wonderful experience for all of us!

dazzling as possible for this very special occasion.
Ma’am Pearl: Yes, that’s right! It’s really great to see our Juniors and Seniors in their Spanish Latino
outfits. The girls are stunning while the boys are ravishing!
Joemar: Yes, Ma’am Pearl. Obviously, everyone, including us, is prepared for this occasion! I say this
because we also have researched about Spanish expressions that we could also use in our script to suffice
the call of the occasion!
Ma’am Pearl: Yes, that’s right, Jomz. And I am already excited to deliver those Spanish lines!
Both: So, buenas tardes las damas y caballeros!
Joemar: In English, good evening ladies and gentlemen!

Joemar: Please welcome them with a big round of applause!
JS formation
Joemar: Muchas gracias, Juniors and Seniors, for that very tasteful and classy performance.
Ma’am Pearl: I agree Jomz, and I just feel auspicious to see them on one end of the spectrum basking in
such a great presentation. On the other end, I also feel comfortable to see that the seniors will soon be
bidding goodbye to their Alma mater.
Joemar: Seeing them graduate in high school is excitingly inevitable! But before that happens, the seniors
will, of course, hand down all responsibilities conferred on them to the juniors.
Ma’am Pearl: Be that as it may, let us now then move on to the bequeathal ceremonies. May we now
request Carl Angelo D. Elano, president of the Junior Supreme Student Council, and John Joel U. Manalo,
the Junior SSC vice-president external, to turn over the key of responsibility to Cristian David D. Yabut,
the Junior SSC vice-president internal, and Burton B. Yague, the Junior SSC treasurer.

chest a retinue of students performing well in academics.

Ma’am Pearl: Thank you very much to all our students who have been trusted as caretakers of the Book of
Knowledge.
Joemar: We also take pride and honor to claim without bragging that the high school department also
hoards a cache of achievements in various fields of learning.
Ma’am Pearl: That is indeed a humbling fact, Jomz. At this point, may we call on Jeanne Mari L. Julia,
editor in chief of the Junior Perpetualite, and Karl Angelo C. Resurrecion, auditor of the Junior SSC to
turn over the Laurel of Achievement to Jellian Razelle A. Kwok, business manager of the Mathematics
club ,and Nicolyn Angelica H. Sese, managing editor of the Junior Perpetualite.

Ma’am Pearl: Muchas gracias, a todos nuestros estudiantes que son las manifestaciones de vida
Joemar: Thank you very much to all our students who are the living manifestations of our school’s
excellence in quality education.
Ma’am Pearl: I state this with conviction because I have been a witness, too, to the innumerable
achievements that our high school students have added to the school’s collection. With that in mind, I
have high hopes that our Juniors will continue to live up to the legacy that our Seniors will lay down
before them.
Joemar: May we now then request Athena Almira Benedictos, editor in chief of the Junior Perpetualite,

testament. We hope that the Juniors will do the best of their ability to continue to nurture and protect the
will power of the Seniors.
Ma’am Pearl: Yes, I truly believe that with the flicker that they have displayed tonight, the Juniors will
surely not fail us in our expectations. I know that a few years from now, the Seniors will be dominating in
their respective fields of learning in their own right. And speaking of that, let us now move on to the la
lectura dela profecia de clase or the reading of the class prophecy by the following writers of the Junior
Perpetualite: Neil Roy B. Rosales, editorial cartoonist, Shaira Mae R. Flores, sports section editor, Edgar
Maurice G. Bajado, features editor, and Jeanette L. Abunales, layout artist.
Reading of the Class Prophecy
Ma’am Pearl: Muchas gracias, Juniors for that very promising prophecy for our dear Seniors. May you,

Ma’am Pearl: Muchas gracias, interlude dancers for that very awe-inspiring performance! The ladies are
very well-dressed and the gentlemen are also very appealing in their Spanish Latino outfits!

high school office have chosen some of the interlude dancers who would be proclaimed as the Mr. and
Miss Junior and Senior Personalities 2010-2011.
Ma’am Pearl: Yes, that’s right, Jomz. And to present to us the finalists for the search for the Mr. and Miss
Junior and Senior Personalities 2010-2011, may we call on the Chairman of the board of judges….
Joemar: Muchas gracias! Those lads and lasses really deserve to be finalists for the search for the Mr. and
Miss Junior and Senior Personalities 2010-2011.
Ma’am Pearl: Yes, that’s right! And I also think that the other Juniors and Seniors and our fellow teachers
have their own favorites among the finalists. But before the board of judges will finally announce the
winners, let us first suspend their excitement with the traditional cotillion de honor.
Joemar: Por lo tanto, demos la bienvenida con un aplauso a los bailarines cotillion de honor!
Ma’am Pearl: So, let us welcome with a round of applause the cotillion de honor dancers!

