Cebu City National Science High School (CCNSHS) is now aiming for the “Regional Science High School” (RSHS) position in Region VII, following the announcement by the Department of Education (DepEd) recognizing the institution’s Special Program in Science (SPS) curriculum and the creation of the Negros Island Region (NIR).

The shift comes as DepEd transitions Ramon Teves Pastor Memorial-Dumaguete Science High School (RTPM-DSHS), the current RSHS of Region VII, to the newly established NIR, opening the RSHS slot for Central Visayas.

During a visit on February 5, 2025, DepEd Region VII’s Education Program Supervisor for Science, Dr. Bryant C. Acar, acknowledged the school’s adherence to the Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP) curriculum, which shares similar standards with the SPS.

Acar confirmed that the regional office is restructuring the accreditation process for SPS schools, shifting it to the Division Office, which will handle evaluations before automatic recognition by the Regional Office.
With NIR’s dissolution, RTPM-DSHS will no longer serve as Region 7’s Regional Science High School, prompting Acar to encourage CCNSHS to formally apply for the RSHS position.

“You have to apply just like everyone else so that we can be fair to all schools implementing the SPS Curriculum. Around 12 SDOs will apply, however, I am confident of CCNSHS” Acar stated in an interview, expressing his encouragement for the school to apply.

To qualify for the RSHS status, which emphasizes a curriculum focused on science and math, a school must surpass the standards written in the primer, particularly by improving the school’s equipment ratio and having specialized faculty with degrees in physics, biology, or chemistry.

Beyond the prestige, the status will bring benefits such as increased funding, foreign exchange initiatives, and priority in national programs.

Acar stressed that securing the title would be beneficial for the school community, especially its stakeholders, but it would need the cooperation of everyone.

“It takes a village to raise a child. Raising brilliant students is quite challenging, but for sure your parents, LGU community, and alumni could be of great help. Collaboration will help this school be better, more improved, and maybe, the best school in the future,” Acar’s message to the CCNSHS community during his visit.

As CCNSHS works towards meeting DepEd’s standards, it aims to improve its academic standards as it secures its place as a leading science institution in the region.

Giving back to his alma mater, Christian Andrei Laplap, a Cebu City National Science High School (CCNSHS) alumnus, donated copies of his recently published poetry book to encourage aspiring writers.

Now an accomplished author and serving as a part-time instructor at the Cebu Technological University - Main Campus, Laplap, from Batch 2018, featured his poetry book “Yes, You”, a collection of poems focusing on underlying tones of femininity and nature and themes of embracing individuality and resilience.

In a turnover ceremony held at the CCNSHS library accompanied by school librarian Joy B. Acre, the author emphasized the importance of storytelling in shaping ideas and empowering youth.

He shared how his time at the school inspired him to pursue writing, and hoped his work would motivate students to explore their own creative potential.

“This is my way of giving back to the school that helped shape my dreams,” Laplap shared, reflecting on his journey.

Looking back on the journey he persevered, he encouraged students to acknowledge one’s strengths and weaknesses, and focus on their own strength and build up on that. “Understanding that we all have our own uniqueness, embracing and believing in what you are capable of is very important in embracing what could mold you today,” he added.

School officials expressed their gratitude, describing the donation as a meaningful contribution to the school’s literary resources and commitment to molding literary prodigies.

Laplap has earned multiple accolades, being an Awardee of Excellence in the World Youth Essay Competition (WYEC) 2018 for his essay, “Schrodinger's Children,” in Germany, a winner in the Editor's Choice of the Hammond House Literary Prize 2020 for his short story, “The Oddity That is Them,” in the U.K., and a regional winner in the CHED ASEANWave 2022 poetry category with his poem entitled, “Land, in the Philippines.”

In a strategic effort to elevate the Philippines' global academic performance, the Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Trygve L. Olaivar visited Cebu City National Science High School (CCNSHS), a participating institution in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) last Thursday, January 9.

The visit forms a key component of DepEd’s push to elevate the Philippines’ preparedness for PISA, a global assessment that evaluates student proficiency in Reading, Mathematics, and Science, which the country ranked poorly in the previous years.

Undersecretary Olaivar emphasized the department’s dedication to fostering critical thinking and problem-solving competencies among Filipino students.

As part of the agenda, he met with school administrators and teachers to review current educational strategies aimed to ensure that students are fully equipped to meet the demands of the international assessment.

A thorough inspection of the school’s computer laboratories was later conducted to assess the suitability of the existing equipment the students will use for the assessment.

It later identified several shortcomings, including connectivity issues, which prompted immediate discussions on corrective measures to ensure smooth test administration and a conducive learning environment for students.

Accompanying Undersecretary Olaivar on his visit was DepEd Cebu City Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Nimfa D. Bongo, who outlined the ongoing initiatives aimed at enhancing the readiness of PISA-participating schools in the city.

“Our education program supervisors in Mathematics, Science, and English have been closely monitoring the conduct of practice tests to ensure that students are adequately prepared for PISA,” Bongo stated, emphasizing the need for intensive preparation to better equip participating students.

She further noted the division’s efforts to address infrastructural challenges, particularly in providing technical support. “We are exploring ways to equip schools like SciHi with backup power generators and to upgrade their internet connectivity to support a smoother testing process,” Bongo added.

