Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Jubilee Christian Academy. This is flight JCA-2023. The local time is 12pm, Philippine Standard Time. For your safety, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate. Our teachers are on-board and here to guide us. Let’s get ready for take off and get to know our crew members better!

This year, we asked the following questions:

If you didn't work as an educator, what career would you have pursued?  Our teachers’ answers to this question is found in In-flight _____. 

What is your philosophy in life?

What is your most favorite memory while working in JCA?

What advice do you want to give your students for them to be able to achieve their goals?

Jubileans know that going to Robinsons Magnolia basically guarantees seeing a schoolmate. Ever since its opening in 2012, RobMag has been teeming with Jubileans. The mall is considered a prime meeting place for elementary and high school students because it is near both JCA campuses. Across the years, there are certain Jubilean “rituals,” so to speak, that developed. Honestly, all Jubileans are probably already aware of these. While the so-called “rituals” Jubileans often do at RobMag are very familiar to them, teachers, parents, and other staff might not know exactly what draws almost the entire student population to the well-established mall, much less what they plan on doing.

Since the beginning of time, stars have been associated with hope and renewal but what if these stars were to disappear? Is there no longer space for ambitio n and change? These images provide a glance of the night sky, a black canvas, with no stars visible due to light pollution. 

Light pollution has immense unpleasant effects on our planet earth and its people such as disturbed ecosystems and health problems. It is our hope that these images move you to reduce the usage of unnecessary light to protect our planet and our human health. Because while stars manifest aspiration, light pollution exhibits disruption. An act for the Earth is a star for the eye.
