St. Philiomena's Academy's Alumni Batch 64 (a.k.a. SPA Batch 64) and Quesada eTechnologies have finally launched their Essay/Expository Writing Contest! The project was first bared during the Batch 64 first reunion last January, 2009 at Ginofreo and Engracia Quesada's residence and at Paraiso Resort.  And in their mid-year re-union last May 17, 2009, at the Quesadas' residence, the project had kicked-off.

In a presentation that was witnessed by the Batch' s guests from the media, the Batch 64 president, Gin. S. Quesada, narrated how he came up with the project which was published in the Pozorrubio Online (www.pozorrubio.ph) since the middle part of 2008. He related that he mentioned the idea to his batchmates last January, 2009, who were then very optimistic to share in the efforts to bring it to fruition.

Equipped with collapsible sceen, high powered and high-resolution projector that overpowered the light of the day, and a laptop, Gin Quesada explained that the goals of the writing contest was patriotic and Pozorrubian-centric, which goal was also his guiding paradigm since he started creating websites for Pozorrubio in 1999. As the Contest result will benefit Pozorrubians, he thought of sharing with his former classmates the project's development and the privilege to bring benefit to fellow Pozorrubians.

Explained were 2 categories of the writing contest: essay/expository and hymn composition in the dialects. The awarding will be done during the week-long town fiesta in 2010. First prizes will P30,000, second prizes, P20,000; 3rd prizes, P10,000, plus consolation prizes. Considering the fact that there is not enough time to hold the 2 categories, and that it is the Batch' first time to hold a project, he might decide on June 16, 2009 whether to postpone the hymn composition to a later date. He said, he would like to see what happens with the implementation of first category contest first. Though, if possible, he would like it started now so the Batch can spearhead the advocacy of the revival of the Pangasinan dialect in the town.
