[NEWS] LHSIANS SHINE BRIGHT AT THE RECENT MATH COMPETITIONS
Recently, LHS celebrated the achievements of .. two students, Yosef Glenn D. Marapao and , GJ Jeremias S Famero, for their participation in the Philippine International Mathematical Olympiad (PHIMO) from September 20-23 and the National Mathletics Contest (NMC) on October 20, respectively
Yosef, from 10-Bookkeeping, shared that he wanted to give back to LHS for helping him improve his skills He found the preparation challenging but managed to learn difficult topics despite initial doubts Yosef expressed pride in his accomplishments, stating, “I would say I feel accomplished, as my achievements exceeded my expectations,” and he is eager to participate again
as an advantage ”
Meanwhile, Sir Zacky Taplac, the adviser of LHS’ Eureka Mathematics Coordinating Club (EMC) gave insights into the process of both contests and the hardships that they faced “Madami Madaming hardships Madaming difficulties noong training ” , he responded
On the other hand, GJ Famero of 8-Loyalty, is another promising student that represented LHS in the National Mathletics Competition (NMC)
He says that his mother and his mentor, Sir Zacky Taplac were the catalysts that led him into representing LHS in the NMC “My mother was the one who led me to pursue the opportunity to represent our school She always told me to grab opportunities whenever I had the chance
Also, my mentor, Sir Zacky, already put me as a participant in the competition ” , he explained
GJ recalled a challenging question that frustrated him during contest practice “The hardest part of the contest by far was the one question in which I tried every solution possible but none of it worked ” , he stated “I proceeded to think that the question itself was flawed ” , he said
He also recalled a question which he had forgotten how to solve “There was also one part that required me to solve it, but it needed the formula which I totally forgot.” he added.
Despite facing challenges during the contest preparation, he felt accomplished “I received an amazing result It also feels more fulfilling because my preparation paid off,” he said He was satisfied with his placement, noting, “I did really well despite limited preparation time, But, there is still room for improvement so I think I can definitely improve and get more achievements in the future ” When asked about future participation, he expressed enthusiasm: “I wish to grab every opportunity I get and make use of it
“First ‘ yung paano namin i-schedule ‘ yung review na face-to-face Medyo mahirap kasi ‘ yung setup na online, mas effective pa ang face-toface Maraming oras sila sa schedule nila sa academics, tapos may mga extracurriculars pa sila, sa org nila, sa other activities pa, sa projects, so ang unang problem talaga is, how to get this schedule na free ako, free ‘ yung mga contestants ” To address the issue, the team began conducting online reviews on weekends, though this still posed challenges
“And then, another difficulty is, ‘ yung resources namin Ang goal dapat namin is ma-explore namin sila sa mga questions ng mga users, dahil iba-iba ‘ yung trending questions na binibigay ng mga quizzers ” Participants will share contest questions with Sir Zacky or the group to learn and pass knowledge to future generations
Reflecting on the overall experiences on the contests, Mr Taplac responded, “Maraming frustrations Maraming times na makukuha na dapat namin, pero hindi Satisfied ba kami sa mga result? Depende Depende sa contest kung nag-effort kami tapos hindi namin nakuha or sometimes hindi kami nag-effort and hindi rin kami nakuha So, hindi naman kami naghahanap ng maayos na result kung ganoon ”
Sir Zacky also emphasized the relevance of practice and preparation for the contestants
“You have to master, memorize, para in times na complicated na ‘ yung questions maaapply nila kaagad ”
Overall, Yosef Marapao and GJ Famero’s achievements in their respective contests serve as an inspiration towards the students of LHS their achievements serve as proof of their hard work and resilience
As they look forward into their LHS career, they become models for the future LHSians, encouraging them to embrace hardships and strive for academic excellence in their pursuits
In the school year 2024-2025, the PUP Laboratory High School embraces the warm welcomes of freshmen, new agendas, and a new student board In reference to the student body, a much anticipated event occurred in the PUPLHS’ Multipurpose Hall on September 6, 2024 the Meeting de Avance of the parties, Tunay and Tinig

Abot-taingang mga ngiti, mga hiyawang 'sing lakas ng kulog na tila yata ay walang bukas, at 'sing init ng kape na pagmamahal
Noong ika-8 ng Oktubre 2024, ipinagdiriwang ang araw ng mga guro na ginanap sa Politeknikong
Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Laboratory High School Sa pamamagitan ng isang programa na pinangungunahan ng mga iba't ibang organisasyon Naghatid ito ng kagalakan na hindi malilimutan sa mga guro at magaaral
Sinimulan ang programa sa isang panalangin, at pagkatapos nito ay naglabasan ang abot taingang mga ngiti habang ipinakilala ang mga dakilang guro Sunod nito, sinabayan naman ng malakas na alon ng musika ang pagrampa ng mga nagniningning na mga bituin, na nagbunga ng walang-humpay na hiyawan. Nabigla ang iba dahil tila raw ay may ka-lookalike sila, ngunit ang iba naman ay nagsabi ng "Kaloka!"
