AT A GLANCE
The year 2015 was an exciting time for Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHSIRC). Under its new leadership, the institution seized many opportunities for reorganization, development of new
operational policies and programs, innovation, and transformation. It dared to venture on uncharted territories,
going above and beyond its mandate of promoting and providing science and mathematics education.
Moreover, 2015 was also about honoring time-tested traditions and principles that molded PSHS-IRC. In
pursuing its goals, the PSHS-IRC renewed its emphasis on the ideals of excellence and commitment to service.
Many PSHS-IRC scholars were provided the platform to compete in national and international academic arenas,
bringing home glory and honor not only for themselves but also for the country. At the same time, PSHS-IRC
realigned its research and teaching capabilities in trying to effect change in the community. More programs and
activities benefited specific groups not only in the immediate communities but also in the region.
Truly, these triumphs were all driven by a deep understanding of ideals that hold the very fabric of PSHSIRC—dedication, commitment, and excellence.
Undeniably, 2015 was a moment of many remarkable feats that catapulted PSHS-IRC to the pedestal of
greatness. Indeed, nothing is more succinct to describe the year that was than PSHS-IRC’s banner—SOAR HIGH
PISAY!

about
PSHS-IRC
A
lso known as Pisay Ilocos, the Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHS-IRC) was
established through the initiative of former 1st District of Ilocos Sur Congressman Salacnib F. Baterina in
1999 under the Republic Act 9036. After the PSHS System Board of Trustees approved its establishment
through a resolution on February 6, 2002, the local government of San Ildefonso in Ilocos Sur donated a 5-hectare
land for the construction of the school. A supplemental lot of 2913 square meters was once again donated on April
6, 2015 by the local government of San Ildefonso to PSHS-IRC through Resolution No. 14, Series of 2015.
Located on what used to be a graze-land of the Bureau of Animal Industry in San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur,
PSHS-IRC was the 8th campus to be established by the PSHS System across the country.
Pisay Ilocos formally opened on July 14, 2003 with 33 freshmen enrolled and supported by 12 faculty
members and administrative personnel. However, its population has grown. It currently has 343 scholars, supported
by 38 faculty members and 33 support staff and personnel. Since 2007, it has already produced 459 graduates, most
of whom have gone to prestigious schools in the country.
Over the years, infrastructure development has totally changed the face of this campus. It now boasts
two four-storey dormitory buildings (Boys’ and Girls’) than can each accommodate around 250 scholars; an
administrative building; two academic buildings with spacious classrooms, intervention rooms, faculty rooms,
and an audio-visual room; a multipurpose gymnasium that houses offices, a clinic, a canteen, and other facilities;
two open courts; science and computer laboratories; library; faculty housing units; and more.
In preparation for the K to 12 program, the construction of its third academic building will start in 2016.
It will house Science, Math, and Technology (SMT) classrooms, laboratories, faculty rooms, a planetarium, and
other facilities.

From its humble beginnings in 200
Science High School-Ilocos Region
IRC family has grown over the year
M
ore than a decade ago, when PSHS-IRC was
still at its infancy, the opportunity to be part
of this institution came knocking at our
doors. By “OUR,” I mean myself, the faculty and staff,
and even those others like the ExeCom and Board of
Trustees, who are directly or indirectly part of Pisay
Ilocos.
Just like me, perhaps many of you heeded
the advice to take the challenge. Back then, you may
have been considering what better way was there than
to have been given the opportunity to be part of an
institution that gives the kind of education to the new generations of bright and promising intellectuals in the field
of science and technology.
Hence, daunting as it might have been, you all took the challenge with me with the hope that, with our
expertise in our own fields and our various backgrounds, we could impact people’s lives here and effect changes
that were necessary for the development of this institution.
However, while we were all busy doing what we came here to do and what we think people expected us to
achieve, perhaps we barely noticed how we had all been changed by the institution that we initially intended to
change.
It was inevitable. It was bound to happen that we would all be like clay jars that had to be broken to be
molded again in the potter’s hands called PSHS-IRC. It changed our perspectives. It opened doors to allow shifts
in paradigm. It was also unavoidable that we would all come to realize that Philippine Science High School-Ilocos
Region Campus is bigger than yourself…bigger than any one of us.
This is what Pisay Ilocos does that to you. It changes you. Should you allow it to, it can and will present
many opportunities of both personal and professional growth. It will test your courage and perseverance. It will
push you to your limits and open windows to the unknown aspects of yourself. More importantly, it will make
you realize things that really matter—things such as commitment to service, excellence, patriotism, pursuit of the
untarnished truth, and giving back to the community that has nurtured you.
Yes, respice, adspice, prospice. Examine the past, examine the present, examine the future. I am here not only
to talk about our travails and triumphs as individuals but also to reminisce the glorious past. More importantly, I
am here before you to celebrate an institution that we all have come to love.
Pisay Ilocos is not just an academic institution, but a home we all go back to when we need comfort, a

