#ElecTQ | A Race to Remember! With a staggering 93.1% voter turnout, this year’s SSLG elections delivered one of the tightest and most intense battles in recent history. The presidential race came down to a razor-thin margin, with President-elect Filha Ray Penelope Bautista delivering 53.5% of votes and re-electionist Michiko Yamamoto securing 46.5% of the votes, proving just how divided yet engaged the student body was in choosing its next leader. Meanwhile, the secretarial showdown saw another neck-and-neck fight, as both candidates pushed for every last vote. Across all positions, candidates fought fiercely for student representation, making this election a true testament to Pascian democracy. As the dust settles and the winners step forward, one thing is clear—every vote mattered. Congratulations to the newly elected student leaders, and thank you to every Pascian who made their voice count!

#ElecTQ | The first votes have been cast, and the race is officially on! As Pasay City National Science High School prepares for tomorrow’s high-stakes student elections, early ballots have already started shaping the battlefield. Delegates for the Regional Schools Press Conference and students with research obligations secured their votes today through traditional paper-and-pen voting—a crucial first move in what promises to be an electrifying electoral showdown. But the real action is just beginning. Tomorrow, the rest of the student body will make their voices heard through Google Forms, and the competition is only getting fiercer. Xyrel James Canonoy, Editor-in-Chief of The Quantum, was the first to cast a vote. His message to Pascians is: “This election isn’t just about choosing names—it’s about understanding who you’re voting for and why. An informed vote is what truly matters.” Zorah Noah Diaz, a researcher and Grade 12 – Quisumbing’s President, urged her batchmates to participate, emphasizing that despite being on their way out, the senior class should aim for a 100% turnout. “We may be graduating soon, but our votes still shape the future of Pasay Sci. Let’s set the standard and make this election count.” Will the early votes set the tone for an unstoppable victory, or is a last-minute upset on the horizon? The battle for student leadership is in full swing—and there’s no turning back now.

In an interview with The Quantum, Loro said that while they appreciate donations such as clothes, food packs, and financial aid, there is still a lack of milk, diapers, and vitamins for infants and aged people. Resident Edgar Santos, 21, also pleads for construction materials to build their homes. “Sa ngayon, ito talaga ‘yung kailangan namin para makapagsimula muli,” said Santos. The fire that broke out at 4:31 a.m., affected 80 families or 240 families, and left four casualties: a mother, her 7-year-old son, her 14-year-old niece, and her brother-in-law. Two were also injured—one with a first-degree burn, and another with a wound on the foot. The cause of fire is still unidentified as there is no official report from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) but it is speculated that the fire started with an electric bike (E-bike) battery that was left unattended while charging, according to Loro. “Siguro sa susunod, panatilihin na walang nakasaksak at laging i-monitor ang mga device at buong bahay, lalo na’t karamihan ng mga bahay rito ay gawa sa light materials,” added Loro to remind the residents. Individuals who are willing to help may contact the official Facebook page of Brgy 177 Sangguniang Kabataan (https://www.facebook.com/sk177zone18) or Loro (https://www.facebook.com/romxie.curamen).

Last February 13-14, 2025, the Supreme Student Government (SSLG), together with the The Pascian Glee Club and Atelier De Pascian, made sure to fill our days with excitement, setting up vibrant booths to make this celebration extra special for everyone. Notes of love were sung, and yarns with deep meanings were tied. Heartfelt letters found their way to their recipients, while chocolates and candies sweetened the occasion. Colorful bouquets were exchanged, warming hearts and brightening smiles. This event became more than just a celebration—it was a heartfelt breather, allowing us to pause, rest, and bask in fleeting yet beautiful moments of happiness. In this Valentine’s Special, let’s take a moment to relive some of the most unforgettable highlights of this love-filled event. May your hearts continue to spread love, PaScians!

Myra Jaime Itinanghal na kampeon ang tatlong mag-aaral sa Senior High School ng Pasay City National Science High School sa finals ng Brainiac: Clash of the Sci-Tech Year 3 – Quizbowl Challenge na ginanap sa Don Bosco Technical College Mandaluyong kahapon, ika-15 ng Pebrero. Nagwagi sina Carl Niño Y. Carasco, Maxine Arella R. Reyes, at Ronan Julian Kaiser A. Castro sa tulong ng kanilang gurong tagapagsanay na si Bb. Maria Theresa L. Estilong, kasama ang iba pang guro na sina G. Christian Jayvon C. Laluna, Bb. Sarah Lee F. Delgado, Bb. Rexielle Joy V. Villareal at suporta ng pamunuan ng paaralan sa pangunguna ni Dr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran, punongguro. Umiikot ang paligsahang ito sa mga asignaturang Research, Matematika, Statistics, at Agham. Layon ng paligsahang ito na hubugin ang kanilang kasanayan sa STEM upang maging masipag at matatalinong lingkod-bayan sa hinaharap. Nagsimula ang kanilang paglalakbay nang una silang sumali sa Brainiac Cluster Qualifiers na ginanap sa Quezon City Science High School nitong ika-11 ng Enero. Tanging ang nangungunang 16 na paaralan sa bawat cluster lamang ang magpapatuloy sa finals. Lahat ng 16 na kwalipikadong paaralan mula sa iba’t ibang cluster ay magsasama-sama para sa written portion ng paligsahan; pagkatapos nito ay 20 paaralan lamang ang magpapatuloy sa oral round ng finals. “Ang dami naming kalaban na magagaling na schools sa NCR, and to think na hindi lang kami nag-place sa podium, pero nakapag-champion pa despite the fierce competition. Nakakagulat and at the same time nakakatuwa na me and my team were able to achieve this milestone, something we once thought was impossible to reach. Hindi ko makakalimutan ‘yung moment na ‘to—it’s definitely one for the history books,” sabi ni Reyes. Dagdag pa niya, “The biggest challenge talaga is hindi mo mapipigilang ma-feel na unprepared ka since sobrang lawak ng coverage per subject. Mahirap din lalo na kung inclined ka lang sa specific subjects—kunwari, mas proficient ako sa Science kaysa sa Math, kaya mas mahirap para sa akin mag-review at mag-absorb ng Math concepts. Hindi nawawala sa utak ko na may mga concepts pa akong hindi nare-review, and it takes a lot of willpower para ma-retain ko lahat ng inaral ko.” Sa kabila ng napakaraming paaralan mula sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng NCR, napagtagumpayan nilang makuha ang tropeo ng kampeon na may kasamang mga medalya at ang Php 50,000 cash prize.
