FBHS Joins Nationwide Tree Planting
by Brandon Remitar

Fort Bonifacio High School (FBHS) partook in the simultaneous tree planting activity of the Department of Education called 236,000 Trees - a Gift for the Children on December 6, Wednesday.

School administrators, teachers, and members of student organizations such as the Citizen (school publication) and the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) worked together to plant various kinds of trees inside the school premises.

"May tatlong bagay na dapat nating gawin bago mahimlay, one is to marry and have a child, two is to write a book of your own, lastly is to plant at least one tree," Social Studies Department Head Mr. Rizal Cantiller said.

[There are three things we should do before kicking the bucket-- one is to marry and have a child, two is to write a book of (our) own, (and) lastly is to plant at least one tree.]

A total of 30 trees were planted during the event.

SSG Sets Off Annual Club Fair
by Dylan Legaspi

The Supreme Student Government of Fort Bonifacio High School (FBHS), with the purpose of unifying the students of the school and showcase the innovative projects and diverse endeavors of each student organization, held a club fair on the school grounds on December 1, 2023, Friday.

"Successful para sa'kin (ang club fair) because each organization has the time to bond with each other. At the same time, yung vision and mission ng kanilang organization, naipapakita nila [...] especially to the grade 7," said Mrs. Carmela Barroza, a social studies teacher in FBHS.

[I believe that the club fair was successful, because each organization has the time to bond with each other. At the same time, the vision and mission of each organization was introduced to all the students, especially to those in grade 7.]
