LPSci opens English Month with Book Character Parade

Las Piñas City National Science High School officially kicked off its English Month celebration on Monday, November 3, with an opening program highlighting the Book Character Parade.

As part of the opening ceremony, students from Grades 7-12 participated in the parade, showcasing their book character costumes as they circled the track.

Emcees Lance Neo Esliza and Shatasha Ann Bailey started the opening program with an introduction, followed by Jairo Ellao, English Club Vice President, who gave the opening remarks.

“This month is all about celebrating the beauty of the English language not just through reading, writing, or speaking, but through expressing who we are. Words have great power. They move people, tell stories, and can even make a difference. That is why we gather here today,” Ellao said.

Qianne Enriquez, English Club JHS Representative, then presented the events the club has prepared for the month.

She expressed her excitement for what they have in store for Lapiscians, and hoped students would enjoy the activities.

The final portion of the program was the awarding of Best Costume, with each section having one winner.

Teachers Joan Punla-Colima, Shiela Banate, Czarina Cheng, Shenandoah Kwek, and Aileen De Vera were also given the Best Costume award, dressed up as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, a pirate, Mad Hatter, and Cleopatra, respectively.

The Department of Education has officially announced the suspension of face-to-face classes in public schools in the National Capital Region on October 13-14, 2025.

Stay safe, Lapiscians!

ADVISORY:

Suspension of Face-to-Face Classes in DepEd National Capital Region Public Schools on October 13-14, 2025

In light of the increasing incidence of influenza-like illnesses among learners and personnel and the recent series of earthquakes affecting various parts of the country, the Department of Education – National Capital Region (DepEd NCR) issues this advisory to ensure the continuity of learning while prioritizing the health, safety, and structural security of all public schools.

To provide time for disinfection, sanitation, and building inspection, all face-to-face classes in public schools in the National Capital Region are suspended on October 13–14, 2025.

During this period, schools shall implement Alternative Delivery Modalities (ADM), either synchronous or asynchronous, as provided under DepEd Order No. 54, s. 2012, to avoid disruption of learning. All schools are directed to utilize the suspension period to:

a. Conduct cleaning and disinfection of classrooms and common areas;
b. Carry out structural and safety inspections of school buildings and facilities;
c. Prepare for the facilitation or implementation of drills on earthquake preparedness and other emergency protocols; and
d. Reinforce health and safety practices among learners, personnel, and parents.

Furthermore, this advisory reinforces DepEd Memorandum OUOPS-2025-06294, emphasizing earthquake preparedness and response procedures, including coordination with Division Engineers and Local Government Units (LGUs) for inspection and mitigation actions.

Private schools are also highly encouraged to observe and conduct these measures.

For everyone’s guidance and compliance.

Shine, inspire, and rise together.

Hues of red, green, and blue jerseys filled the LPSci grounds as athletes, coaches, and school heads from cluster 3 attended the 2025 Athletic Cluster Meet opening program on October 8.

Carrying the theme “One Team, One Goal, Stronger Rise Together,” the three-day meet aims to promote the unity between Cluster 3 schools for various athletic events that will be held from October 8 to 10.

Participating public schools include: Las Piñas City National Senior High School–TDC, Las Piñas East National High School, Las Piñas City National Science High School, and this year’s host, Las Piñas North National High School.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦

The morning began with a parade before formally starting the program with the singing of hymns and a prayer, preceding the welcoming remarks.

“Know that this meet is not about medals; cheer for your teammates and applaud your opponents,” said LP-North’s Principal II Pacita Masapol during her welcome address.

An inspirational message was then given by cluster 3’s PSDS Gemma Caviles where she further highlighted that beyond the games are ties of friendship, passion, and camaraderie.

Then followed the introduction of teams through their respective yells, lighting of the torch by their team representatives, banner raising, oaths for sportsmanship and officials, the ceremonial toss, and announcement of activities.

𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐤

Expecting a harder challenge this year, athletes from the said schools had their own preparations, some starting their training period weeks prior the competition.

“Mas naging mahigpit yung training namin ‘tsaka may court kami, mas nakakapag-shooting kami this year,” said team captain Justine Escobido from LPSci’s basketball team.

“Puro training lang po kami these past few weeks. Yung pag-pass po ng ball namin kasi hindi po namin medyo na-master yun,” said Princess from LP-East’s sepak takraw team.

The athletes shared that this interschool competition pushed them to improve their skill and team chemistry despite the limited preparation time.

“Actually, we’re not into winning this game naman, we’re into doing our best during the play. We had practice for at least two weeks straight, at least six times practice,” said TDC's volleyball opposite hitter, Jhon Bolima.

“Given the fact that we did not have ample time for training, I’m still hoping and praying na makuha namin korona this year, I’m hoping na sana kayanan namin,” said LP-North’s volleyball coach Rhomar Bumagat.
