Students from the two science high schools in Taguig City dominated the latest round of academic competitions in different locations and divisions in Metro Manila last month.

Topping the list is Cy M. Rodriguez, a 4th year student at the Senator Renato “Companero” Cayetano Memorial Science and Technology High School (SRCC-MSTHS), who bested 66 other students from Muntinlupa, Taguig and Pateros (MUNTAPAT) to be crowned champion in the 33rd National Quiz Bee Division Championships held last Feb. 23 at San Beda in Alabang.

Because of the win, Rodriguez will be representing the division in the National Quiz Bee Regional Championships.

To prove of Taguig City’s dominance in the competition, Michael Angelo Zafra of the Taguig Science High School (TSHS) came in 2nd place.

Mayor Lani Cayetano commended those who won in the competition, saying their victories highlighted the pursuit of academic excellence in all of the schools in Taguig City.

“Once more we are reminded that we made a very good investment when we prioritize education in Taguig City. I congratulate the students, as well as their schools, teachers and parents, for proving once again that Taguig is a center of academic excellence not only in Metro Manila but in the whole country as well,” Mayor Lani said.

“Rest assured that we will continue to pour in more funds in order to strengthen the education sector in our city.”

Also last February 23, SRCC-MSTHS’s Aljan Balbuena proceeded to qualify for the next round of the International Mathematics Assessment for School (IMAS).

Balbuena is a member of the team of SRCC-MSTHS that carted away with the championship in the 5th MTG- Sharp Math Trail and Problem Solving Competition last Jan. 26. The rest of team are Joshua Cuballes, Solon Roi Loro and Marella Iris Palces.

This is the second year SRCC-MSTHS won the top prize in the Math Trail Competition.

TSHS also has its share of championships when it dominated the Mathematics quiz bee by taking first place of the 7th Mathira Mathibay last Feb. 21.

A team from the SRCC-MSTHS cornered the 2nd place, followed by students from the Western Bicutan High School. A total of nine teams from the MUNTAPAT division participated in the event.

Last February 12, Anne Beatrice N. Maranon of SRCC-MSTHS became the first student from the Taguig-Pateros district to be named champion in the Panrehiyong Maunawaing Pagbasa sa Filipino. In bringing home the title, Maranon beat the representatives of 16 other divisions from the Department of Education- National Capital Region (DEPED-NCR).

Also, a team from TSHS composed of Michael Angelo Zafra and Mary Joy Razalan won the championship in the Reading Proficiency Contest held last January.

Also last January, students Emmanuel Joseph Magnaye, Kenneth Jay Alaba, Michael Angelo Zafra and Marriel Kayne Malate from Taguig Science High School won first place at the MTAP Division Level. ###

Ipinagmalaki ni Mayor Lani Cayetano ang paghakot ng parangal ng mga estudyanteng Taguigueno sa iba’t ibang torneyo na kanilang nilahukan.
