TEN MONTHS AND TWO DAYS
For ten months, they attended class, interacted with each other, studied as groups, laughed at each others jokes every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 7 to 9 PM. But that was all in the virtual setting. May times they expressed the longing to see each other in person. Then Alert Level 1 in relation to the pandemic situation was announced in most regions of the Philippines, making travel easier. That sparked the idea that we can have an in-person graduation celebration to which everyone agreed.
So they came (except for 4 who could not make it) and had great fun and fellowship for two days. This is the story of BSM Online Batch 1. It was a case of “Hello” and then “Good Bye” but it was better that none.
BSM ONLINE BATCH 1 AWARDEES
Even in the online setting, these students achieved well and demonstrated great performance. Through a customized server within the Discord platform, we were able to measure the performances of the students in the different areas of learning. Coagulations to these achievers.
FORTY STUDENTS FINISHED AS FIRST BSM ONLINE GRADUATES
It is a common saying that the pioneers in an endeavor will always face the greatest difficulty. These forty men and women experienced that and paved the way for the next groups of students who will study in BSM Online. We truly salute them for a job very well done in overcoming the challenges of the learning in an online setting.

BSM BATCH 28 JOINS IN GRADUATION CEREMONY OF BSM ONLINE BATCH 1
When the nationwide lock down effective last March 16, 2020 was announced due to a national health emergency brought by COVID19, the BSM Batch 28 students had to pack their bags to catch up with the last ride back to their home places. There were a block of courses left to be covered which they were able to complete online. All other requirements for graduation were accomplished online as well. However, they missed the experience of a proper graduation ceremony.
Remarkably however, this batch pursued with their church planting assignments. A year after the pandemic started, with the travel restrictions and required safety protocols, many managed to travel to Mindanao and have started a successful ministry among the Moslems in Mindanao. As we prepare for the graduation of the BSM Online Batch, we decided to recall them for a joint graduation ceremony. Nine out of nineteen of them made it to be in the joint graduation ceremony of BSM Batch 28 and BSM Online Batch 1.
Enjoying the fun during the Graduation Lunch prepared by the school for the graduating students.
ONLINE COMPREHENSIVE TEST TILL MIDNIGHT
BSM Online students took their online year end comprehensive test last March 25, 2022. The test was made available online from 7 pm until midnight. Academic Dean Rev. Zeny Calusay asked them to send in their photos while taking the test. In BSM, students regularly say: “We love tests”|
