Once is Like All the Time


By:  Janperson Mejias


                 Life has always been a swing. Everyone would experience such significant happenings of life over and over again. Whether distressful or overwhelming, we can never refuse to feel them all. Despite the bitterness strike, we are yet blessed for we have saved a lot of  memories from the past.
                 Last February 24, 2017, HNHS magnified a one-night affair for Juniors and Seniors-the JS Promenade. The  program was begun with a Juniors and Seniors entrance and so with the teachers. Everyone was fascinated by the lovely faces and stunning wears of the ladies and gentlemen in the said celebration. Behind what we are now, we flashed back the good-old-days through the collected pictures of many events we cherished before, while the class history was read along with it. The imaginative part came out when the class prophecy was storied. There’s nothing we had in mind but a feeling of appreciation and gratefulness as we were imagining how we found ourselves in the future.
On the halfway end of the night, a proclamation of winners , which was the highlight of the celebration, was all to ears. And, Mel Marlon Otarra and Irish Torreta were recognized Mr. & Ms. JS Prom ‘17. An evening of joy and frolic socialization ended the night affair.



SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2-STORY BUILDING


By: Janperson Mejias


When a bud unfolds, a richer color and new dimensions come out into a view. It’s newest form is the entrance to enjoying the best of everything anybody wanted to have, new life.

New life is the day to have worked on beyond the days you had. It comes at any age or in every stage where changes is fleetingly and quietly  moving around.

For students new life is the route towards accomplishing dreams. For the school and community, it is a conducive way to confer them the open-door golden opportunities to pursue the ambitions the students are aiming for. That is why the attractive edifice of HNHS , the 2-story classroom building for senior high school was built with a mark of gearing up for the future considering that K-12 program is already practiced.

The newly constructed building will not be quint essential without the witnesses , the involvement and interaction of leaders of Bohol Province, the turn-over ceremony, and of course , the heart feat-the blessing.

Giving benediction to this shared vision bestows the school pride and value will lift up the institution potentials to inspire more and educate more students productively.

It is, therefore, well for students to welcome and make feasible their dreams as each one unlocks the room for Senior High School.

HNHS Studes Receive Confirmation

2015
Generose Mejasco

There are many practices of worship in the Roman Catholic religion. Worshiping could be anything: basic prayer, the seven sacraments, or public worship (Sunday mass). Each experience of worship has different meanings in Roman Catholicism, effecting people in many different ways. One of the more noteworthy practices that HNHS students have experienced is one of the seven sacraments, confirmation. Confirmation is said to be a time where a catholic confirms their beliefs. Through this sacrament, a person becomes a “spiritual adolescent;” that is, they mature in the way they communicate with God and in conveying his message. Confirmation involves receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In a way, it is a reenactment of when the Holy Spirit came down on the apostles and gave them strength to teach as Jesus did.

Diocese of Talibon realized the importance of this sacrament and understood perfectly the reason why the people from the island barangays can’t receive this. So they made a major sacrifice by outreaching the remote areas to conduct Confirmation.

        Handumon folks were blessed to be part of this advocacy and Handumon National High School joined and supported this activity. HNHS with the collaboration of the barangay prepared a short program to honor Rev. Fr. Patrick Parcon and a dinner closed the activity.


HNHS Dolls Join Miss Getafe

2015
Regine Camacho


Twelve lovely students were gathered together hoping for the title of being Miss Getafe 2015 during the town fiesta celebration last January 2015, since the municipality had always thought of giving the town folks entertainment.

This year’s pageant was aiming to seek for beauties that can bring pride to the town, so the organizers decided to give high school students a chance to show what they got. Three students from each high school in Getafe were qualified to compete and one of those schools was our very own HNHS.

Marivel Torrefiel, a Grade 9 Fidelity, Chienly Tacatani, IV year Divinity and Jewel Aurestilla Grade 9 Fidelity were the Lovely HNHS Dolls who competed and brought the name of the school. Many HNHS students went to the pageant night to support their schoolmate, as well as the teachers of Handumon National High School lead by their principal Mrs. Perlita D. Omaña.

Marivel finished second to Campao Oriental High school’s bet and won the best in playsuit award. Though Cheinly and Jewel were not fortunate to place in the pageant but surely they are always a winner for all Handumonians.


Parting is a sweet sorrow!



     No matter how we hate it, goodbye is a word we often hear or utter and is the order of the day in everyone’s life. Some goodbyes bring about pain while others beget pleasure. While someone leaves us behind, parting is still a sweet sorrow. For friends and lovers it creates delight between or among them knowing that they will be seeing one another next day. For workers bidding farewell to their work may leave them emotional but at the end of the day it rewards them with the rest they ought to have and makes way for someone new to take their place.

     Usually, the yearly issue of the schools newsletter is filled with new faces that come to work in the school. Students are thrilled to meet them and so are their colleagues.

     This year, many were down in the dumps because of  the retirement of a person whom the HNHS students and faculties have learned to love.

     For many years of inspiring and touching the lives of other people, Sir Nestor Enriquez or Sir Nes, as he is called by his colleagues had to hang up his spurs, but in the very core of those who have worked with him, an intangible yet potent mark that may keep inspiring people through the ages.


Mega Affair in October

2014
Edna Joy Socias, IV-Divinity

     Another year has come for more exciting events in the commemoration of the founding of Getafe. As the festivity is getting better and bigger each year, the municipality has always added new attractions to everyone to see and enjoy. In 2014, the town was more health- conscious as it started off the event with a Fun Run.

     Various booths were opened to the public such as free medical checkup, free grooming services and etc. as the objective of the event is to give back to the people of Getafe what they have been contributed to the town. Sports enthusiast entertained the people during the Foundation Day and when lunch time came people were all gathered at the town plaza for the boodle fight where all of the foods were shared to everyone.

     The event left a strong message to the hearts of the people that the success of a town lays not only on the leader but greatly on the unity of its constituents
