Himig DOST

Dumating na ang bagong pag-asa
Ng ating bansang sinisinta
Ang DOST ay sumilang na
Lingkod ng bayan sa t'wina.

Pagtuklas ng bagong karunungan
Sa iba't ibang uring agham
Ang mithii'y kasaganaan at kaunlaran
Ng ating Lipunan.

Ibandila ang kanyang sagisag
Ya'y tanda ng pagsisikap
Pagtupad ng 'ting pangarap ay biyayang malalasap
Magpugay tayo ng sabay-sabay.

Mabuhay, mabuhay, ang DOST
Ang siyensiya'y sandigan ng maunlad na bayan
Layuni'y dakila at maipagkakapuri
Magkaisa ng dalangin para sa inang bayan.

Mabuhay, mabuhay, ang DOST
Ang siyensiya'y sandigan ng maunlad na bayan
Layuni'y dakila at maipagkakapuri
Magkaisa ng dalangin para sa inang bayan.

 

 

PSHS Hymn
English Version

Philippine Science High
Thou stands above with thy thoughts that lift
And fit all thy sons with wings To
lend us flight in the sowing of our gifts.

O Philippine Science High
Thy wisdom arms our youth
As we reach for our dreams
As we strive for our goals
As we search for the untarnished truth.

Philippine Science High
The PSHS in us will grow
And go as we wander o'er
The crests and troughs of the sea of life that flows.

O Philippine Science High
Thy light our beacon be
In our path through the world
In our fight for the right
In pursuit of a glorious thee.



PSHS Hymn
Bicol Version

Philippine Science High
Ladawan nn kadonongan
Kaaraman dagdagan
Sa pagheras nin samong kakayahan.

O Philippine Science High
Kusog nin mga joven
Na maabot an pag-mawot
Makamtan katuyuhan
Makua an katotoohan.

Philippine Science High
An PSH magtalubo sa samo
Sa paglakaw niamo
Sa pag-hampang sa agyat nin buhay.

O Philippine Science High
Ika an samong ilaw
Sa samuyang paglakaw
Sa dalan nin kinaban
Makamtan ang kamurawayan.

 

Panata ng Bayan sa Kalikasan


Sumusumpa ako sa ngalan ng bukas
Na ipagtatanggol ko ang kalikasan
Mamahaling tapat, upang tayong lahat
Ay magtamasa ng biyaya ng Maykapal.
Bawat hakbang nitong sumpa ay aking gagawin
Sa salita, sa isip, at gawa
Nang ang pagtatanggol sa kalikasan
Ay maging taos pusong panata ng bayan

Sumusumpa akong aalagaan ko
Sumusumpa akong kakalingain ko
Ang kalikasan at kapiligiran ko
At pagmumulan ito ng bagong pag-asa.

Sumusumpa akong aalagaan ko
Sumusumpa akong kakalingain ko
Ang kalikasan at kapiligiran ko
At pagmumulan ito ng bagong pag-asa.

Sumusumpa akong gagawing ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya
Upang maging ligtas at magandang tahanan ang mundo
Para sa ngayon at sa hinaharap na salinlahi.

Isang sumpang maghahatid ng bagong pag-asa
At pagmumulan ng tunay na pag-unlad
Tulungan nawa ako ng Maykapal
Tulungan nawa ako ng Maykapal.

 

 

Panunumpa ng Lingkod Bayan (2021)


Ako ay isang lingkod bayan.
Pangangalagaan ko ang tiwalang ipinagkaloob ng mamamayan.
Maglilingkod ako nang may malasakit, katapatan, at kahusayan na walang kinikilingan.


Magiging mabuting halimbawa ako, at magbibigay ng pag-asa at inspirasyon sa
aking kapwa lingkod bayan.


Lilinangin ko ang aking sariling kakayahan upang sa lahat ng panahon ay
mapaglingkuran ko nang buong kahusayan ang sambayanan.


Hindi ako makikibahagi sa mga katiwalian sa pamahalaan.
Pipigilan at isisiwalat ko ito sa pamamagitan ng tama at angkop na pamamaraan.


