If you ’ re reading this, the yearbook is officially complete and yes, we persevered through Canva crashes, deadline chaos, and the mystery of vanishing fonts. Rest assured, this wasn’t AI-generated (unless Astoundingly Impressive effort counts). Creating this yearbook mirrored the classic group project: deadlines looming, quiet breakdowns, some not doing their work, and collective confusion. Yet amidst the trials, we, the Editorial Board, curated something truly memorable. This isn’t just a compilation, it’s a collection of our intellect, quirks, and quietly heroic endurance. Special mention to our very active Lead Designer and Lead Writer, whom worked day and night to deliver this exciting Yearbook. Flip through memory lane and we hope you appreciate what you’ll see, read, and remember.
With love, typos, and mild trauma, A. J. Zane Llamas

Working together on various activities helped us forge strong bonds with our peers. The lessons learned at the STE Camp equipped us with knowledge and values that will serve us well in the future, making it an unforgettable experience!
Robotics ACTIVITIES
In a year powered by passion, the students of the STE Program proved that robotics is more than just machines; it’s a movement. Throughout the school year, they have shown unwavering dedication in the field of robotics. Actively participating in prestigious competitions such as the Philippine Robotics Olympiad (PRO), Philippine National Minecraft Education Competition, First Lego League (FLL), DOST TRC Girls and Gears, and many more—They proudly showcased their skills, teamwork, and innovation.
From building and programming to presenting their ideas, these young minds consistently represented their school with excellence, proving that their love for robotics goes beyond the classroom. Their hard work has made this school year a true celebration of science, technology, and creativity.
Under the theme “Earth Allies,” two teams stood not just as competitors but as advocates for a future where technology and nature walk hand in hand. Placing 17th and 30th among a sea of brilliant minds, they carried more than robots—they carried the weight of their passion, the lessons of failure, and the strength of unity. In every wire and code was a silent promise that even in small victories, they were shaping a world that remembers to care.
DOST TRC Girls and Gears
The Silent Force of the Robotics Team
Behind every robot built, every code written, and every challenge conquered stood a guiding light Ma’am Arianne Catibog. Her unwavering dedication, quiet strength, and belief in her students fueled each success, from the tense moments of competition to the quiet hours of preparation. More than a coach, she was a mentor, a motivator, and the heart of every team. Every victory was not just the students’ alone, but a reflection of her tireless support and the legacy she continues to build in every young mind she inspires.

At the forefront of technological innovation was a group of former Photons, now leading a tech company that creates AI companions for mental health. Their motto? “Powered by Light, Guided by Heart.” Their CEO was once known for their witty comebacks and now hailed as a genius entrepreneur.

Suddenly, I found myself in the future, witnessing where life had taken the brilliant, quirky, and passionate students of this class.
Some Photons pursued science with unmatched passion several were found exploring Mars, developing sustainable energy, or even decoding genetic diseases. One of them, who used to nap during Science class, became a Nobel Prize winner for inventing a cure for insomnia go figure!
Others channeled their creativity into the arts A former doodler during math lectures was now a famous animator, with their series taking the streaming world by storm Another Photon, who once composed songs for school events, was headlining world tours and winning Grammys

