2015 Junior and Senior Promenade

It was indeed a night to remember. Last February 26, 2015, secondary learners of Payatas center from second and third batch gathered together to their much-awaited event, - The JS Prom. The theme for this year is “Starry Night”. We know that every child has innate capacity to show how good they are and like stars, it will definitely brighten up in the midst of uncertainty and darkness. They have their own unique colors that shine our soul and if we put them in the right path with one mission, they can create a beautiful constellation that can also inspire others.

Accreditation & Equivalency Exam

The ALS Accreditation & Equivalency Test is a multiple choice paper and pencil test. The test is designed to measure the competencies of those who have not finished either the formal elementary or secondary education and enrolled and completed the 10 months program of Alternative Learning System. Passers of this test are given a certificate/diploma (which bears the seal and the signature of the Department Secretary) certifying their competencies as comparable to graduates of the formal school system. Hence, they are qualified to enroll in high school (for elementary level passers) and to enroll in college (for secondary level passers). 

Church Visitation

Church Visitation was held in preparation for the Accreditation and Equivalency Examination of the learners. We gathered all the learners for them to prepare themselves physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Most of the learners attended this activity beside of those who are not catholic, but they also attended their spiritual fellowship in their own congregation. This was held in Sto Niño Tondo Church for it was the best and accessible church for the learners.

The Road To A Better Future

It says in one quote of Lily Tomlin, “The road to success is always under construction”. True enough, in gaining successes we should always work hard, put our passion and raise our spirits to become a good contributor of our nation. Last January 25, 2015, the ALSA-BUHAY Payatas learners took their way towards brighter future. This is the day they have all waiting for, the day that will set the conclusion of their almost one year studying and learning under the foundation – the Accreditation and Equivalency Examination.
