Students and Faculty joined together in an engaging and down-to-earth wellness session on November 28, 2025, at 2:15 pm at the PSHS-DRC quadrangle. Students and Teachers alike engaged in fun Filipino games such as Tigso, Dampa, Chinese Garter, and Jackstones.

A student from Batch 2028 said, "It embraces the Filipino culture, making us remember our identity and the culture of our motherland. It keeps us grounded and motivated to do the things that we loved to do as children, now that we are close to our exams. Just by playing these Filipino games gives a sense of nostalgia and identity to us, Filipinos."

In partnership with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) ­– Davao City Chapter, the Health Services Unit of the Philippine Science High School Davao Region Campus (PSHS-DRCDC) conducted a bloodletting activity on November 28, 2025, Friday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the school auditorium in Sto. Niño, Tugbok District, Davao City.

The activity aimed to ensure the availability of blood products for the PSHS-DRCDC community, raise awareness on the importance of blood donation, and encourage the habit of regular blood donation as a social responsibility.

"The Philippine Red Cross partners with different institutions, groups, and organizations to conduct blood donation activities like this. Philippine Science High School is one of our regular partners in organizing such events. We are very grateful because this effort helps us save lives and meet the needs of patients, not only in Davao City, but also in nearby hospitals, provinces, and regions across the country," Rizh Abellano of the PRC Davao City Chapter highlighted.

He added that the event was an important opportunity to save lives, encouraging first-time donors to have the courage to participate since even a small sacrifice can make a big difference, noting that one donation has the potential to save up to three lives, with the goal of achieving 100 percent voluntary, non‑remunerated blood donation.

"Each person who donates blood can help save up to three lives. It teaches us that even small actions have a big effect on the health and survival of others," shared by Yman Huel B. Arroza, a medical technology student.

He continued that as future health professionals, they play a vital role in advocacy, such as using their profession to help people with kidney problems and other conditions while carrying the responsibility to educate others about the value of donating blood.

“The collected blood will be reserved for the PSHS-DRCDC community, ensuring availability of blood products whenever needed by students, faculty, or staff,” expressed by the Health Services Unit Head Ailene Eguia, RN.

She further emphasized that the activity will have a lasting impact, hoping it would raise awareness about the importance of blood donation and encourage the habit of regular donation as a social responsibility.

“I believe donating blood is good for our health. It helps replenish the body and, based on my own experience, it makes me feel better knowing I can help others. And when the time comes that we might need blood ourselves, being a donor means we’ll also be prioritized,” noted by one of the donors, Sir Mike Nalitan.

To conclude, the bloodletting activity showcased the collective effort of the Red Cross, students, faculty, and donors, which reflects PSHS-DRCDC’s focus on caring for people and encouraging service.

Matapos ang dalawang araw ng matinding tunggalian, hiyawan, at di-matutumbasang school spirit, pormal nang nagtapos ang Kalasag 2025 sa Philippine Science High School – Davao Region Campus in Davao City noong Nobyembre 21, 2025. Sa pagtatapos ng pinakahihintay na intramurals ng taon, itinanghal na Overall Champion ang Batch 2027 matapos manguna sa kabuuang puntos na 293.

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang iba pang batches na buong tapang na lumaban sa bawat laro at patimpalak. Pumangalawa ang Batch 2028 na may 215 points, sinundan ng Batch 2026 na may 213 points. Sumunod naman ang Batch 2029 (195), Batch 2030 (160), at Batch 2031 (60), na lahat ay nagpakita ng determinasyon, pagkakaisa, at tunay na diwa ng Kalasag.

Itinampok ng kaganapang ito ang iba’t ibang kakayahan ng mga iskolar, mula sa palakasan hanggang sa pagpapamalas ng talento—na kapwa nararapat kilalanin. Higit sa lahat, naging malinaw na ang pinakamahalagang panalo ng Kalasag 2025 ay ang pagiging mapagkumbaba, sa kabila man ng tagumpay o pagkatalo. Ang pampalakasan ay hindi lamang laban ng liksi at lakas, kundi isang plataporma ng saya, pagkamalikhain, at pagkakaisa.

Hanggang sa susunod na Kalasag—padayon, mga iskolar!

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.

𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽-𝘂𝗽

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.

Umangat sa huling minuto at nanaig nang dikit ang Caliente Calaveras (Batch 2029) kontra sa Lila Arimaonga (Batch 2027) sa Finals ng Women’s Basketball 3x3 noong Nobyembre 21, 7-6.

Mabilis na nakapagtala ng maagang lamang ang Arimaonga sa pamamagitan ng mga tira nina Sofia Nicole Gaston at Jealei Kim Eltagonde, 0-2.

Tinumbasan ito ng Calaveras sa magkakasunod na puntos nina Xiandee Mesch Warguez at Zaira Bravo, 2-2.

Nagpatuloy ang mahigpit na bakbakan, kapwap nagpalitan ng tira at depensa ang dalawang koponan, hanggang sa makalamang ang Calaveras sa free throw ni Warguez, 5-4.

Sa huling tatlong minuto, naputol ang momentum ng Calaveras nang mapilitan si Warguez na magpa-sub dahil sa pananakit ng binti matapos tamaan ng masidhing depensa nina Rohanna Angel Cortez at Maruen Zeina Bontuan ng Arimaonga, 5-5.

Gayunpaman, sa pagbabalik ni Warguez, nakapagtala ang Calaveras ng isang penalty shot na agad namang binawi ng Arimaonga, 6-6.