THE CLASS
SECTION
This page is dedicated to our legendary STE Class Advisers— part mentor, part counselor, part superhero (minus the cape, but we wouldn’t be surprised if they had one hidden somewhere). They didn’t just teach us formulas and facts; they helped us figure out life, one meltdown and milestone at a time.
They were there to decode our academic confusion, steer us toward our goals, and occasionally remind us that Google isn’t always the answer. Whether it was career advice, time management tips, or emotional pep talks between classes, they always knew exactly what we needed—even before we did.
Thanks to them, our school days weren’t just bearable—they were brilliant, chaotic, and filled with purpose. And let’s be real: we probably wouldn’t have made it through without their magical mix of patience, wisdom, and perfectly timed sarcasm.
SIR FERDINAND RYAN Y. TAGUBA
GRADE10ADVISER
Sir Ryan is known for his strict and straightforward approach, a trait that commands both attention and respect in the classroom. He often comes off as intense his stern voice and serious demeanor can be downright horrifying to those who don’t know him well. His hot-headedness, especially when things aren’t done right, can easily shake a student’s nerves. Yet beneath that tough exterior is someone who genuinely wants the best for every learner. His no-nonsense attitude is never about power or pride; it’s about making sure each student rises to the challenge and gives their best effort.
Despite his fiery personality, Sir Ryan is actually incredibly gentle-hearted. Time and time again, he has shown a surprising amount of patience when students struggle. Rather than scolding or giving up, he takes the time to explain, clarify, and support—always making sure his students don’t walk away confused. He may raise his voice in the moment, but his actions are laced with care. It becomes evident to those who pay attention that his heart is in the right place. He doesn’t just teach lessons he makes sure they are understood, felt, and remembered.
Throughout the school year, his presence left a lasting mark. The student not only learned valuable lessons but also found inspiration in Sir Ryan’s passion and dedication. The contrast between his intimidating front and his quietly caring nature made the experience all the more meaningful. Behind every sharp word was a desire to help, and behind every demanding moment was the heart of a teacher who truly cared. For that, the student holds a deep sense of appreciation and will carry Sir Ryan’s lessons far beyond the classroom walls.
WSIR JON-JON L. ENCOMIENDA
GRADE9ADVISER
e, section Vector, are very thankful to have sir Jon Jon L. Encomienda as our adviser. We appreciate his unwavering support and guidance to our growth and success. As our class adviser, he never failed to encourage us to strive for excellence and bring out our potentials. Sir Jon-Jon's teaching and dedication to our learning inspire us every day to be motivated and to never give up. Whether through classroom discussions or having a chat with each other, he has created an environment where we feel safe in our classroom.
His encouragement extends far beyond just academics; he also taught us about resilience, cooperation, and unity to overcome any obstacles we face. There had been moments when misunderstandings arose, but they don’t compare to the care he gave us. Sir Jon-Jon always prioritized the well-being of the class and always gave reassurance and support during challenging times. He listened to our concerns and addressed them with empathy, which helped us to cope and be united as a class.
We humbly concede that words cannot express our deepest gratitude for sir Jon-Jon's commendable efforts in teaching and genuineness. Truly, he has proven to be a remarkable and exceptional guide to our educational journey. We, section Vector, are very thankful to have an adviser like him. A science class wouldn't be the same and entertaining the way he teaches it.
DR. JONALYN P. PENILLA
GRADE8ADVISER
Dr. Penilla has been more than just our adviser she’s been the quiet force keeping our chaos from combusting. She never raised her voice, never needed to. Her words, though calm, had this magical ability to silence panic and reset our mental spreadsheets. While we were stress-eating snacks over deadlines, she was steady, composed, and somehow always knew exactly what to say (and when to say nothing at all).
What made her different wasn’t just the way she guided us—it was the way she noticed. She picked up on things no one else did: the burnout behind a forced smile, the sigh before a deadline, the small win we forgot to celebrate. And she made us feel like we mattered—not just as students or team members, but as people trying our best.
We’ll remember Dr. Penilla not just for her guidance, but also for making us feel safe, seen, and capable even in the wildest moments. She didn’t just help us finish the year she helped us believe in ourselves. And for that (and so much more), we’ll always be grateful.
SSIR EDDRIAN O. ESMERO
GRADE8ADVISER
ir Eddrian Esmero is the best adviser anyone could ever ask for. He is the type of adviser who listens, delivers his lecture really well, is very considerate, and lets his students enjoy every moment they have. He taught us numerous lessons, not just in the field of Biotechnology, but also some lessons that we could apply in different aspects.
He is a teacher who communicates well, and always shows willingness to lend his hand to his students. He was there in every difficulty we ' ve faced, making sure that we don't feel alone along the way. He was with us in every path we walked by, making sure that we wouldn't fall. He was with us in overcoming different miscommunications, making sure that each one of us will build a new and fresh friendship once again.
As his advisory class, we, STE Mendel, would like to express our deepest gratitude to our passionate, supportive, and such a jolly adviser. Thank you for staying with us throughout the school year, for lighting our way toward our new journey. We hope to be with you again. See you around, Sir!
WSIR NOVY H. FACUN
GRADE7ADVISER
ith logic as sharp as his chalk lines and patience steadier than a calculator on exam week, meet Sir Novy Facun. More than just a Math teacher, he was Alpha’s human compass always pointing them toward the right formula. He wasn’t just a constant in their equation he was the parentheses holding everything together when things got a little too exponential.
Sir Novy’s passion for teaching could solve even the most complicated formula freak-outs, and his commitment to excellence? As reliable as a Mathlete’s pencil on test day. Through numbers, theories, and the occasional, "Guess who forgot to label their solution again?" he lit the way for STE Alpha, not just through academics but through life itself.
As an adviser, he didn’t just shape their minds he shaped their journey, one witty remark and life lesson at a time. With him, they learned that even the toughest problems can be solved, including the ones that aren’t from a textbook. As long as you approach them with clarity, courage, and a little bit of heart... and maybe double-check your solution before saying “final answer. ”
WMA’AM RONELLE VIRA M. BUNOAN
GRADE7ADVISER
e are truly grateful to have Ma’am Vira as our adviser and second mother. Her presence in the classroom always brought joy and positivity, and her efforts to make our lessons engaging—like giving out chips to encourage participation—never went unnoticed.
Even through the challenges and occasional dramas, she was always there to guide, listen to, and help us work things out. Her unwavering patience and support made a lasting impact on all of us.
Ma ’ am Vira’s kindness, warmth, and genuine care will be cherished by us. She didn’t just teach us lessons from a book, she taught us about empathy, unity, and resilience. As we move forward, we’ll carry with us the values she instilled and the memories we built together, always grateful to have had her as part of our journey.

