Happy Birthday to our favorite ray of sunshine! ☀️

Today, we want to celebrate an instructor who makes every PE class something to look forward to. To our dearest Sir Christopher Arciosa, thank you for bringing your bubbly energy and that ever-present smile to the class every single day.

Beyond the moves and sports, we truly appreciate your soft-hearted nature and your concern for your students’ well-being. You don’t just teach them how to move; you show them how to lead with kindness.

Wishing you a day as wonderful and bright as you are! 🎂🕺

From your BSOA Family.

Upon fulfilling the greatest mission of being an educator, we would also love to celebrate the lives of these two amazing instructors of the BSOA program.

To our Program Coordinator, Ma'am Gilda O. Naret, we would like to thank you for always supporting the program. Your dedication and positive energy create a wonderful partnership with all the faculty members and students. We would also like to appreciate your generosity and willingness to help the program achieve its long-term goals.

Your dedication and vision are the bedrock of our program's success. We are constantly inspired by your leadership, especially in times when the students and your fellow instructors need your advice and guidance. We particularly remember your efforts during the PASOA Mindanao and National Convention, BMAP, COMMEPP, and even to the school events like PASOALYMPIC, Himamat, and PAUGNATAN. It's that dedication that makes our work meaningful.

Beyond your strategic leadership, we deeply appreciate your commitment to mentorship and fostering a positive environment. Your door is always open, and your willingness to share honest feedback and empower the team and students has profoundly impacted both our professional and personal lives.

We are excited about the future of BSOA under your wing and looking forward to achieving even greater milestones together.

Thank you for everything you do. May your birthday be the start of another year filled with health, happiness, and continued success.

🎉 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Rachel A. Villaflor, our outstanding BSOA student, for winning the 2024 Young Farmers Provincial Awardee in the Start-up Category! 🏆

We are incredibly proud of Rachel's dedication and innovative spirit. Her hard work has been recognized with an 80,000 pesos grant to support her product innovation venture! 💰 This is a testament to her passion and the bright future of her career.

Let's support Rachel by reacting "heart" to this post.

We are so proud of your achievement. From your BSOA Family

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ma'am Adelina Villafuerte, a beloved instructor of the BSOA department.

Ma'am Adelina was more than just a teacher; she was a mentor, a guide, and a source of inspiration to countless students throughout her years of service. Her dedication to her craft and her genuine care for her students left an indelible mark on our department and the lives of those she touched.

We remember her as the first and real steno master, a mother-like instructor, and a passionate BSOA instructor. Her passion for stenography was evident in every class, and she instilled in her students a love for learning that will continue to resonate.

Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her during this difficult time. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

From your forever BSOA Family.
