It is a privilege to present our annual report to you. We have had another incredible year of Change Agent Magic - contributing our special puzzle piece to crime prevention and diversion in our beautiful South Africa.
It moves my soul to experience how those we journey with allow themselves the experience of awakening to more of themselves and a deeper sense of purpose. I often say to our students:
>>Do not underestimate the ripple of your awakening<<
We experience its heartwarming impact on how we live and (un)learn together. A living and (un)learning that is authentic and kind… that is generous… that is honest and transparent… that stretches and encourages… that heals our wounds and edits our old stories. It is a living and (un)learning that allows the student their own unique path… also the tough patches! There is nothing more liberating than >>walking the plank<< of a perception!
Come with me. Experience the unique unfolding of a Change Agent Journey. Students awakening to their inner coach, healer and guide and firing up their entrepreneurial spirit all while assisting and guiding others to do the same.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
1. CHSM has its 9th PRESIDENT
Investitures are part of a )me-honored
academic tradi)on. As in planning for any
event, the choice of a date is a major
considera)ons… Indeed, what day can be
more fi?ng for holding an inves)ture of a
school president than September 14, the
Feast of the Exalta)on of the Cross, which
commemorates the total surrender of Jesus
to death by crucifixion?
It was through His crucifixion that Jesus was
glorified and exalted, because He redeemed
humankind. I see the cross as the greatest
expression of God’s love for humanity.
This inves)ture is more than just a ceremony
to install me as the ninth president of this
school… is a celebra)on of the CHSM as an
ins)tu)on, of the eight presidents who served
before me… of contribu)ons of all the other
members of our academic community.
Educa)on is essen)ally an instrument for the
search of truth and the genera)on of new
knowledge. The vital task of schools is to
enable their students to discover the truth.
Bishop Olmsted’s ideal, however, does not
simply describe the essence of a CHS
educa)on. It defines the raison d’etre of the
Sister Servants of the Holy Spirit. I invite you
to celebrate as well the presence of the Holy
Spirit Sisters, par)cularly the Sisters’ Commu-
nity in CHSM, who have demonstrated their
resilience in transcending the period that was
characterized by a crisis of truth as they
endeavored to fulfill their mission borne out
of love.
TRUTH IN MISSION: TEACHING, RESEARCH
AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, the
fundamental func)ons of a Catholic
educa)onal ins)tu)on
Veritas in
Caritate.
“The Truth
who is
Christ died
out of
Love.”
Excerpts from Dr. Jesusa Marco’s message
at her InvesMture as CHSM’s President
Research. Knowledge in itself is dynamic and
vibrant, but only to the extent that we allow it to
be. Research opens doors to possibili)es, and is
capable of defying the impossible. This potent
tool can enrich the teaching and learning
experiences of our faculty and students.
Community Service. Teaching-learning and the
research exercise should feed into community
service. A school can never exist in isola)on from
the larger community.

Teaching. As an educa)onal ins)tu)on, we are expected to create learning

2. Message
from the President
Greetings! I am honored to serve
in the Alumni Board and I am grateful
that you have given us the support
and coopera)on to help us achieve
our goals. Primary among these goals
is to unite the alumni and support the
Holy Spirit Alumnae Management
Corpora)on (HSAMC) in areas that can
help revive CHSM. Since the start of
their term in May 2016 the HSAMC
has been working hard to create new
areas in curriculum, relevant and
meaningful to the demands of the
)me. They have restored, improved
and beau)fied the campus, upgraded
the facili)es as well as developed and
inspired the administra)ve staff and
teachers with their enthusiasm and
hard work. CHSAF celebrates these
achievements and supports the
HSAMC.
CHSAF now endeavors to raise public
awareness of CHSM, to grow its
membership base, to ini)ate and
develop fundraising opportuni)es and
to promote exci)ng ac)vi)es and
events where all alumnae could bond
and par)cipate.
Everyone is enjoined to take ac)ve
part in projects and events to help
raise funds and support the
development plans of HSAMC. With
the implementa)on of the K-12
program CHSM faces challenges
where its sustainability will greatly
depend on the alumnae support.
Let us all help in reviving CHSM by
marke)ng CHSM, dona)ng to the
scholarship funds, invi)ng a qualified
personnel to apply to CHSM, and
volunteering our talents to mentor
and teach at CHSM.
Suppor)ng CHSAF guarantees
con)nued success for our students
and for CHSM. CHSAF wants to reach
out and connect with you no mafer
where you are.

