Philippine School Doha

Posted on Monday the 18th of February 2008

The 15th foundation day of the Philippine School Doha, having its theme “Crossing Barriers, Building Frontiers”, was celebrated last October 5, 2007 at 6:00 pm. Special guests, parents, students and the school staffs were there to witness and celebrate the success of the past 14 years of PSD and of the years to come.

The program started with the entrance of colors held by the CAT officers which was followed by the interdenominational prayers. It was followed by the opening remarks of the school’s principal; Mr. Alexander S. Acosta. The program was lightened with memories as the short video about the past 14 years of PSD was played. It showed the development as the presentation started from the first years of the school until the present. The Student Supreme Government went around with boxes to collect donations from the crowd for Bantay Bata (an organization in the Philippines that helps the unfortunate and abused children). It was followed by the cake-cutting ceremony and the releasing of the balloons and birds.

The second part was the introduction of the Mr. and Ms. PSD Earth 2008. The students cheered for their favorite contestants as they presented a dance and uttered words that best described them. By the end, the judges and the viewers made an arduous decision as they made the top ten list of the candidates. Before the celebration ended, the “Pautakan” or “Battle of the Brains” was held. It was a competition not only for the students but also for their parents. The questions were all about the history of PSD.

Summing this event up, everyone did enjoy the celebration and it was a success.
