The General Parent-Teachers Association (GPTA), along with some former officers, served students and employees from Lyceum of Alabang (LOA), offering them free taho, sorbetes, a photo booth, and face painting in commemoration of the 21st Foundation Anniversary Celebration today, October 22, at the Annex Gymnasium.

Mrs. Lea-Ann Go, the President of the GPTA, stated in an interview with The Spiracle expressing her fulfillment, "Of course, we are happy with the result, although 'di maiiwasan 'yung konting problems on how it was organized. But then, it was fulfilling mostly. If we see the students happy, we are also happy for them."

Without the help of the former officers of the GPTA, Go stated that they wouldn't be able to complete the project thoroughly without their support.

Along with the President, GPTA Secretary Mrs. Monica D. Dimaano said that after the election, the newly elected GPTA officers decided to reiterate and push forward last year's project due to the lack of preparation for the foundation week. 

"Kasi 'yung project namin—after election, wala [pang] 1 week, nagdecide na agad ang GPTA officers na ituloy ang previous projects since nga sobrang mabilis 'yung preparation," she stated.

Dimaano stated that despite the overwhelming process, it was still fulfilling seeing the students and employees full of joy for their service.

"Fulfilling s'ya pero nakakapagod, pero pag nakita mo naman ang mga bata and 'yung ibang employees din kasi pumipila sila. 'Yun po 'yung nagbabalik ng pagod [sa] mga ginawa namin," Dimaano said.

Go mentioned that she was also the previous Treasurer of the GPTA for 2 years before becoming the president of the association.