Bunsod ng pinaigting na depensa at winning shot ni Zyanna Gail Deguito, naipako ng Calaveras ang panalo, 7-6.

Nang tanungin tungkol sa kanilang naging estratehiya, inamin ng Calaveras Captain Ball na hindi naging madali ang pagharap sa Arimaonga, ngunit nanatili silang nagtitiwala sa isa’t isa.

"We always motivate each other before the game kasi it also helps us be in the right mindset. Without trusting our teammates, wala talaga tayong coordination and mataranta ta tanan. We feel very honored na we got the win from the Grade 11, especially knowing na sila 'yung defending champs," aniya.

Sa susunod na Kalasag, muling magkakaroon ng pagkakataong magharap ang Batch 2029 at Batch 2027 sa Women’s Basketball 3x3.

On the last day of Kalasag 2025, filled with joy, grit, and glory, only two players stood out the most—Audrey Albarillo and Jino Babol of Lila Arimaonga (G11) rose above the competition to bag the Badminton Mixed Doubles championship of this year's Kalasag. From the elims to the finals, the two shuttlers showed their true composure and grit, outlasting every opponent in their way.

𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀

As the first semis set the tone for the day, Aqua Aurevia’s (G10) Jireh Abarca and Maine Estrellan outlasted Caliente Calaveras’ (G9) Emily Locaylocay and Brent Recacho in a match of rallies and pressure. Aqua Arevia started strong, securing an early 1-4 lead. In the latter stages, Caliente Calaveras quelled and fought back to force an 11-11 tie midgame.

However, when Grade 9 gained rhythm, Aurevia's bet, Jireh Abarca, struck back with countless smashes and shots up his sleeve, defeating their fellow foe, 31-17, advancing to the finals.

The second semifinal showcased Lila Arimaonga’s duo against underdogs Avia Hiraya (G8) to decide the final spot of the championship game. At the start, Lila Arimaonga impressed the crowd with numerous smashes and shots, blowing out Avia Hiraya, 31-19.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀

The much-awaited finals between G10 and G11 delivered the excitement of the batches they hoped for. Aqua Aurevia held an early 3-0 lead with 3 smashes from Jireh Abarca.

But, G11’s bets forced a comeback, tying the match 3-3, then 7-7 and 8-8. The momentum shifted after Arimaonga's surge, etching a 13-9 lead.

Though Grade 10 fought hard and quelled a comeback effort, they were no match against Jino Babol, who delivered several severe smashes against Aqua Aurevia.

Ultimately, Lila Arimaonga secured the mixed doubles crown after a commanding victory, adding it to their tally.

PSHS-DRC’s very own court transformed into four badminton quadrants on November 21, ready to feel the intensity of the Mixed Badminton Eliminations on the second day of Kalasag 2025.

The opening match featured Lila Arimaonga (Batch 2027)’s duo, Jino Babol and Audrey Albarillo, against the Peridrax Vanguards (Batch 2031)’ pairing of Khyce P. Tanaid and Genine Cadenas. Drawing from 2027’s seasoned play, Babol and Albarillo took firm command of the net, confidently outplaying the freshmen.

Avia Hiraya (Batch 2030)’s Francis Alboroto and Olivia Nobleza then entered a heated match against Alas Ardientes (Batch 2026)’ Sam Apale and Dianne Rosalejos. Maintaining sharp rallies and composure, 2030 secured a 30–21 victory over the seniors.

The Vanguards faced yet another setback as they fell to the swift, aggressive performance of Caliente Calaveras (Batch 2029)’s Brentjamin Regacho and Emily Locaylocay— a win that pushed 2029 closer to a semifinals berth.

Hiraya returned to the court for a shuttling face-off with Aurevia. With Batch 2028’s Abarca and Estrellan at the helm, their persistence and power earned them their first bracket win.

Babol and Albarillo of 2027 followed up with another commanding victory, this time over Regacho and Locaylocay of 2029, strengthening their lead in the bracket and securing a spot in the semifinals.

Aurevia then surged forward, outlasting Ardientes to close their elimination round with a decisive win—cementing their own hold on their bracket.

By the end of the eliminations, Hiraya, Calaveras, Aurevia, and Arimaonga emerged as the semifinal contenders, set to face even fiercer duels on their path to the finals.

Sa simula pa lamang umarangkada na sina Zachery Lara at Dominic Bernard Deomampo ng Lila Arimaonga (Grade 11) matapos magpaulan ng sunod-sunod na smash kasabay ang matinding depensa kontra Francis Kuizon at Rhyss Lopez ng Alas Ardientes (Grade 12) upang magtamo ng malaking pagitan sa unang bahagi ng laro. Sa huli, isang smash din ang tuluyang tumapos sa laro upang itala ang Arimaonga bilang kampeon at Ardientes sa ikalawang gantimpala.

Una nang naglaban ang dalawang koponan sa elimination round ng Men’s Badminton kung saan unang nanaig ang Grade 11 laban sa Grade 12.

Matapos ang elimination round, nagpakitang-gilas na naman ang dalawang pares sa kani-kanilang crossover match. Sa isang dako, walang hirap na naipatumba ng Grade 11 ang Avia Hiraya (Grade 8). Sa kabilang panig naman, mainit din ang labanan sa pagitan ng Grade 12 at Aqua Aurevia (Grade 10) na syang tinapos ng seniors.

“Kalasag for us was not only the 2 days, but the 2-month preparation,” ani pa ni Deomampo.

“Discipline, consistency, heart for the game, and remembering what we want,” dagdag pa niya nang tanungin kung paano sila nagtagumpay.
