Spearheaded by Filha Ray Penelope Bautista, the SSLG asserted to fulfill their responsibilities in the upcoming school year 2025-2026. As a preparation for the next school year, Bautista shared plans on convening with school administrators and SSLG officers ‘as soon as possible.’ “With the dedicated SSLG officers and the support of the school administration, I am confident that we will conclude this school year in a highly productive, meaningful, and smooth manner,” she added. The oath was sworn together with Principal Mark Anthony Familaran, Assistant Principal Sara Jane de los Santos, the Learner Government Commission on Elections and Appointments, and SSLG Adviser Joanna Marie Luciano.

Day 1 included talks about mental health (Ms. Marra Santiago, Master Teacher of PCEHS), children’s rights (Sofia Michiko Yamamoto, child rights advocate), and gender-based violence (Ms. Marlyn Verian-Pulga, ASMAE Gender Advisor). This also gave the representatives an opportunity to share more about their clubs through the State of the School Organizations Address (SOSA), where they got to present their clubs’ objectives, accomplished projects, ongoing projects, challenges, and collaboration suggestions. Next week, they will be meeting the officers of the Division Federation Supreme Secondary Learner Government, who personally experienced the Learners’ Convergence Philippines at Lapu-Lapu, Cebu. May you bring these learnings with you as you progress as student leaders in PaSci. See you next week!

This event is part of a series of 25 races held nationwide, celebrating Filipino resilience and athleticism. The marathon series commenced in Vigan City on February 16, 2025, and will conclude in Tacloban City on November 30, 2025. The national finals are scheduled for December 7, 2025. According to MILO-Philippines, this year-long marathon is a testament to the power of dreams, determination, and the indomitable spirit of the Filipino people. Participants can look forward to an exhilarating experience that not only tests their physical limits but also fosters a sense of community and sportsmanship across the nation.

More than two years since Pasay City National Science High School introduced the Mathematics and Computational Sciences category in its annual research studies, the first internationally published study is now here. Titled “L-PRICE: Utilizing Linear Programming in Optimizing Rice (Oryza Sativa) Profit Through Production Cost and Return in Central Luzon,” the study, proposed by Elyzza Esteban, Amiel Gonzaga, Maywin Lubao, and Marco Mendoza, developed an optimal solution for maximizing rice profits in Central Luzon while minimizing production costs. Under the expert guidance of Ms. Rexielle Villareal, their work has been successfully published in the Southeast Asian Journal for STEM Education, marking a significant milestone for our student-researchers and the school’s research community. Congratulations from The Quantum family!

#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.