Daisy Villasis-Montesa
President, CHSAF Board of Trustees
FROM YOUR ALUMNAE BOARD FROM THE ALUMNAE BOARD
Let us work together,
complement each other’s
strengths, capitalize on what we
are good at, and be open to that
constant force called “change”.
We need to make CHSM
relevant to contemporary Mmes.
I may have my hands on the
steering wheel, but I need each
and every member in this
community, to co-navigate with
me and be vigilant with respect to
the slightest of challenge that we
may meet along our journey. As an
educa)onal ins)tu)on, we are
tasked to pursue the truth in all
aspects. Today, I commit myself to
lead you in this noble task.
I am humbled and privileged for the
grace of stewardship. As your
servant-leader, I reaffirm my pledge
to be faithful to the pursuit of truth
and to serve the truth in love.

THE IMPERATIVES IN THIS
CRITICAL TIME
I n i t s 1 0 3 y e a r s , t h e
congrega)on’s mission has been
the compass that kept the CHS
schools on course. I am prefy
sure that my predecessors would
agree with me that even with a
well-defined mission, the
naviga)on can be riddled with
difficul)es.
With the transi)on to a total lay
management, CHSM is facing a
cri)cal )me and stage when our
decisions, responses, and ac)ons
may well define how we are
recrea)ng its future.
It is true that the challenges
are… daun)ng to ignore. But
they are
NOT INSURMOUNTABLE.
TOGETHER WE CAN HURDLE
them.
In the past year, I spent much of
my )me consul)ng, listening to,
and collabora)ng with the
different sectors, and taking
ac)on on various mafers and
concerns. What I realized in the
process is that in governance,
there are NO lifle or pefy
mafers; EVERYTHING and
EVERYONE MATTERS in this task
of leading an ins)tu)on.

5. CHSAF Meets with the Scholars
In the a^ernoon of Saturday, July 9, 2016
college and high school scholars gathered with
their parents for a mee)ng with the CHSAF board
members and the signing of the Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) for 2016-2017. The CHSAF
board members present were Daisy V. Montesa
HS-68/BS Chem-73, Mildred D. Romero BSC-81,
Ma. Luz Gabriel HS-72/BSC-76, and Rosemarie M.
Lim HS-74.
The mee)ng started with the self introduc)on
of the board members. The audience was
impressed by the persuasive mo)va)on given by
Rosemarie to develop their talents to become
successful entrepreneurs. Then Mildred
presented and explained the MOA and
emphasized the clauses newly added to the MOA.
The following addi)onal clauses ask the scholars to:
1. consider to make herself/himself available to work for
CHSM or CHSAF for at least one year from gradua)on,
2. be morally bound to enroll in CHSM college
department if the courses of their choice are available,
3. promote CHSM and endeavor to recruit students, and
4. support CHSAF and ac)vely par)cipate in all its
ac)vi)es.
The session was followed by comments from the students
and parents who expressed their gra)tude for their
scholarships. CHSAF wishes to convey their gra)tude to all
their sponsors. Parents offered their help whenever CHSAF
needs a helping hand. A^er the session was a short break
when everybody moved to the hall under the chapel for
snacks.
The session centered on Proper CommunicaMon as an
important tool to understand and be understood by
parents, friends and peers. There is always a proper
way to communicate, in speech and in body language.
Also central to proper communica)on is giving respect
and se?ng of boundaries.
Part of the )me was spent on ‘role-playing’ which
gave the students prac)cal applica)on of what they
had just learned. The JeriCHS will con)nue to give
relevant spiritual and career-enhancing talks with the
inten)on of preparing the scholars for their
compe))ve careers a^er school.
A^er the snacks, the scholars returned
for another kind of session - the first
of the JeriCHS-sponsored seminars for
the school year, the Talakayan
The session was conducted by Nilda
Tempongco, a JeriCHS from St.
Theresa’s College of Cebu. The other
”nasa-bayan” JeriCHS who made the
session possible were Tita M. Sicat,
Cynthia L. Picazo, Yola M. Albano,
Rebecca S. Sacdalan and Tita Dizon.

