Proclamation of Batch Name: KISLAP

Symbols Used: 1. Lighted Candle It takes only a single lighted candle to enlighten a dark room. The light of our very selves is meant to be shared to others to enlighten them. 2. Bell Like a bell, our little voices could be heard in vastness of the country. 3. The Scroll The Roman Empire used scroll to promulgate decrees. Ancient formal documents and correspondence were also written in scrolls meant to last for long because of its sturdy material. The scroll is our symbol for our long lasting commitment. The 81 faces (of delegates) in the scroll symbolizes our effort to make a sturdy, unwavering response to the call of our commitment. We hand on the scroll to the Founders of AYLC as a sign of our appreciation to the legacy they are making through AYLC. They also serve as witness to our commitment.

ABOUT THE BATCH NAME

KISLAP We believe that change cannot be done in a snap of a finger. It is an arduous process that could take time. Thus, we commit ourselves as Kislap as sparks that will try to ignite a fire first in our very selves, then on our own schools and community. In due time, we hope that this fire would flare up the whole country; a fire that would burn the evils of society and that would change our ways for a better future.

OUR SEVEN COMMITMENTS

Significance: Seven, in the old scriptural tradition, based on the Hebrew numerology means PERFECTION. KISLAP does not promise to make the world perfect but we promise to perfect our goals by constant action Practice makes perfect. Thus, we create our own little effort to contribute to the communal effort of perfection in the community.
