Manila Science High School (MSHS) had once more sustained its tradition of excellence as Journalism students topped numerous regional and division contests this school year. Tristan James Sim, Marielle Alyanna Zamudio and Daryl Julian Fabellon all from IV-­Faraday will move on to the National Secondary Schools Press Conference (NSSPC) to be held in Ormoc, Leyte on April 7-­13, 2013.

by Julian Bato After an absence in the mayoral post last year, Joseph Christopher Doroja of IV-­Lawrence, brought back home the city’s top position after being appointed as Boys and Girls Week 2012’s Boy Mayor.

Doroja, now the 10th Mascian mayor since the program’s inception in 1996, was chosen out of 65 student del-­egates from different public high schools in Manila.

“It was a very good experience because this is the first time I had the chance to get such privileges,” Doroja commented.

Doroja toured and spoke in differ-­ent business and academic institutions, and participated in outreaches as part of his tenure.

Doroja, along with other council-­men, also implemented several student-­oriented laws in a city student congress.

MaSci’s other delegate, Erwin John Gonda, also gained a seat in the city council as one of District 5’s coun-­cilors.

Mr. Fernando B. Orines, Manila Science High School (MSHS) Principal, sealed the agreement of the sister-­school partnership program with Incheon Yeil High School in a meeting in Manila City Hall last December 4, 2012.

Chosen students from MSHS will also be sent to the city of Incheon to undergo the same foster program this April. The new partnership will also be a venue to see IYHS and MSHS and discuss perspectives in curriculum, teaching and learning methods, and solidify consensual ties. Mrs. Precilinda Arellano, TLE Head, said that it was both a pleasure and a privilege to welcome and escort the homestay students and give them an overview of the school’s curriculum and a tour of the campus and its facilities. “We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership to be enjoyed and benefitted from by both teachers and students,” she stated.

With the collaboration of Mayor Alfredo S. Lim, the Division of City Schools Manila and the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education, selected students from South Korea visited the MSHS campus last January 14 to 18, 2013. Eighteen representatives from IYHS traveled to Manila to discover working rela-­tionships between the two secondary edu-­cation institutions. Incheon students participated in the foster program and temporarily resided in the homes of their MaScian counterparts for five days.