Isasabuhay ko ang isang lingkod bayang maka-Diyos, maka-tao, makakalikasan at
makabansa.


Tutugon ako sa mga hamon ng makabagong panahon tungo sa adhikain ng
matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay.
Sa mga tungkulin at hangaring ito, kasihan nawa ako ng Maykapal.

 

The Philippine Science High School started as the Philippine Science High School - Camarines Sur Campus with the director, seven teachers and 27 first year students. There was no own campus and everything was makeshift. There was so many challenges on the part of director, teachers and students. Each has to make adjustments in their new life in PISAY - CSC.

The director, Dr. Gregilda S. Pan was always there to support and encourage the students. She stood tall amidst all the problems and misunderstanding. She gave hope to the pioneer batch that it will all be temporary.

The pioneer teachers are Mr. Miguel Lavadia, who taught Health, Arts and Woodworking before now teaches Biology and Arts, Mr. Arnel Bermejo who still teaches Math 1 until now. Mrs. Joy Olazo who taught Values Education before, now she is teaching English. Mr. Jay Bassig who taught Filipino and Social Science, now teaches only the latter. Mr. Sevedeo Malate, who until now teaches Computer Science, Mrs. Elsie Ferrer who taught Integrated Science now the campus director, and Mr. Armin Apostol who was the Boys Dormitory Manager now teaches Values Education. It was hard for them to adjust after all they are still employed in San Rafael National High School.

The pioneer batch also experienced the hardship of being the first batch. The boys slept in folding beds in makeshift dormitories and the girls have to travel to and from the boarding house. There was limited supply of books and facilities.

It was not all hardships and pains, there were also good times and happy moments. since the students are only few there was a great bonding between students and between students and teachers. The teachers also act as guardian and friend of students. The students not only talk to the teachers of lessons but also about their lives and problems.

They all held on for they know that this situation will just be temporary and the fruits of what they are doing will be sweet.

Now, it all paid off because the pioneer batch are graduating with flying colors when it comes to University Entrance Examinations and the director, teachers and the following year levels will already have their own campus.

 Agency’s Mandate and Primary Function

The Philippine Science High School System is dedicated to providing relevant secondary education with emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and aimed at preparing students to become globally competitive Filipino science and technology leaders and professionals imbued with core values of integrity, excellence, and service to the nation.  Moreover, the PSHS System is committed to continual improvement and compliance with existing statutory and regulatory requirements.
 

VISION

We are the leading science high school in the Asia Pacific Region preparing our scholars to become globally competitive Filipino scientists equipped with 21st-century skills and imbued with the core values of Integrity, Excellence, and Service to the Nation.
 

MISSION

Advancing premier high school STEM education for the people.

The strategic goals and objectives of the PSHS System are anchored on its FORWARD framework below.

 


The PSHS System’s Strategic Plan for 2022-2028 and its corresponding goals and objectives are anchored on the FORWARD Framework.


 

Future-proof education means that the PSHS curriculum offerings will be enriched and be soundly based on the science of learning and evidence-based research. We need to embrace further technology and digital transformation. We need to rethink instructional delivery and assessment. The pandemic demands a hybrid approach to education. Future-proof education also demands that PSHS teach students analytical skills and develop their creativity to cope with the new ways of living, thinking, learning, working, and building communities through science, technology, and innovation in the digital era.

Optimum human resource development aims to help build career paths for people and solve problems that arise within the organization, moving from compliance to leadership.

Reengineering administrative processes targets to improve organizational performance by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes that exist across the organization.

World-class outputs based on well-defined standards challenge us to advance our own level of quality measurement based on a prominent model of comparative measurement which we can objectively use in making judgments.

Accessible intellectual property through appropriate use for public use and economic value means that outputs of government-funded research that resulted in intellectual property should lead to commercialization or utilization for the public good.

Recognizable brand of STEM education upholds the PSHS niche in terms of quality and variety of academic offerings.

Deepening socio-emotional skills advocates the development of crucial social and emotional life skills among PSHS students, teachers, and leaders by establishing a more caring school environment and climate.
