Tanglaw University Center welcomed the new academic year with a bang through the following activities:

July 11. Rediscovering Rizal Dr. Yvette Camacho from the History Department of University of Asia and the Pacific shared her expertise on our national hero’s life and works. She explained the circumstance that Rizal was in when he wrote his two great novels- Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. According to her, equipped with this knowledge, we would understand better and appreciate more the novels. This get-together with Dr. Camacho was in commemoration of Rizal’s 150th birth anniversary last June 19, 2011.

June 25. Saint of the ordinary Video clips on the life and teachings of St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, were shown to a group of students. This was in connection with his feast last June 26. On that same day, a good number of the students have attended the mass in his honor at the Manila cathedral. The clips include St. Josemaria’s teaching on the sanctity of ordinary life by doing one’s work well and offering it up to God, a brief history of the growth of Opus Dei and a glimpse on the saint’s heroism during the Spanish Civil War(1936-1939).

Less than two months before WYD, visas already arrived… and we are just few inches from conquering Madrid!

Hence preparations for WYD are really tolling up. One of which was on June 4, we went around Intramuros for a long walk in order to prepare ourselves for the much anticipated heat and a lot of walking in Madrid. With the ambiance of Old Spanish style sprawling around Intramuros, walking around the walled city gave us a peak of a mini- Spanish town. Amidst the heat, we enjoyed every bit of the walk as we discovered the essence of Intramuros in our country’s history.

In few weeks, we would be gearing up for another long walk, and this time, in UP!

On Thursday, June 30, an  orientation/sem-started  was held for the female  students who have  expressed interest in joining  ORI (Optional Religious Instructions). The event took place  in the ASTB Hall of  Philippine Science High  School. To start the  program, an ice-breaker was prepared to facilitate the process of acquainting the students with the volunteers. This was followed by a brief welcome speech from Dainty, 3rd year high school, vice-president of SCA. For the main part of the program, Ms. Lorie Anda explained to both students and volunteers the mission of the Small Group Sessions, as well as the various activities that are held throughout the school year. To end the program was an entertainment number from a group of older students. After the program, ice cream was served, and the freshmen and their ORI volunteers were given ample time to get to know one another.
