The height of the growing season occurs in August. We are beginning a new month at LVF to enjoy the Lord’s bounties and graces. The Daughters of Mary Help of Christians celebrated their 153rd anniversary in the LVF communities. We are all excited about the first 15 trainees from the Laura Vicuña Women Development Training Center’s Victorias, Negros Occidental industrial immersion program being deployed in Metro Manila. The National Certificate (NC) II candidates’ preparedness is further enhanced by the Housekeeping Assessment. Parents and students participated in a formation session held by LVF Macarascas, Palawan.

FIRST BATCH OF DEPLOYMENT TO MANILA
August 22. The first batch of TVET trainees was deployed to Manila as part of their industry immersion program. A total of fifteen (15) trainees were assigned to two different establishments to gain hands-on experience in their respective fields. Eleven trainees were deployed to Purple Oven, while four trainees were assigned to Alter to Fit. This deployment provided the trainees with valuable opportunities to apply their technical skills in real-world work environments, further enhancing their practical knowledge and preparing them for future employment. The event marked an important milestone in their training journey and demonstrated the program’s commitment to bridging education and industry.

HOUSEKEEPING NC II ASSESSMENT

August 13. Ten (10) Housekeeping TVET students took their Housekeeping NC II Assessment at Silay Institute (SI). This assessment aimed to evaluate their skills and readiness for future employment in the hospitality industry. The students were tested on various housekeeping tasks aligned with industry standards, including room preparation, cleaning procedures, and guest service. Out of the ten students, nine (9) were declared “Competent,” while one (1) still needs improvement. On Sept. 15, out of the ten (10) trainees who participated in the assessment, eight (8) were successfully rated as “Competent,” demonstrating their readiness to meet industry standards, while two (2) were marked as “Not Yet Competent,” indicating the need for further training before they can retake the assessment. This activity highlights the continuous effort to equip students with the necessary skills and certifications to pursue successful careers, and Ms. Inson’s support was instrumental in helping the trainees perform to the best of their abilities. The successful completion of the assessment by the majority of the students reflects the effectiveness of the school’s technical-vocational training and its commitment to producing skilled, job-ready graduates. It also serves as a milestone in the students’ journey toward achieving their career goals in the hospitality field.

REGISTRAR’S TRAINING FOR GRADING SHEET

August 13. The Office of the School Registrar conducted a one-day training session for the faculty focused on the proper use of the new grading sheet.

The initiative was designed to ensure consistency, accuracy, and ease of use across all departments, ultimately supporting a more streamlined grading process. The training served as a valuable opportunity for teachers to clarify questions and familiarize themselves with the new system ahead of its full implementation.

SSLG ELECTION

August 1. The SSLG (Supreme Secondary Learner Government) Election was held at the School Gymnasium, where aspiring SSLG officers campaigned and vied for student leadership positions.

Over those days, students were introduced to essential entrepreneurial concepts—like opportunity spotting, creative thinking, and project planning—through engaging talks.  But beyond just listening, students jumped into action: armed with ideas, they sketched plans, crafted prototypes, and collaborated in groups, bringing their entrepreneurial visions into tangible form. This hands-on approach not only made their learning more memorable but also built their creativity, confidence, and teamwork skills—traits that are vital whether one starts a business or takes on any professional challenge.

HOME VISITATION TO SELECTED GRADE 12 STUDENTS

August 11. Sir Rino Barrido, Ms. Flora Mie Ellena, and Ms. Gina Inson carried out a home visitation, traveling from Dolores to Paquita II in Victorias City to investigate the frequent absences of two Grade 12 students, Kennymarie Doble and Triecksy Perono. During the visit, the teachers spoke with the students’ guardians and learned that they were unaware of any specific circumstances that would explain the students’ pattern of absences. The students themselves affirmed that they prepare daily and plan to attend school each morning, yet their attendance remained inconsistent. In response, the visiting teachers facilitated an open and collaborative discussion, which led to a formal agreement among the students, their parents or guardians, and the teachers. They all committed to ensuring that both students would resume regular attendance starting Tuesday, August 12, 2025. As a follow-up, the teachers proposed continued monitoring of attendance and further communication with the families to prevent recurrence, recognizing the critical role of collaboration between home and school in addressing absenteeism.

PROMOTING THE RIGHTS TO EDUCATION AND HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION

August 11. Sister Sarah B. Garcia conducted a one-day talk titled “Promoting the Right to Education and Human Rights Education.” The event aimed to raise awareness among the school community about individual rights, particularly in the context of education and human dignity. The morning session, held at the school gymnasium, was attended by students. Sister Garcia discussed the importance of education as a basic human right and encouraged the youth to become advocates for equality, inclusion, and justice. She emphasized how students can actively contribute to a more just and respectful society by understanding and standing up for their rights. In the afternoon, a separate session was conducted at the LV Hall for faculty, staff, and school personnel. This session focused on the critical role of educators in fostering a rights-based and inclusive learning environment. Key topics included non-discrimination, equal access to education, and the responsibility of schools in upholding human rights. The talk was a meaningful initiative that inspired the entire school community to become more informed, empowered, and committed to promoting human rights in their everyday lives.