Isa ito sa mga pangyayari na ginanap noong Araw ng mga Guro na tinatawag na "Kalokalike", na nanggaling sa It's ShowTime isang palabas sa telebisyon Isang talent show ang "Kalokalike" na kung saan naglaban-laban ang mga kalahok na nagbibigay ng kanilang pinakamahusay na paggaya sa isang sikat na tao Ngunit sa pangyayari na ito, hindi paggaya sa isang sikat na tao ang naganap kundi ang paggaya sa mga guro
Isa pa sa mga pangyayari na ginanap noong Araw ng mga Guro ay ang mga sayawang dumadaloy sa tugtog ng musika, mga awiting masasarap sa tenga, at mga maikling palaro na pinangungunahan ng mga iba't ibang organisasyon At nangyari rin ang pagpapanood ng isang video na inihandog ng Buklod Diwa kung saan ang mga mag-aaral sa bawat baitang ay nagbahagi ng panayam tungkol sa kanilang sa mga guro
ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral ng pagmamahal para sa mga guro, sa pamamagitan ng pag-awit ng "With A Smile" na kanta ng bandang Eraserheads. Mensahe ng programang ito ang pasasalamat sa mga bayaning guro na patuloy na gumagabay sa bawat kabanata ng ating buhay Sa kanilang mga makabuluhang aral at magagandang asal na itinuro, sa kanilang pagiging magandang ehemplo at inspirasyon, at sa pagsilbing liwanag sa dilim, nararapat na sila ay pasalamatan at bigyang halaga sa ating buhay
Sa panghuli ng programa, nagbuhos
Maraming Salamat, Titser!
Maningning na Panimula, Para sa Bagong Simula

On the other hand, GJ Jeremias Famero accorded his challenges compellingly as he participated in the National Mathletics Challenge last October 20, 2024 together with Zianne Revilo Ortiz and Maria Zipphora Gonzales, who willingly represented PUPLHS in the contest proper He described the event as “intense,” as 1000+ students from different schools contended. Even so, he earned a silver award for his competency, which was triggered by trials he had to encounter.
Similar to Yosef’s situation, GJ stated that he didn't know how to start answering the difficult questions as he only encountered them that time He had to keep in mind the formulas that required further understanding on how to use them in answering problems in the test Their true nature of being math wizards awakens in these occurrences, (;) only the certified math professionals could infer these activities
“Behind every successful athlete, there is a responsible coach”, a quote once stated by Paul Bamikole, is a quote linked to Yosef and GJ both trained by math professionals “The knowledge they shared with me really guided me ” But who are these strivingly responsible coaches? As a token of gratitude, the awarded students embedded within their minds the support and guidance they have received from their kuyas, classmates, and their adviser, Mr Zacky Taplac Eureka Mathematics Coordinating Club’s adviser Yosef’s appreciation for Sir Zac and his classmates fostered the importance of unwavering support and trust his companions have for him “Kahit maliit na bagay lang ‘to, I owe everything to you guys. ” As for GJ, he recognized the significance of his tutors kuya Rejirey Fernandez and kuya Zianne Ortiz and the guidance they’ve brought to him. “...I will do .

