To show appreciation for the hard work of its employees, Philippine Science High School – Eastern Visayas Campus (PSHS-EVC) held Pagbati 2024 in the campus gymnasium on October 7, 2024.

The event, headed by the Student Alliance (SA), served as the school’s official culminating activity for National Teachers’ Day. The activity was not limited only to the teaching staff but also included other employees.

Pagbati 2024 formally kicked off with an opening message by PSHS-EVC’s SA President Clarence Jude Tabinas.

In his message, Tabinas expressed his thanks to the various employees of PSHS-EVC, saying that the program was meant to show the appreciation of the student body for them.

“Together, each and every one of you plays a vital role in our stay in Pisay, making it so much more memorable,” he said. “Today, we, the student body, would like to show our heartfelt appreciation through this program, prepared especially for you,” he added.

The PSHS-EVC community tribute followed shortly in the form of a video showcasing the dedication and commitment of the employees to their work. Afterward, Pisayaw, the official dance troupe of the campus, presented a performance as their way of showing thanks to the employees. 

The event then culminated with the gift-giving ceremony and was formally concluded with a song performance by PSHS-EVC’s very own student choir, Musikanta.

Pagbati 2024 was held to highlight the efforts and contributions of the school’s faculty and staff and to show the gratitude of the student body for their services.