6. Right a^er gradua)on, every student is busy looking
for a school which they think would nurture and give
them the appropriate knowledge that they need in
prepara)on for their future endeavors.
As I was searching for the best school for me, fate gave
me the chance to know the College of the Holy Spirit
Manila. Concerned people said that I should take the
opportunity to study there but I had hesita)ons. I
didn’t think that my parents could afford to send me
to CHSM, a private school. But God is so kind.
Despite the number of schools who offered me
scholarships and other privileges, I chose CHSM and
have never regrefed that decision. The College of the
Holy Spirit Alumni Founda)on granted me a
scholarship which covered full payment of my tui)on

GOD is so kind…
and miscellaneous fees. I wouldn’t have been able
to study in this good school otherwise. It was a
relief for my family that I could study in a private
school without giving them too much burden. They
saw how I became more intrinsically developed.
My scholarship never limits me to do and
experience all the things that other students could
experience too. I am very thankful and will not
forget all the people who helped me achieve
something invaluable.
The scholarship granted to me provides me quality
educa)on, and at the same )me, gives me
opportuni)es to know more about myself. But I
will be more thankful to the persons behind my
successful ingress in this school.
Located at the Mother Josepha Building ( formerly high school building ) of
the CHSM is an original artwork called “Jesus with Children.” The Maestro,
Fernando Amorsolo, created the stained glass design in 1931 for the school he
entrusted his daughters to study.
A limited number of plates were made in commemora)on of the CHSM Centennial. The few
remaining plates are now available at a discounted price while supply lasts. Price is
P1,000.00 each plus shipping and handling. The plate is 10.5 “ x 10.5” in size and comes
with a Cer)ficate of Authen)city.

GIFTS OF GOOD TASTE
Frieda Colet Lim, HS Class 1969
Filipino Christmas will soon be here and the excitement for the season increases as we enter the
‘ber’ months. Though it’s a holiday celebrated in all corners of the world, some traditions are
uniquely Filipino. The Simbang Gabi, the Noche Buena, Kris Kringle, and of course the ever so
long Christmas gift list!
While this may seem daunting, it has been part of the hospitable generous heart of the Filipinos.
Edible gifts are always a favorite. Everyone appreciates a homemade gift that can simply be
prepared and eaten. Whether it is store bought or thoughtfully prepared by you, one can’t go
wrong with them. They are perfect for everything from hostess gifts, to gift for the in laws, to gifts
for your best friends. With some creativity and care, any present can be made a beautiful offering
using inexpensive materials.
My homemade bottled Pomodoro Sauce is a very convenient gift I give to a friend’s birthday, my
dinner host, or a family for Christmas. You can also do this with store bought bottled goodies for
convenience. I simply cover the cap with a wrapping paper or a printed paper napkin tied with a
red string. I print out the label and sketched a red tomato for color. Sometimes, I add a recipe
on the many ways to use the sauce.

Filipino Christmas will soon be here and the excitement for the season increases as we enter the ‘ber’
months. Though it’s a holiday celebrated in all corners of the world, some tradi)ons are uniquely Filipino.
The Simbang Gabi, the Noche Buena, Kris Kringle, and of course the ever so long Christmas gi^ list!
While this may seem daun)ng, it has been part of the hospitable generous heart of the Filipinos. Edible gi^s
are always a favorite. Everyone appreciates a, homemade gi^ that can simply be prepared and eaten.
Whether it is store bought or though{ully prepared by you, one can’t go wrong with them. They are perfect
for everything from hostess gi^s, to gi^s for the in-laws, to gi^s for your best friends. With some crea)vity
and care, any present can be made a beau)ful offering using inexpensive materials.

