We are inviting you to a special morning of reflection and empowerment. We are honored to welcome Ms. Heidi Mendoza, former Commissioner of the Commission on Audit, as our resource speaker.

When: Saturday, February 21, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN

The Last Dance : This photo was taken on December 1, 1941, at the Santa Ana Cabaret, owned by John Canson. The dance hall glowed with Christmas lights and giant parols, setting a festive mood. Many servicemen were enjoying their liberty that night—unaware that in just seven days, Manila would face the devastating Japanese attack that would change history forever.

Sta. Ana church denies city-funded renovation claim in Manila mayor’s 100-day report The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned in Santa Ana, Manila, has called on the city government to clarify a statement in Mayor Francisco “Isko...

‘SISIKAPIN NAMING MAGING TAMA, MALINAW, AT MAGALANG’

The Manila Public Information Office (MPIO) issued a public apology on Saturday following the statement released by the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned in Sta. Ana, Manila, which addressed a “confusing entry” in the mayor’s “First 100 Days Recap” published on October 8, 2025.

In its earlier statement, the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned refuted the report titled “Pagsasaayos ng Sta. Ana National Shrine,” clarifying that the retrofitting of the church was funded entirely by private benefactors, not by the city government.

“Hindi kailanman binanggit o inangkin ni Mayor Francisco 'Isko Moreno' Domagoso na pinondohan ng Pamahalaang Lungsod ang retrofitting ng Shrine, at wala rin ito sa anumang opisyal na press release. Ang kanyang pahayag sa First 100 Days Report ay tumutukoy lamang sa planong redevelopment ng Plaza Calderon, kung saan matatagpuan ang Shrine, at hindi sa anumang proyekto sa loob ng simbahan,” the MPIO wrote.

In a follow-up post, the church responded to their statement, saying: We welcome the apology and clarification issued by the Manila Public Information Office… We support the Mayor’s commitment to heritage preservation in Santa Ana and look forward to the resolution of the concerns raised by the parishioners and church administration regarding the Suntrust Ascentia issue.
