Amidst the blazed competition, Batch 2026 has set up for Kalasag 2025 in the Philippine Science High School Davao Region Campus (PSHS-DRC), the gymnasium bled violet in the end, reigning Batch 2027 victorious with a whopping score of 293, on November 21, 2025.
Finishing with a 78-point gap from Aurevia, the Arimaongas’ batch governor, teary-eyed, claimed that they had prepared late for the long-anticipated intramurals due to numerous academic responsibilities and other obstacles
“Late na kami naka prepare because we had to finish our SIP (Science Investigatory Project) pa and we had Buwan ng Wika,” Mhiel Odal said.
Though it had long been the batch’s goal to reign as Kalasag champion even before 12th grade, she emphasized how they were spellbound by their victory.
Despite finishing in third place on the podium, the Sports Club president assured Ardientes, the seniors, that every ending flips a page, that with every chapter closing, a new one begins.
“When one door closes, another one opens,” Safina Ibanez wrote in her closing speech.
Trailing closely against Batch 2028 was Batch 2026, followed by Batch 2029, Batch 2030, and Batch 2031, respectively.

Kalasag was not only an event to show sports, it was a way to show creativity and talent, as best shirt designs and banners were awarded.
For the best shirt, Batch 2027, Lila Arimaonga, was first followed by Batch 2031, Peridrax Vanguards, and Batch 2028, Aqua Aurevia.
For the best Banner, Batch 2027 took first place, followed by Batch 2031, and Batch 2028.
As KALASAG 2025 came to an end, the sports club president reminded everyone that each batch fought well due to their determination and love for sports, and they can always try and strive for better next time.
"Everyone gave their best, and even if games didn't turn out the way you expected, KALASAG is not going anywhere," Ibanez added.
The event marked PSHS-DRC’s Kalasag 2025, giving more inspiration and fueling scholars’ determination to seize next year’s Kalasag and land on top.
