The following are some selected articles/emails saved
or culled
from the internet that may be of interest to SMS Sagada Alumni and Friends.
- An Open Letter
to the Rt. Rev. F. R. Graves, D.D., Bishop of Shanghai
and Bishop in Charge of the Missionary District of the Philippine Islands:
from the Rev. John A. Staunton, Jr., Priest-in-Charge of the Mission of St.
Mary the Virgin, Sagada, Philippine Islands. Sagada: The Igorot Press, 1919.
This open letter is posted here not so much to inform the differences of Fr.
Staunton with the Bishop of Shanghai, but because the letter gives an insight
as to the philosophy and what maybe called Fr. Staunton's strategic plan,
which he pursued with passion, to Christianize and educate the Sagada Igorots.
These are highlighted [by maltreb aslagal] in colored fonts or letterings.
- Christian Education in the Philippines.
This article is posted here as a reference
on the subject of Christian education. You may want to compare the concepts
discussed in this article with that pursued by Fr. Staunton in his Sagada
Mission.
-
From Bare Feet to Academic Accolades
The principal character here, Dr.
Andrew Bacdayan of Banga-an, Sagada is a graduate of St. Mary's
School and the article is posted here as testimony to our claim that
through SMS many Igorots were able to educate themselves and gain lofty
positions in their chosen fields of endeavors. http://www.lamar.edu/news/story.asp?ID=303
- The Sagada Postboy circa 1953
The Sagada Postboy has a long history. This
edition is posted here as a challenge to current SMS students - that it shall
never be said that the Postboy died in their watch.

- The Centennial
Homecoming. Highlights of
Centennial home coming by Nellie Ballola. This email is posted here to inform
alumni and friends about concrete accomplishments as well as offers of support
towards rehabilitating SMS. The email is posted here in the hope that other
alumni and friends maybe encouraged to likewise support the vision and mission
of SMS in whatever means that is comfortable with them.
- Philippine church recalls paradoxical
history. It has been said that Igorots
were never conquered by the sword; only by the cross. In a way this article
substantiates that claim.
