Don Bosco Academy Bacolor expresses its utmost gratitude for having the privilege of being a part of the Student Leaders Assembly 2025. Rising from the ashes of the 1995 lahar and re-establishing its new site last 2017 and now our journey through ‘JUANWAY continues, where different DB settings of the Philippine North Province (FIN) gather and unite as one, stands as a living testament to resilience and a legacy forged through unity, marking a proud chapter in our history. Through the voices of Bosconians from different settings that echo across the campus, we express our unyielding spirit as servant leaders, carrying with us the indomitable will to collaborate and to serve.
It was more than just an event; it was a mission to rise, to lead, and to serve with every ounce of purpose within us leaders. As we always say “Luctor Et Emergo, I struggle. I win”.
Viva Don Bosco!
This year's Student Leaders' Assembly, themed Juanway: Juan Journey for the Young Leaders of Tomorrow, has sparked so much joy in all of us. Don Bosco Canlubang extends its deepest gratitude to every setting for making another SLA both successful and enjoyable. Each year reminds us of the importance of having a community of people, just like us, who support us and continue to keep the flame of passion burning within us as student leaders. We see how bonds grow stronger through the years. Though time passes and venues change, we remain united in our mission to serve wholeheartedly.
Caritas Bosconians showcased their camaraderie, creativity, and confidence in this year’s SLA—from winning activities like Bingo, presenting unique cheers, and embodying the qualities of good leaders, to serving with passion and dignity in JUANWAY servant-leadership.
For us delegates from Don Bosco Mabalacat, the 2025 Student Leadership Assembly was an eye-opening experience that went beyond what we expected. The sessions were not only informative but also deeply engaging, allowing us to reflect on what it truly means to be student leaders in our community.
We appreciated how the activities encouraged us to step outside our comfort zones. Through team-building exercises and group discussions, we learned to listen more attentively, work more collaboratively, and recognize that leadership is not about being at the center, but about uplifting others. Each session challenged us to think about the responsibility that comes with influence and the importance of leading with empathy and purpose.
What inspired us most was the sense of belonging to something bigger. Meeting fellow Bosconian leaders from other schools reminded us that we are part of a larger mission — to embody the values of Don Bosco and bring them into our own contexts. This unity strengthened our drive to serve and lead with humility.
As the host school, we felt honored to welcome young leaders from each Don Bosco setting across the North Province of Luzon. More than just organizing, it gave us the chance to live out the Salesian spirit of hospitality, service, and joy. The experience affirmed our own growth as leaders and motivated us to continue creating spaces where others can learn, connect, and be inspired.
Each color of the rainbow represents Don Bosco’s brilliance and uniqueness, coming together to form something greater. As the colors of the rainbow merge into one, they become white—shining brightly, reflecting how we stand out the most when united, and how we can be pathfinders, lighting the dark and uncertain road ahead. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have journeyed with us through our own Juanway. What began as a gathering of seven settings has become a single path walked by many young leaders, led by one heart. This year, the Student Leaders Assembly encapsulates the essence of traveling: PASAPORTE, BAGAHE, at BIYAHE.Gaya ng isang pasaporte, ang bawat Don Bosco Setting ay may sariling pangalan at pagkakakilanlan. Hinanda ang mga bagaheng naglalaman ng mga aral at kuwento ni San Juan Bosco, at sumabak sa isang paglalakbay.

In this year’s SLA, Don Bosco Technical College was fortunate to be one of the participants. Student leaders from various Don Bosco settings were able to showcase their upright leadership, cooperative teamwork, and creative abilities with one another. It was a true inspiration to witness such passion and dedication from our youth. Thank you for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside such remarkable peers. We are deeply grateful for this experience and the memories we've made together. Our student leaders look forward to applying these valuable lessons within our own school community.
Gratitude is extended to Don Bosco Mabalacat for hosting this year’s Student Leaders Assembly (SLA). The two-day event was both engaging and memorable, with especially impressive yells and AVPs from the other Don Bosco schools. The organizers executed a stellar job, delivering standout graphics and thoughtfully designed activities. The event was clearly well-prepared and successfully created lasting positive impressions.
