Pillarican student leaders assume responsibility in Oath-taking and Mass Induction
“WITH GREAT POWER CCOMES A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY”: Nazrene Genesis Villoso, the newly elected president of the Supreme Student Council delivers his speech as he formally accepted his new journey as a student leader on June 24 during the Oth-taking and Mass Induction program.

In an interview with Nazrene Villoso, he encouraged his fellow students to always practice the Pillarican values and brand of excellence. He also expressed his desires to implement programs and activities that cater to students, environment and community extension.

“I want to strengthen the plastic-free policy of our school. I also want to conduct a tree planting activity within the school and of course our adopted barangay to minimize the effects of global warming. I also want to conduct an outreach program in Luna, Isabela aside from Casalatan because most children in barangay Macugay are malnourished”.

At the end of the interview, Villoso asked his fellow Pillaricans to be united and help each other to become transformed Christian individuals.