K:Good evening, too, Daniella! You look so stunning tonight.
D:Thanks and I can return the favor to you right away for you look so gorgeous in time for this occasion.
K:Well. There are one hundred and one reasons of getting dressed up elegantly and ravishingly tonight.
D:You bet, Kathleen. Tonight is one of the highlights of SVDPA cocurricular events in the pantheon of social
graces & gregariousness!
K:WELCOME TO THE SVDPA JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 2012!
D:The much-awaited social gathering of the junior and senior students of our school as they are poised for
take-off to the world of fashion, fad & craze!
K:Talking about fashion, fad and craze.are you familiar with the red carpet premiere in international
entertainment?
D:Yes, definitely, Kathleen! A red carpet premiere is the meeting of the stellar cast of whatever film genre to
be promoted for initial world screening. Like the red carpet premiere nights held in Universal Studio and the
famous Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The attendees of such gatherings.what a power-house cast ever assembled!
K: Aside from paving the way for world cinema milestones, Red Carpet premiere is also anchored on the
annual international film & television recognition nights from the world renowned award-giving bodies like
Academy Award, Cannes Film Festival, MTV Music Award, Golden Globe Award and many others.

D:And tonight.to suffice the call of the occasion..this years JS Prom is geared towards the Red Carpet Premiere
as our thematic concept.
K:And without further adoto kick the ball rolling, lets paint the town red and roll out the red carpet for the
grand entrance of juniors and seniors as they take a walk of fame.
D:Lets give them a resonating applause!

K: Please remain standing and imbibe among ourselves the virtue of nationalism & patriotism through the
singing of Philippine National Anthem to be conducted by Denise Perez.
National Anthem Denise Perez
D: You may now be seated.
K: Daniella, are you fond of watching red carpet premiere on velvet channel?
D: Yes. One of the most remarkable red carpet premiere nights I have watched was the Moscow Premiere of
the Transformers: Dark of the Moon last June 2011. That event was highlighted by classy entrance of Rosie
Huntington Whiteley with her sought-after Gucci gown. How about you Kathleen? Any favorite actress or
entertainer who graced a certain Red Carpet premiere?
K: I remember the premiere night of the movie, Black Swan held in New York last year. Natalie Portman, the
winner of Academy Award Best Actress, added color to the event through her jaw-dropping and breath-taking
aura & style. She was simply fantastic during that night. Or Megan Fox in promoting Transformers: Revenge
of the Fallen in various countries. Her higher than high slits in all her gowns from Donna Karan to Herve
Leroux, Alberta Ferretti to Roberto Cavalli were strikingly amazing.
D: Very well said Kathleen. You really did your intensive research on that, didnt you? How about the Eclipse
Premiere Nightwhich was a Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner sandwich! And to explain
further the central idea of this evenings soiree, lets all welcome the Communications Officer of the Student
Council, Samantha Camille Espiritu, for her opening remarks.
K: On her way to the red carpet and to the walk of fame, lets give her a resounding applause!Welcome
AddressSamantha Camille Espiritu
D: Thank you very much Sam for your inspiring message to all the attendees tonight. May your words of
wisdom be our moving spirit as we enjoy the night here in the Sulo Hotel. By the way, Kathleen, what do you
think is the essence of this event?
K: Well in my own angle of vision, every JS Prom signifies the celebration of awards and achievements of our
senior students and these legacies should be handed over to the deserving and trustworthy inheritors..who else?
The junior students!
D: Very good! Aside from that, all the scholastic emblems held by seniors for one school year should be
bequeathed to their honorable recipients----those symbols of academic victories, co-curricular triumphs and
team-building upheavals.
K: At this juncture, lets now move on to the bequeathal ceremony.
D: To begin with, may we call in Ingrid Lacambacal & AJ Generoso for the bequeathal of the symbolic
torch.Turn-Over Ceremony Symbolic Torch Ingrid Lacambacal & AJ Genoroso
D: Thank you Ingrid and AJ.our role models of hope & enlightenment. May we request the presence of

