In line with 𝑹𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉, students gathered at the Aquinas de Escolar Academy gymnasium on March 11, 2026 for an informative anti-rabies seminar organized in partnership with the Municipality of Santa Maria, Bulacan.

The seminar carried the message “𝑹𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒔-𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝒏𝒂 𝑷𝒖𝒔𝒂’𝒕 𝑨𝒔𝒐, 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒐!” and emphasized the campaign slogan “𝑨𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒂𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒅𝒐, 𝑷𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒌𝒕𝒂𝒅𝒐.”

Among the invited guests and speakers from the municipality were 𝑫𝒓. 𝑨𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒍 𝑮𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒂, 𝑴𝒓. 𝑹𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒅 𝑺𝒂𝒏 𝑫𝒊𝒆𝒈𝒐, 𝑴𝒔. 𝑱𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑮𝒖𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒔. 𝑬𝒍𝒊 𝑳𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒈, who discussed the causes of rabies, how it spreads, and the proper steps to take in case of animal bites or scratches. They also highlighted the importance of vaccinating pets and maintaining responsible care for animals to ensure the safety of families and communities.

The seminar served as an important reminder that awareness and proper action can help protect both humans and animals from the dangers of the disease. By educating the youth, the initiative hopes to strengthen the community’s commitment to a rabies-free and healthier environment.

On February 6, 2026, the search for Mr. and Ms. Aquinas 2026 officially commenced with a ceremony held at the school gymnasium as part of the 16th Founding Anniversary celebration of Aquinas de Escolar Academy. The event brought together candidates from preschool to senior high school, each showcasing their talents, intelligence, and charm.

The celebration was divided into two sessions: the morning session featured preschool to elementary level candidates, while the afternoon session highlighted contestants from junior high to senior high school. The program included lively production numbers, as well as casual wear, school wear, and elegant formal wear segments that emphasized the candidates’ poise and style. The audience was further impressed as contestants displayed their unique talents and demonstrated their wit and confidence during the Q&A portion.

As the ceremony concluded, the candidates left a lasting impression with their talent and intelligence. The newly crowned Mr. and Ms. Aquinas were announced, marking the culmination of a memorable event that reflected the true spirit of Aquinians. The celebration continued the following day with a lively motorcade featuring all Mr. & Ms. Aquinas candidates.
