Rizal Day

A man with so many titles and professions, he became an engineer, a doctor, a teacher and most importantly our country’s National Hero. That man is no other than Dr. Jose P. Rizal he was executed by a firing squad in Bagong Bayan or the Luneta Park as known today.

Just like in the other places in our country, Culion pays a tribute to the death of our national hero every year. This year the program started through a parade leaded by the floats of the Inang Bayan, Theodora Alonzo, Ms. Luzon, Ms. Visayas, Ms. Mindanao and the float of the cast of characters of the reenactment of the death of our national hero. Different Culion organizations joined the celebration, the LCC, CES, BES, CNHS students, LGU, DOH and the Brgy. Officials also joined the parade.

In the end, it is proved that Dr. Rizal’s sacrifices and hardwork is not wasted.

2011 Christmas Reverse Caroling

                 As a tradition of LCC, the school held the 2011 Christmas Reverse Caroling. Every year, the school organizes an event whereas youth volunteers      gather donation of clothes, canned goods, toys and money for indigenous communities.

And this year’s caroling was a success, as successful as the previous ones held. It was made possible through the combined efforts of more organizations that participated in the event. Several individuals also showed their generous hearts through their moral and financial support.

As expected, the number of indigenous people that arrived mounted up than the last years. It’s a good thing that the volunteers and donations also grew, enabling us to pack a good deal of rice, clothes and toys in plastics bags. We have also prepared snacks of pancit and juice for them, candies and goodies for the children.
