Our batch has formed a committee called ” FOR THE BENEFIT OF ” and this is headed by Lala and Eds. Aside from the funds that we will be donating to the Assumption Mission Schools, we have a few outreach programs we would like to do now and in the coming years. And we are all excited!
In a few months, With the help of Tito Frank Drilon, Our Assumption batch will help build a classroom in Porac, Pampanga! Thank you Tito Frank! What a great advocacy!!
Our roadtrip led us to Katutubo Elementary School where Assumption sometimes holds their immersions. We were also happy to find out that Xavier School is the main donor for this school through the Mena Foundation of Fr. Mena
They also have feeding programs here
The school caters to the Ayta tribe in the area, they have a very cute village around the school
They remove their slippers before going inside the classroom
Here we are with Sister Lilia Malimit and two of the teachers from the Department of Education
The fence will be removed to make way for the classroom which will be built beside this existing one. We are targetting December just in time for Christmas
We hope you can help us raise funds and it can be in many forms:
1.) Cash Sponsorship – please contact Aileen Tupaz- Lota at at_lota@yahoo.com or cell #: 0917-828-6671

We went on a road trip to Pampanga!! Love road trips because it is bonding time again 🙂
My bestfriend, Eds, planned the trip as she is part of the ” FOR THE BENEFIT OF ” committee for our Velada together with Lala. So the three of us went starting out early at 7am. Lots of stories and eating! Super fun!
Road trips are fun because it is also snacking time 🙂
I brought my cheese snacks
and my favorite Minstrels
Lala brought doughnuts from KFC
And Eds brought healthy snacks – skyflakes, tuna and apple – which no one ate! haha!!
We took around an hour and a half to get to where we were going
And oh my gosh! I just had to take this!!
Obviously, we did not go there 🙂 we took the other fork on the left side
On the way back, Eds made sure we passed by here!! We did not pass the SCTEX so we took the normal Pampanga route and this is on the left side of the bridge on the way to Pampanga so we passed by on the way home so we would be on the right side of the street. It is the side where there is a Jollibee and Mc Donalds
They are known for their Buko Pandan salad!!
It comes frozen
and you can buy it like ice cream where it comes in gallons. I took home 4 cups for the family to try and it was wiped out!!! Really yummy!!
They also have juice but I did not get to try this
Another bestseller is the siomai -people were buying it one after the other – i think more for the price than the taste. It was okay tasting. They sold it in 10’s ( P 70 ) , 20’s ( P 130 ), 30’s ( P 195.) 50’s ( P 325 )
They had so many many other Filipino snacks!!!
Plenty pasalubong stuff
They also have a dining area
