Sara Jane T. de los Santos, Kawaksing Punongguro, sa pormal na pagbubukas ng programa.   Dumalo sa pagtitipon ang ina ng lungsod, Kgg. Mayora Emi Calixto-Rubiano upang bigyang pagkilala ang mga katuwang, mga guro, at mga mag-aaral na bumuo sa work immersion. “You will feel first-hand the wonders of life outside and the confines of school, rather outside the confines of your school. The unique experiences and the world, ‘yun ang hindi natin nakikita at natutunan agad, at dito sa inyong immersion, tiyak, nakita n’yo, naramdaman n’yo, natutunan n’yo ‘yon,” aniya.   Dagdag pa niya, ang karanasang natutunan ng mga estudyante sa immersion ay magandang pundasyon tungo sa kinabukasan ng bawat isa, ano man ang tatahaking landas na may kaakibat na disiplina, humilidad, at determinasyon.   Nagbigay ng espesyal na mensahe ang punongguro ng paaralan na si Dr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran. Lubos na pasasalamat ang kaniyang ipinarating sa mga katuwang sa work immersion at hiniling sa kanila na hindi lamang ito ang unang pagkakataon ng kanilang pakikipagtulungan, ngunit sana’y magpatuloy pa sa mga susunod na pagkakataon.   Inanunsyo rin ni Dr. Familaran na mayroong pagbabago sa kurikulum para sa mga mag-aaral na papasok sa senior high school sa pagtatapos ng mga papaakyat na grade 11, kung saan ang work immersion ay hindi na 80 oras ng trabaho, sa halip ay magiging 320 oras ng trabaho.   Sa pagbibigay pasasalamat sa Poong Maykapal, naghatid ng mensahe si Senior Pastor Nixon Ng ng Victory Church upang ibahagi na hindi lamang isang damdamin ang pasasalamat, ngunit isang desisyon para ihatid sa kapwa at sa Diyos.   Nagbahagi naman ng karanasan at aral na natutuhan sa kanilanng work immersion ang ilang piling mag-aaral, Shanaiyen Salazar sa MIA Health Center, Neil Icaro sa San Juan De Dios Hospital, at si Filha Ray Penelope Bautista sa Philippine Navy.   Samantala sa panig ng mga katuwang sa work immersion, nagbahagi ng repleksyon sina HR Head Judith Maestre ng CapLink at Lieutenant Archimedes Taraya, Major Sherhannah Paiso, at Director Grace Adriano ng Philippine Navy.   Bahagi rin ang Donya Martha Villamor Health Center, Leveriza Health Center, at Malibay Health Center, sa mga katuwang ng paaralan.   Bukod pa rito, binigyang pagkilala at sertipiko ang mga guro na naging daan upang makamit ng bawat isa ang pagsasanay sa pagtatrabaho.   Naghandog ng awitin sina Remmy Parcia at Bea Rafanan, habang pagsayaw naman ang ipinamalas nina G.

Written by: Jessie Potente & Zacharie Macalalad Pasay City National Science High School (PCNSciHS) successfully hosted a division-wide Elementary Math Invitational Quiz Bee for Grade 6 students on January 30, 2026, marking the competition’s return after an eight-year hiatus. The event, held at the school gymnasium, was the first math invitational organized by PCNSciHS since 2018, as academic competitions were suspended during the pandemic. With the theme “Bridging Excellence for Young Mathematicians,” the quiz bee gathered 19 public and private elementary schools across Pasay City, each represented by two participants. The competition featured three rounds: Easy (2 points), Average (3 points), and Difficult (5 points), challenging students’ mathematical knowledge, speed, and problem-solving skills. In her opening message, Mrs. Sara Jane T. Delos Santos, Assistant Principal of PCNSciHS, representing School Principal Mr. Mark Anthony F. Familaran, emphasized that the event was more than just solving equations. “Today, it’s not just about finding x and solving for y, but about celebrating your curiosity, triumphs, and challenges,” she said. Emerging as champion was Anne Dorothy F. Madrazo of Timoteo Paez Elementary School, who garnered a total of 47 points. She was followed by Alexander Valentine E. Garcia of Rivera Village Elementary School with 23 points, and Linux B. Babas of St. Therese of the Child Jesus of the Holy Face School with 20 points. Madrazo received a plaque, certificate, and PHP 3,000 as the competition’s top winner. In an interview, she shared that she practiced improving her speed in answering math questions and received helpful tips from her mother. “The competition introduced me to some difficult questions, especially the last one in the difficult round. I’ll try to study it more so I can do better next time,” she said. Madrazo also expressed her appreciation for academic contests, noting that mathematics, as a universal subject, helps her in various real-life situations. Meanwhile, Babas shared a message of encouragement, saying, “Whether we win or lose, we are all special.” His coach, Jianne E. Sambrano, revealed that they learned about the competition only at the last minute, leaving little time for preparation, but still commended Babas’ natural strength in mathematics. According to Mrs. Abegail Aborde-Villanueva, adviser of The Euclidean Club, the event aimed to promote PCNSciHS while recognizing and nurturing students who excel in mathematics. Overall, the Math Invitational sought to develop students’ critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills, and to further ignite their interest and appreciation for Mathematics through meaningful and engaging activities. The event concluded with the awarding of plaques and certificates to the winners and participants, marking a successful revival of the Pasay City Math Invitational.

Ngayon, maraming tao ang nakapalibot sa amin kaya ‘yon ay isang naging kulturang nakakagulat o culture shock. Doon din namin nakilala ‘yong mga iba’t ibang estudyante na nagmula pa sa iba’t ibang lugar, lalo na sa mga malalayong lugar,” ani Maria Muega, isa sa mga kinatawan.   Dagdag pa ni Rhiane Lao, kinatawan din ng paligsahan, hindi niya malilimutan ang karanasang ito sapagkat nakita niya nang personal si Dr. Reinabelle Reyes, Associate Professor sa UP College of Science na isa sa mga inspirasyon niya sa larangan ng agham dahil sa mga natatanging tagumpay nito sa disiplinang ito.
