Philippines – Don Bosco FIS hosts a Health Seminar and Vocations Awareness Program
Cebu, Philippines – October 2024 – On 11 October the Salesians gathered at the Don Bosco Technical College in Cebu (DBTC), AVR, for a seminar on health and well-being aimed at maintaining physical health. Dr. Floro Camenforte, Jr., discussed the three leading causes of disease and provided practical ways to improve health. In his closing statement, Dr. Camenforte reminded the Salesians of John 13:17, “If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them,” encouraging them to put into practice what they have learned. The Salesians actively participated in the seminar, particularly during the space dedicated to dialogue. In the afternoon, the Salesians took part in a vocation campaign to inspire Bosconians to explore their own vocational paths. After the campaign, a friendly football match was held between Salesians, Novices and Aspirants and the Varsity players U17 and U19 of the DBTC. This activity helped to build the spirit of community and strengthen the ties between Salesians and Bosconians in the playground. The event was organised by the Formation Commission, led by Fr Adrian Mendoza, SDB.
