LAOAG CITY—A state-of-the-art three-storey building which shall be known as another branch of the Philippines Science High School (PSHS) will soon rise in the province under the administration of President Rodrigo R. Duterte.

If plans do not miscarry, outstanding high school students here who are exemplary in math and science subjects need not to experience early separation anxiety with their families and go to San Ildefonso, Ilocos Sur, the closest branch of PSHS in Region 1.

Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Ma. Cristina “Ria” Fariñas, daughter of Rep. Rodolfo Fariñas (1^st district Ilocos Norte) confirmed this after a consultation dialogue with officials of the Department of Education.

Through the initiative of Ms. Fariñas’ dad, who currently serves as the Majority Floor Leader of the House of Representatives, she said, “the vision is to come up with a separate and world class Science High School in Laoag City”, which shall be located at the vacant lot of the Ilocos Norte National High School.

According to Ms. Fariñas, the DepEd has already committed around ₱83 million for this purpose including its program of works to be implemented the soonest possible time.

Once completed, she added the proposed building is expected to open for students by the school year 2018.

Earlier, local DepEd officials here went to Metro Manila and visited the facilities of the PSHS central office, where the proposed project shall be patterned.
