As we celebrate “Araw ng Pagbasa”, Bajet-Castillo High School—through the joint efforts of the English and Filipino Department honors the power of stories to shape young minds, strengthen our school community, and deepen our connection to our Filipino heritage.

Declared under Republic Act No. 10556,this special day reminds us that reading is more than a skill—it's a shared practice that builds identity, nurtures critical thinking, and keeps our history and culture alive for future generations.

Together with educators, learners, and families, we continue to promote a strong culture of reading rooted in our diverse languages, traditions, and everyday experiences.

Let’s keep opening books, opening conversations, and opening doors to a more informed, empowered, and culturally grounded BCHS community.

On November 18, 2025, BCHS carried out the Bookmark Design Contest, where students from various grade levels showcased their artistry and creativity.
Participants were tasked to design a unique bookmark that inspires and promotes the love for reading—highlighting their imagination and advocacy for literacy.

Special thanks to our committed facilitators, Ma’am Marygold A. Apolonio and Ma’am Liezl S. Calma, for overseeing the activity and supporting the participants throughout the contest.

Congratulations to all student designers for their meaningful and creative contributions!