Message from the
Executive Director
03 to the present, many things have indeed transpired that shaped Philippine
Campus (PSHS-IRC) into what it is now. I am specially elated to see how the
ars.
memory we all look back to when we feel lost and, definitely, a reminder of what you are willing to sacrifice all in
the name of service and commitment to excellence.
Pisay Ilocos is a story of many triumphs and even failures. But, it is also a story of redemption. It was not
always rainbows and sunshine; it had dark moments, too. What Pisay Ilocos had to go through to be what it is
today is tantamount to a rock being hammered, crushed, powdered, and subjected to tremendous heat in order to
reveal the gold in it. Despite all challenges along the way, what matters more is how it rose above the circumstances
and continued to be the beacon of academic excellence and social responsibility.
I believe that this is the strength of Pisay Ilocos. It is this strength that, as the former Campus Director of
this institution, I have nothing but confidence not only in Dr. Ronnalee Orteza but also in all of you who make up
this family. Leave behind what we failed at and just bring with you lessons from our little victories as well as from
those failures and forge your way ahead.
Look back, but don’t hold back. Bring PSHS-IRC to greater heights…to where it so deserves. Look not
at surpassing what we—who came before you--have achieved as something negative. I, as your former Campus
Director and now the Executive Director of the System, expect you to go above and beyond. Let not the shadow of
the past hold you down. Spread your wings and soar high…higher even. Look forward to what the future holds.
Trust me: the future is bright and the bearers of that future are right in our midst.
Indeed, what we have achieved here is something we should all be proud of. Now, as I pass the mantel of
responsibility to Dr. Orteza, I am in no doubt that this place is in good hands. She is a good worker and an epitome
of service above self. She works with love. Like her, I enjoin everyone to work with love.
As Kahlil Gibran once said, work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste,
it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with
joy. For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger. If you sing and
love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night. And if you grudge the
crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
With this, congratulations to Dr. Orteza once again and to the whole IRC community. Indeed, a new dawn
for IRC has come.
LARRY L. CABATIC, Ph.D.
***This speech was delivered during the installation ceremonies of Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza as the new Campus Director of Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region
Campus (PSHS-IRC) held on September 2, 2015 at PSHS-IRC, Poblacion East, San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur.