Furthermore, the school head of CCNSHS, Dr. Marilou T. Dela Cuesta expressed her excitement stating, “While it presents a challenge, it is an excellent opportunity to check the students’ mental and critical thinking abilities—skills that are essential in today’s global landscape.”

In a world of liberty to ink or be inked, names fall into piles that overshadow one another. Never have eyes witnessed such charisma — one that stands out by genesis, bearing the traits of a well-respected, unvandalized character. With his presence alone, may everyone, regardless of their history with him, take half a step back, and perform a curtsy; a spontaneously respectful, “Good morning, sir.”

𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙄𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨

First impressions leave a lasting impact on a person. It’s important to make an impression that ensures others take your words seriously, so your voice is valued and heard, and that you’re remembered for all the right reasons. These words were imparted by my father during my first in-person year in Science High. Coincidentally, that was also the year I was under Mr. Rex Ebarle in my journalism elective.

If you were to ask for my first impression of Sir Rex, I’d say he was an intimidating man—an intimidating man whose passion for teaching is so infectious that everyone who graduates from his classes wishes for another year with him.

By his appearance alone, Sir Rex’s commitment to ensuring his words are taken seriously is evident. His strict and intimidating aura disciplines even the rowdiest students by his presence alone. His words are law, and any task he assigns must be accomplished within the given time.
Anecdotes about him from friends, both new and old, often describe feelings of shock, intimidation, and fear. Though this may seem negative, it’s quite the contrary.

To me, it was a breath of fresh air to have such an intimidating yet caring teacher at the school.
Though it caught me by surprise at first, it was refreshing to have a teacher like him, whose very presence can be nerve-wracking yet serves as a guiding light in our academic journeys. Meetings with him are a carefully woven tapestry of banter, insight, and focus. One can learn a thing or two after a meeting with him, and that knowledge sticks with you until the end by being applied in our day-to-day lives. That is what makes Sir Rex stand out among the rest.

The word “unforgettable” rings in my ear the more I look back on those memories with Sir Rex. If I could describe my first impression of him with just a word, it would be “unforgettable.”He is a lasting figure in the school, and he has built himself a legacy that will be written in time’s continuous scrolls of life. The fruits of his labor will always be cherished by the Science High of today and tomorrow.

As the Earth makes another revolution around the sun, may we never forget our greatest supporter in our highest and lowest times. Happy birthday, Sir Rex! 🥂

Anticipation runs deep in everyone's veins. Another chapter closes as a new one awaits.

The year 2024, as one could say, was another chance to become better. People learned new things, created new memories, and discovered more about themselves. There were challenges met and lessons understood. It opened new doors for people to enter, chasing to the skies with no limit.

As the thrill for the new year sets spirits high, let us all welcome 2025 with a heart full of joy and pride as we successfully conquer another year, and be grateful for all the lessons and memories; the people we have met, and the bonds we have made. We should look ahead into this new age without any negative energy and with open arms.

And in a blink of an eye, we are now down to the last minute. Then, the clock chimes — Happy New Year! Let us give cheers to the days of what once was, and here's to the days of what will become!

Under the soft glow of a gas lantern on a quiet night in 1887, a lone figure sat with pen in hand. The cool evening breeze served as a gentle witness. At that moment, a spark ignited—a single mind, fueled by courage and conviction, illuminated the path toward a nation's destiny.

Dr. José Rizal is a writer, a martyr, and a visionary. We continue to be inspired by his words, which light our way in the dark. His legacy is a testament to the might of inner strength and the ability to navigate adversities.

Today, we honor the man who dared to challenge the status quo and whose pen ignited the fire of revolution. 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘪.

For the second consecutive year, Cebu City National Science High School’s Grade 12 Aevincere has claimed the prestigious Super Batch Award during the Family Day 2024 held on December 15, 2024.

The victory followed their win last year as Grade 11, where they were known as Ordo Eclissi, as the achievement made them the first batch in history to win the award in back-to-back years in the senior high school level.

The Super Batch Award is determined by the accumulation of points across multiple categories during the school’s Family Day.

Aevincere dominated various categories, earning first place in the Registration, Zumba Competition, and Mr. and Ms. Science High — represented by Johann Manulat and Chloe Lotivio.

In addition, they secured second place in both the Dance Presentation Competition and Queen of Science High.

Aevincere's total of 980 points surpassed the other grade levels by 77.5 points, with Grade 9 Ortu Solis finishing in second place with 902.5 points and Grade 11 Etero Videntes in third with 892.5 points.

Grade 8 Octava Excellentia ranked fourth place with 860 points, followed by Grade 10 Valorix Cardieci with 847.5 points, and Grade 7 Hepta Visata with 817.5 points.

“It felt surreal. We initially planned to simply enjoy our last Family Day, so hearing our batch called out as the winner was a moment of immense pride. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us,” Charmelle Abatayo, their batch governor shared.

“This was a very nice way to end 2024, as next year, our focus will be on the preparations for our graduation ceremonies,” she added, looking ahead to the remainder of their final year.

Aevincere’s back-to-back victory served as a testament to their dedication, teamwork, and leadership, leaving a legacy that will inspire future batches.

Such success this year marks a defining moment for the batch as they move towards their final milestones at CCNSHS.
