The Philippine Science High School System, a Service
Institute of the Department of Science and Technology,
is the breeding ground for future science and
technology leaders of the country. It offers free high
school scholarships to students with high aptitude in
science and mathematics.
Philippine Science High School Cordillera
Administrative Region Campus (PSHS-CARC) is one of
the two newest campuses of the Philippine Science
High School System (PSHS System). It was established through the congressional efforts of
then Baguio City Congressman and now City Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan. It formally opened
classes on June 22, 2009 with 66 students mostly from the Cordilleras.
Just like the other ten campuses of the PSHS System, PSHS-CARC endeavors to pursue its
mission of developing the Philippine Science High School Scholar to have a scientific mind and
a passion for excellence, dedicated to the service of country, and committed to the pursuit of
truth, through the nurturance of a competent faculty and staff.
Now on its third year of operation, PSHS-CARC has a total student population of 222, broken
down into three classes each in first and second year levels, and 2 classes in the third year
level. Maximum class size is 30 students per class. A typical school day begins at 7:30 AM and
ends at 4:30 PM with a total instructional time of approximately 6 hours per day. Presently, the
student to teacher ratio is 11:1.
This Annual Report aims to highlight PSHS-CARC’s accomplishments for FY2011 in terms of
enrolment, student activities and programs, faculty and staff profile, and physical and financial
performance. It serves as a record of our past as well as our guide for the future as we continue
to pursue our goal of delivering a relevant special science curriculum to PSHS Scholars that will
prepare them to become globally-competitive, excellence-driven, and nationalistic leaders of our
scientific community.

Mission
The Philippine Science High School, operating under one System of Governance and
Management, provides scholarships to students with high aptitude in science and mathematics.
The PSHS offers an education that is humanistic in spirit, global in perspective, and patriotic in
orientation. It is based on a curriculum that emphasizes science and mathematics and the
development of well-rounded individuals.
The PSHS prepares its students for careers in Science and Technology and contributes to
nation building by helping the country attain a critical mass of professionals and leaders in
Science and Technology.
Vision
The Philippine Science High School Scholar, nurtured by competent faculty and staff, has a
scientific mind and a passion for excellence, is dedicated to the service of country and committed
to the pursuit of truth.
Philosophy
The main purpose of the PSHS education is the integral development of its scholars.
Each PSHS scholar has unique giftedness and potentials which should be recognized and
nurtured so that each one develops them to the fullest extent possible.
The PSHS special science curriculum engenders in our scholars a passion for learning and
inspires them to choose careers in science and technology and so contribute to national
development.
The PSHS is most effective in an environment characterized by all-around performance
excellence, a dynamic and collaborative leadership, outstanding facilities, resources and
support alliances, and an unswerving commitment of service to the nation and to one another.

Welcome to the Philippine Science High School – Cordillera Administrative Region Campus’
Annual Report for FY2011. Consistent with the mission and vision of the whole Philippine
Science High School System, our goal is to produce a strong backbone of scientists,
technologists, and engineers for the Philippines by offering a special secondary education with a
strong academic focus specially on science and mathematics. We are, at present, an
organization with an annual budget of approximately 35M and personnel comprised of 21 faculty
members and 14 administrative staff.
FY2011 was, for us, a year marked by many challenges as we continue to struggle to put
together a functional learning environment for the PSHS-CARC Scholars. Now on its third year
of operation, the CAR Campus has grown to a population of 222 students from first to third year
levels. The increase in student population, together with an increase in faculty and staff, puts a
great toll on the management of available facilities and resources of the school in its temporary
campus at BCNHS-San Vicente Annex in Baguio City. Thanks to our hardworking and creative
faculty and staff, we continue to provide quality education despite our limited resources.
This past year, aside from managing the school, I was quite occupied searching for a
permanent site for PSHS-CARC. I am happy to announce to you that we have succeeded in
forging a Usufruct Agreement with the Department of Education for the use of a portion of the
Irisan Lot of Baguio City National High School as a new site for our Campus. We will soon
witness the start of the construction of our first Academic Building during the first quarter of
2012.
I hope you will enjoy reading this year’s Annual Report. Aside from providing details on our
many accomplishments over the past year, it also offers a glimpse of our plans for the future.
Many thanks to those who contributed to this publication.
Mabuhay tayong lahat!

