SAN FRANCISCO, AGUSAN DEL SUR — In a significant move to initiate preparations for the much-anticipated 2025 Alumni Homecoming, representatives of Batch 2000 of Fr. Urios High School/Mt. Carmel College met with School President Rev. Fr. Gabriel D. Dolotina, O.Carm. on August 8, 2025, at the Office of the President.

During the meeting, Batch 2000 presented their preliminary plans and vision for the upcoming homecoming, which is set to take place on December 27, 2025. The group also outlined their commitment to organizing a meaningful and inclusive event that welcomes all alumni—from the school's earliest graduates to its most recent.

Fr. Dolotina expressed full support for Batch 2000, affirming the administration's willingness to collaborate closely with the lead batch. He assured the organizers that the school will provide the necessary assistance, including access to alumni records to help reconnect with former students across generations.

"We are looking forward to an event that brings together the entire Carmelian family," said one of the batch representatives. "This is not just a celebration for Batch 2000, but for all those who have walked the halls of Fr. Urios High School and Mt. Carmel College."

Batch 2000 is currently mobilizing its members and volunteers to finalize the event program and advocacy efforts. They have announced plans to unveil the full lineup of activities in the coming weeks and are calling on fellow alumni to actively participate in the preparations.

The next organizational meeting is scheduled for September 2025, with the date to be finalized based on the availability of the majority of the team.

As the countdown begins, Batch 2000 is determined to make the 2025 Alumni Homecoming a celebration to remember—one that honors the legacy of the institution and strengthens the bonds among its alumni community.

SAN FRANCISCO, AGUSAN DEL SUR — In anticipation of the upcoming 3rd College Alumni Homecoming, alumni officers and batch representatives gathered last August 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Titus Brandsma Center to discuss preparations for the much-awaited alumni gathering titled "Panagtapok," scheduled on October 18, 2025, in conjunction with the school's Foundation Anniversary.

One of the key points discussed during the meeting was the formal registration of the Mt. Carmel College Alumni Association with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move aims to establish the organization as a legal entity, enabling it to operate officially and enjoy the legal rights and benefits of a registered association.

To support the registration process, the group agreed to collect a contribution of PHP 3,000 per batch, with a deadline set on the day of the homecoming, October 18, 2025. The funds will be used to cover expenses related to the SEC registration and other legal requirements.

"This step will not only legitimize our organization but also allow us to expand our programs and support for the school and fellow alumni," one officer said during the meeting.

With a total of 24 batches expected to attend, organizers are optimistic that this year's "Panagtapok" will be both memorable and meaningful, highlighting the continuing spirit of unity and support among Mt. Carmel College alumni.

Further details about the event program, registration, and logistics will be announced in the coming weeks.
