The Tiglawigan National High School Alumni Associati

The Tiglawigan National High School Alumni Association, Inc. has already started the construction of its one-storey alumni building inside the school area last August 16.

            According to Erwin Mabugat, president of the TNHSAA, the project costs about P1,000,000.

            As the Association’s pet project, the TNHS Alumni Center is funded by the individual alumni who have the big heart for their Alma Mater, their fellow alumni and the students who are the would-be members.

            The Alumni Center will have four (4) divisions. These will include the alumni library, alumni museum, alumni conference room and alumni office.

            The divisions, Mabugat said, will be named after the project’s major donors. They are Nona Doromal Mabugat-Hortillo, 1986-1987 class salutatorian (Alumni Museum) and Amarie Villarino Chavez, 2002-2003 class salutatorian (Alumni Conference Room).

            The Alumni Library and Alumni Conference Room are still available for interested benefactors. Each costs P50,000 donation.

            In his message during the groundbreaking program on July 25, Mabugat said that the project will become “an ultimate symbol of alumni’s unity, cooperation and love to our Alma Mater”.

            “So long the building stands here, the Association lives and continue to live”, he added.

            The guests were councilor Juan Musa Jr.; barangay captain Manuel Escala; Ronilo Tinio, schools division supervisor; Dindo Ampalla, former TNHS principal and now the DRVFGMNHS principal; Julius Delallave, PTCA president; Kymbert Martinez, SSG president; Jordan Sun, consultant for councilors Musa and Owen Desuyo; the City Media Bureau; the faculty and staff; officers and members from various batches; and the students./*