WHERE OUR SCHOLARS
COME FROM
We cater primarily to scholars
coming from the Cordillera Region.
We have students coming from the
provinces of Ifugao, Kalinga, Apayao,
Mountain Province, Benguet and
Abra. Majority of our scholars come
from Baguio City and nearby
municipalities of Benguet. However,
we also have scholars from adjacent
regions and even all the way from
ENROLMENT BY SEX
Equal opportunities are given to both
male and female students. Anybody,
regardless of sex, can qualify to be a
scholar by passing a competitive
examination. At PSHS-CARC, the
sex distribution is almost equal in all
year levels.
Figure 1: Enrolment by Province.
Figure 2: Enrolment by Sex

TYPE OF SCHOOL OUR SCHOLARS COME FROM
Our scholars come public schools, non-sectarian private schools, and sectarian private schools.
Majority of them come from either public schools or private sectarian schools. For the pioneer
batch (Batch 2013), most of them came from public schools.

Enrolment by Type of School
PRIVATE SECTARIAN PRIVATE NON-SECTARIAN PUBLIC
There are four scholarship categories to which the present scholar may belong: Full, Partial 1,
Partial 2, and Special. Classification of a student into any of the scholarship categories is
dependent upon his socio-economic standing as determined from his/her parents' income tax
returns and other indicators (e.g. electrical consumption, ownership of real properties,
ownership of vehicle, etc.).
For CARC, the distribution of scholars per category is shown in Figure 4 below. Note that for
the first year and second year levels, the categories are nearly equally-distributed. The third
years are a special case since all of them receive full benefits, a privilege given to them for
being the pioneer scholars.

The institutional celebrations are avenues for students, teachers and staff to observe various
commemorative dates and events through the conduct of various activities. These events
usually involve the whole school community. They provide opportunities for students to
showcase their talents, exercise their creativity, and engage in social activities.
While its emphasis is on academic excellence, the school realizes that the scholar's overall
development must be its ultimate concern. Thus, it encourages the scholar to engage in as
many and as varied co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as time, interests, and abilities
would allow him or her. However, the scholar must keep in mind that academics must always
take priority over extra-curricular activities.

NUTRITION MONTH
Philippine Science High School - CAR Campus (PSHS-CARC)
students, faculty and staff celebrated Nutrition Month last July 22, 2011
with the theme ― Isulong ang Breastfeeding: Tama, Sapat at
Eksklusibo.‖ Ms. Jona May B. Agyamoc, PE and Health Teacher,
explained that this year’s theme aims to make students aware of proper
breastfeeding and its benefits. She said that ―there are two aspects
why breastfeeding is important for the mother as well as for the child.
One is the nutritional aspect while the other is the psychological aspect.
While the nutritional aspect is no doubt very important, even though
many people think it can be substituted, the psychological bonding
which develops between the child and the mother is unparalleled and
does not have any alternative. The importance of breastfeeding up
to 2 years and beyond is significant in helping the total development of
an infant.‖
ACQUAINTANCE PARTY
PSHS CAR Campus held its Acquaintance Party
on July 29, 2011 at Hotel Supreme, La Trinidad,
Benguet. Registration was 4:00 PM and the

The PSHS promotes excellence not only among its scholars but also among its faculty and
staff. As an agency of the Department of Science and Technology, PSHS personnel are
considered Science and Technology workers who are expected to be excellent in their
respective professions.
FACULTY
Faculty selection and hiring at PSHS follows a competitive process. Teachers are hired based
on their academic and professional qualifications and their teaching performance. In all cases,
teachers are asked to teach subjects that are congruent to their professional experience and
degrees obtained. This ensures quality of the course content delivered to the students.
Teachers are also required to obtain graduate degrees relevant to their field and are
encouraged to attend professional development opportunities such as seminars, workshops,
and conferences. The PSHS faculty is a mix of the young and experienced individuals who have
shown excellence in their respective fields.
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
Administrative staff selection is also competitive and relies on professional qualifications. Most
are experienced professionals from private and government institutions. These professionals
come from various educational backgrounds whose talents are real assets to PSHS. Staff
members are also encouraged to pursue graduate degrees related to their field and attend other
professional development opportunities such as seminars, workshops, and conferences. The
table below (Table 1) gives the educational profile of PSHS-CARC Faculty and Administrative
Personnel. Around 25% of the personnel hold graduate degrees.

Knowing that faculty and staff need to pursue graduate studies as part of their professional development,
many of them are now pursuing graduate studies relevant to their fields. The table
below (Table 2) shows that 51% are currently enrolled. Most of those enrolled are already working
on their graduate thesis.

