A total of 71 faculties and students from the Philippine Science High School (PSHS also called as Pisay) graduated during the Invent School’s first commencement exercises held at the Makati Diamond Residences Hotel in Makati City on Friday, 5 July 2019.
The event was hosted by the Technology Application and Promotion Institute of the Department of Science and Technology and was the first of capacity building for high school faculties and students under the Human Resource Development Program (HRDP) funding entitled. “Capacity Building for Philippine Science High School for the Invent School Implementation.”
The Institute handed over the certificates of completion to various Pisay faculty members & students and will be the mentors for future ISP implementation and training.
DOST Undersecretary for Scientific and Technical Services Dr. Carol M. Yorobe who was also a former director of DOST-TAPI graced the event with her inspirational message.
“The Department is truly grateful to have such an enthusiastic team of dedicated and tremendous team players. I am confident that TAPI and PISAY will continue to reach out to our young Filipinos,” DOST Undersecretary for Scientific and Technical Services, Dr. Carol M. Yorobe said during her inspirational message. She also commended the PISAY and TAPI partnership.
Since 2008, the Invent School was able to contribute in pushing the Science and Technology, and Innovation (STI) culture for the young Filipino students by the continuous implementation of the program.
“Invent School has been successful to reach over 900 schools and more 7,000 students nationwide,” said DOST-TAPI Director Edgar Garcia during his welcome remarks.
“The program was also able to expand its service in northernmost and southernmost part of the country,” he added.
Furthermore, Atty. Marion Ivy D. Decena stressed the task of PISAY as the first batch and new pool of experts.
“We are grateful that our first batch of “Trail blazers” accepted our challenge to step up. Today, you will join the line that will take the responsibility and will work to make full use of the learnings you have acquired.” Atty. Decena added.
The Trail blazers will be partnered with TAPI in Invent School trainors during the conduct of the program. This will expand the program to the areas of the country that have not reach yet.
Subsequently, Mr. Michael Casas of PSHS-Southern Mindanao was given the Exemplary OJT Award for his outstanding participation during the conduct of ISP.
Finally, the Invent School also recognized the TAPI in-house experts for their continued hard work and dedication as the resource speakers for 11 years of the Invent School.