Typhoon Yolanda – considered among the
world’s strongest typhoons, hit Tacloban, Leyte in
November 2013. Yolanda’s fury resulted in a great
number of casual)es, missing locals, massive
destruc)on of proper)es, total power outage, etc.
That same week, I was tasked by PAL to take
delivery of a brand new A321 aircra^, fresh from
the Airbus manufacturing facility at Finkenwerder,
Hamburg, Germany. I started my trip to Hamburg
from Manila onboard KLM with stops in Taipei and
Amsterdam.
TV monitors in airport hallways and pre-departure
areas showed the Tacloban situa)on and the
extent of the disaster. Requests for dona)ons
were broadcast round-the-clock. The whole world
was focused on Tacloban.
On my first day in Hamburg, the PAL head office
sent instruc)ons to assist 10 German volunteer
medics with loads of medical supplies and relief
goods. Addi)onally, Airbus asked permission to
load boxes of dry goods in the cabin overhead bins
since the aircra^’s cargo compartment was full of
medical supplies & equipment.
And so it was arranged. The usual 10-man aircra^
delivery ferry flight team was doubled with the
inclusion of the 10 German medics. The group from
Humedica Interna)onale was headed by Wolfgang
Gross, the tall white bearded Execu)ve Director. They
would be met in Manila by representa)ves from the
German embassy prior to their onward flight to
Tacloban to conduct a much needed medical mission.
Epilogue: A few days a^er arrival, the German
Embassy asked PAL’s assistance to accommodate
Wolfgang Gross’s flight out of Tacloban and back to
Manila and that the German Embassy will take care of
Mr. Gross’s onward flight to Munich, Germany.
The reason: Mr. Wolfgang Gross was scheduled to
receive Germany’s Presiden)al Award.
The PAL A321 ferry flight of November 2013 had a VIP
onboard and it was a privilege to have been on that
same flight.
I have joined many aircra^ delivery ferry flights but
this ferry flight of November 2013 was very even{ul
and very fulfilling for me, having had the chance to
somehow be a part of the humanitarian mission that
was sent off from Germany to Tacloban.

Aircraft Acquisition
Aircraft Delivery
(fresh from an aircra^ manufacturer facility)
The assembly of a (jet) aircra^ usually takes about
four (4) months. The airline sends an aircra^ engineer
a month before the aircra^ is fully assembled. This
phase is called Flight Assembly Line (FAL). The
engineer ensures that the aircra^ conforms to all
technical specifica)ons and reviews all technical and
quality documents and ensures its completeness.
A week before the aircra^ transfer of )tle, the airline
sends a management pilot or a chief pilot to perform
acceptance test flight. This is done in coordina)on
with the aircra^ manufacturer's test pilot. During the
acceptance test flight, sta)c checks are performed as
well as valida)ng func)onality of the aircra^ systems.
An acceptance test flight dura)on is about four (4)
hours and the pilots follow a test flight profile. If there
are discrepancies, these are called test flight remarks.
These flight remarks are, of course, to be corrected
and rec)fied prior to aircra^ acceptance.
Also during that week, a representa)ve from Civil
Avia)on Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) is sent
onsite to observe the whole acceptance and delivery
process in line with the CAAP's issuance of the
Cer)ficate of Airworthiness and Cer)ficate of
Registra)on.
Once an aircra^ is declared airworthy and technically
acceptable, transfer of )tle occurs and the aircra^ is
turned over to the purchaser/operator.
The aircra^ delivery ferry flight team usually consists
of the following: Pilot and First Officer (depends on
the rou)ng if needed addi)onal set/s), Technical
Representa)ve, Maintenance and Avionics Mechanic,
Commercial/Legal Representa)ve, and CAAP
Representa)ve.
In the airline industry, determining which
aircra^ type and the choice of aircra^
manufacturer are two essen)al factors for an
airline to achieve opera)onal targets and
profitability.
1. Domes)c/Interna)onal Routes - des)na)ons
to fly including airport/runway capability
2. Market Outlook - travel growth in the region
3. Aircra^ configura)on and load capability
including in-flight service
4. Aircra^ fuel efficiency and conserva)on
5. Aircra^ environment friendly - noise and air
pollu)on, at a minimum
6. Maintenance costs
7. Spare parts commonality and availability
8. Over-all safety performance and technology
We have global aircra^ manufacturers like Boeing
and Airbus for the jets and Bombardier, Embraer,
ATR France for the light and turbo propeller
aircra^. Choice of the aircra^ manufacturer
depends on the fleet determined by an airline,
including cost factor and reliability.
In choosing an aircra^, considered are the following:

