Baliwag Polytechnic College Senior High School fielded fifty (50) of its grade 11 students to participate the celebrated Pasko Sa Kalye (PaSaKalye) last December 14, 2016. PaSaKalye is a Christmas street and mass dancing contest, one of the most-awaited segment of Paskong Pasko sa Baliwag 2016. 

Social Sciences instructor, Mr. Armie V. Verde, choreographed BTECH's entry. The routine showcased the students' creativity, inventiveness and environmentalism. It made use of recovered waste materials to highlight Baliwag's heritage sites and unique products. Among tourist attractions of the town, the clock tower of Baliwag and San Agustin Church were featured. While among its multifarious products, the famed buntal hat was featured.

BTECH's entry was very good. But there were schools which fared better. ACLC Baliwag eventually bagged the grand prize for the high school and college level. It was the first time for BTECH to join the PaSaKalye. Winning it, although hoped, was not a primary goal. BTECH's primary goals were:  (1) to contribute to the efforts of the local government unit in making Baliwag, Bulacan a bankable tourist attraction site during Christmas season; (2) to expose the Senior High School students of BTECH to the art of street dancing and en masse performances; and (3) to develop, among BTECH students, self confidence and camaraderie. 

BTECH will join again next year.
