The Buntatala Gathering
It was a family day indeed when the day care students, their parents and guardians, relatives and siblings and the senior citizens of Buntatala gathered at the gym for a dose of fun, good food and gifts.
The senior citizens who celebrated their birthdays last August and September were lucky because Vice Mayor Jed Mabilog personally gave them a cake. The day care students were happy as well, because each of them received slippers from the Vice Mayor.
Councilor Julienne Baronda, although she was not around, sent snacks that were enjoyed by all.
The celebration’s theme was “Si Inay, matatag sa lahat ng bagay.” With the moms as the centerpiece of the theme, it was but fitting for the mothers and the female guardians of the students to render intermission numbers to the delight of everybody.

DOLORES HUERTA: “Giving kids clothes and food is one of thing, but it’s much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.”
