Thank you to everyone who contributed to another meaningful and productive week at Brent Baguio:

• IB Learning Beyond the Classroom | October 19. IB Visual Arts | Exploring Baguio’s Creative Community. Our IB Visual Arts students had the opportunity to learn from local artist Clinton Aniversario, whose artist talk offered insights into the creative journey and the role of art in expressing ideas and perspectives. Visits to Sunshine Park, Oh My Gulay, and Ili-Likha further connected students with Baguio’s vibrant artistic heritage. Thank you to Ms. Annelle Veridiano for organizing this enriching experience.

• IB Business Management | Learning from Subisan Dragon Fruit Farm. Our IB Business Management students visited Subisan Dragon Fruit Farm in La Union, where they explored how agriculture, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and tourism come together in a local business. The visit offered a valuable opportunity to see business concepts applied beyond the classroom and appreciate the creativity and determination involved in building an enterprise. Thank you to Ms. Donna Nebrija for facilitating this meaningful learning experience.

Tickets and Important Reminders

Ticket Prices: Adults ₱350 | Students ₱300
Available at: School Bookstore

Each performance has a maximum audience capacity of 250 guests, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Each ticket is valid for one designated performance only. Advance purchases are encouraged, as walk-in tickets will be available only if seats remain.

For those who purchased tickets earlier: All previously purchased tickets remain valid. As students will already be watching Friday’s afternoon performance during school hours, some families may prefer to transfer their Friday tickets to Thursday or select a performance featuring a particular cast.

Our Accounting/Bookstore team will reach out to earlier ticket purchasers to confirm their preferred performance and record any adjustments, subject to seat availability. There is no need to purchase or replace existing tickets.

We also remind all guests to arrive early, observe campus security procedures, and review our Community Guidelines.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our Director, Ms. Geraldine Reyes, Head of Visual and Performing Arts, Dr. Julie Sibucao, and our entire cast, crew, teachers, parents, and support teams.
