CATHOLIC VALUES?

Just now I was informed that the school needs payment for the raffle tickets for the "King and Queen of SJCS" and another 500 pesos for the raffle ticket para sa kung ano pa man yan. 
I have several questions for anyone from the school who can answer:
My first question - Compulsory ba ito? Kasi I am not rich, and I have 3 children...so 3,000 pesos din ito.
My second question - kung compulsory ito, how much time do I have? I would like to get the input of radio stations and eventually DECS, on the legality of this.
My third question - if it is not compulsory, will the teachers not exert undue pressure on the students, esp. the grade school students. 
My last question - at a time when several calamities have hit this country, some of them directly affecting some of us and our work, including me....is it right to compel anyone, to buy anything, for whatever reason?

I have heard that a lot of parents, and some alumni organizations have agreed to donate a lot for whatever festivities have been planned....I commend them and wish them well...pero kailangan bang pati yung mga gipit pilitin magbigay? Again, not everyone who studies in SJCS belong to rich families!

CATHOLIC VALUES? SJCS VISION.

GOD BLESS ALL OF US!!!
