scheduled every 4th
Friday of November.

the main source of livelihood of the
people in the community, ; that is
gathering seashells and other seafoods
on the seashore and riverbanks
surrounding the barangay for a long time
already.
-The residents of the barangay have
other source of income such farming and
fishing. But during lean months and when
the weather is not conducive for fishing,
people of all ages turn to “panginhas” to
survive. The money they get from selling
what they have gathered and caught is
used to buy things they need at home
-It is a significant activity of the barangay
because it makes the people in the
community aware of the importance of
the coastal area and the riverbank in the
barangay and be proud of having it.

importance of preserving and caring for it
for their childrens’ future.

Sibunag Bridge Sibunag Bridge is the longest bridge
in Guimaras. It is about meters long. It
connects the Barangay Alegria in Sibunag
and Barangay San Antonio in Nueva
Valencia. The construction started in
1979 during the Marcos regime and was
only finished during the Ramos
administration
Before the bridge was built, students
from Sitio Pandan if Barangay San Antonio
rode on a raft or in a banca to cross the
river to go to school at Alegria Elementary
School and the Alegria Barangay High
School.
The bridge is a great help not only for
the students but also to the community of
the said barangays for they can travel fast
and easy from one barangay to another.
In conducting a field trip, the students
can see how long and wide the bridge is
and they can realize the importance of
bridge not only for the students of Pandan
San Antonio who studied at Alegria
Elementary School and Alegria National
High School but also to the community.

Alegria National High School Alegria National High School is
located along the coastal area of Sibunag
facing Negros Province.It is about thirty
(30) kilometres away from the
circumferential road of the national
highway (around Guimaras Island). It is
bounded on the North by Barangay Dasal,
on theSouth by the Islands of Nagarao
and Naoway, on the East by Barangay San
Isidro,and on the West by Barangay San
Antonio, Nueva Valencia. It is 6 kilometres
from the Municipal Hall.
Alegria National High School was
established in 1968 with the collaborative
effeorts of the LGU’s and parents. It was
temporarily closed in the year 1973 due
to financial constraints among parents
because the school was self-supporting.
Luckily again, with the untiring efforts of
the government officials, it was reopened
in 1978 and has survived up to the
present because from a barangay high
school it was converted into a newly
nationalized high school with funds from
the national government. It started with
only one year level in 1982, with 62 first
graduates. The school continued to
produce outstanding graduates but due to
low economic status of the people in the
community only few are entered college
and finished a degree. The school
sometimes encounters various problems
but, with the support of the community, it
-As one of the graduates of the school I
appreciated much the efforts of the
stakeholders in order that the school will
continue to operate and to produce
quality graduates.
-It is very beneficial to the people in the
community because it is very accessible
for them to send their children to school
to acquire quality education.
-As facilitator of learning I will integrate it
in my teaching especially in teaching
Makabayan about the history of the
school.
-Distribute pamphlets to the school
children about the history of the school.
-Conduct a symposium on the history of
the school every opening of classes.
-Assign the pupils to research it from the
people in the community or from the
alumni.

5. still operates smoothly. It was observed
that every year, there is a noticeable
increase in the number of graduates who
enrolled in college.
The school is the farthest secondary
school from the Division Office and with
only few feeder schools but there is an
increase of enrolment every year.
The school is nationally funded and the
Maintenance and Other Operating
Expenses (MOOE) is a great help in the
maintenance and repair of our school
equipment and facilities, as well as the
procurement of our office supplies and
materials.
