Manila High School Batch 75 Gives Back

School alumni have different ways in thanking its alma mater.  With its "Nangarap, Nagpunyagi at Nagtagumpay" theme, the MHS Batch 75 shared its blessings by donating a brand new set of computer, 90 school bags, 10 pcs. of tote or hand bags and box full of books and reading materials courtesy of the members' "international" counterparts, meaning, those who are residing overseas.

A sense of pride could be felt all throughout the turn-over activity, which include the very important aspect of photo ops for "Facebook", as the said donation is one way for the said batch to thank the public institution which moulded them while helping most of the school's  poor students.


Touring the already old facility which at present undergoes some renovation, the members were brought back in time recalling the teachers, the activities performed and the noticeable changes that has been done.


Initially a school for girls, the Manila High was established in Intramuros during the Spanish period in 1892  and according to "Wikipilipinas" was named Escuela Municipal de Manila. It was renamed to Manila High School  in 1906 after the Americans had taken control of the Philippines.

While one batch of alumni conspicuously plastered its name over its glass-covered bulletin board project which is ready to be turned over to the school, another batch prefers giving monthly allowance to deserving students of its choice.

Truly, a rewarding way of sharing the blessings to the less fortunate as these would ensure the reaping of good harvest and will create a multiplying effect for somehow, these beneficiaries, will also in turn give back.
