With the theme “𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘬-𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘨 𝘴𝘢 𝘒𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘪𝘺𝘰𝘴: 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵, 𝘗𝘢𝘨-𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘰𝘥”, we joyfully celebrated 28 years of mission, grace, and community. It was a beautiful day filled with thanksgiving, inspiring messages, and heartfelt performances.
The program began with a welcoming remark from Sr. Sharon Villafranca, CMT, followed by a lively Community Dance. Our Directress, Mrs. Bibiana Reyes, introduced our Guest Speaker, Mrs. Danica Valderrama, a former Miranian scholar, who shared an inspiring message reminding us that true gratitude calls for a response — and that love is always expressed through giving.
Soon followed, our Nursery 1, Nursery 2, and Kinder learners, who delighted everyone with their dance performances, dancing to folksongs.
A highlight of the celebration was the Awarding and Recognition of Benefactors. We are deeply grateful to our benefactors who received the Dedication and Service Awards — Engr. Llave, Mr. and Mrs. Samonte, the Cadiente Family, the Somera Family, and the Lorenzo Family — for your continued generosity and commitment to our shared mission. We also thank the entire PSWDO–Quezon, especially Mrs. Norli Labitigan, for being present and for partnering with us in serving our brothers and sisters in need.
It was then followed by the Mothers of the Center, who also prepared a special dance number, while Mrs. Precy Cabarle offered a song, and Kate Mabulay shared a meaningful poem. We also proudly recognized our Aktibong Nanay and Tatay for their dedicated service and faithful commitment to the Center. Their active involvement is a true witness that love is best expressed through service.
Our preschoolers were likewise honored with the Batang Teresa Mira Award, given to children who embody and reflect the virtues of Sr. Teresa Mira — a beautiful reminder that even at a young age, gratitude, love, and kindness can already shine brightly.
And last but not the least, a dance performance by the CMT Sisters, Board of Directors, staff, and volunteer teachers beautifully reflected our shared spirit of service.
Our sincere thanks to our emcees, Sr. Clarynse Subijano, CMT and Ms. Christine Buma-at. To our BOD President and Vice President, Ma'am Luz Marquez and Dra. Isabel Oliveros, and to everyone who helped make this celebration meaningful and successful.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sr. Teresa and Sr. Veronica, CMT Sisters from Spain, for gracing our celebration with your presence and for your unwavering love and support for the mission.
Thank you as well to Gemini Bakery, our generous neighbors, and all our sponsors who shared their blessings to make this celebration possible.
As we mark 28 years, we are reminded: Gratitude recognizes God’s goodness. Love moves both inward and outward. And the deepest expression of love is service — because service is always for others. Together, let us continue giving back to God’s goodness through gratitude, love, and service — and may we keep building a community where every act of love becomes a gift for others.
