Dear Fellow Notre Dame Alumni, Generals, and Friends,

As we celebrate the joy of Christmas and welcome the promise of a New Year, I extend my warmest greetings to each one of you—wherever you may be in the world. I share this message not only as President, but together with the members of the Board of Directors of the Notre Dame Schools of General Santos City Alumni Association International, Inc.

Christmas reminds us of the values that Notre Dame has instilled in us: faith in God, compassion for others, service with humility, and excellence in all that we do. These values continue to bind us together as one Notre Dame community, beyond borders and generations.

May this season be a time of gratitude—for the friendships we have built, the formation we received, and the shared identity that continues to shape who we are. As we enter the New Year, may we move forward with renewed hope, unity, and commitment to give back to our alma mater and to the communities we serve.

On behalf of the officers and the Board of Directors of the Notre Dame Schools of General Santos City Alumni Association International, Inc., we thank you for your continued support, involvement, and pride in being true Notre Damians.

May the light of Christ fill your homes with peace, your hearts with joy, and the coming year with good health, purpose, and abundant blessings.

A blessed Christmas and a hopeful New Year to all.

Warm regards,

Orman Ortega Manansala

President
