department. The program was made successful without our Master of Ceremony, Mr. Olosan.

Students enjoyed having their lunch at school while they prepare for their field
demonstrations per section. At exactly 1 o’clock the competition started starting off with the Grade
7 performing Dance evolution, Grade 8 with Ball Room Dancing, Third Years with Folk Dance

BODY:

“Revitalizing our Culture for a Greater Foundation”The theme of the 4th anniversary of
Pinsao National High School encapsulates the institution’s 4 years of empowering and
transforming their students into valuable citizens of society. PNHS celebrated their 4th foundation
day last December 10, 2013 with a spectacle as they welcome the year-long celebration.
 The event began with a Eucharistic celebration. After the mass, the unveiling of the
teachers and staffs talent took place. Entering with enthusiasm and powerful movements, the
practice teachers from Saint Louise University captured the audience’s attention as they danced to
the impressive rhythmic beats of the most played songs and the most famous dance steps of that
year. Nearing the end of their performance, PNHS administrators and School representatives were
called on stage to unveil the logo. Students cheered and applauded as the cloth was unveiled,
exposing the 3-V logo.

During the program, School Principal Edward C. Vicente welcomed the students, alumni
and guests to the school’s achievement. Engineer Joseph Cabato, inspired the audience that PNHS
is “only getting younger” and calls to use this vigor in continuing to inspire and in making a
difference. The emcee, got the students excited as she explained the activities for the yearly
celebration. Keeping the spirits high, the teachers of the Mapeh Department and English
Department, serenaded the audience.

The second half of the day, the students were given a treat as their wishes were granted
with the activity “It’s Gadget Time!” Students were allowed to bring their gadgets to school with
the primary objective of exercising their responsibility and emphasizing the importance of Media
ethics in the height of the Social Networking Age. The High School students had activities that
exercised both creativity and social-responsibility in a highly technological world.

SUMMARY, RESOLUTION AND CONCLUSION:

With the theme "Revitalizing our Culture for a Greater Foundation" and the Unveiling of
the Marker with Division Supervisors, Dr. Rachel M. Bugtong, PTA officers and the Barangay
Officials of Pinsao Pilot, the Congressman was represented by Mr. Joseph C. Cabato. He
encouraged every student and the community folks on how the culture creates a positive social
environment resulting in greater civic participation. As he expound further, cultural participation
builds bridges across neighborhood, ethnic and class divides in ways that many other forms of
civic engagement do not.
It was indeed a successful celebration, glad and so proud to be part of the Pinsao National
High School family, we vow to do better next year.
