Batch '70 Multi-Purpose Building Blessing and Turnover Ceremony

The formal turnover of the school project was held last Saturday, 10th of December 2005. Members of the Class of ’70 alumni delivered their pledge to their Alma Mater, Olongapo City National High School.



The ceremonies started with the ribbon cutting led by Honorable City Councilor Cynthia Gregorio-Cajudo assisted by the School Principal, Mrs. Helen B. Aggabao, Ed. D.


Engr. Lad Mojica unveiled the marker before all participants and guests all went inside the building led by the officiating priest, Rev. Fr. Bobbie Monge, St. Joseph Parish Priest. The whole building was blessed, coins and candies were tossed and candles were lit.



Rey Toledo, Leonor Dela Cruz and Oscar Baldos hosted the program. Paulino “Paul” Sy-Changco led the Invocation while Dr. Art Mendoza, Jr. delivered the Welcome Address.




Engr. Lad Mojica handed the key to the Multi-Purpose Building to Mrs. Aggabao. This was accepted with gratitude and praise to the members of the Class. She said, “The first and the only set of alumni who had donated a building to the school.”



Lad and Jean Mackay-Mojica also donated their children’s college textbooks to the school, which will serve as references for the students.


Hon. Cynthia Gregorio-Cajudo made a very inspirational message to all and was very much impressed on what the Class has accomplished as students of OCNHS. Members of the Class of ’70 looked back to their roots and delivered their gain. A project no one could have imagined will rise and considered as a legacy to the students and to the school.


Engr. Gene Castro closed the program and catered lunch and pre-Christmas feast from Kong's Restaurant was served afterwards.




The following teachers graced the occasion: Mrs. Belinda Gelacio, Ms. Luz Marty and Mr. Rizalino Cayle. Other guests of the said affair were the OCNHS School Administrative Officers.

Cheers to all Batch ’70 members!
