The Ruiz Chronicles

Lights, Camera, Action!

To our best director / bise presidente, may you continue to shine even brighter as you embark on this new adventure! Never forget that the RUIZ family is here to support you, and always be by your side no matter what. Happy Birthday, Direk!

Charmingly sweet, and beautiful.

You are the answer to every question we utter. Remember that you always have us, the Ruiz family, behind your back. Happy birthday, our lucky Charm!

You have this never-ending energy that makes those around you dance with enthusiasm, too. Happy birthday, Jerine. Our Xi, our sunshine!

Rolling in 3,2,1…

Thank you very much.

We would like to thank you all for meeting us in the afterglow. Our deepest love, and gratitude. Every emotion felt during the film showing—the shared laughter, kilig, and tears—made all our efforts worthwhile.

When we hear your good feedback, that's when we know that our dark days are gone. Just like Earah, we are also enveloped with love, peace, and happiness. That’s when our night, and days started to sparkle once again.

To those who received the limited edition key-chain, we hope that it made a mark on you, and also to those who didn’t.

In life, you will face various challenges, you will shed tears, and you will break into these tiny little pieces. And that will make you start to wonder if the small taste of happiness is really worthwhile after all of the pain you have felt.
That will make you question yourself: “Kaya mo pa ba? ”

And hopefully, like Earah, we can all make it through these. Let us all say...

“Kakayanin pa…
Lagi’t-lagi,
Para sa sarili,
Para sa pamilya,
At para sa kaniya…”

Mayroong kinilig, may tumawa, at may umiyak. A roller-coaster ride of emotions indeed! Sana lahat sa’yo lang ang tingin hano, Earah?

Ikaw, ano’ng kuwentong “dagitab” mo?

Dagitab (Official Trailer)

Minsan ay mapapatanong ka na lang sa sarili mo kung, “Kaya mo pa ba?“

At ang tanging magiging sagot mo na lamang ay, “Kakayanin—kakayanin pa…para sa pamilya.”

***

Bigo, lito, at ‘di na alam kung pa’no…
Pa’no muli mag-aalab ang dagitab ng kahapon?
Pa’no maiibalik ang tamis nito?

Magliliyab pa kaya itong muli?
O, ‘di na…’di na muli?

He does these “annoying” stunts, but you’ll surely feel his love, support, and care on the inside. Happy birthday, Mang Kurteng! May you continue to grow—more beautifully.

Sa abo ng gabi’y
‘Di makausad,
Ngunit sa alapaap—
Ay mayroong liwanag.
Sumisiklab;
Nagliliyab ang dagitab.

“The whole place was dressed to the nines, and we were dancing, dancing, dancing—like we’re made of starlight. “ - T.S ✨

The SDNTS Encampment 2023 will always have a special place in our hearts, despite the disruptions. We were kids, dancing, singing, and wilding.

What a marvelous day, and the best night! Indeed, this is the season of love and giving! Christmas is here! 🩷

Summer went away…

And, on November 17, 2023, the hard work of the students at 11-Ruiz has paid off. The blood, the sweat, and the tears are all worth it.

Congratulations, 11-Ruiz, albeit a little late.
What an excellent job!

May we continue helping each other grow and learn from our mistakes. We will be better, and we will always be by each other’s sides. Because a section that supports one another remains together! 🤍

Just like how Gary V's song "'Di Bale Na Lang," goes, "Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa, ‘di bale na lang kaya ♪♪♪," we were genuinely unaware of whether we could really make it pa!

To those who have received honors, congratulations! And to those who have not, congratulations still! Walang madaling strand. Padayon, ka-STEMS, and others!

Bawi us next quarter! 🤍

You got our heartbeat skipping down 16th Avenue! Happy birthday, our sweet Kaye! May this year be sweet to you, like cinnamon. Trust Him, and you will be surely living it!

You have that James Dean daydream look in your eye, setting the tone for a day as unique and charming as you are. We wish you a happy birthday, our math master!

No , just hoping for pure luck! 💛

May we all pass our first quarter with high grades, with the lightest hue of the spectrum—YELLOW. And also our silent battles which no one knows about.

Just like our favorite quote says, “Two footprints on the sand," meaning you are never alone. Godbless us!

We’ll end this quarter with optimism, energy, and joy just like what the yellow pigment signifies. 🫡

Mark Kevin, you does it so well. Tall, and handsome as hell. And you surely have the ultimate rizz. Happy birthday to the baddiest b(æ) in Ruiz!

Spike with Glory! Palo kung palo, kuha kung kuha.

Mula sa konkreto—ang masisikap, masisipag, at mati-tiyagang manlalaro ng Women and Men Volleyball Team ng Sto. Domingo National Trade School ay nagpakita ng angking determinasyon at lakas upang maiuwi ang korona sa paaralang sinisinta. At sa kanilang pagsusumikap—sa wakas ay nakamit nila ang kanilang minimithi.

Isang maligaya, at puno ng pagmamahal na pagbati! Ang tagumpay na ito ay nag-iwan ng marka sa konkreto; nakatatak at hindi na mababago. Isa itong makasaysayang yugto para sa paaralan, sapagkat ngayon lang muli nakamit ang korona matapos ang mahabang panahon.

Hanggang sa huli; ang mga manlalaro ay nagpakita ng tatag at determinasyon sa larong kanilang minamahal, dala-dala ang pangalan ng kanilang paaralan. Two footprints in the sand! Ipagpatuloy ninyo ang pagdadala ng karangalan sa ating paaralang sinisinta.

"One heart, one love, one destiny.” - Al-leoven Gomez.

You make the corniest jokes, though, in the end, they still make us smile. May your heart be filled with joy. Happiest birthday, our dear Al-leo.

We, the Ruiz family, love you!

Pak-Plakado: Traders? Tunay na Panalo!

Ang mga mag-aaral ng Sto. Domingo National Trade School ay nagpakita ng angking husay at galing sa kanilang mga piling-larang.
O, tunay ngang kay sarap pagmasdan kapag lahat ay aktibong nanonood, nakikilahok, at nagbibigay-pugay sa ating paaralang hirang.

Isang matamis na pagbati! Pagbati sa mga mag-aaral na nagpaligsahan, at nagpakita ng kanilang natatanging kakayahan, dedikasyon, at sigasig sa kompetisyon ng palakasan habang dala at kinakatawan ang karangalan ng kani-kanilang paaralan.

Padayon, Traders!