“Why do smart people enjoy saying they are bad at
math?” laments Petra Bonfert-Taylor, a professor of
engineering at Dartmouth College.
After seeing too many adults “passing on math
anxiety like a virus,” she has this to say: “We are
passing on the phobia for mathematics... as a
result, many have lost the ability to examine a
real-world problem, translate it into numbers,
solve the problem and interpret the solution.”
“What is required is perseverance, a willingness
to take risks and feeling safe to make mistakes.”
An aspiring senator, a congressman, a city
councilor, a Chinese housewife thrust into the helm of
a mul)million peso business when her husband/CEO
succumbed to a heart afack, medical students, nurses,
engineers, flight stewardesses, homemakers, young
entrepreneurs, IT managers, finance specialists, sales
execu)ves, a couturier, a seafarer, college students,
adolescents, and pre-teens. They compose the motley
batch of students I have had either in my English
Proficiency and Business Wri)ng workshops or in my
classes as a language facilitator of a personality
development center. Albeit from different
backgrounds, all have punctuated my years of teaching
with indelible remembrances.
A majority of these enrollees are degree holders. Some
did not finish high school because of a disadvantaged
past, but have since experienced a change in their
circumstance. They have similarly stood at the cusp of
a career change, a poli)cal challenge or a personal
discovery. In pursuit of individual objec)ves, they have
realized, too, that an improvement of communica)on
skills, in general, and a firmer grasp of English, in
par)cular, would work to their favor.
For over a decade, I have assisted my students through a
renewed study of the basic language skills of listening,
speaking, reading, and wri)ng. Grammar review,
vocabulary buildup, dialectal pronuncia)on, idioma)c
expression and other mechanics of English have been
major areas of concern. I have tried to effec)vely address
fossilized mistakes about the nify-grify subject-verb
agreement, verb tenses, and preposi)on use, among
others, vis-a-vis a language that not only has different
registers but which also con)nuously evolves. To say that
my objec)ve is purely pedan)c and that the task becomes
tedious at )mes is inaccurate.
What galvanizes me to pursue teaching even in my
re)rement? What has inspired me to follow in the
footsteps of Miss Flores and Miss Severino, beloved CHS
mentors who had ins)lled in me the love for words?
Simply put, it is the wonder and enjoyment in training.
Every interac)ve session rewards me with the opportunity
to progress from my students' reality, and them, to profit
from mine. Within the English bubble, we get to share
myriad experiences, mo)vate one another, and expand
our worlds beyond our years. All these we do in an
atmosphere of fun, realizing fully that each of our lives is
an intrinsically beau)ful story wai)ng to be wrifen.

As I reflect on my life nowadays, I
feel grateful that God has given me the
gi^ and voca)on of teaching.
It’s almost unbelievable that I have
been teaching for more than 50 years
now. I started teaching in 1964 at the
College of the Holy Spirit, Tarlac where
I taught for nearly 30 years and later,
since 1989, I have been teaching at the
Our Lady of Peace College Seminary,
our diocesan seminary here in Tarlac.
I thank CHSM for giving me my degrees
AB-BSE in 1963 and 1964, major in
History and Biology, minor in English
and Mathema)cs. I also thank the Holy
Spirit for guiding and sustaining me all
these years in my teaching career.
I have taught various subjects but in
the seminary I have been teaching
English subjects. Teaching in the
seminary is volunteer work, which
means that we are not given
monetary compensa)on. Yet God
cannot be outdone in generosity. I
con)nually experience His Divine
Providence, bestowing on us many
benefits and favors. He provides for
all the needs of my family. It is also
heartwarming to know that I have
been part of the forma)on of many
priests in our diocese.
I thank God for this life)me work of
teaching. It is a great blessing and a
privilege. As I become a blessing to
others, I am also blessed.

If I am s)ll in the field of Educa)on while my
classmates and group mates from CHS have long
re)red, I owe it to my innate passion for teaching
and the people whose philosophies have formed me
– Dr. Isabel Hizon of CHS and Dr. Josefina Cortes of
the UP Graduate School, College of Educa)on. They
taught me commitment in my profession, genuine
interest and personal concern for my students.
I have handled Educa)on students whose socio-
economic status were extremes – the very affluent
and the marginalized sectors of society; the “Haves”
and the “Have nots”, so to say. Nevertheless, their
common denominator is they are lovable and their
desire to be TEACHERS!
Several years ago, a^er a long stay in an exclusive
private school and a university as dean or
administrator, the Lord led me to teach in the
undergraduate department of a state university.
The students are almost all scholars because of the
very low tui)on fees. I handled three Sophomore
classes taking Educa)on, Major in Elementary
Educa)on, General Science and Music Educa)on. I
taught them an interes)ng but dreaded subject –
Theories of Learning. The common method of
teaching in almost all the classes was the use of
powerpoint presenta)on in repor)ng. However,
due to the big popula)on of the University, it could
not provide all the classes with LCDs and therefore,
the students had to rent at a cost of P100 per hour.

