Comments from Graduated Students (Batch 2010)

Fr: Michael Camacho
When I graduated from Anima Christi Center in March 2010, I had mixed feelings – happy because I am moving to college but sad because I will miss the school which has been my parents’ major partner in molding me. I will miss all the exciting events – Festival of Arts, field trip, and the sportsfest which allowed us to compete in a healthy way.
Our class adviser, Teacher Venis was like a big sister to me, who loved and accepted me despite my numerous offenses. Thank you, Teacher Venis for all the love, and care.
I was grade 1 when I started in Anima and at that time my parents felt hopeless about me. But Mrs. Ochoa, our Directress assured my mom I will be okay and true enough – after 10 years of patient teaching and loving from Anima, I am now a much better person. That is the magic of Anima - it is the Big Torch of Hope that lights the way of students like me.

Before I moved to Anima Christi Center, I was not doing very well in some of my subjects and I was also very unhappy because I did not have friends.
But my Anima Christi classmates and teachers changed all that! I developed my social skills and began to enjoy the friendship of all my classmates. School work became easy because teachers taught the lessons well and simplified them when we had difficulty. I really feel I grew up a lot in Anima, and I have to say Thank you to all my classmates and teachers who made this possible.


Fr: Paolo Holmes
I will never forget the love and care that the Anima Christi teachers gave me. They pushed us to realize our potentials, / pushing us to finish our homework, modules, projects, and seatwork. Inside the classroom they would be firm and outside the classroom, they would give words of advice and even tell us funny jokes. In all our dealings with our teachers, they related to us as persons, as individuals with a need for encouragement and honest assessment. Thank you teachers!

March 28, 2010 was a great day….I received my high school diploma – a long-awaited day! I feel so happy and proud of my achievement…This would not have been possible if I did not enroll in Anima Christi Center – a school of caring teachers who inspired us all to give our best and not to be afraid to accept the academic challenges. Thanks to all of you – I am a very, very happy and proud graduate!


Fr: Benjo Mundin
Eight years ago, I was apprehensive about moving to Anima Christi Center. But after 8 wonderful years, I graduated from high school! It was a dream come true because I never thought I would indeed graduate….I thank all my teachers who have made it possible for me to realize my potentials. They encouraged and applauded me even in my small achievements. Thank you again for inspiring me to be courageous and try to give my best.


Fr: Rosco Bailon
I miss Anima Christi Center! I has been my school since grade 1; that’s a total of 10 years… The 10 years that I have spent in Anima is full of good memories. Next to my home, Anima is the place where I feel cared for and genuinely appreciated even with my misgivings.
I thank my teachers for their genuine acts of care and affection. I feel that I was able to show true appreciation to my classmates and friends because they also showered with care.


Fr: Patrick Francisco
I shall forever be grateful to the founders and teachers of Anima Christi Center. They have been very supportive and patient with me during those years when I struggled with school work. Aside from book lessons, they have taught me how to be organized, responsible and courageous in facing realities in life. Seven years in Anima Christi Center (I started there in grade 4) have indeed produced many good things – believing in myself and my ability to cope with school work, my social skills, and a positive attitude.

Fr: Emer Legaspi
To my teachers in Anima Christi, thank you so much for molding me into a better person. Despite all my motional outbursts and rule defiance sometimes, you have steadily guided me and taught me.