classmate Pauline Camerino to come forward and deliver their tasks. Book of Knowledge Daniella Salcedo &
Pauline Camerino
K: To Daniella and Pauline, thank you so much. May you inspire all the Vincentians with your impressive
academic standing and well-balanced study habits.
D: Thank you Kathleen for recognizing our efforts to strive hard for academics. Our turnover ceremony will
not be complete if we dont give stress to a cache of accomplishments of the Student Council in various
programs and projects. Towards the end of this School year, the SC has left no stones unturned in empowering
the student body and in serving the Vincentians in every step of the way.
K:And such odyssey of service and leadership is about to end.to turn the hourglass upside down for the new
breed of student-leaders in the service of the Vincentians. And to make it happen, may we hand in the
microphones to the predecessor and the successor of SVDPA leadership by example.SC President Karl
Abellera and SC Vice President for Internal Affairs Ralph Canoyfor the passing of the golden key of
responsibilities. Lets give them a nice big hand!Key of ResponsibilitiesKarl Vincent Abellera & Ralph Canoy
D: Thank you fellow SC Officers Karl & Ralph. Were more than just halfway for this turnover stuff.
Furthermore, no JS Prom is considered memorable in the absence of candle-lighting ceremony. Such ceremony
symbolizes the hand-over of the candles to the next bearers so as to lead & guide our school and its
stakeholders in reaching their dreams and aspirations.
K: The flame atop of every paraffin elucidates the road to success of the outgoing seniors in the next chapter of
their academic career. At this point, lets move onward and go forward to the Candle-Lighting Ceremony. We
would like to call in the selected juniors & seniors to be led by Leonor Artillaga & Victoria Ilagan for the said
ceremony. Lets give them a warm round of applause. Candle-Lighting Ceremony Leonor Artillaga & Victoria
Ilagan
D: Thank you guys for participating in that ceremony. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will be
successful in whatever chosen field to be undertaken in the near future.
K: And to my fellow juniors or should I say incoming seniors, may we fulfill our noble obligations to our
school in general and to our fellow schoolmates in particular for the next academic year.
D: At this point in time, I am quite sure that everyone is excited to get the taste of luscious & sumptuous food
to be served for dinner by the accommodating crew members of Sulo Hotel.
K: So before we prolong such digestive revolution inside us, we are now declaring with full force that.ITS
EATING TIME!

D: Lets enjoy the food in observance of the table etiquette as usual. Happy Eating, everyone! Bon
appetite!Dinner

K: Good evening once again! Is the food great? Still craving for another serving? Seemingly, everyone enjoys
taking dinner so as to be all-set for the next part of the program.
D: Thats right, Kathleen! One of the most-awaited parts of this event is the traditional cotillion de honor that
serves as the prelude to the dancing portion of the Prom.
K: And to showcase the gracefulness and the inclination of the Vincentians tonight, lets now welcome the
Cotillion de Honor dancers under the supervision of Mr. Edwin Acierto. Lets give them a big hand with grace
and poise!Cotillion de Honor StudentsSelected 3rd Year & 4th Year
D: Thank you, cotillion de honor dancers for your awe-inspiring performance. You guys almost moved heaven
and earth in dancing!
K: That gracefulness in social dances is probably included in the roster of specific legacies of the Senior Class
to be ceded to the Junior Class.
D: And speaking of legacies and bequests, may we request the Finance & Logistics Officer, Lea Cabiling and
the Chairperson for Academic Programs of the Student Council, David Romano Perez for the reading,
endorsement and acceptance of the Last Will & Testament.Last Will & Testament PerezLea Cabiling & David
K: Thank you very much Lea & David. It is guaranteed that the last will and testament of the Senior Class is
now in good hands. We, the incoming Fourth Year students, are now committed to exerting indefatigable
effort in walking the beaten paths, so to speak.
D: Honestly, Kathleen, we dont expect you to be like us, but we expect you to be one of us or should I say
better than us. We challenge you to soar high in all aspects but to keep you both feet on the ground despite of
meritorious achievements. These are your gargantuan roles as would-be seniors!
K: Thanks for such nuggets of wisdom, Daniella. I could really imagine that you and your batch mates will
have a bright future a few years from now because of your God-given talents and desirable traits. Senior
Class.its you already!
D: Wellpredicting outcomes of our future success is a joy to do but there is one effective way to find out! Let
our Class Prophet take her course in giving her fearless predictions and formidable forecasts not based on
Chinese astrology or tarot cards but merely on the ambitions & career paths of my dear classmates.
K: Sounds great, Daniella. And to interpret the vibrations not from magic crystal ball but from the sheer guts
and will power of the seniors, may we request the presence of the SC Vice-President for External Affairs, Ma.
Ingrid Rei Lacambacal for the reading of the Seniors Class Prophecy.Class ProphecyIngrid Lacambacal
D: Thanks Ingrid for such eloquence to deliver the contents of our Prophecy. I have nothing to say with regard
to that but Good Luck to all of us.and so be it!

