SCHOOL YEAR 2025-2026
Following the recent heavy rains
and flooding that affected our school, St. Mary’s Academy has taken proactive steps to help prevent the spread of dengue. A cleaning drive, disinfection, and mosquito spraying were conducted within the campus to ensure a safer environment for our students and personnel.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Jose Quiroz, Sanitary Inspector of RHU I, for providing the necessary spraying solution to support our dengue prevention efforts.
Together, let’s keep our school community safe and healthy! #DenguePrevention

SMAG OBSERVES FEAST DAY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
The SMAG community observed the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on a cloudy Friday morning at the school's covered court.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Catholic devotion that honors the physical heart of Jesus as a symbol of His divine love and mercy. It reminds the faithful of His enduring love for humanity.
During the solemn ceremony, Mr. Mark Francis Correa shared with the students the history of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The opening prayer was then led by S. Maria Marife Liezel Novino, RVM, and Mr. Hutch Napilisan.
Afterwards, the candle offering was led by the president of each class, followed by a flower offering by the selected students along with the serenade. The reading of the Holy Gospel was done by Mr. Warren Bitangjol.
Marking the end of the solemn celebration, S. Ma. Lorina A. Jumawan, RVM, together with S. Maria Marife Liezel Novino, RVM, led the closing prayer.
The SMAG community, with a renewed and deeper sense of faith, carried with them the enduring message of love and mercy embodied by the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

STUDENT LEADERS FACE OFF IN BALITAKTAKAN 2025
Leadership, conviction, and wit took center stage at BALITAKTAKAN 2025: Tinig ng Pamunuan, Tinig ng Pag-asa, the much-awaited showcase of student leadership between the student council partylists of St. Mary’s Academy of Guagua, held on June 27, 2025. The program was hosted by the vibrant duo, Mr. Jean Dane Canlas and Ms. Elijah Hulssey Sebastian.
The event featured two partylists — LAGI and TUMALIMA — as they battled it out for the students' trust and votes, delivering their ideas and intentions with purpose and passion.
BALITAKTAKAN 2025 was divided into three rounds designed to challenge the candidates' leadership abilities. In the first round, they were given random leadership-related words and had only 30 seconds to define and explain them.
The second round brought them closer to the student body, as they answered real questions submitted by fellow Marians within a 40-second time frame. The final round upped the intensity as candidates responded to thought-provoking questions from the panelists: Mr. Christian Catacutan (Prefect of Students), Mr. Angelo Yumul (Student Activity Coordinator), and Shane Simon, former Student Council President of S.Y. 2023–2024.
To cap off the event, the presidential candidates were given two minutes to deliver their final pitches — passionate, persuasive messages aimed at winning the hearts of every Marian. BALITAKTAKAN 2025 turned the spotlight on future leaders who chose not to compete, but to stand — to represent, to speak, and to serve with meaning.