I was not sensi)ve to this un)l the )me I required my
classes to watch a cultural show at P150 per )cket.
Some students said they would not be able join. To
show my disappointment, I said, “Class, come on, when
you go to Jollibee or Mc Do, you spend more than P150
and as teachers-to-be, you need this exposure.” In
A^er the first semester, they were done with me.
Christmas was approaching . The Holy Spirit inspired me
to raise funds for the LCD. We would go caroling! The
idea was presented to the Music Educa)on Majors who
were full of excitement and enthusiasm. Their
ques)ons then were, “who do we carol, and where?” I
would organize everything, their only role would be to
prac)se and to deliver.
Lefers were sent to neighbors and friends in New
Manila, sta)ng the purpose of the caroling. They all
responded posi)vely. I was touched when one of them
asked for the price of the equipment. The following day
she gave me a check for half the amount of the LCD. I
am proud to say she is a CHS college alumna.
The caroling ended. An accoun)ng was done. The funds
raised exceeded our expecta)ons. They had P10K extra
which they decided would go to the future repairs of
the LCD and to their class funds. I suggested to rent out
the equipment to the other classes at 50% discount.
This experience became very meaningful:
a) it enabled them to buy the LCD they needed
badly, no more financial worries when repor)ng,
b) it taught them lessons which they would not learn
in the classroom
c) the value of prac)ce, sacrifice and teamwork
d) the discovery of the strengths and weaknesses of
each other and above all,
e) it developed their self-confidence and raised their
self esteem realizing the power of their God-given
gi^ – MUSIC.
Up to now , these students s)ll get in touch with me to
invite me to their concerts or just to say hello.
Is teaching a mission?
Absolutely, and an APOSTOLATE !
The day of the caroling came. To my surprise, they gave
a mini concert in each house we went to. The choice of
the songs, the blending of voices, the volume…
they were AWESOME! Though only Sophomores, they
sounded like professionals! My friends suggested that
they hold a concert. I was overwhelmed with joy! I was
beaming with pride!

unison, the class cried, “Mam, we don’t go to
Jollibee nor McDo. Our budget for our meal is only
P25; P20 for the ulam and P5 for the rice. P150 is a
big cut from our allowance!” I was stunned!
Later, I learned that majority of my students live in
slum areas, have 8-10 siblings, some parents are
jobless, sick or separated. The girls do laundry and
house work for some people while the boys did
janitorial work a^er class or worked as waiters to
earn their pamasahe and meal allowance for the
week. To afford the LCD rental, they borrowed
from classmates or at )mes, skipped their lunch.
My heart sank! I was disturbed. How could I help
them? Should I donate an LCD? But if I give to
one , I should give to all three classes. No, they
should work for it.

