An enormous display of love swarmed Mabulitec Integrated School anew as the new structural emblem that bears the soon-to-be enigmatic “We Love Mabulitec IS” mantra has just been unveiled on April 23 at the school’s ground.
Nestled at the heart of the school, the emblem comes in wide array of aesthetics; a masterpiece embellished with palette of colors, and streaks of imaginative patterns, outlines and designs. A sight to behold, it was masterfully crafted by the noted artist in the Malasiqui District II, Benny Gilbert Frias who hails from the neighboring Apaya village.
The emblem symbolizes the unwavering love for the school of the principal, Dr. Christine M. Paglingayen, the teaching and non-teaching staff led by MT II Lily L. de Vera and HT I Jovita Garan, the Barangay Council, parents, stakeholders and kind-hearted donors.
Municipal councilwoman, Dolores B. Capua served as the event’s guest of speaker. The matriarch of the model family awardee in 2002, Ma’am Dolores lauds the continuous improvements that are taking place in the institution including the newly established four-storey, eight-classroom building, which is slated to be inaugurated on May 31.
PSDS Malasiqui District II, Dr. Nelia Ferrer was also present to grace the momentous event. Dr. Ferrer, displayed her charm and wit on her speech and cited Helen Keller’s epic quote about working as a potent team, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Dr. Nelia added, “You are making history, a historical emblem that gives opportunity for everyone to work as a team [amid the COVID outbreak].”
Division of Pangasinan I PTA vice president, Voltaire D. Tolentino, one of the school’s staunch supporters later provided a motivating message about love and unity and said that he was so thankful to MIS which he has already considered a home.
A resource speaker in one of the trainings conducted by the school not long time ago, Sir Voltaire made a pledge to the delight of the teachers that he will give token t-shirts when his term ends.
The school’s PTA president, Sir Juanito Salinas, Barangay Captain Pablo Espiritu, and the barangay councilors Virgilio Pinlac, Rogelio Mendoza, Isagani Reyes, Jackson Lambino, and Juan Arcangel were also present in the event. Sir Juanito and Kap Pablo shared stimulating messages as well to the participants.
At last the moment of truth has finally arrived. Ma’am Dolores, Dr. Christine, Ma’am Lily, Ma’am Jovita, Sir Voltaire and the barangay officials led the historical unveiling of the emblem and together with the hardworking teachers of the school inked a Pledge of Commitment pact to cement their immense love for the school.
Dr. Christine wrapped up the event with her heart-warming and inspiring closing remarks as she stated, “With our theme: One Vision, One Goal. There is really beauty and power in unity. We must be united in heart and mind.”
The dynamic school head said further, “If [the] people in [barangay] Mabulitec will work together, success will be felt... Sabi nga nila, kung sama-sama, kayang-kaya, tutulong-tulong, susulong!"
According to Dr. Christine, MIS is the second school in SDO 1 Pangasinan to adapt the We Love… cliché. With that said another feather has just been added into the hat of Dr. Christine that already piled up many improvements for the school after just little over a year of stay in MIS.
Right after the ceremony, a faculty meeting materialized and Dr. Christine announced that she is bound for a 24-day leave starting on April 26 and will be back before the inauguration of the school’s new building.
Dr. Christine said to her teachers that she will embark on career development and had announced that Work From Home (WFH) OIC-principal designate, Sir Julius Fernandez will possibly assist Dr. Nelia in taking charge of the school. She is confident that the flow of things in the school will still be seamless even without her for almost a month.
Of course the improvements including the creation of the emblem will not materialized without the aid of the donations that were given by benevolent people who have just shown their immense love for the institution.
The influx of donations had also helped the school’s successful campaigns in the district and municipal levels of the Gulayan sa Paaralan search and paved the way for the procurement of the elegant garden table and chair set, ornamental plants and among others.

There’s indeed so much love on this caption, but wait there’s more!
A gargantuan groundbreaking ceremony will about to commence very soon and this is the unveiling of the 19-million building, that will inevitably serves as a colossal landscape (remember that we’re in a village) in the barangay for many years if not forever and will certainly cater to numerous future professionals in the years to come.