Pressure is what anyone would have felt if they were in Yosef’s spot; however, this wasn’t he dealt with during his preparations for the said competition He focused more on the material he needed to learn in order to respond effectively to each question For preparation, he enrolled in the Virtual Topic-Appropriate Mathematics Program and Simulation (VTAMPS) “Parang 3 weeks review session siya sanctioned by PhIMO para sa kanilang Final Round ” Even after this review session, he still studied furthermore about the questions provided to them and how to answer correspondingly.
Fueled by dedication, he still faced some challenges that equipped him even more to obtain preciseness. Although there were unfamiliar topics in mathematics that he had to comprehend, in the end he was able to solve all

e still have a few months to go before the 2024 Pacific Typhoon Season comes to an end Who knows?
Many factors can go unpredicted when it comes to Meteorology Let’s take a look at the information about the storm that just impacted the Philippines Tropical Storm “Trami”, locally known in the Philippines as “Severe Tropical Storm Kristine” is the 20th named storm of the annual 2024 Pacific Typhoon Season Initially, the storm was originally a low pressure area that formed just by Guam Subsequently, the circulation got embedded into an elongated area of low pressure known as a trough This trough extended from the Philippines to the west of Guam The trough would then alter the path of Trami towards the Philippines Trami would later become a tropical depression heading westward and into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) Afterwards, Trami would intensify into a tropical storm and would be named “Kristine” by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), officially becoming the 11th tropical cyclone to enter the PAR On October 23, 2024, as Kristine (Trami) is about to make landfall in Northern Luzon, Kristine would intensify into a Severe Tropical Storm (STS), resulting in PAGASA declaring a Tropical Wind Signal No 3 on areas that were in the direct path of Kristine; mainly in Northern and Central Luzon and areas that were in close proximity were rated Tropical Wind Signal No 1, and 2
Being prepared is always lifesaving as many things can go unexpectedly during a storm Flood water seeping in your floors can be terrifying, but time isn’t your friend right now, as floods can rise dangerously fast A key factor for these floods to rise is when it’s high tide as high tide can elevate the flood more than if it were a low tide That is why floods are more deadly when it’s a high tide Saving your belongings is also an important thing to do when flood water seeps in It is important to put your belongings in a more higher area Mainly, electric wires or other objects with electric properties such as electricity and water are not good friends
But it is strongly advised to do so even before it starts flooding But also don’t forget to drive your vehicle to a more elevated area, safe from floods Insects can also be really annoying when there is a flood since these little critters can enter your home, serving it a place to stay, and to protect their lives Finding the holes where they enter and sealing them can relieve your annoyance when times of floods
panitikan
Sa bawat paggising, isa lamang ang nasa isip
Lastly, if submerging into flood water is necessary, it is important to consider avoiding electric poles, whereas there are cases of people getting electrocuted from these electric poles
PAGASA uses the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) System in order to warn the public about the strong winds a Tropical Cyclone may harbor, which is leveled into 5 categories With Tropical Wind Signal No 1 being the weakest, and No 5 being the most dangerous As Kristine was a Severe Tropical Storm, the highest rating was TCWS #3
Tropical Cyclones are dangerous in many forms and a storm surge is a very dangerous effect of a Tropical Cyclone Flash flooding may occur which can leave people in a highly vulnerable situation, especially people on low ground Flooding can also threaten life and property in many ways As flood water can carry sharp shrapnel and objects from buildings, people can get lacerated from these Flood water contains many bacteria - leptospirosis being the most common People or animals may get electrocuted from flood water that carries electric currents from electric poles And lastly, people may get swept by the currents of flood water and drown We should not only consider floods as our only problem Dangerously fast winds that a storm acquires can also carry stray dangerous materials in the air Getting impacted from these, you will definitely sustain injuries