Having had the best teachers was what made
me a teacher.
The main event in school for me was recess, the slide,
the swing, the basketball court and the soccer-
baseball-so^ball games. School for me was laughter
and play. Yet, there was no escaping learning in Holy
Ghost College.
From Grade One, order among squiggly lifle girls was
installed by Sr. Carencia: “How would you like to see
the world from inside that wastebasket?”
But love was always the basis for discipline. We
breathed a certain gentleness and gladness in the
classrooms, along the stairs and corridors of our
building with stained glass windows. Kindness was
natural. A^er class, our Grade Three teacher, Miss
Noemi Xavier, sat on the steps and waited with
anxious lifle girls for their “sundo”. In High School,
the worst our class teacher Sr. Humilis SSpS, called us
was “disappoin)ng.” A thumb tack was found on a
temporary History Teacher’s chair. Sr. Humilis floated
into our classroom; in her so^ voice and tone, she told
us she could not believe we were capable of such an
unkind act. Shedding tears, she asked us what she was
doing wrong. Finally, we learned respect and
considera)on, especially for teachers.
Understanding the madness of adolescence, the
young Miss Teresita Nitorreda offered friendship and
pa)ence to awkward child-adults. Our indifference to
the laws of gravity and physics turned into fascina)on
for science and nature as she shared her love of the
wonders of the universe.
FEATURES : T E A C H
It was this mastery of the subject mafer of our
teachers that educated us. Who can forget the
poised Miss Roberta Santos, chalk in hand by the
blackboard, demonstra)ng the basic rules of
grammar and sentence construc)on through
diagramming? Miss Asuncion Palenzuela, also
impeccably groomed and in high heels, daily
paraded teaching models of eyes, ears and different
body parts as well as posters magnifying invisible
cells so that we could not but learn biology.
From a childhood of play, I was primed to study
medicine. The different teachers in Holy Ghost
College were living examples of the nobility of
teaching. I wanted to be like them!
As a teacher myself, I used the tools and techniques
of the excellent teachers in our school. But the main
event was always the vocaMon that was teaching—
serious commitment and plain hard work. Aside
from the wonder of learning and the fascinaMon
with knowledge, teaching is simply earnest and
sincere loving of students.
We
possessed
neither the
language
nor the
maturity to
recognize
the love
offered to
us, but we
absorbed it.!
Dr. Isabel Hizon was indeed the
teacher of teachers. Speaking
intensely but in a near whisper, she
drew her students into a world of
the mind. How are ancient
civiliza)ons related to us in our
modern )me? Why and how? She
pa)ently probed the student to
think un)l the student herself
arrived at the answer. Yet, the
classroom exchange was as natural
and as exci)ng as casual
conversa)on. I learned how
language became literary and how
we ourselves are actors of history.

According to Ma. Theresa Abeleda-Llave, President of
HSAMC, the decision was made because of the sisters
wish to be not involved in opera)ons anymore.
"It is s)ll owned by the Sisters but they want to
disengage because they are ge?ng old," said Llave.
"Besides, there are not many newcomers joining the
order. Par)cularly, the sisters," Llave added.
According to Mascenon, the decision took about 3
years before it materialized. The head chapter of the
Holy Spirit Sisters in Rome has to approve the change in
management. However, Llave clarified that they are not
running the school independent from the Sisters. They
consult with them from )me to )me.
"The difference now is that there is more involvement
of the students, the faculty and the public," she said.
Home to about 1,000 students, College of the Holy Spirit
Manila currently offers Kindergarten, Grades 1 to 3,

"We can start with a class of 5 up to 30. If it exceeds, we
will create another class. We're as flexible as that. We
will start even with a small class," the director added.
The first batch of students are 5 Holy Spirit sisters, to be
taught English language courses. According to
Mascenon, the center will offer other courses apart
from language and social enterprise if there is a
demand for it.
New Management
Established in 1913, the university has been run by the
Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit. More
than a century a^er, a new management takes over.
College of the Holy Spirit Manila is now
managed by the Holy Spirit Alumni
Management Corpora)on (HSAMC), composed
of 14 alumnae and one non-alumnae who is
well-recognized in the educa)on field.
With the new management, several changes are
to be expected said Marco. It starts with the
launch of the Center for Con)nuing Educa)on,
according to her.
"What changes do we expect? Physical changes.
We will be adding Wi-Fi and facili)es will be
updated," said Guillermina Ong, board member
of the HSAMC.

From: Ma. Victorina Tamayo-Cuello (HS-81),
Minchbury, Australia, July 12/16
Thank you for the July 2016 Issue of the College of the
Holy Spirit Newslefer. I thoroughly enjoyed reading
it! It brought back fond memories of my elementary
and high school years. Un)l then I did not feel the
need to collaborate with my fellow alumni sisters.
Now I would like to connect with them. I am so proud
of my fellow alumni and all their achievements.
I feel that I owe whatever blessings and
achievements I have now to the fact that my
forma)ve years growing up was at the College of
the Holy Spirit. I have my dear mother to thank
for making sure I was sent to the best catholic
school in Manila.
I belong to HS-81 and I would like to find out if
our batch is holding any reunion? I would very
much like to afend if there is.
