NOVEMBER 24, 2022 — The induction of the elected students and parent officers from St. Bridget School was conducted at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church.

Here, the officers from the Student Council Organization (SCO), Supreme Student Government (SSG), parent’s council, student and parents homeroom officers, and officers from the different clubs and organization had an oath-taking ceremony. The oath-taking ceremony was conducted so the officers would truly uphold, and defend the responsibilities of the duties presented to them.

Prior the program, the elected officers and the SCO and SSG officers have prepared. In an ambush interview with ILAW, Angela Ishii Ricafranca, SCO Chairperson said, “Leadership is something that should not be used to have power over people, but rather it is used to help the people express themselves and to give them a voice”, when asked about her take on leadership.

Then, a Eucharistic Mass was celebrated and headed by Rev. Fr. Eugene A. Lubigan, the school director. After the mass, the induction was done through an oath-taking ceremony, led by SSG president, Marie Catherine Joy Legacion.

Then right before the end of the program, it was announced that the school director, Rev. Fr. Eugene A. Lubigan is celebrating his birthday on the same day. When asked about his message for the students he said, “As students, you should look out for your teacher and parents so you’ll be guided accordingly”. He also shared a message for our dear parents which is: “I want them to be aware of their greater responsibility, which is their children”
