Joy fills the air as communities come together to celebrate Cordillera Day. Across the region, people gather to honor the rich history, unique cultures, and lasting traditions that define the Cordillera. The celebration also serves as a reminder of the values that have united its people for generations, including respect for heritage, cooperation, and resilience. For the people of Abra, this occasion is a meaningful opportunity to recognize their place in the Cordillera and to celebrate the identity that continues to shape their province.

Abra is one of the provinces that make up the Cordillera Administrative Region. Before it became part of the region, Abra had already developed a unique identity through the lives of its Indigenous peoples, especially the Tingguian or Itneg. These communities have protected their customs, languages, and traditions for many generations. When the Cordillera Administrative Region was established in 1987, Abra was included because of its shared history, culture, and geographical connection with the other Cordillera provinces.

The Cordillera is known for its mountain landscapes and diverse Indigenous communities. The region is home to different cultural groups that value respect for elders, unity, cooperation, and care for nature. Traditional practices, local knowledge, and community cooperation remain important even as the region continues to develop. These qualities have helped preserve the identity of the Cordillera despite changes over time.

As Cordillera Day is celebrated across the region, the people of Abra are reminded of the history and traditions that continue to shape their identity. The occasion also encourages everyone to value the customs, knowledge, and unity that have been preserved through generations. By learning about the past and appreciating the efforts of Indigenous communities, the younger generation can help ensure that the rich heritage of the Cordillera continues to thrive.

The Grade 8 Faithfulness class took part in the exciting cookfest. The energy in the place was fantastic. It was a couple of hours filled with teamwork, creativity, and of course, delicious food.

The challenge for the day was simple but fun. Every group had to prepare a tasty fish fillet, focusing on getting the dish to be perfect—golden-brown and crunchy on the outside while tender and savory on the inside. To wash it all down, each group also prepared orange and lemon mocktails, which made the food even more perfect with a touch of sweetness and sourness.

With four groups competing, the competition was friendly but intense. Each team worked hard to prepare, season, and cook their dish. From crispy breading to savory sauces, the variety of flavors was impressive.

At the end of the day, it wasn't about winning; it was about teamwork and serving the dish with love. Everyone did a great job. It was a memorable event that showed how talented the Grade 8 Faithfulness class is in the kitchen.

Holy Ghost School - A spirit of deep reverence and community celebration filled the sanctuary today as faithful members, local leaders, and visiting clergy gathered to officially welcome their newly appointed spiritual leader, the Reverend.

The installation service marked the beginning of a fresh chapter for the congregation. The day’s proceedings featured collaborative musical worship, heartfelt prayers of blessing from the church board, and a formal presentation of the parish registry to the incoming pastor. The solemn yet joyful event brought together generations of families eager to support their new shepherd.

During the inaugural homily, the focus was placed heavily on servant leadership and community engagement. The message challenged the congregation to ensure that spiritual growth translates directly into practical care for the marginalized, the youth, and the brokenhearted outside the church walls.

As the ceremony concluded and the community looked forward to a shared future of faith and development, the new Reverend left the congregation with an empowering reminder to guide their daily walks: "Your grades may open doors but your character will determine how far you go. Build your mind through learning but never stop building your heart through faith, kindness and service."