SOAR HIGH
T
o take on the job of leading the organization is indeed a gargantuan task and a responsibility that requires
much consideration. However, with faith in everyone’s capacity to discharge their duties and responsibilities
with integrity and with full confidence and trust in our scholars’ potentials, our 2015 turned out to be exciting
for Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHS-IRC). It was the year that saw the organization
take bolder steps towards achieving our shared goals. We were lucky to have been provided with the necessary
platform to deliver our share in the attainment of the System’s mandate.
With our concerted shared effort, 2015 saw the introduction of new and improved programs that targeted
the development not only of our scholars but also of our partner communities. More partnerships and linkages
were also established with our benchmarking activities and were strengthened with our continued cooperation in
developing the innate acumen of our scholars in science and technology. At the same time, we were able to make
procurements and execute infrastructure development projects that made instruction and the delivery of our
service more efficient for the benefit of our scholars. Also, many of our scholars were able to compete and triumph
in competitions here and abroad.
More importantly, 2015 set the precursor for more exciting things to happen. Soon to be housed in one of
our facilities is the Department of Trade and Industry-funded Ilocos Innovation Center-Fabrication Laboratory,
which is the first of its kind in the region. A technical prototyping platform for ideation, innovation, and invention,
the FabLab will benefit not only our scholars but also SMEs in the region. It will provide stimulus and the needed
machinery for local entrepreneurship. At the same time, this FabLab is going to be an ideal platform for our
scholars’ learning and innovation—a place to play, create, learn, mentor, invent, etc.
The bottom line is that all of all of these efforts are geared towards ensuring the most efficient delivery of
our services and that our scholars get the best kind of education and learning experience that they deserve.
Kahlil Gibran once said about the youth that we may be able “to house their bodies but not their souls, for
theirs dwell in the house of tomorrow, which we cannot visit even in our dreams.” However, with all these that
we have achieved for the year that was, I am confident that we have done our part to guarantee that their future is
going to be prosperous.
With all these, perhaps some may consider it as beginner’s luck on my part. However, I would like to see it
as a product of hard work and collaborative effort. Indeed, nothing is more rewarding for a campus director than
having a team that fully understands the scale of responsibilities required in serving this country’s next leaders

and prime-movers in the field of science and technology. These men and women—faculty and staff members
alike—behind the quality service that our scholars are provided with come to work every day with one purpose in
mind, that is each day is an opportunity to make a difference in their lives. If it were not for their dedication and
commitment, Pisay Ilocos would not be what it is today—an institution of learning that prides itself not only on its
quality of education but also on its reputation as a breeding ground for intellectuals and brilliant young minds with
patriotic hearts dedicated to service and nation building. Such is their dedication that I am humbled and honored
to be in their midst.
Indeed, our successes and even our failures in the last year are all worth the while. What the year 2015 gave
us is the vigor to continue the great things that we have started and the tenacity to be better, for what lies ahead is
surely promising.
To God be the Glory!

ENROLMENT PROFILE:
Northern Scholars by the number
F
or SY 2015-2016, the Philippine Science High
School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHS-IRC)
enrolment has yielded a total number of 343
scholars.
This number indicates an increase by 2.9% visà-vis the 333 scholars who enrolled last school year. Of
the 343 scholars, Grade 7 and 8 have 90 scholars each,
and there are 83 and 80 scholars for Grade 9 and Grade
10, respectively.
Also, 92.42% (317 scholars) are from the
different provinces of Region 1, the highest of which are
from Ilocos Norte with 32.34% (111 scholars), followed
by Pangasinan with 27.41% (94 scholars), Ilocos Sur
with 25.95% (89 scholars), and La Union with 6.71%
(23 scholars), respectively. The rest of the scholars come
from various areas such as Cagayan, Abra, Apayao,
Pampanga, Cavite, Rizal, Laguna, Marikina City,
Malabon City, and Quezon City.
Moreover, 115 (33.53%) of the total number of
scholars enjoy Full Scholarship, a 15.7% increase from
last school year with 97 scholars. The rest enjoy Partial
I (87 scholars-25.36%), Partial II (51 scholars-14.87%),
and Partial III (90 scholars-25.24%) scholarships.
Meanwhile, there are more Grade 7 enrollees
who graduated from public elementary schools, 49
343
scholars
scholars out of 90. There was also an increase seen in
the number of those from public schools from last
school year (43 scholars) to the current school year (49
scholars).
According to Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza, Campus
Director, these numbers are actually encouraging given
the efforts that PSHS-IRC put to reaching out to as
many public schools as possible during the National
Competitive Examination (NCE) campaign.
In the past, there had been more Grade 7
enrollees from private institutions. While this wasn’t
really a problem, the reality was that the awareness level
about PSHS and NCE of those from the public schools
compared to those from private schools was quite low.
Because of this, Dr. Orteza thought that the campaign
needed to be intensified and that something must be
done.
“We really went out of our way and went
directly to them to convince them to try out for the
NCE as well as explain to them the benefits of having
PSHS education. To see the increase in the number of
scholars from public schools and those enjoying Full
Scholarship is definitely worth the effort and resources
we allotted for that,” said Dr. Orteza.

