𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | No Ordinary Day: MunSci surprises Dr. Querubin, post-birthday celebration

Everything was quiet—until the lights dimmed, the music played, and Muntinlupa Science High School erupted into cheers for one man: Dr. Ador Querubin.

On July 7, 2025, the beloved principal walked into what he thought was a normal afternoon but instead a full-blown surprise birthday celebration filled with song, laughter, and love, hosted by Sir Henry Canonizado and thoughtfully organized by the Supreme Parents-Teachers Association (SPTA) and the Faculty Club.

Themed “Tropical Garden,” the event officially started at 4:00 p.m. with a prayer by Sir Roldan Ortega, followed by a cascade of musical numbers that stirred emotion and sparked applause. Members of the MunSci Voices opened the show with “Fly Me to the Moon,” while SPTA members danced along, setting a lighthearted tone for the festivities.

Heartfelt performances lineup followed as Ms. Lindsay Maranan sang the soulful “Forevermore,” Mr. Mark John Cachuela and Dr. Querubin delivered a touching duet, Mr. Mikael Balbastro and Mr. Jayson Padolina gave a charming serenade, and Ms. Abad's nostalgic song ended with Sir Querubin joining in.

The celebration continued with the outpouring of tokens and gifts. Mrs. Abad revealed the first cake from SPTA, followed by more sweet treats from SSLG, SHS Department, Faculty Club, and non-teaching personnel. The Mathematics Department gifted a special package. Club presidents lined up with vibrant potted plants, while the SHS faculty sparked laughter and love with a witty ‘Principal Survival Kit.’

Two video presentations showcased the principal’s daily impact—a TikTok-style “Day in the Life of Sir Ador” by SSLG, and a heartfelt tribute video from The Monitor—both met with smiles, laughter, and a few teary eyes.

Messages from students, teachers, parents, and Sir A's own family brought heartfelt emotion to the proceedings, which closed with a student-led birthday sing-and-dance number and a lovely celebratory feast enjoyed by the whole MunSci community.

What started off as a regular day became something truly special—a tribute to Sir Querubin's quiet yet powerful leadership and the lasting mark he’s left on the community. A moment that MunSci will always remember.

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | SGDC leads Pride Month ‘25

As a way to close off Pride month, the Student Gender and Development Council (SGDC) of Muntinlupa Science High School hosted a celebration themed "Aurora: The Dawn of Pride" on June 28, 2025.

To start the event, a fun run was organized at the Muntinlupa Track and Field Oval, which was open to everyone. According to some students who participated, the fun run helped them relax, especially after the stress-filled weeks prior.

Simultaneously, school clubs opened their booths to offer a wide range of items—from snacks and drinks to bracelets, photo booths, water guns, handcuffs, and marriage booths.

As part of the event, alumnus Benedict John Caperocho spoke on LGBTQIA+ rights, emphasizing the SOGIE Bill’s role in protecting against discrimination. He also highlighted the need for legal recognition of same-sex marriage and divorce to ensure equality and dignity.

Later on, the assembly and introduction for the “Aurora: The Dawn of Pride” Concert began, followed by performances from several bands such as Point Horizon, No Label, Traffic Jam, Stereoxide, Boundary, and a dance performance by Amouroze.

There was also a special number from drag queens Satyre and Bamvolbae, who both delivered lip sync performances of "Power" by Little Mix and "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan.

Unfortunately, the event was cut short due to an emergency, prompting the audience to say their goodbyes earlier than expected.
