Pisay ‘96   In pursuit of a glorious thee.

The UP Outdoor Recreation Group (UP ORG), in cooperation with the Philippine Science High School Class of 1996 (Pisay 96), will be conducting a series of medical missions for this year in two indigenous communities: namely, the Dumagat tribes in Sierra Madre and the Aeta Tribes in San Jose, Tarlac.
The Dumagats and the Aetas depend greatly on nature to survive but only on meager supply. The Dumagats have to take a 2-hour banca ride (if there is banca available to them) to get to Norazagaray, Bulacan to trade yantok for rice, salt, and medicines. On the other hand, the Aetas have to wait for the truck that comes to their place once a week. This is where they get the chance to trade their charcoal with some supplies that the truck had brought like instant noodles, junk foods, canned goods, and medicines, if there’s any. Without the truck, the Aetas will travel by foot, carrying loads of charcoal and will arrive a day after at the marketplace. This trading system emanated greatly from need of food and medicines, although, their medical and health needs were being set aside because they can only barter for rice and salt as main necessity.

The first of the med missions will be held on August 16-17 to benefit the Dumagats of Sierra Madre particularly in the area of Norzagaray, Bulacan.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER DOCTORS AND KIND SOULS WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE OR HELP SOLICIT MEDICINE FOR THE PROJECT.

Please contact Michelle (YM: micamaldita, Mobile: 09204469728, Email: mencomienda@gmail.com) to donate, volunteer, or for any questions or concerns.

The 2nd meeting for the Ibang Klase project will be on May 10, Saturday, 4 PM in Makati (venue TBA).  For those who wish to attend, please leave a message or send an SMS or YM to Mic or Markku.

About the project:
“Ibang Klase” aims to provide children (from the area in front of Pisay) with an alternative classroom experience that highlights nationalism, environmentalism, and volunteerism. These issues will be discussed through non-traditional methods such as story-telling, arts and crafts, and poetry. This project is reminiscent of the Saturday tutorials that as high school students, we used to give to our public school counterparts. We are hoping to reach out to approximately 50 grade school-level children and 15-20 teenagers.
Date: May 24, 1:00 – 5:00 PM
Venue: Pisay Diliman

Kitakits! 

There will be a meeting at 8:00 PM tonight, 11 April 2008, at Treehouse along Matalino Street, Quezon City. We will be discussing our upcoming events, including the Ibang Klase (Alternative Classroom Learning Program, initially for children in the community in front of Pisay, and in cooperation with RockEd Philippines) and the proposed Earth Day project (clean-up climb or mangrove planting, c/o Peng).

Your support and cooperation are essential to the success of our projects. So for those of you who haven’t made any plans for tonight, we hope you can join us in planning for our upcoming events.

Maraming salamat at kitakits!

10 July, 2007 - PSHS Alumni Homecoming REGISTER NOW!
by Iggy Agbayani ‘82

Dear fellow PSHS Alumni,

RE: ON-LINE pre-registration for the Alumni Homecoming September 1, 2007

To enable us to provide a very organized and enjoyable Alumni Homecoming evening on September 1, 2007 we have created an ON-LINE pre-registration. What are the advantages of registering on-line?

a) No need to line up to register when you arrive
b) You are reserved a free ticket for food and drinks up to 7 pm (tickets not claimed on or before 7 pm will be provided to walk in alumni) We are preparing for only 600 possible attendees to the homecoming hence only 600 free tickets for food and drinks have so far been allotted.
c) Presently we are still preparing a reward or raffle ticket package for early registrants (ex. Buy one and get one free raffle ticket)
d) Early registration allows the organizers to estimate the number and the profile of attendees and therefore prepare better music, food, drinks, décor and other accommodations.
e) Souvenirs, important announcements, newsletters, postcards and other PSHS homecoming materials may now be mailed, e-mailed or even texted to you.

Please lang dear Pisay Alumnus wag nang Pasaway dahil dina orig ang ganyan, magbago ka na and REGISTER NOW!

Maraming salamat!

The 2007 Pisay Alumni Basketball League started last July 1 at the PSHS Gym, with 6 games played. Recap of the batch’s first game (vs Batch 98) is as follows:

In easily the biggest game of the opening playdate, two-time champions Batch 96 edged 3-time runners-up Batch 98, 57-55 in OT. Batch 96, featuring the dynamic duo of Jon “The Answer” Aguirre and Peng “Frisbee” Manlapaz, had a chance to ice the game in regulation, but missed FTs allowed 98 to tie and send the game to an extra period. 96 proved steadier in OT however, as they contained Karlo “The Triggerman” Hombrebueno and big man Andrew Pinlac scoreless in the last 5 minutes. Manlapaz led 96with 23 points, supported by Aguirre’s 13. Hans “Macho Man” Acain and Hombrebueno led 98 with 16 points apiece.

Standings as of July 1 are:

Bracket A
91 1-0
92 1-0
01 1-0
94 0-1
04 0-1
07 0-1

Bracket B
95 1-0
96 1-0
05 1-0
90/93 0-1
98 0-1
08 0-1

Updates on the second game, which was held last Sunday, July 8, will be posted as soon as they become available.

The next game will be on July 15, 3:20 PM, v Batch 08.

To Mr. and Mrs. Carmela Pesino, who recently got married at the Mary Immaculate Parish in Las Piñas City.

We wish you all the best in your exciting new adventure.

Sa Sabado na, July 7, yung project natin sa Bilibid Maximum Security. Kasama natin ang Rock Ed dito at madami tayong gagawin para sa mga kapwa natin Pilipino na nasa loob ng Munti. Pati na rin para sa mga pamilya nila. Sama ka.

Kulang pa tayo sa transpo budget, saka medyo magulo pa yung mga gagamitin na sasakyan sa pagsundo ng mga banda. Kung may konti kang barya, malaki maitutulong nyan. Kung pupunta ka naman at makakapagdala ng sasakyan, mabuti din yan para maisakay mo yung iba nating batchmates at iba pang volunteers. Or basta pumunta ka lang, sigurado may maitutulong ka. Pero kelangan sabihin mo na agad kay Michelle/Jao/Joey para ma-register yung pangalan mo.

May podcast pala kami, para sa inyo.

“For the unexperienced, invest in your soul.”

Kitakits!
