2018 Master Guide Induction Ceremony
In the afternoon of Saturday, July 14th, 2018, the Master Guide Organization of MVC had their weekend induction ceremony at the Alumni Church with the official hash tag #pathfinderstrong.
The purpose of the induction ceremony was to officially admit the newly members into the world- wide fellowship of the Pathfinder Club. The program begins with a march in of the old and new members and the welcome remarks by MG Olivia Vasquez.
MG Dwight Kenjie Madriaga shared a message encouraging everyone to be a revere master of Master Guide. At a later time, MG Prince Dean A. Baya presided over the induction ceremony, then the lighting of the Pathfindering Candle commenced.
The spirit of the pathfindering candle depicts the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Master of the Master Guides, which cultivates learning, camaraderie, exploration, learning and the spirit of service. Also, the 6 different classes in the pathfinder club are designed to help the pathfinders learn skills which will make them useful individuals in the society.
The blue candle represents the friend class whereby the pathfinder learns to be a friend of God and a friend of men;
The red candle represents the companion class, where pathfinder learns to walk with God and enjoy his companionship;
The green candle represents the explorer class where pathfinder learns to explore God's creation, wonders and mystery;
The white candle represents the ranger class where the pathfinder learns to accept a challenge and be a ranger;
The burgundy candle represents the voyager where pathfinder learns what it means to go with God;
The last was the guide class represented by the last foundation of the candle. Together with 8 laws and 7 pledges, an overall total of 22 candles were lighted for the induction ceremony.
College President and Master Guide Gladden Flores led the dedicatory prayer, then the benediction by MG Rommel Subigca. The recessional and picture taking immediately followed.
The weekend ceremony was full of ineffable insights and inspiring words that build the foundation of faith to the Glory of God. Let the message printed on their program inspire us. It says, "The power of Master Guide touch: When you reach out to them by believing in them, trusting them, accepting them and working with them, they will live up their potential.”