seniors, batch 2008 of St. Jude Academy, to leave. Being about to pass in this sphere of education, full of dreams and
aspirations, and ready to face the challenges the future may uphold, realizing that years may come and go, but there will
never be a year like this- do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Our Alma Mater, St. Jude Academy, a
school recognized for its high standards and quality Catholic Education, will always be remembered. We will never forget
all the years that she molded us into what we are now - Achievers - and for that we will be forever thankful. With the
guidance and advice given to us by our beloved teachers, with the knowledge gained which can not be repaid, we do
hereby distribute equally as possible the interest, skills and qualifications of our class to the succeeding juniors with the
hope that our successors may, before departing, continue those we left unfinished. After the fulfillment of our four-year

happiness, the tears and laughters, the do's and donts that we followed, the losses and wins, with the fervent wish that
they maintain and uphold the ideals and good name of our beloved school St. Jude Academy. May you continue to Live
on. Move on. Fly High! To our Alma Mater, we give our innermost gratitude for imparting to us those precious moments
which are unforgettable and joyful. We don't know how to define what we are feeling now but with the Plato-like statement,
we say "We thank God we are born Filipinos and not Hindus, freemen not slaves, normal not abnormal and above all, that
ning, this 20th day of February in the year 2009, will be greatly rated for being one of the volumes of the most prestigious
blockbuster film- our lives. In a few more episodes, we, seniors, will ascend to more difficult tapings and pictorials because
we will encounter a greater production; more actors to be met and more roles to be performed. And of course, one thing is
for sure: we are always the writer of our own story. As for now, let's congratulate ourselves for we all have been doing so
great to make this tale as fulfilling as we want it and as adventurous as we make it. In four years of staying here in this
institution, I may conclude that counting the wonderful moments that we shared in our high school days is a mind-boggling
thing because even the depressing ones that we lived through contributed in helping us to become what we are today.
Yes, even the giving of any sizes of paper during quizzes, "buraotan" during breaks and being "pasaways" in front of our
teachers, all are considered factors that made this experience complete and of course, a perfect one. And if we are going
to look at it, everything happened in a blast but, much unnoticed. When I made my first footsteps in this school in the early
days of my freshman year, one thing I can't forget is our innocent selves just like a blind person who seeks the right path,
looking for the white light behind the darkness of that innocence. By all means, we looked for the knowledge we need and
we craved for the wisdom we must possess before we depart from this home, from this family. We were so curious about
all the things that we encountered everyday but we did not know to whom we must hold on and how to distinguish right
from wrong. And because of such blindness, receiving only the radiance of the twilight, some succeeded in knowing all the
essential things to be remembered and to be understood by the heart but others got lost in the labyrinth and failed to know
the indispensable truth of life. We have encountered many things as high school students but still, our journey will not stop
after this stage. And I'm very proud that we never lost hope when failures and disappointments came to our way. We
defended what we love, and fought for what we believe in. And as for you, the juniors, in a few more days, your job will be
to continue the unfinished tasks we will leave behind as we sail in our respective ships to discover new oceans. In behalf of
the seniors, we are thankful because you are our companions and these years will serve as memories that we will cherish
forever. After we move on, after we step on another phase of our lives, you must learn and remember the things that have
helped us to finish this stage. You must learn how to be responsible. Responsibility is one key in order for you to succeed.
Some things that we did might not have worked out well but we trust that after we leave the portals of this institution, you
may learn from our mistakes. Expect the worst but always strive for the best. Whenever you fail, don't lose hope, just stand
up. Consider such challenges as a blessing. We must learn from these challenges, particularly the failures so that we will
achieve more success. You must also learn how to be humble. Humility is one sign of being educated, of being wise. This
will be the start of your time to grow up and make your own; we believe that you can do more than whatPwe have done.
But in doing so, always remember this: "The taller the bamboo grows, the lower it bends." And lastly, you must learn to be
contented sometimes but grow most of the time. It is always right to be contented but this will sometimes hinder you from
growing, from progressing. You only live once, so live your life to the fullest. It is not yet over so never make this as an
excuse for you to be contented; there are many more fishes in the sea, waiting for you to discover them. Just be grateful
for all your achievements and be thankful to the One who is the first and the last thing we must think of, God, because His
love for us and His will to guide us is everlasting. We hope to see all your spectacular dreams come true. Just remember
that: "All endings are also beginnings; we just don't know it at the time.we are born to have a chance to be here, to be in
this school, the St. Jude Academy. Lastly, we nominate, recommend and appoint our beloved principal, Sr. Evangeline B.
Algaba OSA, the Administrators, the faculty members, the Non-Teaching Personnel and all senior class advisers to be the
executor of this last will and testament. In witness, whereof, on this momentous and memorable Junior-Senior Promenade,
I now affix my signature for batch 2007-2008 on this testament, this 1st day of March, in the Year of Our Lord, two
thousand and eight at St. Jude Academy, Malinta Valenzuela City.PPROGRAMMEInvocation National Anthem Opening
