The first and only Philippine Robotics Academy School in Malolos

Reese Oona B. Pascual, a Grade 6 Isidorean, was elected as Secretary of the Provincial Council for the Protection of Children (PCPC) while representing the City of Malolos as its Child Representative during the PCPC Advancing Meaningful Child Participation: Capacity Building and Election of PCPC Child Representatives, held on October 21, 2026, at Francisco Balagtas Hall, Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center, City of Malolos.

Oona's election reflects the trust placed in her potential as a young leader and her commitment to promoting children's rights and welfare. Through her active participation, thoughtful contributions, and willingness to share her perspectives, she demonstrated that young people have meaningful roles to play in conversations and initiatives that directly affect their lives.

The gathering brought together young representatives from cities and municipalities across Bulacan to deepen their understanding of children's rights, strengthen their leadership capacities, and recognize the importance of children's active participation in matters concerning their welfare.

Accompanying and guiding Oona throughout the event was Teacher Brenelli S. Francisco, whose experience as a former youth leader added a meaningful dimension to her guidance and support.

One of the significant moments of the activity was the sharing of ideas and perspectives on child participation. During a discussion, Oona expressed her understanding of a child, saying:
“A child is not just a human being who has been born. We are sheltered with our families and know little about the world around us yet. Therefore, a child is someone who needs to be protected.”

Through Oona's active participation and meaningful contributions, both Isidore de Seville Integrated School and the City of Malolos were well represented. She exemplified the values of an Isidorean by participating with confidence, sharing thoughtful ideas, and embracing an opportunity to serve the wider community.

This opportunity would not have been possible without the support of the Malolos Local Youth Development Office, headed by Mr. Bryan Paulo S. Santiago, City Local Youth Development Officer, and the City Social Welfare and Development Office, headed by Ma'am Lolit Santos. Their commitment to youth empowerment and child welfare has helped create opportunities for young individuals like Oona to participate in meaningful initiatives and take on leadership responsibilities in the community.

Our sincere appreciation also goes to Oona's parents, Mommy Roselyn B. Pascual and Daddy Mark Thomas Pascual, and her sister, Elijah Pascual, for their support, encouragement, and guidance, which continue to nurture her growth and confidence. We likewise thank Teacher Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, and Teacher Ann Marie S. Bartolome, School Administrator, for supporting opportunities that broaden our learners' perspectives beyond the classroom and encourage them to become responsible, compassionate, and socially aware citizens.

Congratulations, Oona, on your election as Secretary of the PCPC!

Mabuhay ang batang Maloleño! Mabuhay ang batang Isidorean! Salamat sa Diyos!

There are moments in a school community when words seem too small to express the gratitude felt in every heart. At Isidore de Seville Integrated School, one such day unfolded in an atmosphere filled with joy, appreciation, and heartfelt celebration as the Isidorean community came together to honor the people who make every learning experience more meaningful.

Led by the Supreme Elementary Learner Government (SELG), together with its adviser, Teacher Christy Rose Umali, the celebration brought together learners from preschool to grade school in a touching tribute to the educators and school personnel who guide, inspire, encourage, and support them each day.
The young learners became the heart of the celebration. Through warm greetings, lively dances, and heartfelt songs, they expressed their appreciation for the teachers who patiently walk with them through every lesson, challenge, discovery, and achievement. Their performances were more than presentations; they were simple yet meaningful expressions of love and gratitude from learners to the people who help shape their young lives.

Serving as the Ladies of Ceremonies for the event were Zamara Louese Lapuz, President of SELG, and Elijah Mari Pascual, Vice President of SELG, who helped lead and facilitate the celebration with grace and enthusiasm.

Adding warmth and significance to the occasion, Mommy Jonah Trinidad, President of the School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA), together with Mommy Heidie Qutuea, represented the school’s parent-partners and shared a sincere message of appreciation for the teaching community.

One message, in particular, resonated deeply throughout the celebration:
“We see you. We appreciate you.”

These simple but powerful words captured the spirit of the occasion. Behind every classroom lesson are teachers who prepare, teach, listen, encourage, and give their best even when no one is watching. Behind every successful school day are administrative personnel who work quietly and faithfully to ensure that the school community continues to move forward.

The message of appreciation was warmly received by Teacher Ann Bartolome, School Administrator; Teacher Archie Gaspar, School Principal; and the entire Isidore teaching community, who shared in the joy of a celebration dedicated to their service and commitment.

Yet, beyond the dances, songs, greetings, and messages, Teachers’ Day served as a deeper reminder of the countless acts of dedication that happen every day.

It is found in every lesson carefully prepared, every encouraging word spoken to every learner, every extra mile taken to help a child succeed, and every quiet sacrifice made in the name of education.

Teaching is more than a profession. It is a calling to nurture young minds, build confidence, inspire dreams, and help learners discover the people they are capable of becoming. In the same way, every member of the school’s administrative team plays an important role in creating an environment where learners and educators become the best versions of themselves everyday.

For the Isidorean community, Teachers’ Day was therefore not simply a celebration, but it was a collective expression of gratitude.

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Laughter, creativity, friendly competition, and shared experiences filled the school as Isidoreans from Preschool to Grade 6 gathered on September 16 and 17 for the Term 1 End-of-Term (EOT) Activities.

The two-day celebration brought together three meaningful themes: Nutrilit, a combination of Buwan ng Wika and Nutrition Week; MathSciTech, combining Mathematics, Science, and ICT Week; and Courage and Calmness in Times of Danger, integrating Values and Community Helpers Week.

The celebration opened at the 2nd Floor Function Hall, with Zamara Louese Lapuz, SELG President, leading the invocation and Elijah Marie Pascual, SELG Vice President, leading the National Anthem. Ms. Marjorie P. Fajardo, Head Teacher, delivered the introductory remarks, while Dr. Arcelita J. Gaspar, School Principal, reminded the learners that education is not only about being academically and cognitively smart, but also about developing qualities that help them become well-rounded individuals. Teacher Merlyn Marie Villanueva, Learner Activity Coordinator, then presented the activities prepared for the celebration.

The learners eagerly participated in various games and activities held in their respective classrooms, where they enjoyed learning, playing, creating, and bonding with their classmates. Each classroom became a lively space for fun and discovery as teachers prepared age-appropriate activities that allowed learners to showcase their creativity, knowledge, teamwork, and talents.

Among the highlights was the offering of flowers to Mama Mary and the praying of the Holy Rosary led by Teacher Princess Bernardo. Learners also enjoyed traditional Kakaning Pinoy, such as suman, bibingka, and kutsinta, reveling in Filipino culture while appreciating the importance of nutrition.

The learners also had the chance to listen to stories with moral lessons presented by "Lola Basyang".

The Intermediate learners showcased their confidence and talent in the Balagtasan Contest, where Grade 6-Babbage was hailed as the champion. Teacher Archie commended the learners for the talents they showcased during the competition, even reciting an impromptu Balagtasan piece.

On the second day, learners explored their creativity through coin bank-making and enjoyed educational games using the Interactive Board at the Robotics Laboratory. Together with the various classroom activities, these experiences brought Mathematics, Science, ICT, values, culture, and practical life lessons to life in engaging ways.

More than an end-of-term activity, the EOT celebration gave Isidoreans a chance to pause from their academic routines, enjoy time with their schoolmates, discover their talents, and create happy memories. As they headed into their wellness break, the learners carried with them the joy of learning and friendship.
