Fiesta theme for the inauguration of Baras-Pinugay National High School
Posted on September 18, 2008 by Herbert Joseph Carigma under Education
Schools Division Superintendent Marites Ibanez said it right. Today’s inauguration of Baras-Pinugay National High School could be mistaken as a fiesta. You could not miss to see the musical bands, song and dance, banderitas, a lot of visitors, and high profile at that, and of course, good food. Short periods of drizzles may have poured in the makeshift stage, but it did not dampen the spirits of the attendees.
Calderetang baka, pininyahang manok, rellenong bangus, menudo, steamed chicken, chopsuey and ensaladas served the palate of the visitors. On top of that are desserts like sweet mangoes, bananas and buko salad. The Baras Municipal Band liven up the crowd, ditto with students of the schools. As you exit out of the school, feel very secured because elements of the Philippine National Police - Special Action force surround the area with their high powered arms.
The highlight of the event, of course, is the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon by Gov. Casimiro Ynares III, Mayor Wilfredo Robles, and officials of the Department of Education. that paved the way for the formal opening of the school.
Nestled below a mountain, the one-storey, six room Ynares type building is now the home of 91 students, from freshemen to junior high school levels. Three teachers mold the mind of these Pinugay residents: Mary Ann Teodoro, Leody Manlangit and Nerissa Dalumpines who also serve as the school’s teacher in charge.
In his speech before local and education officials, students and parents, Ynares said that while the provincial government funded the construction of the building, people should be thankful to God for the blessings. “Huwag po nating kalimutan na ang programa o proyekto tulad ng nasa harapan natin ngayon ay hindi po galing sa inyong lingkod at sa ating punong bayan o sa ating punong barangay. Napakalapalad po namin na kami ay naging instrumento lamang sa pagpapatayo ng mga proyekto tulad ng schoold building. Kung meron po tayong dapat palakpakan, ito po ay ating Panginoon,” he said.
He also recognized the vital role teachers ang parents play in guiding the students. Referring to students, he said that they are lucky for having the full support of the local government in uplifting their lives. ”Samantalahin ninyo ang katatayuan ninyo at masuwerte kayo na meron kayong mga magulang, mga guro at mga kaibigan na gumagabay sa inyo, na walang ibang hinangad kundi ang inyong magandang kinabukasan,” the younger Ynares said.
For her part, Baras National High School principal Mercedita Cu thanked the government for supporting the education department. “Dalawang buwan lamang po ay tinapos na ang ating building. Kaagad-agad po ay gusto nang pabasbasan ng ating governor para magamit na. Yung ibang eskuwelahan ay hindi pa naitataya pero aprubado na ang kanilang papel. Sa atin, nauna na ang ating building.
Fr. Efren Jimenez blessed the building.

nais ko sana na ipaabot sa gobyerno na pakibilisan ang pagpapagawa ng kalsada papuntang malalim,bali-balita kasi na me aksidente na nangyari last august o september kasi madulas daw ang daan.nahihirapan ang mga students,teachers at commuters sa malalim,naglalakad sila sa maputik na daan.wag na natin pang hintayin na may mangyari pang aksidente bka masunod ang mga students.nranasan narin namin ang ganung situation nung nag-aaral pa kmi jan.kya sana pakibilisan ang paggawa ng daan.

I am proud of this officials. As far as I know that education is a future cure for a good town but I also know that maintaining health and cure of poor sick people is a priority in our small town. I want also to see project like regular garbage/refuse collection and having a public health center especially in far and isolated place of Baras.
The last time I saw Baras; it is so dirty and most of the street are flooded with sewer and garbage every corner. The streets are so narrow that only tricyle can better fit, provincial road (rizal st) is just like my driveway in my garage.
I hope I can see more improvement in the future.
Go Baras, make our small town the cleanest in Rizal province!!!
