Empowering Voices: How Parang High Made Women’s Month More Than Just a Celebration
by Nichole Yanga, photos by PHS faculty

What does it truly mean to celebrate Women’s Month? Is it just about wearing purple and honoring women’s achievements, or is there something deeper? At Parang High School, it was a movement—one that embraced unity, empowerment, and the powerful reminder that gender equality benefits everyone. This year, the faculty and students didn’t just mark the occasion; they lived its message, reinforcing the importance of fairness, inclusivity, and respect for all.

A striking sight greeted students as they walked into school on Monday morning: a sea of purple. Female teachers, along with several male teachers, proudly donned purple outfits in support of the movement. The vibrant color symbolized justice, dignity, and the continued fight for gender equality. The faculty gathered in the school courtyard for a group photo, capturing a moment of unity and purpose. Laughter and encouragement filled the air, emphasizing the camaraderie shared among the educators and the powerful message they sought to spread.

One of the highlights of the celebration was a special seminar organized by the school’s beloved guidance counselor, Ms. Theresa De Guzman. Known for her dedication to student and teacher welfare, she spearheaded a wellness initiative aimed at prioritizing women’s health and workplace confidence. She arranged for a doctor to visit the school and provide valuable insights on maintaining well-being while managing professional responsibilities. The seminar focused on empowering teachers to work more confidently without unnecessary stress or problems, ensuring they could continue inspiring students with ease.

Ms. De Guzman shared her thoughts on the significance of Women’s Month. “Women’s Month isn’t just about women,” she explained. “It’s about equality for all genders. It’s a reminder that everyone deserves respect, recognition, and opportunities, regardless of who they are. We want to ensure that our female teachers feel supported, not just in their professional lives, but in their health and well-being as well.”

Her words resonated deeply, sparking discussions about gender inclusivity and the role of both men and women in advocating for a more equitable society. Teachers and students alike shared stories of strong women who had impacted their lives, from mothers and grandmothers to historical figures who paved the way for gender rights.

Beyond the health check-ups and inspiring talks, students also participated in various activities throughout the week. In their homeroom subject, students were given a special activity where they drew the most inspiring woman in their life and wrote heartfelt messages about her. This activity encouraged creativity and reflection, helping students appreciate the contributions of women in their lives in a personal and meaningful way.
The celebration at Parang High School was a heartfelt reminder that Women’s Month is not just a commemoration of past struggles—it’s a continuing movement towards a more inclusive and fair world. As the faculty and students carried on with their day, the message was clear: the fight for equality is not just a women’s fight; it is everyone’s responsibility.

With smiles, solidarity, and a sea of purple, the Parang High School community stood together—not just for a day, but for a future where respect knows no gender, and empowerment is a right, not a privilege. Because true equality is not just something we celebrate—it’s something we create, together.

PHS attends DPWH river gab
by Paula Jhane Balacuit

Chosen students from different clubs of Parang high School and other schools from Marikina City had been invited by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) who hosted the 3rd Ilog Summit 2025 at the Marikina Convention Center, Marikina City last February 28.

The seminar was conducted with talks and activities about management and preservation of Pasig and Marikina Rivers in accordance with the Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project (PMRCIP).

The event started with Marikina City Mayor Marcelino Teodoro’s welcome remarks. Right after, DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara delivered data about the current state of Marikina and Pasig River.

After a short break, Mr. Ariel Roxas demonstrated a weather forecast in front of the guests. This was followed by environmental specialist and guest speaker Mr. David Saylon. This event was hosted by celebrity Robi Domingo.

After the speeches, the delegates were brought to the Marikina River to get a look at the ongoing project of reducing wastes and rehabilitating it to its healthy condition.

Based on PHS students’ observations, the engineers seemed well-experienced and dedicated in their job. Students from high schools in Marikina suggested producing eco-friendly bricks as a material for walling. According to the engineers working on this project, they have begun the cleaning of the Pasig River in 2008 to which a 60% completion rate was attributed in 2025. The slow progress is due to natural disasters that occur every year.

The host, Robi Domingo, was asked by attendees about how he can contribute to the preservation of Pasig-Marikina River. Domingo answered, “By joining seminars like this, I can spread the message to the masses about preserving this treasure that we have. I'm not sure, but I'm hoping [that the message of this seminar reaches even the hearts of people that didn't].

The PHS Marikina Team, consisting of Jeremy Florencio, Vincent Jazz Diaz, and Prince Gerald Rarang, along with their trainer, Evelyn Ballena, successfully took home the third place title at the Regional High School Team Orals, Grade 7 Level Category A of the Sprix Math Challenge hosted by the Department of Education(DepEd) as part of the Test of Fundamental Academic Skills(TOFAS) at Neptali A. Gonzales High School on March 8, 2025.

The Sprix Math Challenge was designed to test the knowledge level of students when it comes to the subject of Mathematics, with questions that are suited for students from Grade 7 to Grade 12. PHS victors were from Grade 7 category.

During their preparation for the contest, according to Mathematics Department Master Teacher Mrs. Maria Aylene Fabillar states, “We expected different lessons to be tackled in the contest. We reviewed the lessons from the old curriculum without knowing that the Sprix Math Challenge will feature lessons from the new curriculum. But thanks to the combined work of three of our Math teachers, including myself, we were able to train the kids as much as possible in that given timeframe.”

With a limited time, having only a week of appropriate preparation, Florencio, Diaz and Rarang were trained by Mrs. Fabillar along with Mrs. Evelyn Ballena, and Mr. John Aldrin Alayay, to be able to answer complex Grade 7 Level questions related to Math.

The contest followed the quiz bee format, where there were three categories of questions: easy, average, and difficult. The easy questions have the lowest value of scores while difficult questions have the highest.

At first, the PHS team had a hard time answering the easy questions. as stated by Mrs. Ballena, “They had a hard time answering the easy questions. So, we were pleasantly surprised to see that they’ve managed to accomplish the average and difficult rounds with flying colors, earning us a spot at the awards.”, Ms. Ballena stated.

As the contest concluded, Pasig City got first place, Manila got hold of the second, while Marikina took the third place.
With this competition organized by the DepEd, schools can ensure that the competencies of each student about a certain subject can be measured and analyzed accordingly.
