Viva Senor Santo Niño!
Who is the Santo Niño?
He is often depicted as a young boy with curly golden hair, holding in one hand a globe with a cross on top, and a staff in the other while two fingers are held up as if in blessing; and wearing a crown.
He is the Child Jesus, the savior whose love and power encompasses the world in the most profound representation of an innocent child.
How did the devotion to the Santo Niño come about?
COSCA Exterior Fence Blessed
Function and beauty do come together.
In compliance with the city ordinance requiring establishments to provide safe and adequate parking areas for their clients/customers (or in our case, students), COSCA, through the generosity of Congressman and Mrs. George Arnaiz, now enjoys an aesthetically-enhanced facade with the new fencing. The blessing took place on January 12, 2010 with COSCA President Rev. Fr. Enrique Balongag officiating. The honorable Congressman himself and his beauteous wife (a DCC alumna) were present as guests.