Sr. Phebe Lacse, FMA, and LVF social worker Ms. Jessa Mae Nardo facilitated the Sunday catechism at Cavite and Taguig, a day filled with learning, prayer, and sharing. In his book Companion of the Young, Don Bosco described that “the age of youth, according to Don Bosco, is the ‘key to one’s whole earthly existence’ [8], a responsible and constructive age, and a happy occasion for entering into a special relationship with God and for undertaking a virtuous and happy journey to holiness (Servite Domino in laetitia).”

SOLIDARITYSERYE

“Let us be what we are and be that well, in order to bring honor to the Master Craftsman whose handiwork we are.” – St. Francis de Sales. All in life is to be done through LOVE and nothing through force. Love in this case is an act of the will, not a sentiment of the heart. It is seeing good in another and choosing and acting to make that goodness grow. We should accentuate the positive rather than condemn the negative. We should assume a positive stance towards everyone. “The measure of our love is to love without measure.” As Salesians, we are called to more than simply respond to the challenges of the world. We are called to act in the name of the Gospel, affirming the God-given dignity of every person. 

PASWI COP

Every Wednesday, at 8:00 in the evening, the Philippine Association of Social Workers, Inc. (PASWI) gathered on an online prayer, Circle of Prayer (COP), via Zoom videoconferencing. It is a perfect time to reflect and rest on the days that have gone by and to be recharged for the remaining days. This is co-hosted by PASWI’s different local chapters and facilitated by PASWI President, Sr. Ma. Victoria P. Sta. Ana, FMA and PASWI Executive Director, Ma’am Eva Ponce de Leon.

SYM JOURNEY AND NATIONAL YOUTH DAY EXPERIENCE

June 7. Three LVF Staff Members, Ms. Jessa Mae Nardo, Ms. Samantha Lavado, and Ms. Vea Villarena, actively participated in the much-anticipated National Youth Day (NYD) celebration held in Caceres, Naga City, Bicol. This year’s theme is “Youth Empowerment for Nation Building.” It highlights the crucial role young people play in shaping the country’s present and future trajectories with faith, hope, and service. It was a week filled with joy, prayer, service, and unforgettable experiences that strengthened our faith and deepened our connection with one another as young pilgrims of hope. The National Youth Day is a special event celebrated by the Catholic Church to demonstrate its profound love for young people through tangible actions. This celebration brought together thousands of young people from all over the country for a meaningful encounter with Christ, the Church, and fellow believers.  

Before the official kick-off of the NYD, the group celebrated the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM) on June 8. The SYM itself is a global movement inspired by Saint John Bosco, aiming to form young people into “good Christians and upright citizens” through Salesian spirituality. In the Philippines, SYM is composed of three groups: (1) SYM-FIL – Representing the FMA (Salesian Sisters or Daughters of Mary Help of Christians) Philippine Province; (2) SYM-FIN – Philippine-North; (3) SYM-FIS – Philippine-South.  Delegates were welcomed by their foster families,  visited various parishes, and joined the vibrant procession of the Peñafrancia Parade in Naga. “It was an incredible moment and experience…to walk together with other young Catholics in devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia,” said Ms. Vea. “We also had a time for deep connection. Through formation workshops at Centro, we shared and listened to one another’s stories and reflections. These moments reminded us of the richness of our shared faith and the importance of unity among the youth,” she added.  One of the many significant encounters they had was immersing in the lives of the locals, especially those who were greatly affected by Typhoon Kristy in 2024. It was terrifying, traumatic, and life-threatening. Ms. Samantha shared that the Parish of Sr. Rose of Lima church became the residents’ refuge.  The June 10-14 event welcomed participants from 84 ecclesiastical territories and 22 Catholic youth organizations, according to Fr. Juan Pablo Carpio, archdiocesan catechetical director of the Archdiocese of Caceres. Carpio said that young people are not only the future of the Church and society, but they are the present. Ms. Vea expressed that “this whole journey was a blessing—our first-ever NYD experience. It opened our eyes and hearts to a deeper faith, gave us the chance to serve and connect with others, and allowed us to form new friendships and families.”  “We carry with us memories, lessons, and a renewed spirit to continue living out the SYM mission with joy.” Ms. Jessa added.

It celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the Blessed Mother in the Upper Room in Jerusalem and is often regarded as the birth of the Church. But it was not a new feast.

PASWI COP

The Philippine Association of Social Workers, Inc. (PASWI) continue to give space for social workers through the Circle of Prayer (COP) to be silent in prayer, reflect on the Word of God, and shared how God’s presence provided inner peace, guidance, and a sense of purpose to the lives of the Filipino social workers. Through COP, we talk to Him in prayer and hear from Him through Scripture. This friendship transforms us from the inside out. With God at the center of their lives, the services they provide reflect care, compassion, and love that endures.

The Holy Spirit also produces His fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

As we draw near to God in prayer, study His Word, and obey His commandments, we experience His amazing love and gain an eternal perspective that transcends our temporary problems and struggles. This gives us unwavering hope and confidence to persevere, even in the most challenging times.

As we align our will with His purposes, we gain a profound sense of belonging and destiny.2

This COP is co-hosted by various PASWI local chapters, facilitated by Sr. Marivic Sta. Ana, FMA (PASWI National President) and PASWI E.D Eva Ponce de Leon.
