Malacañang to confer 2 ACNHS master teachers as finalists
for the 2023 Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award

Mr. Kris Cristhopher Dela Cruz and Dr. Raquel Rivera-Rarang, master teachers at the Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS), will be conferred as national finalists for the 2023 Presidential Lingkod Bayan on February 14 at the Malacañang Palace by President Ferdinand “Bong-Bong” Marcos, Jr. for their exemplary dedication to education and public service.

This accolade celebrates public servants who have demonstrated outstanding commitment, innovation, and impact in their respective fields, embodying the highest standards of public service and excellence.

Pagatpatan, former Superintendent of the Schools Division Office of Alaminos City, and Ms. Marilu N. Cardenas, also a former Assistant Superintendent of SDO Alaminos City and OIC-Principal IV of the ACNHS for their faith and trust to their potential. He also thanked his mother for reminding him to be faithful and kind in all circumstances, and to always choose to be right despite being avoided and persecuted by people close to me. Furthermore, he thanked SDO Alaminos City and ACNHS because the award he is about to receive is not only a reflection of his passion and hard work, but also a reflection of every public servant who wholeheartedly fulfills his sworn duties to our country.

“Nakaangkla sa karangalan na ito ay ang mga dati at kasalukuyang kong mga mag-aaral lalo sa bumubuo ng ACNHS Robotics Team na naging bahagi sa aking paglalakbay bilang g**o… Nagpapasalamat ako sa inyong lahat dahil binigyan nila ako ng pagkakataon na maturuan at magabayan sa kanilang mga pag-aaral.” Dela Cruz added.

SDS Pagatpatan caps ACNHS Araw ng Pagbasa
✒️ Vincent John Garcia

SDO Alaminos City Chief Executive, Dr. Vivian Luz S. Pagatpatan graced the month-long school-based celebration of the Pambansang Buwan at Araw ng Pagbasa (PBAP) 2023 Kick-off Ceremony of Alaminos City National High School as Mystery Reading Ambassador to foster and develop the love for reading among students.

Pagatpatan said before reading the parable, Ang Alibughang Anak, that she loved and enjoyed reading books when she was young.
She began the story reading by introducing the text and unlocking the meaning of alibugha.

As she read the story, Pagatpatan used an effective questioning strategy to keep the students engaged and to check their understanding by asking comprehension questions.

The post-reading made the students even more excited as Pagatpatan gave away prizes to students who were able to answer her questions.

“I enjoyed listening to Ma’am Vivian because she is very engaging. She motivated us to listen and look forward to the development of the story she read. Winning prizes is just a bonus,” Tristan Duke Mendoza, Grade 10 student said in an interview.

Some students also showcased their talents in poetry recital that impressed Pagatpatan.

The ceremony was concluded by Assistant Schools Division Superintendent and Officer in Charge of the Office of the School Principal IV Marilu N. Cardenas by discussing the importance of reading and how could it be life-changing.

“May pag-asa sa pagbasa,” Cardenas ended.

This year’s theme for the PBAP 2023 is “PAGBASA: Para sa MATATAG na kinabukasan”.

To provide learners a structured opportunity to gain education, training, and hands-on experiences in mass communication, broadcasting, and journalism through print and online media, the Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS) will offer this school year Special Program in Journalism (SPJ).

Dr. Johnson Sunga, the education supervisor in English of DepEd Region I validated this afternoon the documents submitted by the school and checked the facilities and equipment necessary for the said curriculum.

Sunga said he is looking forward for the offering of SPJ in all the Schools Division Offices of DepEd Region I.

Meanwhile, Chanel Viray, an incoming Grade 7 SPJ student said in an interview that she wanted to pursue Journalism in College so she was thankful for the opportunity.

The school, led by School Principal IV Aladin Mayo is hoping for more enrollees now that the DepEd Regional Office has approved its application for the offering of SPJ.

Some SDO Alaminos City officials present during the validation were education program supervisors Mrs. Elnora Raroque, Dr. Cynthia Tablang and Dr. Aleta Begonia. Along with them were Dr. Eliza Abelon, Dr. Juvilou Boling, Miss Irish Jial Ginez, and Mr. Roy Candado, school paper advisers.

The qualifying examination and interview is scheduled on August 16, Wednesday, at the ACNHS Journalism Building, 8 o'clock in the morning.

FIRST IN YOUTHCASTER: ALAMINOS FILMMAKERS BAG AWARD IN TOKYO FILM FEST

Filmmakers of Layag Productions bagged “Student Award” in the recently concluded TOYO Tourism Short Film Festival in Tokyo, Japan for their film Ang Himala sa Kamay ng Daang Tao.

The documentary short tackles about the miraculous way of building the Pilgrimage Island in the open waters of Hundred Islands in Alaminos.

“What also makes it miraculous is it was built by the community with labor force consisted of the different organisation in the city most especially the TOKHANGS where they extended their services as their repentance and were not obliged by the higher authority,” the synopsis of the story read.

