White Team whips The Eight Team Colors,
champions Kasaulogan 2016
Aubrey Dorothy Macas
As the institution commemorates its more than
a hundred years of existence on December,
2016, it marks an indeed indelible event to the Michaelite
Community. With numerous fun-filled events that touched the
interest of the participants, exciting twists and unexpected
guests, the event turned out to be a bombastic one. Bet that
most of the Michaelites were shocked and a little bit confused
with the fact that this kind of activity would be participated by
color teams composed of mixed colleges headed by different
dynamic color team masters.
Many did great and gave their very best performance
to different events from sports, cultural, brain challenge to
never-seen affairs but one team would be only recognized
as to be the best among the rest and that is the White Team,
they made it to the top! It would never be promising without
the supervision of Mrs. Pia Sison, the White Team Master.
Religious Activities were continually observed during
the Kasaulogan2016 Celebration
Traditionally, the community gives praise to the
observance of the highest form of prayer which is the Holy
Eucharist. Prior to every day’s event, it has always begun with
the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
Moreover, as the commencement happens every
December, the institution also pays honor to the Blessed
Virgin Mother through Dawn Rosary around the city of
Iligan on the 8th. Although previously, December 7, 2016,
at around 6PM the city had its safety issues with regards to
the bomb explosion near the City Public Plaza. But, the so
called “threat” of the city’s safety was never considered as a
hindrance to those who are faithful. Thus, the Dawn Rosary
was, still, successfully observed although there was a change
in the route of the procession.
The neighboring schools of the Michaelite community
joined the activities in 101st Founding Years of St. Michael’s
College. They actively participated in literary, cultural and
sports. The whole SMC Family was so grateful for their
positive response to the invitation. Having this kind of activity
would show oneness among the youth of Iligan.
Alumni Corner: Continuing living its legacy of Humble
Service
As one of the core values, activities related to service
would be impossibly left behind more especially during the
founding celebration of the dearest alma mater of our Alumni.
This year’s alumni homecoming has the theme
“Michaelite Learns to Rock”. The touch of late 80s were their
choice of music and wardrobe.
