LNHS .....

Christmas never ends in Lepanto National High School; for gifts come all year round.

Rotary Club from Honolulu, Hawaii donated 20 units of computer sets for LNHS students to use in their school activities.

The renovation of the computer rooms including the computers costs   400,000.

As a counterpart the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company handled the labor for the said project.

Death Penalty

            One mistake can never be equal to one’s life.

            Recently, three overseas Filipino workers (OFW) caught for drug trafficking were executed after being sentenced to Death Penalty. These OFW’s, namely, Sally Ordinario Villanueva, Ramon Credo, and Elizabeth Batain, were executed by lethal injection and electric chair.

            This action of the Chinese government is a grave mistake. It doesn’t only violate the rights of man, it also violates the holy laws of God. It disregards what the law says regarding a person’s rights to live, rights to let the truth prevail, rights to explain one ’s self and rights to be heard.

            We respect the laws or constitution of china. However, this law is obviously violating the commandments of God stated in the bible.

            Chinese government should stop and change their punishments to those who are involved in drug trafficking with humanely consequences.
