Education is a matter of the heart.
Yesterday, October 6, 2025, the Educative Pastoral Community came together as one to celebrate World Teachers’ Day.
The day began with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Fr. Bobby “Mac” Roxas, SDB. Right after, the Bunsod Program commenced, featuring various activities prepared by the students to express their gratitude, appreciation, and love for their educators. During the program, each department presented a special performance where the Bosconians and educators danced, sang, and laughed together.
The celebration concluded in their respective classrooms, where each class held a special program prepared by the class officers to honor their advisers.
It was truly a fun-filled day for everyone, especially for the educators!
HAPPY SALESIAN EDUCATORS AND WORLD TEACHER'S DAY TO ALL EDUCATORS!

Mabalacat City — Don Bosco Academy’s YouthFest Concert held last February 1, 2025, rocked the St. Francis de Sales Auditorium with an unforgettable night of music and youth spirit. Headlining the event was the legendary Parokya ni Edgar, the iconic OPM band known for their timeless hits and signature humor that have captured Filipino hearts for decades.
Joining the powerhouse lineup were today’s rising stars Dionela, Similar Sky, Over October, Sugarcane, and The Ridleys, who each brought their unique sound and energy to the stage. The concert served as one of the highlight events of Don Bosco Academy’s 69th Foundation Days, filling the campus with electrifying performances, nostalgia, and pure Bosconian pride.
Don Bosco Academy successfully celebrated its 69th founding anniversary last January 31, 2025.
Bosconians, let your creativity shine as you compose the official theme song for Don Bosco Academy’s 70th Founding Anniversary, celebrating seven decades of love, service, and hope! 🎶💙💛
