“The school’s cultural show has gained momentum over the years and for this year’s show, we are seeing over 20 singsing groups which shows that students still value their culture despite the influence of technology among our young people” said Fr Macatangay.

Meanwhile it is understood that the funds raised by the cultural show will go towards the school projects planned for this year (2016).