PISAY-IRC’S
BRAND OF EXCELLENCE
T
he Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHS-IRC), true to its mission of nurturing its
scholars to have a scientific mind and a passion for excellence, has provided myriad opportunities for its
scholars to break boundaries and expand their horizons. More importantly, it provided the necessary stage
for the showcase of their skills to the world, a stepping-stone to achieving greater things in life.
Without a doubt, this commitment to excellence deep-seated in the habits and the inner psyche of PSHS-IRC
scholars has constantly shined through not only in their everyday academic pursuit but also in every competition
they participated in here and abroad.
Not only did they represent the campus and the System, but also they stood proudly among the best
of the country as well as their counterparts in Asia. Through these competitions, they are able to showcase the
refinement of holistic education that they receive in PISAY-IRC, a testament to their unwavering pursuit of honor
and excellence.
“Their victories not only confirm the brilliance of our scholars but also demonstrate that culture of
excellence innate in them but which PSHS-IRC has cultivated and fostered,” said Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza, Campus
Director.
“Competitions are a great setting to learn in; failure in these does not bear any severe consequences. Instead,
it’s a great chance to measure your skills in a certain discipline against others,” added Dr. Orteza.

IRC scholars win in int’l tilts
In 2015, several Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHSIRC) scholars competed in and bagged awards from competitions abroad.
Out of 197 research project entries from all over the world, the four teams from PSHS-IRC brought home
one gold and three silver medal awards from the Malaysian International Young Inventors Olympiad (MIYIO)
2015 held from April 3 to 5 at Tun Syed Sheh Shahabudin Science Secondary School, Penang, Malaysia.
Lloyd Andrei Corpuz, a Grade 7 scholar, also triumphed in the 2015 China Primary Math Olympiad
(CPMO) held in Zhejiang, Hangzhou, China from July 27 to August 1, 2015. Corpuz won 1st and 2nd place awards
from his group and individual events, respectively.
Meanwhile, the group of Beatrice Burgonio, Pancho Ruedas, and Michael Jericho Cava emerged victorious
during the 4th Asia Pacific Conference for Young Scientist (APCYS 2015) held at the Royal Military College in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on September 6 to 11. The group won two silver awards (Oral Presentation and Poster
Presentation) for their study “Design and Synthesis of Graphene/ZnO Hybrid Electrodes for Flexible HighPerformance Supercapacitors.” Burgonio was also hailed as the Best Female Presenter under the Special Award
Physics Category.
During the 2015 Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair, Kharina Malaya Lopez and Lhourd Jacy Rone
Fortus also brought home a bronze award for their investigatory project entiled “Effectiveness of Talahib Grass
(Saccharum spontaneum) with Wood Wastes as Structural Board.” The competition was held at the Mones
International Exhibition and Convention Centre, Mines City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from October 30 to
November 1.
Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza, Campus Director of PSHS-IRC, said that the scholars’ success in these international
competitions are a showcase of how IRC scholars can compete and even be at par with students outside the country.
“To be able to nurture brilliant young minds of today and prepare them to be this country’s next legion of
researchers and scientists may be a daunting task, but it’s worth it when you see them prove themselves and even
perform well in the international arena,” said Dr. Orteza.

