It literally took countless rehearsals, planning sessions, trips to Divisoria, and “secret practices” to make our Velada as successful as it was. But it was a fun and joyful ride throughout because of the generosity and perseverance of a core group of girls.

.

Leading our Dream Team is Monette Quiogue, the brains behind our Velada, whose talent and hard work shone with every strike of her keyboard and click of her mouse. Monette put into 3 words how we felt about our Assumption education: Power of Plaid! She also tirelessly prepared all collaterals, articles, compiled photos and write-ups from all the girls. Monette certainly holds the record for the one who slept the least and the one who endeared herself to all. Still ahead for her is the daunting task to publish our Souvenir Program by December which she has already started on with vigor and excitement. Tina Henson, our star performer, was one of the first to dive in deep into all Velada preparations. She made sure we had rehearsal rooms, chic and cheap costumes, and showed us HOW to dance! Natalie Manalo-Dalupan kept us all organized and on-track with her high attention to detail. She also made sure that we started our day right by arranging a moving and solemn Holy Mass. Angelica Cervantes-Dychiao had the most headaches as Over-all Chair of Velada Day. She patiently coordinated all details among the many sponsors and the school administration to ensure that everything went like clockwork.

It took a village to make our Velada a success. Each girl truly contributed in her own special and unique way. I would like to especially mention the following batchmates who, from Day 1, embraced the Velada preparations with great enthusiasm and verve! Carmella Gana, Gina Torres-Evangelista, Mia Tambunting-Padilla, Nini Honorio-Lacson, Mia Paterno-Rodriguez, Lia Lesaca, Barbie Torres, Loudette Roman-Tanjuatco, Lynet Villa-real, Valerie Mayor-Sotto, Menchit Aldeguer-Fajardo, Michelle Henson-Tanjuatco, Becky Escalona-Pio de Roda and Pia Barbin-Sycip. These girls rallied, charmed and cajoled their respective classmates to raise funds, participate and make the most of our 25th year Jubilee. Proof of this is the fact that we only had 40 girls during our first rehearsal in August but were over 90-strong on Velada Day!
