June 1, 2021
Sweet victory in the Lord was how we describe God’s many gifts to us in the past school year (SY 2020-2021). Great is the Lord and worthy to be praised! As March 2020 unfolded, and our students continued to process the many lessons they learned from their enterprise learning visit to Baker’s Counter http://(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Gb94o5pMU&t=429), President Duterte locked down Metro Manila. The school closed so suddenly and there was no time to prepare. Like the rest of the country, we had thought Covid-19 was confined to Wuhan, China.
We spent the first two weeks waiting for the plague to go away, but the lockdown stretched on, and on. By mid-April 2020, we noted that many schools, particularly those overseas, had already moved their schooling online. We had to learn to do this quickly!!! Exploring a number of options was the only way to deal with the reality of OBCCS remaining closed for at least a whole year. Otherwise, our teachers would be out of job, and we would be at a loss what to say to our host of donors, both great and small, who had supported our move to a new community. We had shown our commitment in 2019 by continuing to operate with five teachers and two staff support with only an equal number of paying students! Now, we needed to trust God for how how He would have us serve His people during the pandemic. What was clear was that families needed help in keeping children occupied and learning at home, and not miss a whole year of learning. So we did what God would have us do with the assets we had. We built on several strengths we already had. Naging maagap, pinahalagahan ang angking yaman at naging masigasig kami sa gitna ng mga hamong kinaharap. We saw we had Internet Connection, teachers had one computer or laptop to work with, and we had the curriculum, so we put our basic elearning knowhow to good use. We quickly restructured and connecting ourselves remotely- some in Rodriguez, others in Quezon City, Bulacan and Agusan del Sur for online teaching and learning. Having quickly connected with the DepEd, we reshaped our school calendar in keeping with guidelines for distance learning and learning continuity. By June 2020 we were ready with our revised curriculum for online learning. We explored a number of e-learning platforms and meeting applications. During the first month of the new school year, we used NeoLMS as learning platform, but upon experiencing the convenience of Google Classroom, which was granted for free by Google to the school as a PCNC accredited institution, the Faculty voted to shift to the latter. The parents also confirmed that they found Google classroom more user friendly.
May 2020 | We explored alternative modalities: online, printed modules only, blended, homeschooling, Two teachers resigned. Three teachers remained motivated to proceed with the mission. We reported developments to the members in a General Assembly. We tried to engage other stakeholders to help in the work. |

Construction of Temporary Facility
By end of June 2019, the school finished complying with City Hall and DepEd IVA requirements for our new school. Architect Dan Valenzuela and HLSF Construction (owned by Mr and Mrs Herbert Argosino), both members of the Gospel of Christ Family Church, worked together to equip our facility with 10 classrooms. The DepEd permit allowed us to offer Kindergarten to Grade 7 programs for School Year 2019-2020. The temporary facility was made possible by Mr and Mrs Castillo, former members of the OB Christian Community Church, who strongly believe and support our mission for Christian enterprise education .
Number of Students
This year’s enrolment added a total of 30 students to the list of young people served by OBCCS up to 2020. The total number now stands at 3704 boys and girls we have served since 1987. Among our current 30 students, only 7 are in the paying category, and 23 are on full scholarship as beneficiaries under the Alternative Learning System. It was essential that we continued to operate this year to retain our PCNC donee status, which makes donations to the school 100% tax deductible. Please pray that we will get at least 50 students by July this year. We will limit students to a maximum of 100.
Report on Donations Received
Total cash donations from 2015 January -2020 March PhP 4,525,905.50
Total number of cash donors = 134
It may be noted from the chart below that in the past, particularly in Year 2017, most donations went to school operations because of the steep rise in renting our previous premises in Tandang Sora . In 2017, Rogan Builders donated the funds to obtain the titled property in Amityville. I am happy to report that from 2018 to the present, most donations had gone directly to beneficiaries in the form of scholarships.

OB Christian Community School, Inc. (OBCCS) was formally accredited by Philippine Council For NGO Certification (PCNC) as a donee institution. This was affirmed after PCNC presented the certificate to OBCCS’ Board of Trustees Chairperson Angelita Resurreccion on September 27, 2018, where the certification is valid until September 26, 2021.