The award was handed at TOYO University to Ms. Raquel Rivera, the film's producer and head of production. She was accompanied by Mr. Aladin Mayo, head of Alaminos City National High School, and John Michael Campos.

The film was under the direction of Jezreel Necesito, an Alaminos native, and current AB film student at De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde. | via Christian Ramoso

ACNHS LAUNCHES ‘SHOP AND READ’
Learning is Priceless

Today marks the highlight of the National Reading Month celebration for the Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS) because it formally opened to the public its Reading Center, featuring one of the school’s reading innovations dubbed as Shop and Read (S and R) with the tagline, Learning is Priceless!

Internal and external stakeholders attended the program and strengthened their partnership and commitment in providing the needs of the struggling readers.

Board Member of the First District of Pangasinan Apolonia G. Bacay in her inspirational message said she would continue to support the literacy programs of the school.

“Asahan ninyo po ang aking suporta para matulungan po natin ang mga mag-aaral na hirap sa pagbasa. Nakita ko na may mga kailangan pa rito sa reading center kaya i-poprovide po natin yan, lalo na at nalaman ko na marami sa mga estudyante na kailangan ang programang ito ay taga sa aming barangay,” she added.

Meanwhile, Curriculum Implementation Division (CID) Chief Orlando I, Guerrero congratulated the school for coming up with a reading center that would be a hub for all the students and teachers.

One of the highlights of the program was the simulation on Shop and Read procedure by the selected Grade 7 students. They read the words they shopped to the teachers, guests, and stakeholders. Some of them who read all the words correctly were given simple tokens as rewards.

“I enjoyed and had so much fun! Shopping words and reading them to the guests made me so nervous and excited. Nervous because I thought I might not read all the words, and excited because if I’ll read them all correctly, I’ll get a reward,” Jan Dayle D. Donato, a Grade 7 student, said.

The conceptualization of Shop and Read was based on the data report of the school Reading Coordinator Vincent John C. Garcia.

Out of approximately 7,000 students both in the JHS and SHS levels who were assessed using the Functional Literacy Assessment Tool (FLAT) last September-October, 46 students were at the Nothing Level, and 490 were in the Word level in the JHS; whereas, in the SHS, 15 students were in the Nothing level and 81 were in the Word level.

“Something must be done because it’s a big number and we must address the reading problems. We, in the English Department are still learning the science of teaching beginning reading,” Dr. Eliza G. Abelon, Master Teacher II and proponent of Shop and Read remarked.

Meanwhile, Mr. Jose M. Radoc Jr., Head Teacher III of the English Department thanked the stakeholders for their invaluable support.

He said, “with your guidance and support and for sharing your wisdom for making S&R a reality, we convey our deep appreciation.

Part of the program was the reading of a local story by a reading ambassador. Dr. Vivian Luz S. Pagatpatan, OIC Schools Division Superintendent of SDO Alaminos City read to the Grade 7 students of Dr. Juvilou A. Boling, Master Teacher I. She also asked few questions to check the comprehension skills of students.

In her message, Dr. Pagatpatan said that reading is fundamental to learning. She also said that the passion and love for reading must be instilled in students.

One of the stakeholders, Mr. Rudell A. Ramirez, Assistant Professor of UP Los Baños, also gave his short message. According to him, when a student learns to read and comprehend, he/she becomes a critical thinker and starts to be involved in what is happening in his/her environment and country.

In his closing remarks, School Principal IV Aladin M. Mayo thanked all the stakeholders and commended the English Department led by Radoc for initiating reading initiatives and innovations.

Also present during the program were City Librarian Virgie E. Aquino, Miss Richelle Ann Majin from the City Information Office, Retired Master Teacher II Cora A. Fangon, Press Official Josephine A. Satuito, EPS in ESP Ronald B. Radoc, OIC Assistant School Principals, Dr. Sherlyn V. Romasoc and Mr. Jose Ramil A. Sibun, Head Teachers Emily V. Untalasco, Dr. Anegla C. Amil, Florencio C. Valdez, Arnold P. Imbisan, Gina O. Liwanag, Dr. Cristy Grace W. Bautista, Dr. Michelle L. Navarro, Mrs. Marinel N. Sison, SPTA Chairman and Vice Chairman Pastor Romenito A. Pader and Mrs. Thelema S. Apaya, English teachers, and key officials of the Supreme Student Government led by Miss Danielle Gulen.

ACNHS robotics bets bag awards in 2022 National Robotics Tilt

Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS) robotics champs won several awards in the 2022 National Robotics Championship sponsored by Pinoy Robot Games on October 5.

Despite the three years of distance learning, ACNHS still soars high in national competitions--proof that even a health crisis cannot stop students from realizing their full potential.

In the competition, Conrad Kenneth A. Rapatalo landed in the third spot, in the Creative Category for his Science Investigatory Project Proposal, BaBaBot: Bamboo-based Smart Hydroponics with the Internet of Things Connection Robot.

Also, Gabriella Allyson L. Esguerra won second place in the Line Tracing Category of the same competition.