The
An acronym for you only live once, YOLO often
has negative connotation as it is usually associated with
reckless behavior and apathy. However, Batch Kinse
transformed all that and gave it a good name with
how they spent their four years as northern scholars.
For them, YOLO is just a reconstructed carpe diem to
suit their generation. But similarly, it implies that one
should enjoy life, even if that entails taking risks.
As the batch that called themselves sharks, they
roamed the vast ocean of academic endeavors and
emerged the strongest and fittest in many occasions.
And, yes, enjoy they did and they indeed took
risks together that made their batch one of a kind and
their travails forever etched in the annals of PSHS-IRC
history.
“Individually, we are just free-flowing particles
with individual masses and importance. But because of
Pisay and the batch as our binding energies, we have
Page | 16
become united. We have become one whole atom of
greater mass…of greater importance,” thus said Camille
Aguinaldo, who graduated with high honors.
Just how special are these ‘yolo-ing’ sharks?
Here are just some of the facts:
• 79 out of 80 (98.75%) of Batch Kinse passed
the UPCAT.
• Camille Anne Aguinaldo, Vibiene Norma
Bernal, and Sephi Marz Liclican, Honors, qualified
for the Intarmed* Program of the University of the
Philippines College of Medicine.
•Of the 80 who recently graduated, 93.75%
pursued science and technology courses in college. 21
of them were awarded with DOST-SEI scholarships.
• Christian Joshua Nalundasan qualified for the
Director’s List Scholarship offered by Ateneo de Manila
University to top 200 who have done very well in the
Ateneo College Entrance Test (ACET).
“Our contract (with Pisay) entitled
us the trust of the Filipino people
with hopes of a better nation. It is our
responsibility then to fulfill it. This
contract was part of the equation which
completed us and was integral in all
actions that we have taken…”
Camille Anne V. Aguinaldo
With High Honors
Batch Kinse
Graduates
• Six of the batch were candidates for the
Vaugirard Scholarship Program offered by De La Salle
University.
• At the USA College Board SAT (Scholastic
Aptitude Test), the eight students who took it garnered
an average rating of 1697.5 over 2400. The highest
scorer of the eight, Vibiene Norma C. Bernal, got
1850. According to prepscholar.com, this score belongs
to the 85 percentile rank and is competitive for
1177 universities including University of California
(UC) Davis, UC Irvine, University of San Francisco,
Pepperdine University, Carnegie Mellon University,
New York University, John Hopkins University, etc.
*Intarmed (Integrated Liberal Arts and Medicine) is the seven-year curriculum of the University of the
Philippines College of Medicine that shortens the usual period of medical education by two years. Intarmed
students are selected from the top 50 male and top 50 female college freshmen qualifiers (ranked according to
their University Predicted Grade/UPG) who indicated in the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) application
form their interest in Intarmed. Only 40 (20 males and 20 females) are finally admitted into the program
following a selection process which includes an interview.

PSHS-IRC
ALUMNI:
Enduring Testaments
of PSHS-IRC’s Brand
of Excellence
P
assion for excellence, undeniably, is that one
thing that distinguishes a Pisayer from all others.
From their usual travails in the classroom to
competitions and trainings, the northern scholars do
not settle for mediocrity. Their rigorous training in
PSHS-IRC has developed in them a mindset to aim for
the best and not settle for less. Such is their training that
excellence and the pursuit of it becomes an integral part
of their being.
With this, PSHS-IRC has constantly produced
outstanding alumni who embody excellence wherever
they go and whatever they do. This brand of excellence
has produced numerous graduates with Latin honors
from topnotch universities in the country. Always at the
forefront of the battle of supremacy, PSHS-IRC alumni
ace their licensure examinations and go on to become
professional chemists, engineers, medical technologists,
and scientists par excellence.
Unwavering in their pursuit of academic
excellence, some PSHS-IRC alumni have even qualified
for prestigious international scholarships and fellowships
in respectable universities abroad.
Given all these, the PSHS-IRC alumni are
without a doubt making their own marks in their
respective communities and fields of specialization.
With them are not only skills but also an immense
amount of confidence brought forth by their relevant
trainings in PSHS-IRC and the understanding of the
need to do things under the heading of brilliance…the
PSHS-IRC brand of excellence.

RESEARCHES
W
e live in a world replete with questions
that demand substantial answers. In fact,
it’s a world where more questions arise
after another. Indeed, it is an endless pursuit to find
answers to these seemingly limitless questions. Given
this, we live in a world where there is a plethora of
researches to be undertaken and a challenge to find
meaning from the answers to these questions.
In response then to this challenge and being the
eminent science high school in the region, the PSHSIRC put a premium on the conduct of research of its
faculty and scholars.
Ranging from medicinal potential of different
plants to fabrication of supercapacitors to development
of an automated student medical directory system for
PSHS-IRC, these researches are conducted and allotted
with painstaking attention and resources in order to
find at least partial answers if not certainty to some
matters that affect human life in one way or another.
While these researches are conducted mainly
under the heading of constant search for the truth, many
of them are even recognized in various science research
and project competitions and paper presentations here
and abroad.
“It’s actually important to be able to do that
because it validates the hardwork you put into it and, at
the same time, you are given different perspectives that
may help you improve your research,” said Mrs. Mary
Grace Navarro, Head of the SMT Department.