Kristine would have then exited the PAR and headed westwards of Vietnam Trami (formerly Kristine) is forecasted to dissipate after impacting Vietnam Now that you have some knowledge about Tropical Cyclones and their dangers, this may come in handy when you are actually in these situations
PUPLHS’ Science group ATOMOS attends the PICC Science Event
What is NYSTIF? NYSTIF was an event organized by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with the theme STEM VIBE: Engaging the Youth in Providing Solutions and Opening Opportunities This event s objective was to promote involvement in science and technology through multiple activities, exhibits and learning opportunities in a vibrant innovative brilliant and engaging (VIBE) process
The event started with an opening ceremony to greet the students and other participants, after that they had a Kwentuhan with SciComm Idols: Timothy James Dimacali, the Vice-President of SciComm Philippines, Ruby Shaira Panela a Media Relations Specialist Mark Joseph Tinao Director of Lasallian Institute for the 9sitEnvironment, and Mikael Angelo S Francisco, CoFounder and Editor-in-Chief of FlipScience ph They talked about career opportunities the current state of science communication in the country and the ongoing challenge posed by Artificial Intelligence One of the topics were “Hindi totoong hindi mahilig ang Pinoy sa science ” stated by Timothy James Dimacali He then talked about how we Filipinos were always so curious about new, scientific stuff happening in the Philippines There were also other fun and interactive exhibits they engaged on such as a planetarium that shows information on planets zodiacs and constellations a reading corner to read informational books, a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) simulator a Van de Graaff generator a wire loop/buzz wire game learning more about cells with the use of Augmented Reality (AR) Virtual Reality (VR) booths, a Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and Weather Hazards Kahoot game a freedom wall,a photo booth, a terrain/flood simulator and a pokemon-like booth that is about science

Some other booths showed more information abou Sterile Insect Technique (SIT against Dengue, From Canopy to Canvas: Exploring the Science and Art o Leaves which is a workshop that lets people gain awareness on the importance of sustainable forestry practices Volcanic and Earthquake Hazards, wood identification Bamboo Musical Instrument (BMI) Innovation and R&D Program, Digitelazation, Safatos Program, Collaborative Robots, Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) Technology and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Overall, ATOMOS had lots of fun in the PICC Science Event while gaining new knowledge about science
“BAWAT HAKBANG”
Bagama't hindi nakatulog nang mahimbing, ang mata’y may ningning
Tumatakbo, tumatakbo, hinahabol na naman ang dyip
Sa dyip na kay sikip, tulala habang iniisip ang daang tatahakin
Sa pagpasok sa silid-aralan, “Oh? Nahuli ka na naman?”
Ang agad na bungad at pagbati
Sa simula ng klase, katawan ko’y ‘di mapakali
Lumapit sa mga kaklase, nagsimula na ang biruan
Halos hindi tumigil sa lokohan, ngunit biglang nagbukas ang pintuan
Pagbati ng guro ang naging hudyat upang itigil ang tawanan
Nagsulat sa harapan, nadagdagan muli ang kaalaman
Ang unang klase ay malapit ng matapos
Sa oras naman, ako’y kinakapos
Ang gawain ay muling pinasa
Utak ko ay muli na namang nahasa
Pagtipon-tipon naman para sa isang proyekto
Hindi kilala ang mga miyembro
Buti na lang nariyan ang kaibigan ko,
Kasama patungo sa magand
ang grado
Sa silid-aralan, mga gawain ay pinag-usapan
Mahirap ngunit puno ng tawanan
Sa pagtapos, nagkaroon agad ng bagong kaibigan
Nagkaroon muli ng bagong sandigan
Ilang klase na ang natapos, malapit na rin ang uwian
“Paalam at salamat” sambit ng klase sa gurong walang tigil ang kasipagan
Kaniyang kasipagan, aming hinahangaan
Natapos ang araw nang may maraming natutuhan
Kaakbay ang kaibigan, uuwi na mula sa sintang paaralan
Sabay sa paghakbang, pinag-uusapan ang mga karanasan
Kami’y naglalakad sa Lardizabal, usok na kay kapal
Sa paaralang ito, ako’y napamahal

at isang balakid ito para sa PUP dahil sa budget cut Mula kasi sa iminungkahing pondo na 11.8 bilyong piso para sa taong 2025, 3.39 bilyong piso lamang ang inaprubahan ng gobyerno Ito ang rason kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay hindi malutas ang problema ng PUP pagdating sa kaayusan ng mga pasilidad At ang dahilan ng imposibleng pakikibahagi sa
