It is one of the Public Learning Institutions in the Municipality of Minglanilla, Cebu Province Division. The school is situated in Proper Guindaruhan, Minglanilla, Cebu with a total land area of 20,001 square meters or 2 hectares. The school site was acquired through Proclamation No. 529 by the President of the Republic of the Philippines, Malacañan Palace, Manila, last February 21, 1990 (occupying a lot no. 7409). The school is found 10 kilometers away from the National Road and 50 meters away from the Barangay Road. Cebuano is the principal dialect in the locality.

DepEd releases guidelines on selection of honor students


Source: DepEd Press Release dated September 26, 2012

The Department of Education released new guidelines in choosing honor pupils and students from Grades 1 to 10 following the reforms introduced under the K to 12 Basic Education curriculum.

Based on DepEd Order No 74 series of 2012, candidates for honors in Grades 1 to 10 shall be drawn from the top ten students at the advanced level. They must not have a final grade lower than 85 (proficient level) and they should have no grade at developing level (75-79) in any quarter.

Education Secretary Br. Armin A. Luistro FSC added that to determine the top ten, pupils/students shall be ranked using the 7-3 point scheme. The 7 points are for academic performance while the three points are for co-curricular activities.

“We have to put weight on other activities that are not academic in nature as part of school nurturing that focuses on other aspects of a child’s total development,” Luistro explained.

All candidates for honors must be of good moral character and have not been subjected to any disciplinary action within the current school year. Achievements in specific academic disciplines such as Math, Science, English and in curricular areas such as sports, arts and campus journalism, shall also be given recognition.

Under the enhanced K to 12 curriculum, the learning areas in elementary are Mother Tongue, Filipino, English, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao and Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH). For high school, the subjects are Filipino, English, Mathematics, Science, Araling Panlipunan, CP-Technology and Livelihood Education, Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao and MAPEH.

The new grading system uses descriptive remarks and is more illustrative of the proficiency level of students.

Under the new grading system, students are assessed based on the level of proficiency starting with Beginning (whose numerical equivalent is 74% and below), Developing (75%-79%), Approaching Proficiency (80% to 84%), Proficient (85-89%) and Advanced (90% and above).

The guidelines are implemented starting school year 2012-2013 for Grades 1 and 7.

The existing DepEd Order No. 92 s. 2009 shall still apply in selecting honor pupils in Grades 2 to 6 in the elementary level and Second year to Fourth year in the secondary level.

What's your notion of the perfect vacation? For many people, it's spending days on the pool, listening to the splash waves pounding on the water. And if you're a swimming pool-lover, sooner or later you'll find yourself somewhere where Filipino is spoken. Pools are awesome! What could be better than a dip in the pool and fun in the sun? But remember the pool's sides and bottom are usually made of concrete, and rock-hard materials. A slip or fall could be painful and dangerous. So, we have to be very careful. Splashing, wading, and paddling — it must mean a great day in the water. Playing at the beach, at a water park, by a lake, or in a pool can be a real treat on a hot day.

The place represents the beauty of nature...hey, my name is J-han. I used to spend my holidays on the swimming pool. There is a beautiful pool in my hometown. It takes approximately 2 hours from the rural area by car to reach it. I used to go there with my family and sometimes with my friends also. By all accounts, swimming is a lot of fun, but drowning is a real danger. Even kids like me and my sister who know how to swim can drown so, let's be careful and find out how to stay safe in the water.

According to research study, cold winters and cool summers caused by the air masses result in extreme temperature variations and a low energy budget for the plant communities found here. Most of the precipitation occurs during warm months, and the air and soils are moist in comparison to the non-forested landscapes. Soils that have developed from glacial till and loess now thinly overlay the Philippine shield. Species that succeed in this environment have adaptations that economize on energy--both temperature and sunlight--and on nutrient requirements. This adaptation avoids the necessity for producing a full crop of new leaves every spring, and it also allows photosynthesis for extended periods of the year. Species that occur in the boreal hardwoods, such as trembling aspen, balsam poplar and paper birch, have special adaptations to withstand temperatures below -30° Fahrenheit.

Further research study said that the canopy layer of a forest community may be seen as being the primary buffer between atmospheric conditions and the communities below; it bears the brunt of wind and temperature extremes, and is the first beneficiary of sunlight. Forest pine canopies may be dominated by coniferous, deciduous, or mixed coniferous-hardwood species. forest pine communities are characteristic of the cold area. After a disturbance in the coniferous forest, such as logging or burning, the canopy opening favors deciduous species, with their higher rates of photosynthesis. Aspen and paper birch pioneer such areas, and they may in turn be followed by mixed hardwood and coniferous trees in a zone of intergrading communities. Pine hardwood stands of basswood, yellow birch, and associated species develop on mesic uplands. On drier sites in the south and west portions of the forest, pine communities are more common.

In addition to the research, beneath the canopy layer, shrubs vary locally in density. Seedlings and saplings of canopy pine trees bide their time in the shade; when a canopy tree falls, these young trees inherit the sunlight they need to succeed to canopy status themselves. Shrub-level species include beaked hazel, mountain maple, honeysuckle, and dogwood, along with others associated with specific soils and canopies. Variation of shrub density within the forest significantly affects the habitat and diversity of animal species.