The Philippine Science High School Cordillera Administrative Region Campus received 11
personal computers with AVR and UPS, a printer and a network router from the Department of
Trade and Industry through DTI’s Personal Computers for Public High Schools Project (PCPS).
The PCPS Project ―aims to enhance the Filipino youth's information technology (IT) skills as the
country's future knowledge workers and promote IT culture in Philippine classrooms as an
avenue to develop Filipinos' skills to be at par with global standards‖ (dti.gov.ph). This project is
funded by the Government of Japan through its Non-Project Grant Assistance Countervalue
Funds (NPGA-CVF).
DTI Provincial Director for Baguio/Benguet, Ms. Freda M. Gawisan, personally handed the
deed of documents to PSHS-CARC Director, Dr. Conrado C. Rotor, Jr. during a simple Turn-
Over Ceremony held on August 8, 2011 and witnessed by Baguio City Mayor Mauricio G.
Domogan, Mr. Greg F. Aberin, representing Congressman Bernardo M. Vergara, and Dr.
Osmundo Belmonte, Assistant Regional Director of DOST-CAR.
Mayor Domogan, considered the Father of
PSHS-CARC, gave a short but inspiring
message to the PSHS Scholars who attended
the said event. He challenged the students to
make good use of the donated IT equipment to
improve their knowledge and skills especially in
science and technology so that they will
become great scientists in the future.
In accepting the donation, Director Rotor said
that ―the donation of IT equipment will enable
PSHS-CARC to better deliver its mandate of
providing excellent education with strong focus
in science and mathematics to its scholars, with
the hope that they will eventually become the
S&T leaders of our nation in the near future.‖
As part of their Outreach Program for this year,
PSHS-CARC plans to use the computers to
provide basic and specialized IT Training to
public elementary and high school teachers and
students, barangay officials and their
constituents, and government employees of
Baguio and Benguet.
CARC Director Conrado Rotor Jr. receives Deed of Donation
from DTI Director Freda M. Gawisan as Mayor Domogan and
other key officials witness the event.

Through the combined efforts PSHS-CARC Faculty
and the motivation of the Campus Director, Dr. Conrado
C. Rotor, the school was able to establish its
own eLearning System for School Year 2011 to 2012.
Though facing technical handicaps and limited resources,
PSHS CAR eLearning System was able to
serve all current year levels of the said campus in
pilot subjects namely Computer Science I to III and
Arts and Drafting II. Most teachers also expressed
interest in the system and are currently in the process
of learning how to use it in their respective subjects.
Students access their activities and assign-
Moodle was chosen to be the backbone of PSHS- ments from the eLearning System.
CAR eLearning not just because it’s free and open
source but also because it has the reputation of being
stable and reliable. In addition to this, it has many
features that could be maximized to further improve the efficiency of eLearning. These features
include online discussion groups, online submission of activities, online submission of resources,
online quiz which include automated ―checking‖, and blog sites.
For the past three quarters, the eLearning System through MOODLE became very instrumental
in the learning process of students under the pilot subjects. It also reduced the workloads of
teachers involved thus giving them more time for other tasks. Teachers, out of town, can also
The PSHS ICT Technical Committee, chaired by Dr.
Conrado C. Rotor, Jr., was tasked to oversee the
pilot-testing of the eBased Academic Records
Management System which was initially developed
for the Main Campus. The eBased System has been
successfully implemented in the Main Campus since
three years ago. In order to ensure better
implementation, the Committee also organized a
technical training in Squid Proxy Administration
conducted by ASTI-DOST.
CARC started using the eBased System since the
start of the school year. Thanks to Mr. Graceson D.
Cuyasen, the systems and network administrator of
the campus, the System was installed and
implemented without much technical difficulty.

One of the projects of the PSHS ICT Technical Committee spearheaded by Dr. Conrado C.
Rotor, Jr. was to develop websites for each of the eleven campuses of PSHS System. In the
summer of 2011, a Training on Web Content Management and Development was organized by
the Committee. This was successfully held on April 1—5, 2011 at Benguet Prime Hotel in
Baguio City. The seminar-workshop was attended by 13 designated webmasters of the different
campuses. Their output was a working template for their campus websites. Web hosting was
then arranged with the Advanced Science Technical Institute (ASTI) of the Department of
Science and Technology.
The PSHS-CARC Website was initially developed through the collaboration of Mr. Graceson
Cuyasen and Dr. Conrado Rotor Jr. At present, the website is being maintained and updated by
the Office of the Campus Director.
With CARC’s web presence at http://carc.pshs.edu.ph, students, parents, faculty and staff,
and the rest of the community now have easy access to information about the CAR Campus and
its activities.

