On behalf of The Standard Press, we want to offer these words of gratitude and remembrance for 𝐌𝐬. 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐚𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐣𝐚𝐝𝐚-𝐊𝐰𝐞𝐤. In our newsroom, we choose to focus on the vibrant and courageous life she lived, rather than the moment of her passing. Ms. Shen was a truly remarkable woman.

We want to thank Ms. Shen for her openness. Allowing us the privilege of sharing her journey with the LPSci community was a lot to ask, and she gave it freely. Her presence in our archives now stands as a permanent record of a life well-lived. It was an honor to have featured her twice within the pages of our school paper. We were all moved by her story, and we are proud to have been one of the voices that brought it to light.

Ms. Shen was a gift to the community, and The Standard Press will always carry her story of courage with us.

LPSci delegates partake in NSPC opening events

Highlighting the National Schools Press Conference (NSPC)’s 2026 theme: “Mapanuri, Mapanindigan, at Mapanagutang Pamamahayag,” the Las Piñas City National Science High School (LPSci) delegates participated in the event's opening festivities from April 11-13 at Ormoc City, Leyte, Western Visayas.

The LPSci scribes, consisting of the school’s Online Publishing Secondary and Radio Scriptwriting and Broadcasting teams, first attended the NSPC Parade and Opening Program held on April 13, Monday, accompanied by their trainers and division and regional superintendents.

The opening ceremony at the Ormoc City Superdome, led by the Department of Education (DepEd), welcomed in NSPC delegates from all 18 regions in the Philippines, along with their respective officials and superintendents, as they entered the stadium with flags raised high.

After the beginning rites, the event showcased prayers from a local priest, imam, and pastor, followed by an interpretative dance intermission from a regional dance troupe and messages from several DepEd and Ormoc city officials.

Broadcast journalist and well-renowned documentary producer Alfonso Tomas “Atom” Araullo then inspired young campus journalists to continue in their mission to share the truth amid hardship, sharing his insights on national issues and anecdotes in his journey in the field.

“Always verify information, go to the communities and see the stories of our people,” Araullo said.

The LPSci delegates also snagged the opportunity to see broadcaster Araullo prior to the opening program during the scheduled Meet, Greet, and Book signing held at the New Ormoc City Hall earlier in the day, where he signed copies of his book “A View from the Ground,” published by the University of the Philippines Press in 2025.

These events were organized by the local officials of Ormoc, led by city mayor Lucy Torres Gomez, along with partner officials in the DepEd in ensuring the delegates’ safety and comfort during the national event.

The LPSci delegates also partook in several other activities following their departure and arrival at the host city, namely, the local welcoming ceremony at the Barangay Hall of the Liloan municipality, held by various Ormoc billeting schools, and the flight to Ormoc via Cebu Pacific Airlines.

The opening night celebration held at the municipality of Liloan on April 12, Sunday, headed by barangay officials and members of the local high school, hosted the Las Piñas delegates, trainers, and superintendents with several intermission numbers and equipment needed for the NSPC.

Before this event, the students landed in Tacloban City after their 2-hour flight via the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and traveled to their host hotel in Ormoc City.

The LPsci scribes, along with the rest of the NSPC delegates, are set to participate in the final NSPC awarding this April 17, Friday, as they discover their placements in the national competition and return home after a week’s worth of hard work.

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.

Stay safe, Lapiscians!

ADVISORY:

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

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.