This would not be possible without the robotics expertise of their coach, Mr. Kris Cristhopher C. Dela Cruz, who at the same time was recognized as the Most Outstanding Robotics Coach by the Pinoy Robot Games.

"Waiting for the day the competition to come felt nerve-wracking since there wasn't much to prepare. Waiting for my turn to use that robot made me extremely anxious and light-headed. When it was my turn, I felt excited since I was finally going to stand there and control the robot. I felt ecstatic when I won second place in a national competition and [I] will always be grateful for being a part of it," said Esguerra in an interview.

According to the Science teachers, Robotics is gaining more popularity among high schoolers nowadays. However, because of it being expensive, a lot of students are disheartened to try even if they have the skill.

Doctor Michelle L. Navarro, master teacher and OIC head teacher said that allocating more funds for such an amazing activity in the years to come would surely entice more students.

READying for a cause
ACNHS STUDES VOW TO BE READING TUTORS

I am. I can. So, I will.

This became the mantra of the student leaders of the Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS) after they pledged to serve as reading tutors or volunteers to their schoolmates who are struggling.

This afternoon, the Senior High School (SHS) Dept., led by OIC asst. school principals, Dr. Sherlyn V. Romasoc and Mr. Jose Ramil A. Sibun, spearheaded the orientation program and MOA signing for the student-reading volunteers at the Alumni Home.

In his message, Mr. Aladin M. Mayo, the school principal, challenged the students to be of service to their fellow in helping them to read.

Mrs. Analiza C. Racraquin and Mrs. Sitti Fatima A. Estabillo, SHS teachers and reading coordinators explained the reading assessment tools, as well as the reading levels.

Moreover, Mr. Leovanny A. Aglibot, a SHS teacher and former elementary teacher discussed some strategies and approaches in teaching beginning reading.

With Aglibot's expertise in teaching reading, he also shared some tips on how a student could be an effective reading 'buddy' to his/her fellow.

Meanwhile, while the opening program for the orientation has commenced at the Alumni Home, the Junior High School (JHS) reading coordinators, along with the Pangasinan State University (PSU) Alaminos City Campus reading volunteers and the non-teaching personnel, were preparing the reading center.

"We're almost done with the reading assessment both in English and in Filipino, so right after that, we will now use our reading center as the venue for all our reading undertakings, especially our reading innovation, Shop and Read, which will soon be launched," said Dr. Eliza G. Abelon, master teacher and proponent of the said program.

With approximately 6,000 students being diagnosed in reading, the ACNHS reading committee and the teachers are positive that the right prescriptions be given according to the different reading problems.

Parent-volunteers, sumabak sa pagsasanay sa pagbasa

Sumabak ngayong umaga ang mga parent-volunteer ng Alaminos City National High School (ACNHS) sa pagsasanay kung paano sila magiging epektibong tagapagturo sa mga mag-aaral na hirap sa pagbasa katuwang ang mga g**o at student-volunteer ng paaralan.

Pinangunahan nina Pastor Romenito A. Pader at Gng. Thelma S. Apaya, chairman at vice chairman ng SPTA Board of Directors ang mga magulang na lumahok sa pagsasanay.

Ayon kay G. Aladin M. Mayo, punongg**o ng ACNHS, malaking tulong ang mga parent-volunteer upang mas palakasin ang pwersa sa pag-angat ng literasiya ng mga mag-aaral.

Sa mensahe naman ni G. Jose Ramil A. Sibun, OIC asst. school principal, sinabi niya na sa inisyal na datos sa reading assessment ng Senior High School ay mayroon pa ring mga mag-aaral na halos hindi makabasa ng mga salita. "Ang kasanayan sa pagbasa ang simula ng pagkatuto ng mga mag-aaral," dagdag pa niya.

"It takes a village to educate a child," ang naging hamon naman ni Dr. Aleta C. Begonia, education program supervisor sa Kindergarten/MTB-MLE, sa kanyang pangganyak na mensahe para sa mga kalahok. Katuwang ni Begonia sina Gng. Elnora T. Raroque at Bb. Elisa R. Ranoy, education program supervisors sa English at Filipino, sa pagpapaigting sa mga programa sa pagbasa.

Samantala, ipinaliwanag nina Gng. Meliza T. Rabina at Gng. Rizalina M. Necesito, Brigada Pagbasa coordinators, ang mga lebel sa pagbasa gamit ang Functional Literacy Assessment Tool (FLAT) na nilikha ng DepEd Region I.

Binigyang-linaw naman ni G. Vincent John C. Garcia, reading coordinator, ang mga estratehiya sa epektibong pagtuturo ng pagbasa.

Bahagi ng programa ang pagpirma sa memorandum of understanding sa pagitan ng mga lider sa paaralan at ng mga parent-volunteer. Binuo rin ang group chat para sa mga parent-volunteer kung saan ipadadala ang kanilang iskedyul para sa pagtuturo ng pagbasa sa paaralan.

Inihahanda na rin ang reading center ng paaralan kung saan dito isasagawa ang mga inobasyon sa pagbasa.
