On My Own of the musical Les Miserables.
Eric Lance Santiago, a Grade 2 drummer and lyrist, played
Dance Again, while another Grade 2 pupil danced herself three times as a puppet to
Saranggola ni Pepe.
Two violinists also showcased their skills with the sweetest stringed instrument. Mikael Jan Valeriano played
Thousand Years while Trisha Ritualo, Grade 8, performed
Allegro from Suzuki Violin Method and
Hunter's Chorus.
The Grade 1 pupils creatively danced
Flowers, Flowers while a new musical ensemble played the exotic bamboo
Anklung instruments. The Anklung Ensemble was composed of selected Grade 7 and Grade 8 students.
A 4th Year live band performed
Iisang Bangka of The Dawn. Meanwhile the Grade 3 pupils gracefully executed
Kalatong Subli. The Salamin ng Lahi Dance Troupe rendered another folk dance which was a combination of
Ani of Igorot,
Pag-apir,
Bulaklakan, and
Pandanggo sa Ilaw.
Some Grade 4 pupils interpreted
Angel in a ballet dance while the Paulinian Family Circle Officers of the HS Department, together with some faculty and staff performed a dance remix. The Grade 8 students did an upbeat modern dance.
The audience were led to a prayer for the repose of the soul of the victims of the Pagoda Tragedy in 1993 as a prelude to the hand mime presentation of the Staff and Personnel as they performed
Power of Your Love. The hand mime was performed in darkness which enhanced the hand movements of the performers wearing white gloves.
Mr. Alejandro M. Manuel, the HS MAPEH Subject Team Leader and coordinator of the cultural show, expressed his gratitude to all the participants and those behind the success of the show.
A certificate of appreciation was awarded to SPCB by the Fiesta Committee. The certificate was accepted by Sr. Maria Remedios R. Cayetano, SPC, the school Directress and HS-Principal and Sr. Marie Celine P. Santos, SPC, the Local Community Superior and GS Principal.
The show ended with the singing of the Paulinian Hymn after Dana Reyes, a Grade 9 student and a Server of the Altar of SMT Parish, led the Closing Prayer.
Other major activities joined by the school were the Novena Mass on June 30 and the Ligiran on the same date. Paulinians also participated in the Fun Run held on July 2, the anniversary of the Pagoda Tragedy of 1993.
