Thank You and Farewell Tita Cory!

After an inspiring farewell (last Wednesday, August 5, 2009) to our country’s great leader and mother, SFAS decided to include an INFORMATION and APPRECIATION CAMPAIGN of the late President “Cory” Aquino in our Buwan ng Wika celebration this month.

Social Studies and Filipino teachers will dedicate at least one class this month to this campaign. For example, Sir JR Abello will have his Social Studies 2nd - 4th year classes write a paper about the late President. The first page will a simple one-page research on "Who is Cory Aquino?" The second page is an answer to the question, "Why learn about her?" Discussion of their paper will follow. Another example would me in Ms. Harlene Figueroa's Music classes, she will teach the songs of the EDSA Revoluation - "Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo," "Bayan Ko," and "Magkaisa."

Last Friday, faculty and staff wore yellow in school while students wore a yellow ribbon on their school uniform. Teachers offered opening and closing prayers for our country, as the late President Cory wanted us to do.

LET US KEEP THE FIRE OF NATIONALISM AND PEOPLE POWER ALIVE! LET US PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION!

TAMA NA! SOBRA NA! MAGKAISA! MABUHAY ANG BANSANG PILIPINAS!
