Paying it forward with love and altruism!
Embodying the Manila Science High School (MSHS) core values and mantra #TalinoParaSaKapwa, MaSci Batch 1980 led by Judy Celia Ocaya and Board Members Norman Morales, Cris Clement Mendoza, and Miraflor Flores Avilado awarded course-lasting and partial scholarships to eight recently inducted alumni from Batches 2022 and 2023 at the Philippine Columbian Association on August 12, 2023.
In particular, Sonnel Calma, Gimriel Celis, Abigail Gianna Cuevas, Aneeza Francesca Martinez, and Shanlie Zette Palomo from Batch 2023 were granted full scholarships. Meanwhile, Batch 2022’s Leya Senen and Batch 2023’s Mark Stephen Bueno and Adrianne Icessen Magat received partial ones.
The said occasion was graced by MSHS administrative chiefs and faculty led by Principal Manolo Peña and Assistant Principal Anita De Guzman alongside the Manila Science High School Alumni Foundation, Inc. (MSHSAFI/MaSci Foundation) Board of Trustees (BOT) led by President Ronald Allan Gonzales (1987). Besides them, the graduates’ family members also attended the ceremony, which preceded a luncheon organized to celebrate the newly named scholars.
The Batch 1980 scholarship program was established to support the graduates via bimonthly stipends as they embark on and pursue tertiary education. Selection Committee Members Judy Celia Ocaya, Cris Clement Mendoza, Norman Morales, Jess Reyes, and Marlon Tornito from Batch 1980 organized the initiative in coordination with Treasurer Luz Lorenzo (1977) and Vice President Allan August Malig (1989) of the MaSci Foundation Scholarship Committee.
