Ellaine Plaga, a second year ANSHS, student bagged 2nd place in the 11th National Science Quest held at Teachers’ Camp, Baguio City on February 10-12. She was a Cluster 2, Individual Category, Life Science contender.

Aside from Plaga’s victory, seven other students from ANSHS were among the top 10 finalists from 50 contenders all throughout the country.

These students are Donn Kirby Lumayag (Life Science, Individual Category); Luke John Delos Reyes, Zyril Jay Clavel and Prince Jann Dela Cruz (Applied Science, Team Category) and Mae Antonette Espanto, Christine Joy Gomez and Yona Justine Africa (Life Science, Team Category).

This annual event organized and sponsored by the National Association of Science Educators of the Philippines aimed to enhance the science and research skills and develop the camaraderie amongst young scientists.

This years’ theme was “Science and Technology Advancement: Enhancing Quality of Life Through Invention and Research”.

Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon volunteered to help the eight researchers in their future research endeavors. He said these students have a brighter future in the field of science, thus a P2 million worth of science laboratory will be put up to enhance the skills and competency of the students of ANSHS.
 
Admiring comments were also given to their advisers Dexter Necor and Michelle Pardillo for their untiring support to the students.

The researchers were planning to join in other national and even international science fair competitions. “I am willing to contribute to the future evolutions of your study,” Gov. Solon added. (Zyril Clavel of ANSHS for SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