In a statement from the school’s official Facebook page, OBCCS said “We passed strict standards of PCNC for good governance, management and accountability… The Lord has heard our prayers, He proves Himself faithful all the time!”
An accreditation from the PCNC is needed in order to become a donee institution, where an NGO such as OBCCS could receive tax-deductible donations from any individual or group that wishes to support the said organization. Applying for accreditation from PCNC takes a long and difficult process, and getting the donee status could give a huge boost in receiving donations to fund the construction of a new school building and provide scholarships to the students.
We encourage everyone to partner with us in prayer and in financial support. You can check our prayer requests from our newsletter. All donations to the school will be counted as tax credits. For donations, you may email us at bot.obccs@gmail.com.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Chinese Proverb
This popular quote expresses our belief in both the importance of education as well as the need for lessons to be practical and relevant. Hence, we ensure that our brand of education responds to the needs of individuals and their community.
OB Christian Community School (OBCCS), a small school in Rodriguez, Rizal, takes part in community development by providing an enterprise-focused education. Even as a small school, OBCCS has endeavored in the last 33 years to have permanent impact on lives of students through its unique, engaging, and practical program.
According to Angelita Resurreccion , the school’s founder, the goal of the school is to reach out to underprivileged children, provide a contextualized and relevant education program, and make Christ known to people through its services .
“Development must be holistic – the family, school, church, and the physical community must work together to develop a better society,” teacher Anji added. “Through OBCCS, we can develop a Christian enterprising society in this community,” she said.
Students are taught to be active participants in community development. The school adopts a curriculum that focuses on teaching Biblical values and entrepreneurship, to complement the core curriculum required by the Department of Education (DepEd). The school is known for its BEST (Building Enterprising Society Today) curriculum, an enterprise education approach which was a product of an action research together with the Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation. Through SERDEF, the school produced learning materials and approaches designed to address the needs of students from urban-poor communities within the context of a basic education program. The idea is to produce young people who know how to learn and excel in any field – whether academics, workplace or enterprise.
This promising school conquered many challenges in the last five years, such as accreditation, infrastructure, management, and financial support. Responses to those challenges resulted in the school’s relocation from Old Balara in Quezon City to Amityville in San Jose, Rodriguez, Rizal The school has had to start from scratch in the new location. Teachers now need to travel from Quezon City to Rizal in order to teach around 30 students, most of whom are in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program. OBCCS is currently praying for provisions towards the construction of a DepEd compliant facility. Once fully DepEd-recognized, the school can concentrate on teaching and contextualizing its curriculum to the reality in Rodriguez .
In conquering the challenges of relocation, the school was blessed with miraculous events since 2015. It obtained accreditation from the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) attesting to the worthiness of our cause to deserve support from the public, as well as obtaining permit extensions from the DepEd NCR. God provided us with generous donors, foremost of which were Rogan Builders, Getz Pharma Corporation, HLSF Construction, Rapha Health and Passion for Perfection. We found an ideal property in Rodriguez, located beside Mt Zion church. We finished building our temporary facility in June, with the help of many friends from different communities who believe in our advocacy. We have committed and dedicated Christians working in the Faculty, led by a functioning Board of Trustees. We thank our numerous individual supporters and donors who made all these possible. Only the teachers are paid at the school, everyone else works on a voluntary basis. We all draw our motivation from God, whose miracles confirmed that the transplanting of our school to Rodriguez was according to His will.
OBCCS continues to live by God’s grace through faithful partnerships with the community, the local church, our teachers, students’ parents, our private sector donors, and friends . We thank the members of Old Balara Christian Community, particularly those who set up the school in order to do unto others what other Christians did to help them follow the way of Jesus. Together, we are fulfilling the vision of building a functioning Christian community that helps through education. It is our dream to serve a thousand students every year in this community, training them in academics (DepEd) and practical life skills (TESDA and Agri-business courses) for building sustainable and resilient families and communities. We have a long way to go as of now.
You can help us educate more young people, particularly those who find going to (and remaining in ) school difficult. Pray for us, promote us to those who can help, volunteer your services, or else donate to supporting our cause.
