     After the success of the first ever Baste Alumni Basketball League (BABL) last year, the San Sebastian College Alumni Association Incorporated (SSCAAI) held the second season dubbed as "HATAW NA. KAYANG-KAYA PA!". This league promises to be bigger and better! The said event is under the new committee headed by Mr. Joseph Rene Leopando (HS '79) who is now on his second term the Alumni Association's treasurer. Together with Mr. Louie Empleo (Coll.'85), Mr. Guellermo Tamayo (Coll. '85) and Mr. Sonny Calleja (HS '79), they promised to make this season an all-weather meet. Officials behind the league said the onset of the rainy season will be the least expected to affect their game schedules.

      San Sebastian routed Far Eastern University, 25-20, 25-12, 25-18, in a game it could not afford to lose to force a playoff with Adamson for the last finals berth in the V-League presented by Shakey's at the Blue Eagle Gym yesterday.

      On the eve of the 30th day of the month, San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Manila will be experiencing again the gargantuan and stirring annual festivity that signifies the cordial reception and the opening of the threshold of the whole SEBASTINIAN community to the Freshmen—the Night Camp 2006, with the theme “SEBASTINIAN IDOL Nyt Kamp 2k6”. This year’s night camp’s motif is zeroed in on the creation of an exact idol cast in the Augustinian Recollect values and philosophy, who is always feisty to tone with the pressing demands indispensable in different social facets without compromising one’s fervor toward moral principles.
