Scholars of Philippine Science High School - Cagayan Valley Campus (PSHS-CVC) in Nueva Vizcaya were once again urged to embrace their purpose, confront lifeโ€™s โ€œmonsters,โ€ and take pride in being a Pisayer during the schoolโ€™s Recognition Day and Toast for Excellence for Academic Year 2025โ€“2026 on August 14.

A total of 273 scholars were acknowledged as Directorโ€™s Listers, comprising 65 Grade 7 scholars, 39 Grade 8, 28 Grade 9, 51 Grade 10, and 90 Grade 11, while 112 Grade 10 scholars were recognized as Foundation Years Program and Advancement Years Program completers.

Batch 2007 alumnus Stephen Rae Fontanilla, RPh, PharmD, FACP of Southern Isabela Medical Center, the programโ€™s guest speaker, emphasized the importance of finding purpose and passion in the pursuit of excellence.

โ€œBe curious, and take hold of your interests. Strengthen those so that they will be your driver in pursuing excellence,โ€ he said.

Drawing from a lesson he learned from PSHS-CVC English teacher Melahnie Agraam, the 36-year-old pharmacist warned scholars of the many โ€œmonstersโ€ they would encounter in the real world, framing them as challenges necessary for growth.

โ€œThere are monsters outside,โ€ he said. โ€œOutside of the walls of the campus, there are a lotโ€”all in different shapes, faces, and experiences.โ€

โ€œDo what is needed, in your capacity, in your maximum effort, to take on those challenges, and your efforts will never be in vain. You will need those efforts in the long run,โ€ he stated.

Fontanilla ended his message by encouraging scholars to thank the CVC community and the people who have helped them prepare for the outside world, citing the final lines of the PSHS Scholarโ€™s Pledge.

โ€œโ€˜I finally envision myself as actively professing and operationalizing love of God, country, others, and self in all my goals, activities, and achievements.โ€™ Trust me, I thrived when I tried to embody that,โ€ he said.

โ€œPisay has molded you to be the best. Grasp on that. You will, someday, as you achieve everything you have envisioned for yourself, be proud na Pisayer ka,โ€ he added.
