Pusong Salesyano, Marangal at Banal. This was the 61st Foundation Day Theme; having the salesians here in school is very different...We find it very cheerful and holy to be with the salesian priest, In my own experience of living with the salesians is like living with our own Saint John Bosco, having the salesians in our midst make us remember that  know matter what happen there will always be someone that will support you, Salesian Priest are always available whenever you need them; Spiritually or Physically. In a salesian setting you will always feel at home because of the things that they are giving you; having a heart of a salesian is like having the dreams of Saint John Bosco to the youth; and connection with that is being holy, Bosconians may not see it but as long as they try to be with the Salesians they are trained to be Holy, Some people called a Salesian Setting a school for saints because as long as we are in Don Bosco we are already trained to give everything, all our best and offer it to our Lord; Do your ordinary duties extraordinally well, A famous quotation of Saint John Bosco, we are trained to be the best among our selves, they say that your greatest enemy is your self, and so with that we used to be a competitive Bosconians especially in terms of technical.

Being one with Juan, is an expression of a Bosconian having the true blue Bosconian spirit, being with Bosconians will help you to develop something that other schools or congregation doesn't have.

I've learned many things in being a Bosconian,things that will help me to be a better citizen of this country and to be more closer to God. Bosconians have a big difference from other congragation or other school, A salesian setting will always be different when it comes to serving God, Doing technical things and having friendship with other people, These are just some characteristics of a Bosconian that you will learn in interacting with them meaning being one with them. 

Bosconians are very creative and very devoted. when they want it, they focus and do everything to get it without harming other people. A very good example is on how Bosconians prepare themselves and the event place for a Mass, Bosconians will never let the mass to go on without having a drummer, guitarist, and other instruments that will animate the mass. and that's how you can see the Bosconian's Devotedness to the thing that he do. Not just in the massses but also in Sports and Technical Activity, they will sacrifice their playtime, instead of playing computer outside, they use that time to practice and bring out the best into everyone's member.

For the past 4 years that i've been into Don Bosco, I can proudly say that Bosconian is very different from other kind of people, Bosconians are known for doing ordinary things ordinary well. With the things that I always remembered was the talk of our dear Rector Fr. Matin Macasaet SDB. He said " Being saint does'nt need to be special or you didnt need to always pray to be a saint or holy, but in many ways we can be a saint by doing our duties and fulfilling our obligation, the good things that we shall do in order for us to be a better and good citizen of this country and of God, we always think of doing those things for the greater glory of God, we may not see our rewards in here, but rest assured that when our time comes that we will be able to meet God face to face; We will all receive the rewards that are for us" and in addition to that I also remember one salesian priest that was very close to us Bosconians of Batch-2013 ; Fr. Drans Nolasco SDB. he said once before our graduation " Ascende Superius Bosconians, Come up to a higher place as you have been promoted to the next level of your life. once again Ascende Superius, Strive to reach your real graduation in heaven and that's why I love Don Bosco very well, It is because of the salesian educative community that help me to adopt and learn the deeper perspective of being a Bosconian.

I am very proud that I came from not just an ordinary school but in a Home called Don Bosco, In this place I can remember the good things that make my manners more stronger. A home wherein the love for the young people were given like the teaching of Saint John Bosco.
I am happy to have a true blue Bosconian Blood
