The program began with a solemn prayer, the singing of the National Anthem, and inspiring messages from Ms. Jona Rose Demanarig, SHS Principal and OIC of CMDI Buenavista Campus, and Teacher Lot of Manapa Day Care Center. Following this, food and snacks were distributed to all participants, energizing everyone for the festivities ahead.
The event was filled with joy and excitement as games and surprises brought smiles and laughter to all attendees. Students from CMDI Buenavista Campus added a touch of magic with heartfelt performances, serenading the crowd with their talent and passion. The highlight of the day was the much-anticipated gift-giving, where each child received toys, school supplies, fruits, and drinks.
The celebration concluded with a memorable photo session beside the beautifully adorned Christmas tree and the iconic Cabeza De Buenavista logo, capturing the joy and togetherness of the community.