Advancing
the Cause of
Science and
Technology
I
n an article entitled “The Role of Science and
Technology in the Developing World in the
21st Century,” Lee-Roy Chetty emphasized that
science and technology is a key driver to development
because technological and scientific revolutions
underpin economic advances, improvements in
health systems, education, and infrastructure. With
the world at a perpetual transformation at a rapid
pace, science and technology is undeniably a prime
catalyst for this change.
Given this vital role of science and
technology, it is then important that the youth of
today are exposed to the culture of science and
math education. To have them immersed in an
environment that fosters the role that science and
technology plays in this ever-changing world is a
matter that PSHS-IRC, considered as the eminent
science high school in the region, takes upon itself
as its duty to the world.
Thus, PSHS-IRC has conducted various
activities that underscore not only the facts and
numbers that science and related components
have produced throughout the years, but also the
fun and the exuberance it brings upon embarking
on an adventure, an adventure to a world where
curiosity abounds and can be satisfied only if one
is determined enough to find limitless answers and
possibilities to his or her questions.
The bottom line is that all of these are in the
name of PSHS’s commitment to promoting science
and mathematics education among the Filipino
youth and to providing a breeding ground for the
pursuit of truth and excellence.

Pisay Pinnasiriban, a quiz show for the National
Competitive Examination (NCE) applicants, serves
as a kick-off activity and heralds the PSHS-NCE. The
quiz bee has simultaneous Provincial Eliminations to
determine the top three placers who shall move on
to the Regional Finals. For 2015, the winners at the
Regional Finals represented the Ilocos Region to the
Inter-region Battles where they battled it out with the
Regional Finals winners of Cagayan Valley region.
Science & Te
PROMOTIONA
Tulong Dunong is a program through which
PSHS-IRC conducts orientations and enhancement
sessions on abstract reasoning, English, science,
and mathematics for Grade VI pupils of La Union,
Ilocos Sur, and Ilocos Norte to provide them with the
necessary preparation and repertoire of knowledge to
ace the NCE and, as a result, to help democratize the
entry to the PSHS System.
Technology
AL ACTIVITIES
Eureka: The Pisay Ilocos Science Camp
Eureka has become a word synonymous to
discovery and that aha-moment that leads to the best
and most relevant breakthroughs and milestones that
this world has ever witnessed.
Given this, it is then significant for the Filipino
youth to be given opportunities to appreciate the
relevance of science in their lives not only as pupils but
also as citizens of the world. More importantly, they
should be provided with the necessary appreciation of
the body of knowledge that may be the prerequisite of
what could be their own eureka moments.
Thus, it is in this context that the Philippine
Science High School-Ilocos Region Campus (PSHSIRC) launched Eureka: The Pisay Ilocos Science Camp,
an annual science camp that shall sow the seed of
appreciation and curiosity and, more importantly,
a science camp that shall be the beginning of what
lies ahead for the Philippines as far as science and
technology is concerned.

ust like the Giver in Lois Lowry’s novel, this
armada of men and women work together towards
a common goal—to nurture the Jonases (the
scholars) of PSHS-IRC and give them the necessary
things they need to go Elsewhere and explore beyond
the boundaries.
The PSHS-IRC faculty and staff understand
really well their role in the lives of the scholars. Thus,
they work with integrity and honesty. They dare to
make a difference in the lives of these young scholars
and mold them into men and women who are not only
to be this country’s next legion of intellectuals but also
to be this nation’s pool of leaders with great character
and high moral standards.
For Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza, Campus Director,
she is honored working with the faculty and staff
members of PSHS-IRC.
“I trust that, with the success that we have
achieved as an institution so far, they come to PSHSIRC simply because they love their work here in Pisay
and that they understand service to the organization is
a service to this nation,” said Dr. Orteza.
“I hope that they continue to be excellent in
everything they do. Work as if working is the only thing
that matters. But, work with integrity and honesty. Be
the paradigm of these virtues for our scholars to follow.
Give our students not your knowledge but the wisdom
to forge their own future,” added Dr. Orteza.

