The Johnston Society

Happy Birthday to the girl whose name is as angelic as an Angel herself. May your day be as radiant as your smile, and your year as beautiful as the dreams you carry in your heart. You are a light in our class and in the lives of everyone who knows you, and we hope this year blesses you with endless happiness, genuine friendships, and success in all your goals. Keep soaring high, Angel — the sky is yours.🎂🎉

Happy Birthday, Casey! 🎂💚

Our ever-dedicated Public Relations Officer, who never fails to remind us of our tasks, keep us informed, and even write words that truly touch our hearts.

Thank you for always caring for our section—not just through your responsibilities, but through the genuine love and effort you pour into everything you do for us. You’re one of the reasons the Johnston Class feels like a family.

We celebrate you today, Casey! May your kindness and dedication return to you a hundredfold. Cheers to more blessings and happiness ahead! 🥳

📚🤣 Magkano Ka sa Grade Pricing? 🤣📚

Grades = prizes (or punishments)! From candy to hugas plato, tingnan natin saan ka babagsak. 😂 Comment your grade and tag your classmates! 🙌

✨ Bawat card day ay paalala na laging may pagkakataon para mas galingan pa sa susunod. Kaya ‘wag malungkot kung hindi perfect ang nakuha mo — may susunod pang pagkakataon para bumawi. You got this! 💪

Itinampok din ang samahan at bayanihan ng mga mag-aaral at g**o sa masiglang paligsahan at presentasyon, kung saan ipinakita ang galing, sipag, at pagmamalaki sa sariling wika at tradisyon.

Sa pagtatapos ng pagdiriwang, dala ng bawat isa ang aral na ang wika ay higit pa sa mga letra at salita. Ito ay alaala ng ating kasaysayan at tulay sa pagkakaisa ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Sa bawat awit at galaw, muling nabuhay ang diwa ng ating pinagmulan. Pinuno ng kulay, sigla, at damdamin ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2025 na may temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.”

Higit pa sa selebrasyon, ito’y naging pagbabalik-tanaw at pagpapatibay sa ating pagkakakilanlan bilang mga Pilipino. Bawat pagtatanghal, mula sa sabayang pagbigkas hanggang sa masining na dula, ay nagsilbing patunay na ang ating wika at kultura ay nananatiling buhay, makabuluhan, at makapangyarihan.

Midterm Examinations have finally come to a close, and Johnston may proudly declare: we survived—though not without a few casualties along the way. Sleepless nights, last-minute cramming, and the occasional desperate glance at the ceiling (hoping the answers would magically appear) became part of our daily routine during the past three days. What was called an “assessment of learning” often felt more like a reminder of how little we retained from our classes of laughter and fun—maybe focusing would’ve helped. Still, between the stress, caffeine, and silent prayers that our teachers would go easy on us, we managed to take that one small step forward toward academic freedom.

But let’s not celebrate too much just yet. The road ahead is still long: three more quarters, each ready to test our patience, memory, and ability to function on little to no sleep. If the midterms of the 1st semester has taught us anything, it’s that Johnston does not back down. We stumble, we complain, and yes, we even find humor in times like this—but in the end, we always find a way to endure. And as we face the finals of the 1st semester of this journey, we know we will not walk alone. With the steady guidance and support of our advisor, Sir Johbert, Johnston will continue to move forward—one quarterly exam at a time, and one giant leap closer to the end of the school year.

FINALLY! Sa wakas, we survived!

Midterms are over, along with it, our hell week (PETA week) has also come to an end. From answering Ms. Jamelas tricky and tough questions regarding hydrometeorological hazards, to giving your all in dancing and singing for Sir Arjun and Ms. Jessahs role-play, to then effectively demonstrating oral communication in a podcast facilitated by Sir Ian. And to many of the other PETAs that were submitted as outputs. The students of Johnston showed how all the endless cramming and sleepless nights paid off. To everyone who carried their teams to the finish line—your efforts did not go unnoticed.

Look in the mirror. You're not looking at someone who's haggard; you're looking at a warrior who fought countless battles and faced every adversity. Your unwavering strength turned all that pressure into wisdom and courage.

Inhale, exhale. Celebrate your wins. You've earned it.

A new era begins as the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brand-new college building was held. This milestone is more than just the opening of classrooms—it’s the start of greater opportunities, new discoveries, and lasting memories for each student.

With modern spaces designed to inspire learning and collaboration, this new home is a testament to growth, progress, and the bright future that awaits every learner who walks through its doors.

We were also honored by the presence of our guest speakers, Mr. William A. Bantigue who shared an inspiring message on perseverance and vision, and Dr. Abundio Balgos, who emphasized the role of education in shaping a future full of possibilities.

Here’s to dreams taking flight, journeys unfolding, and brighter futures being built—starting today.

ABM Johnston students recently had the opportunity to attend the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Public Information Campaign held on July 30, 2025, at SM City Roxas. The event served as an educational platform to promote financial literacy and deepen public understanding of the country's economic and monetary systems. Through engaging discussions and presentations, students explored the BSP’s critical role in regulating inflation, maintaining monetary stability, and safeguarding the banking sector.

For many students, it was a unique chance to interact directly with professionals from one of the country’s most important financial institutions. They asked questions, exchanged ideas, and reflected on how these insights connect to their future careers in business and finance. The experience not only enhanced their classroom learning but also inspired a greater sense of financial responsibility and civic awareness.