The journey was not easy, yet PERSEVERANCE and FAITH were the keys to overcome the pressure that I had to endure. Others may say that it was easy for me to achieve my greatest goal this school year, but they don’t know the long, sleepless and restless nights I had to overcome.
When things get rough, always remember that the pain you experience now doesn’t compare to the JOY that is set for you. It doesn’t end when you fail, it ends when you give up trying. As VICTORY is no accident nor merely out of luck, it is the result of dedication, commitment, perseverance, sacrifice, and love to what you are doing; triumph to those who persevere.

Ididn’t strive to be ‘elite.’ I just showed up, tried my best, and kept learning, even when things got overwhelming. This recognition isn’t about perfection or prestige; it’s about persistence, progress, and the quiet moments of growth most people don’t see. Behind this spot are late nights, countless revisions, second-guessing, and a whole lot of heart.
If I made someone feel seen, helped a friend, or sparked a little inspiration along the way—then I’ve done more than enough.

Being able to be a part of The Elite Circle of 10 of the STE Program is truly overwhelming. I've set this achievement of mine as an inspiration to thrive harder and continue achieving my dreams. As for my fellow STE students, I hope that seeing those ten faces in the list every quarter made them more inspired, passionate, and hard-working. This is just the start, and I'll continue to rise and shine, together with my fellow students.

Be the story they remember, not just the name they read.”
I want to be remembered for the impact I made — for the passion I showed, the challenges I overcame, the people I uplifted, and the difference I made. For me, true success is when my actions and my story speak louder than my achievements. My struggles became my stepping stones, and now, I stand not just as one of ten—but as proof that with determination and heart, anything is possible.

ecoming part of the Elite Circle of 10 in the STE program took a lot of hard work, time, and personal sacrifice. I gave up sleep, free time, and comfort to focus on learning and growing. It wasn’t always easy, but every challenge helped shape me into someone stronger and more determined. I’ve learned that true success comes from consistency, passion, and a willingness to keep going even when it’s tough.