eant not only to recognize the efforts
of the personnel but also to serve as a
reminder of the vitality of collaboration in
an organization and sharing one’s skills, PSHS-IRC
gave awards and recognition to outstanding faculty
members and staff.
Their loyalty to the institution was also
recognized in order to acknowledge the efforts and
years of excellent service they devoted to nurturing
the northern scholars.
“No monetary endowment or reward can
actually repay what these men and women sacrifice
for the institution. The least that we can do is to show
them how they are appreciated and that their efforts
are never in vain,” said Dr. Orteza.

ROSTER OF
Towards Holistic Development
activities
Holistic development is the buzz word of today’s academic world. To put it simply, students need to develop
all their capabilities as these are required to live in the modern world.
In response to the call for holistic development, the Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System makes
it its philosophy to develop the full potential and unique giftedness of its scholars. The curriculum is designed to
develop every person’s intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative, and spiritual potentials.
While the curriculum instills a passion for learning in the scholars and inspires them to choose careers in
science and technology in order to contribute to national development, it is packed with everything else that will
help the scholars be the most that they can be.
And this is true too in PSHS-IRC. It offers all these activities and programs to hone the individual scholar
holistically. One may enter through its gates with all his or her idiosyncrasies, but he or she leaves its four corners
as multifaceted and well-rounded individuals ready to take on the challenges of the real world head on!
Aside from science-related programs, many activities are held each year to showcase talents and bring
out the best in each student. Such activities include orientation and initiation of freshman, recognition day, cardgiving day, retreat and recollection, and leadership seminars, sports fest, educational trips, SMT Week, Humanities
Week, variety shows, and a lot more.
Alternative Learning Activities (ALA) are also made available with the
cooperation of student clubs
and organizations to ensure
holistic development of students.
It is PSHS’s mission
after all to offer an
education that is humanistic
in spirit, global in
perspective,
and
patriotic in orientation.
It is based on a
curriculum that
emphasizes
science
and mathematics
as well as the
development
of
well-rounded
individuals.

LINKAGES
PARTNERSHIPS
THAT BUILD
THE FUTURE
T
he Philippine Science High School-Ilocos Region
Campus (PSHS-IRC), in recognition of the fact
that it cannot do it alone to fulfill its mandate,
has successfully forged partnerships and linkages that
have become an integral part of its processes and the
programs it advances. More importantly, it has made
affiliations with both public and private entities so that
it could deliver the kind of education that the scholars
deserve.
Truly, this intricate web of partnerships founded
on trust and a common goal is integral in honing the
scholars’ minds and developing their talents to be
harnessed for the development of this nation in the
future.
“PSHS-IRC has always been an academic
institution founded on communal partnerships. It
wouldn’t even be in existence in the first place without the
individuals and institutions that took it upon themselves
to share the task of educating the Filipino youth,” said
Dr. Ronnalee N. Orteza, Campus Director.
Give all these, the PSHS-IRC will forever be
grateful for the unrelenting support.

SUPPORTING QUALITY EDUCATION WITH
NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE AND EQUIPMENT
I
n support of the System’s mission, PSHS-IRC is committed to providing scholarships to secondary students
with high aptitude in science and mathematics. It offers an education that is humanistic in spirit, global in
perspective, and patriotic in orientation. Ultimately, it should be able to prepare its students for careers in science
and technology and contribute to nation building by helping the country attain a critical mass of professionals and
leaders in different fields.
Vital in achieving this mission is the provision of the necessary infrastructure and constantly updating its
resources.
In this regard, PSHS-IRC has recently purchased instructional materials and equipment, and it has also
advanced infrastructure development.
But why bother with infrastructure development and procurement of equipment?
PSHS-IRC believes that these are needed in the efficient delivery of its service and in order to create the
best and the most conducive learning environment. It also recognizes the fact that technology yields a meaningful
learning experience if incorporated properly in instruction.
The bottom line of all of these is to better the quality of service and improve education PSHS-IRC provides
to its clientele—the scholars.
