OCTOBER 1, 1995 ∙ SAN GUILLERMO PARISH CHURCH, BACOLOR, PAMPANGA ∙ Lahar flow from the slopes of Mount Pinatubo, buried the church to half its 12-metre (39 ft) height, prompting more than 50,000 town residents to evacuate to safer grounds in resettlement areas. 📷September 1995 ∙ Yann Arthus-Bertrand

After the volcanic eruption, the town's people painstakingly excavated the altar and the retablo and relocated it under the dome in order for the tall wooden retablo to fit. The retablos niches are filled with centuries old statues which were saved from destruction of the lahar. The citizens of Bacolor carefully excavated the ornately carved main and side altars and restored in its immaculate condition.

By 1995, Bacolor, Pampanga had reclaimed its previous status as elevated land.

DBJ aspirants were just playing Independence Day Games at the football field on that cool Wednesday morning, and then, this pillar of smoke rose through the blue skies…

JUNE 12, 1991 ∙ REAWAKENED AFTER MORE THAN 500 YEARS OF SLUMBER ∙ The volcano's first spectacular eruption sent an ash column 19 km (12 mi) into the through the morning blue skies of the 1991 PH Independence Day.

Mount Pinatubo in the island of Luzon in the Philippines showed signs of imminent eruption early April 1991.

On 12 June 1991 (Philippine Independence Day), its intermittent eruptions began.

Three days after, on 15 June 1991, its most powerful eruption happened. Mount Pinatubo ejected massive volcanic materials of more than one cubic mile and created an enormous cloud of volcanic ash that rose as high as 22 miles into the air and grew to more than 300 miles across, turning day into night over Central Luzon.

“I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.” - 2 Timothy 4:7

A dedicated Salesian educator and a loving mother and wife; no words can describe how beautiful of a soul Ma’am Ann possessed. Throughout her life, she journeyed to the young, for the young, and with the young. She passionately educated numerous batches of Bosconians especially in the field of Science and remained loyal to the mission Don Bosco entrusted to her. Her untiring commitment in giving her best in everything that she does for the love of Don Bosco made her known with her funny personality and motherly figure to the Bosconians. Her humorous jokes, cheerful laughter, and the precious bonds and memories she formed in Don Bosco will and always remain carved within the hearts of every student and teachers alike. She had kept the faith until the end of her life, and she will be forever remembered in our family.

Eternal rest grant unto Mary Ann, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
