To our dear students, Antonio Brown once said: “The journey is never-ending. There’s always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what’s right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.”

The Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas Campus (PSHS-EVC) held Pasidungog 2021-2022: The Virtual Recognition Program last October 7, 2022, in honor of the exceptional skills and academic excellence showcased by the PSHS-EVC students in the previous academic year. The event took place at the PSHS-EVC Gymnasium, while simultaneously being streamed through the EVC Direct Facebook Group.  

Grades 10 to 12 students and all members of the school faculty were invited to witness the recognition program at the campus gymnasium during the universal break last Friday at 4 PM.

The program commenced with an invocation and the singing of the Philippine National Anthem. It was then followed with the warm, welcoming remarks of Ms. Yvonne Esperas, the Campus Director. Dr. Alfred J. Miralles, a PSHS-EVC alumnus, also delivered a keynote address to further motivate the scholars to continue persevering in future endeavors. “Slow and steady wins the race,” he emphasized throughout his speech. 

The announcement of the director’s listers and awardees of SY 2021-2022 followed afterward. The Curriculum & Instruction Division Chief, Mrs. Ana Riza Gozon, introduced the student awardees, beginning with the lower grade levels and finishing off with the senior year students. Amidst the program were intermission numbers by talented scholars, Troyann Justin Pallones and John Luwenzky Jorge, who showcased their musical prowess.

Mr. Dennis Juabot, the Students Services Division Chief, concluded the event by expressing his gratitude to all participants and facilitators for their contribution to the program’s success.