―My head hurts, my back aches, and my eyes sting
from working with GeoGebra,‖ grumbles Ms.
Mariebelle F. Antonio, a twenty-seven year-old
mother who works as a contract of service
mathematics teacher in PSHS-CARC. This, a month
after the in-service seminar-workshop on
Mathematics Open Source Software (MOSS) on the
use of open source alternatives for drawing
geometric figures and typesetting test papers and
documents requiring a lot of mathematical symbols.
GeoGebra is a free and open source geometry and
symbolic algebra software.
Ms. Mariebelle F. Antonio copies figures from Geogebra
and pastes it in her test paper.
When asked if she is complaining that she learned
how to use GeoGebra in the first place, she said that working with it is a nuisance but fun. She
clarified that it is a nuisance since learning it at first requires a climb up a steep learning curve.
However, the mental challenge s and the beautiful and precise geometric figures it draws are
well worth the effort. In fact, GeoGebra is very fun to work with that Ms. Antonio could sit in front
of the computer for a long time working with it.
Ms. Antonio explained that it was a lot more trouble-some to try drawing the geometric figures
using the usual tools available from word processing software like Windows Word®. Figures are
used in geometry as aid in visualizing the ideas that are usually just stated in words. The more
accurate the figures are drawn, the better it is for the students to appreciate the meaning of the
concepts.
GeoGebra is not the only geometry software presented during the workshop. Another one is
GCLC/WinGCLC, which follows a command-line, formal procedural approach in drawing
geometric figures. GCLC stands for ―Geometry Constructions -> Latex Converter‖. Although not
for the novice, it has capabilities for producing complicated and even moving drawings. Like
GeoGebra, it can also import into PSTricks or TiKZ code which can be used in LaTeX
documents to produce beautiful mathematical figures and diagrams.
LaTeX, developed by Leslie Lamport in 1985, is a typesetting software capable of producing
beautiful-looking mathematical documents. During the MOSS workshop, the faculty and staff
learned how to use LaTeX to typeset test papers in mathematics, science, technology and even
social science subjects. With the package, such as Beamer, Prosper, and the like, LaTeX can
also be used to produce slides for projection during paper presentations or lectures. The
presentation slides used during the workshop were produced using Beamer by the author.
Indeed, learning never ends. Proof to that is the untiring effort of the faculty and staff of PSHS-
CARC to learn what open source software can offer to produce high-quality teaching materials
for the use of the PSHS-CARC scholars.

Ms. Melba Patacsil, Chemistry and Research teacher, was recently invited to present
her study entitled Ethnobotanical Study, Phytochemical Screening and Antimicrobial Properties
of Traditional Medicinal Plants in Bayabas, Sablan, Benguet Province” in the ―International
Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants held in Chiang Mai, Thailand on
December 12-21, 2011. This international symposium was participated by researchers
coming from countries like Japan, Iran, india, Malaysia, Indonesia, Britain, US,
Singapore and the Philippines. It was a venue where researchers share the results of
their findings in their field of study. The symposium, although it is about medicinal and
aromatic plants, also included researches on agriculture and genetic engineering.
During the symposium, each presenter was given 15 minutes to present his/her paper
and another 5 minutes to answer audience queries. Thus, it became a venue for
sharing knowledge and skills among the researchers. The symposium ended with the
participants visit to the different Herbariums located in the provinces of Chiang Mai.
Asked about her participation in the said international research symposium, Ms. Melba
Patacsil said that the event made her realize that research is the backbone of the
country’s economy. According to her, ―researchers and educators in Chiang Mai focus
on doing research on whatever plants they can see around their provinces. Many Thai
nationals are engaged
in businesses dealing
with plants like herbal
tea, soap, essential oils,
and the like. I hope that
t h e P h i l i p p i n e
government prioritize
product development
based on results and
findings of researches
made.‖

The Summer Science Internship Program (SSIP) is an integral part of the PSHS Curriculum.
This program provides the Scholar the opportunity to experience working in an actual research
laboratory or unit of a pubic or private institutions. The aim is to imbibe in the student proper
work values, develop good laboratory skills, and inspire the student to engage in research. The
table below is a listing of our partner institutions. The list is far from complete as we continue to
forge linkages with other institutions so as to give our scholars the liberty to choose institutions
based on their interests.

After a long search for a suitable site for
its campus, PSHS-CARC will soon have its
home at Irisan, Baguio City.
The signing of a Usufruct Agreement
between the Department of Education and
the Department of Science and
Technology paved the way for PSHS to
start introducing site and infrastructure
development in a portion of a 2.7 hectare
property of the Baguio City National High
School. Site planning and design was done
by Architect Vladimir Longid (PSHS Batch
89) and his Pisay batchmates.

Jimmy Mangahas, OED Staff during a site visit at Irisan, Baguio
City.

The operational performance of the PSHS System and its campuses is assessed through the
logical framework shown below. Indicators of performance in the campus-level are: number of
scholars supported per year, percentage of graduates enrolled in S&T courses, all PSHS
campuses to be included in the Top 20 Schools passing UPCAT, and percentage of graduates
passing the UPCAT. Since CARC is only on its third year operation, it does not have graduates
nor students taking the UPCAT yet.
