Former students of MDPS from different batches gathered together once again in their beloved alma mater last November 22, 2008 for the 1st Grand Alumni Homecoming.
The affair started with a Holy Mass presided by Fr. Joselito Ortega, CRSP. The alumni then held the election of officers and batch representatives for their association.
The dinner-program followed, emceed by Angelica Hementera (GS ’97, HS ’01), and Seniors Jean Kyle Vergel de Dios and Sara Abigail Halal.
Sr. Ruby Diva, ASP gladly welcomed the alumni in the opening remarks. Afterwards, they viewed an audio-visual presentation (AVP) which reminisced their times MDPS. The AVP shooting and editing was facilitated by Bon Salas (GS ’95), Charmina Castro (GS ’96, HS ’00), Fatima Dumalagan (GS ’97, HS ’01) and their friends Arvin Dauz and Paolo Vergara.
After that, selected Seniors ‘09 performed their song and dance numbers. Also singing in separate performances were Jedelin Bautista (HS ’07; 3rd yr) who is a finalist of Pinoy Idol-Singapore, Erika Aranas (GS ’01) and Rafael Remo (GS ’95).
