Mahika: A crossroad of wonder, hope, and mission

Published Feb 16, 2026 05:13 pm
The Assumption Antipolo School Fair for School Year 2025–2026 marks the beginning of a new chapter in the shared journey of the Assumption family. Fair Core 2026 invites fairgoers to take part in an experience filled with vibrant detours, meaningful encounters, and moments of awe that celebrate both where we have been and where we are going. This year’s school fair—Mahika—becomes a space where imagination meets purpose, and wonder leads us back to our mission.
Our journey began with Para!, a lively tribute to the everyday Filipino commute that recognized movement, rhythm, and shared experiences on the road. It reminded us that even the most ordinary journeys become meaningful when taken together. As we step off that familiar path, Mahika welcomes us into a new landscape— a walk of wonder where paths intersect, stories unfold, and connections are formed. If Para! set the rhythm of our collective journey, Mahika becomes the crossroads that invites us to pause, explore, and discover what lies beyond.
Rooted in the school thrust, “Walk in Hope! Live the Mission!”, the fair is envisioned as a Wonderland—a place of curiosity, joy, and boundless possibility. Here, fairgoers from different backgrounds and experiences gather as one community, united by hope and guided by faith. More than fantasy or illusion, this Wonderland reflects the very heart of the Assumption identity: the magic of learning, the magic of friendship, and the magic of service.
Mahika is where imagination opens our hearts to a deeper calling. Through lively music, immersive attractions, and striking visuals, the fair transforms simple efforts into meaningful experiences. Every booth, performance, and encounter becomes a reminder that magic is not found in spectacle alone, but in collaboration, generosity, and shared purpose. It lives in laughter, in moments of awe, and in the quiet realization that service can be joyful and transformative.
As we walk in hope, uncertainty naturally accompanies every new beginning. Yet Mahika reminds us that it is precisely in moments of wonder and exploration that we learn to trust more deeply, in one another and in God, in whom nothing is impossible. As Assumption Antipolo celebrates over 50 years of faith, excellence, and service, this school fair stands as a reminder that our mission extends far beyond a single celebration. We are pilgrims of hope, called to live out our mission daily by empowering one another to grow in goodness, compassion, and service.
The name Mahika captures this spirit perfectly. It is the magical space where paths meet, and hearts are drawn together by a shared purpose. It thrives in the sense of belonging felt in shared moments, the awe sparked by creativity, and the quiet magic stirred by curiosity and discovery. At Mahika, wonder is transformed into action, creativity finds meaning, and every experience leaves a lasting imprint on our journey.
More than a destination, Mahika is an invitation—a crossroads of purpose and adventure, alive with wonder, awe, and hope. Each step becomes a moment of discovery, renewing our sense of promise and reminding us that all beginnings carry its own magic.
Handa ka na bang tahakin ang landas na puno ng hiwaga?
Tara na—magkasama nating buksan ang mundo ng Mahika.
