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 (1st
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.
