Despite the global pandemic that has kept individuals from seeing their loved ones, many relationships have flourished because of this very belief. BALESAA AND BALEGUIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL likewise believe in this. As a result, the 14TH GRAND Alumni Homecoming was made possible and its taking place to happen, tonight. CRES: that is true partner. We really appreciate your presence tonight mga baleguinanons. For the last 3 years we’ve been locked inside the four-corner sides of our homes, we are restricted to conduct mass gatherings for the fear that the infectious disease might infect us. But look at us now, seating and celebrating things again in synchronous yet faced to faced way. So this is something that we should be grateful for, we were able to surpass the challenge brought by the pandemic and everything is slowly coming back to normal.

Anyway cres, its fascinating to hear again those yell and how they proudly shout out their batch years, that only shows how we missed this kind of gathering and how far we have come. This years theme “TAPOKITA: STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS BEYOND BOARDERS AMIDST THE PANDEMIC” provides an unequaled opportunity to see old friends, meet new ones, learn about the different changes happening in BALES and remininsce the era that made us into successful human beings we are now. CRES: That’s right jhun. Our years in bales were memorable years. We had a great time to grow up. We didn't have much money, but we learnt to appreciate what we did have. We didn't have computers, video games, or cellphones, but we did have the freedom to explore nature and have fun while doing it, as well as to communicate with our peers and teachers in a meaningful way. Even though some of us were struggling financially, we didn't feel hopeless because we understood what we wanted to do with our lives. This was the driving force behind our journey, and it's what ultimately brought us back to honor our beloved alma mater.

What do you think is the essence of this activity partner? Cris: Of course, the primary goal of the instant king and queen is to support Baleguian Elementary School, our cherished institution. The money from this Instant King and Queen will all go to our beloved alma mater, notably for the endeavor to build washing facilities. More crucially, the upcoming academic year may possibly be held face to face. Thus, the host batches of this year's alumni celebration aim to be able to participate in this essential and relevant endeavor of our beloved institution because they perceive it a highly beneficial to both students and school staff especially that we're still at the wake of the pandemic Jhun: Precisely cris, so at this juncture may we request every batch to send off their best representative male and female here in the front for further instructions.

Surely, we now know who will be the next host for 2023 Grand Alumni Homecoming. The responsibility to host the homecoming is indeed quite a challenge. In behalf of the BALESAA we wish you good luck batch 1999,2006 AND 2008! GIVING OF TOKEN TO THE FORMER TEACHERS OF BALES CRES: REQUESTING ALL THE TEACHERS TO BE IN FRONT. At this point, we would be remiss not to pay tribute to our former teachers, both those present and those present in spirit, and the great contribution and impact they had upon our lives. For most, if not all of us, our formative teen years were a time of growth, adventure, excitement, and experimentation. But there were also times of uncertainty, fear, sadness and pain. The best thing for being sad is to learn something. Learning is the thing for you. In the larger scheme of things, it didn’t matter so much that you, our teachers, taught us , mathematics, English, music, and many more. What mattered most was that because of your mission and dedication, you taught us the life long value of learning and the effects it can have on our own, as well as others lives. Jhun: And for that, we sincerely thank and honor you. And now, May we request our Batch President to please come up the stage for the giving back to our dear teachers, to be assisted by the Batch officers here present.
