GAMAY, Northern Samar — The Gamay Central Elementary School Alumni Association (GCESAA) is all set for its 12th Alumni Homecoming on September 12, 2025, ahead of the town’s annual fiesta celebration honoring patron saint Señor San Miguel de Arkanghel on September 14–15.

GCESAA president Adelwisa Lucero-Acebuche, Batch ’78 alumna and currently the Provincial Budget Officer of Northern Samar, said this year’s event carries the theme “Moving Forward Together.”

The day-long program will open with a Thanksgiving Mass at 5 a.m., where the alumni will also serve as novena sponsors.

A light breakfast and town parade will follow, with batches wearing their chosen shirt colors. A short program will then be held, including the presentation of alumni officers and ratification of the association’s constitution and by-laws.

To add excitement, a raffle draw with major and consolation prizes is also lined up. The alumni will likewise recognize living retirees and honor those who have passed with certificates of commendation.

Capping the celebration will be the much-awaited Search for Mr. & Ms. Alumni 2025, whose proceeds will go toward school projects such as supplies, a walkway, and a sound system, as well as future humanitarian missions to be conducted by alumni doctors and dentists.
