Each daily session began with a Holy Mass celebrated by Fr. Alain P. Manalo, Msgr. Michael Feliciano I. Veneracion, and Fr. Thadeu Enrique N. Balongag, respectively. On August 30, CEAP President Fr. Albert N. Delvo, PhD, met with the group to express the organization’s gratitude for each member’s efforts and service.
Despite their busy schedules, Fr. Alain P. Manalo, Chairperson of the PCSS committee, and Dr. Cynthia C. Arcadio, Chairperson of the PCSS-BE, along with the technical consultants—Fr. Thadeu Enrique N. Balongag, Miss Simonet A. Barrosa, Fr. Elmer G. Dizon, Sr. Ma. Nilda P. Hechanova RA, Mr. Jose Ramelle E. Javier, Dr. Miguel Q. Rapatan, Dr. Amelia G. Ronquillo, and Msgr. Michael Feliciano I. Veneracion—dedicated time to refining the PCSS document that serves as the blueprint for the Catholic institution’s distinctive Catholic identity. Their unwavering commitment to this task underscores the importance of ensuring that Catholic education remains relevant, dynamic, and true to its mission of nurturing faith, character, and academic excellence.
The Philippine Catholic Schools Standards (PCSS) is a body that provides a framework for the continuous improvement and sustainability of Catholic schools in the Philippines. It seeks to ensure that these schools maintain high standards of Catholic education, focusing on the formation of faith, academic excellence, and holistic development of students in alignment with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
