STORY BY KING DAVID MANGHI
It's ordinary to love the beautiful, but it's beautiful to love the ordinary.

Divine Grace School Principal Waldy Canalita was extremely amazed on how students improvised despite the lack of facilities during the 1st Semester (finals) performance task of Grade 12 students for Contemporary Arts, themed "Step Back to Centuries" last January 23.
She was inspired by the musical plays namely: Misis Fely: Nimfa ang pangalan; Love Actually; Parokya ng Euclid; and Kinaiya and after the performances she announced that the school will build a theater ground for all the Graceans. Canalita said the talent and the passion of the students are what motivates her to find ways to enhance their abilities.
"Bilib na bilib talaga ako sa kanila. Even the way they visualize iyong tipong kahit hindi fit iyong lugar natin for theater plays, na vi-visualize nila na maglagay ng kurtina rito at iba pa, they do see beautiful things on ordinary things,” Canalita said.
"We can conduct not only our play but also our meetings there, your forums, seminars, and training. Kailangan na kailangan ng SHS ang ganitong facility,” she added.
The administrators and staff are going to work on the building permits and other papers for this project this year.
The construction of the building will begin in the 2024–2025 academic year.
