FRIDAY, April 1, 2022 - In celebration of the Home Economics Week, the TechVoc Learning Area of the Letran Senior High School Department, and the Letran Le Toque Club & Letran SHS Creative Hub hosted the HE Week 2022 Culminating Activity via Google Meet and Facebook Livestream.

With the theme, “Building resilient homes and families,” the facilitators came up with the HE Challenge, wherein students showcased their skills and talents in table napkin foldings, mocktail mixing, and coffee making: latte art.

The event started with the opening prayer, followed by the singing of the national anthem and the mission and vision of the Colegio. Soon after, Ms. Angeline Dy, Le Toque Club Adviser, was called on by the hosts, Ms. Reyven Gonzales and Ms. Louise Roque, to give her opening remarks. “As Brian Herbert said, the capacity to learn is a gift, the ability to learn is a skill, the willingness to learn is a choice,” she quoted.

Furthermore, the mechanics and criteria for judging were told, and the panel of judges was also introduced. The winners of the HE challenge were then announced by the hosts. They started with announcing the top 3 of the table napkin folding, wherein Ms. Shaira Cayanan bagged the first place, followed by Mr. Marcus Songco and then Mr. Jolo Santiago.

The winners for the Tiktok mocktail mixing followed, where Mr. Achilles Angel Pascua of Florentino Torres SHS scored the highest with his “Blushy Berries” drink, followed by Ms. Yasmin De Jesus with her citrus-inspired summery drink and Mr. Adrian Ocillos with “Apple Breeze”.

On the other hand, the top 3 of the coffee-making latte art challenge were announced in which Mr. Anthony Beronque grabbed the top spot, followed by Mr. Jolo Santiago as the second placer, and lastly, Mr. Adrian Ocillos as the third placer.

After the announcement of the winners, Ms. Rico Louisse Pagulayan, a Le Toque member, performed an intermission number.

This was followed by the closing remarks of Mr. Jerry Escultura, TechVoc Learning Area Coordinator and Letran SHS Creative Hub Club Adviser. The event successfully ended as the Himno of the Colegio was sung.
