JM passed PhiSci’s exam

JM, our eldest son will be graduating in elementary this year. As a preparation for his high school, he took several entrance examinations in different schools among them were the Quezon City Science High (QCSHS) and the Philippine Science High School (PSHS). It was JM’s dream to study in either of these schools. He probably got his inspirations from his Ninang/Tita Liza, my younger sister, who graduated from QCSHS and his Ninong/Tito Neil, my cousin who was a graduate of PhiSci. Yesterday, we learned that the results of the PSHS entrance examination were out. Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro of the Department of Science and Technology and Chair of the Philippine Science High School System Board of Trustees announced through the school’s official website the list of successful qualifiers to the PSHS Search for Scholars for 2009. Out of 21,303 applicants, only 1,119 passed the one-step screening administered on November 15, 2008. The PSHS System has eleven (11) campuses all over the country and JM was eligible to enroll at the main campus in Quezon City. He also passed the QCSHS first screening examination last December and was scheduled to take the second screening exam this Saturday, January 31. JM’s best friend since grade I, David was likewise qualified.

God was truly kind to JM as He continually blessed him with great achievements in his studies. Swthrt and I pray that JM will continue to put God first in his life and give the honor and glory back to our Lord Jesus Christ. JM, congratulations and we are proud of you son!
