Sandy Marie B. Belarmino, a fourth year student at the San Pablo City Science High School emerged as the first place winner in the essay writing contest coordinated by the City Population Office to help celebrate this year National Family Week. The theme is “Fathers and Families. Responsibilities and Challenges, Maabilidad si Dad.” She received a token cash reward of P2,000 provided by Mayor Vicente B. Amante.

Other winners are Peejeh P. Sahagun of Laguna College, second plance and received P1,500-cash reward, and Eric Mae M. Batralo of Santo Angel National High School, third place and received P1,000-cash reward.

The contest was participated by 12 fourth high school students representing 12 institutions providing secondary education in the City of San Pablo.

City Administrator Loreto S. Amante said they opted to sponsor an essay writing contest, because Mayor Vicente B. Amante believes that essay writing contest is a good medium to train the capability to express the feeling and sentiments of the young high school students on any particular subject or theme. It will also help enhance exemplary adherence towards English proficiency, to help achieve the dreams of many to be globally competitive as workers in communication industry, as well as in cultural inter-actions.

Just like the poster-making contest, which is a form of visual arts, Amante hope that the essay writing contest had helped encourage the youth in uplifting their proficiency level in communication arts, that would help them prepares to meet the rigors of college and the academic demands specific to the program to which they intend to purse higher education.

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B. Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece. Probably, Hernandez and then City Engineer Perfecto Reyes were inspired by the figures affixed on the façade of the City Hall Building which symbolizes progress. Sometimes on April of 1961 when then President Carlos Garcia made a...

San Pablo City’s Hagdang Bato

             Nobody knew the number of steps it has:   when it was constructed and by whom,   until Mayor Vicente B. Amante asked his private secretary to actually count the number of steps and copy the wordings on the tablets affixed on the lower part of the park structure.             The Hagdang Bato (concrete stairway) leading to the Sampaloc Lake, which is now a famous local landmark, is now part of the logo or official seal of San Pablo, being the City of Seven Lakes.           It was constructed in November 1915 under the administration of municipal president Marcial Alimario, but many, including the youth and technical personnel of the local engineering office, simply look it for granted.  Nobody knew the number of steps it has, when it was constructed and by whom, until Mayor Vicente B. Amante asked his private secreta...
