“Somos Testigos” 💛☀️
Last May 15, 2026, we experienced a meaningful and unforgettable day during our Recollection and Team Building. This event became more than just a simple gathering because it strengthened our faith, friendship, teamwork, and connection with one another. Through every activity, reflection, and shared moment, we truly became “Somos Testigos” — witnesses of unity, joy, learning, and God’s presence in our lives.
We shared laughter, memories, knowledge, and experiences that brought us closer together as one family. The recollection reminded us to reflect on ourselves, our purpose, and our relationship with God, while the team building activities taught us the importance of trust, cooperation, and supporting one another no matter what challenges come our way.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the facilitators who guided and helped make this event successful and memorable.
Special thanks to Fr. Francisco R. Gan Jr. for your endless support, guidance, and encouragement throughout this meaningful activity. We are truly grateful for your presence and for always supporting the youth and our community.
To our guest speaker, Bro. Joshua Sale, thank you so much for inspiring us through your stories, lessons, and words of encouragement. Your message truly touched our hearts and motivated us to become better individuals and stronger in faith.
And to Rev. Ron Jason Basillio, thank you po for your unexpected visit that brought happiness and inspiration to everyone present. Your presence made the event even more special and memorable.
We would also like to thank our wonderful sponsors for your generosity and support. Because of your kindness, this event became possible and successful. Your help and contributions are deeply appreciated by all of us.
Special thanks as well to Ate Bang’s family for welcoming and helping us in cooking and preparing our food. Thank you for your kindness, effort, and support that made everyone feel cared for and at home during the activity.
