THE INGENOUSUS CLASS
By: Sem. Waldemar B. Castino
I do believe that no matter how simple we are we have our own unique talents. These talents set us apart from the rest and somehow celebrate our individuality. It reminds us that we are unique individuals. However, these talents must be nurtured within us and must be shared to the humanity for the sole purpose of glorifying Him, the giver of all.
Way back in the year 2004, 25 young men were accepted to be a part of the seminary family. Loaded with zest to follow Christ and calibered with talents, they showed to the community their worth. In the eventful moment of their Neophytes Night, they made their best in their showcase of talents. It was such a very wonderful night, full of fun and laughter as the talents of these young men came out to the open. That night was worth remembering because it was such a revelation.
One could spot a promising singing priest in the future in the person of Wit2.. Aside from Wit2 , there were still who were gifted with the voice of an angel and have the capacity to improve: Greg, Waldz, Jessie, Emm, Zai, JM, and Mon. The proof was they were now part of the prestigious chorale in the province, the IHMS Chorale. When it comes to dancing, this class had its bet on Miloy, Wit2, Gary ,Gel, and Mon who could do the moves with their dancing prowess. Moreover, when it comes to theatre arts, specifically in acting, the class had Gary, Chard, Emm, Mon, and Waldz as best actors. . The long list did not end here. Emm, Nardz, Mon, Mart, Greg, Jul, Jovic, and Sabine could handle comical ingenuity that could tickle anyone to death. There were also those who were gifted with the hosting stint such as Chard, Waldz, Miloy, Ajet, Darwin, and Emm. Nardz and Darwin can deliver a balak so well. And the musicals could be done with the guitar accompaniment of Ajet, Flor, Greg, Nardz, and JM. I guess nobody else in the seminary could do the best I drums than Romar. As the program ended, the class had proved their worth.
In one of his homilies, Rev. Fr. Martin C. Lupiba, the rector praised the class for their being talented. Since then, the class adopted the name “INGENOUSUS”, a Latin adjective, which simply means talented.
As the school year came to a close, Sabine, one of our classmates was evicted, while Dwacks preferred to take a voluntary exit. So the next year, the original batch of 25 was trimmed down to 21 as Mart and Greg were promoted to the 2nd year. On that same remarkable year, the Vicar General of the Diocese of Tagbilaran, Msgr. Cirilo Darunday invested us with the sotana
Since then, we nurtured our talents within us. We also found out that there were some of our classmates who were talented in sports. Take Flor and Miloy. Others also did their best on arts such as Boysen, Gary, Ajet, and MJ. And this class was very proud to have Darwin, the living saint seminarian noted for his being pious and gentle. Academically speaking, this class is very competent with Waldz, Zai , Chard, Ajet, Wit2 , and Emm. And as usual, the school year ended with a smile.
Then the class is now on its third year of existence, but it is very sad to note that another two of the class did not able to join us because of some reasons. In fact, we terribly miss Gel and Jessie. But luckily, two from the regency program joined our class in the person of Florbe, and Rodel. They too are talented individuals. Be it on sports, arts, music and academics.
As we go on with our journey towards fulfilling our dreams for the priesthood, we know that God will always be there to guide our ways and to enlighten our minds. Though we are sure that not all of us will become priest someday but at least we have tried our best to use our God-given talents and faculties for His greater glory. He who is the reason of everything deserves such thing. We know that there are still a lot of trials coming along our way, but we will bravely face it with courage as we continue to unfold our history. At least, we are proud of ourselves that we are once a part of the INGENUOSUS CLASS, who were not self-conceited but devoted individuals for the greater glory of God.
