Last November 28, 2008, a program in celebration of Book Month was staged by III-Jerusalem with a theme, “Ang Taong Palabasa, Dalubhasa sa Kultura.”
The doxology of some selected students of the said section commenced the program proper; followed by the singing of the National Anthem conducted by Ines Oyad. The formal opening of the said affair was done by Berlee Gaengan, the Section Jerusalem President.
Before their skit, the class rendered a song entitled “Dreams”. They also amused most of the audience when they played their skit entitled “Robin Hood”, the most famous legendary hero of England during the Medieval Age. After the presentation of their skit, singing their chorus entitled “Follow Your Dreams” came next.
On the other hand, Geizelle Anupo and Wynne Lyn Andogan showed their talents in acting when they presented their own declamatory pieces entitled, “Vengeance is not ours, It’s God’s” and “Ako’y Isang Ulila” respectively.
