LCC Bacolod alumna Dr. Jean Locsin-Ramos, together with her colleagues, classmates and sister, donated school supplies to 431 Night High School students of La Consolacion College Bacolod. The donation, consisting of two notebooks, one writing pad, and one ballpen for each student, was formally turned over to LCC Bacolod President Sr. Flolyn S. Catungal, OSA, and ASOLC Community Coordinator Sr. Regina Cesar, OSA. Faculty members and student representatives witnessed the turnover ceremony.
The school supplies will benefit learners enrolled in the institution’s Night High School Program, which provides an opportunity for young people and working students to complete their secondary education despite economic and personal challenges.
Dr. Locsin-Ramos said the initiative reflects a shared belief that education remains one of the most effective pathways to improve lives and strengthen communities.
“Many of these students continue their studies despite difficult circumstances. Through this simple gesture, we hope to lessen some of their burdens and encourage them to keep pursuing their education. Investing in learners is investing in the future of our city,” she said.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the institution, Sr. Catungal expressed gratitude to the donors for supporting one of the college’s most enduring outreach programs.
“The Night High School is a ministry of hope. Every notebook, every pad of paper, and every pen becomes a tool that helps our students continue their journey toward a better future. We are grateful to Dr. Jean Locsin-Ramos and her colleagues for walking with us in this mission,” she said.
Sr. Regina Cesar highlighted the significance of community partnerships in sustaining educational opportunities for vulnerable sectors.
“What makes this gift meaningful is the spirit behind it. It tells our students that there are people who believe in them and are willing to support their dreams. Acts of generosity like this strengthen the culture of care and solidarity that our Night High School community embodies,” she said.
For more than three decades, the Night High School Program of La Consolacion College Bacolod has opened doors for learners who might otherwise be unable to complete their secondary education, producing graduates who have gone on to become professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
The latest donation underscores how alumni, professionals, educators, and community partners continue to rally behind the program’s mission of transforming lives through education.
