Significance of the celebration includes: Pica 10th anni final thanksgiving to God for guiding PICA the past ten years, acknowledgement of every student who supports MLE and looking back at the development of PICA for greater appreciation of MLE. The celebration also traced the historical context of PICA which recalls the late Sr. Lucina Sarmiento, FSP who pioneered MLE in the congregation of the Daughters of St. Paul with her proposed thesis on “Child of Media” and “Media Baby” at the Ateneo de Manila University.
