Last April 6, the UP Geological Society concluded the 2024 National Geology Congress with the highly anticipated return of the 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇: 𝗔𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. With 25 teams representing 16 schools across the country, the event marked a triumphant comeback in a face-to-face format.

We are thrilled to announce the Philippine Science High School - SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus as the new GeoQuiz champions, clinching the coveted cash prize of PHP 10,000. Following closely behind was the Team B of Ateneo de Manila Senior and Junior High School, securing the second spot with a prize of PHP 5,000. The Parañaque Science High School claimed third place, earning PHP 3,000. The top three winners were also presented with plaques and medals, while certificates and giveaways from sponsors were distributed to all participating teams.

On April 5, 2024, the UP Geological Society also held 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗮𝘆: 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 (𝗛𝗦𝗪) as one of the subevents of the 2024 National Geology Congress.

The HSW aims to enlighten the students with some of the most pressing problems faced by our planet and emphasize the role of earth scientists in resolving such problems. During the event, several earth science lecturers had thought-provoking discussions on climate change and disasters, as well as career paths in the earth science field. Furthermore, workshops were also conducted to boost the interest of the students in pursuing a geoscience degree in college by teaching them the fundamentals of mineral and rock identification as well as basic field techniques.

We are also proud to announce that this year’s installment of the HSW had one of the largest number of participants to date. To the students, we hope that you were able to develop a deeper love for the earth sciences, learned new things and had fun while learning them. We would also like to thank the speakers and everyone else who made the event a success.

Looking forward to seeing more inquisitive and scientific-minded students in the future installments of HSW!

As our Earth faces adversity, Talaghay aims to produce courage among the youth in learning more about the geosciences, how geoscientists address the pressing issues of our planet, and the significance of incurring interest within the youth about Earth.

This high school students' workshop is subdivided into a lecture and workshop series, spearheaded by distinguished geoscientists in their field.

Our first lecture will be about 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 to be held by 𝐌𝐬. 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠. She is a licensed geologist currently working in De La Salle University as a STEM Educator. With her lecture, students can gain understanding and valuable insights about different career pathways that they can pursue in the field of geosciences.

For our second lecture, 𝐌𝐫𝐬. 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐢 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐁. 𝐘𝐛𝐚ñ𝐞𝐳 will have a discussion about the 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. She is currently a Supervising Science Research Specialist at the UP Resilience Institute. Her talk will provide a comprehensive discussion on the crucial role of earth scientists in studying disasters and helping the community prepare for and navigate through the impacts of
such events.

For the last lecture of our lecture series, 𝐌𝐬. 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐄𝐲𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐑. 𝐋𝐢𝐫𝐚 will have a lecture on the 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. She is a licensed geologist, the Storytelling Lead of the Youth Strike 4 Climate PH, and a member of Climate Justice Committee in Habi Youth Network. This lecture aims to cultivate in the youth an understanding of the climate change issue at hand and how earth scientists can contribute to mitigating its consequences.

Our first workshop series will be teaching about 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to be led by 𝐌𝐬. 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐌. 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠. She is a licensed geologist currently working as Instructor at the National Institute of Geological Sciences and working on geophysical investigations of Manila Subduction Zones. Her workshop will equip students in basic mineral and rock identification and learning about the different rocks that can be found in the Philippines and basic understanding of their formation.

The last workshop will be held by 𝐌𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐨 𝐀𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐬 on 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬. He is a licensed geologist currently working as an Instructor at the National Institute of Geological Sciences. This workshop's objective is to introduce the students to the basic field techniques by geoscientists and give a glimpse of what geologists do in the field.

I hope you are ready to learn more about Earth Sciences, future geoscientists.
𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐈𝐭. 𝐎𝐧.

While many know Raphy as a "shy, creative, and a jack of all trades type of guy," he also has a humorous, chaotic side that brings smiles and laughs (and sometimes leaves us confused). Whether doing academics or organizational tasks together, playing football or doing music gigs, or having those everything-under-the-sun chika sessions, Raphy's mere presence would certainly make any moment special. And whenever you need a shoulder to lean on, he is always ready to lend one.

Happy birthday, Raphy! Your Josok family wishes that you enjoy your special day! 💙🧡

Jade is a treasure in her own right. It's no wonder a gemstone was named after her! Diligent and warmhearted, she spreads good vibes with her radiant smile and inspires people with her steadfast dedication to everything that she does. Jade is always there, whether it be to lend an ear or a helping hand—and of course, we'd do the same in a heartbeat.

We wish you the very best on your special day! Your Josok journey has only just begun, and we'll be there for you every step of the way. Happy Birthday, Jade! 💙🧡

Do not underestimate Faji’s quiet demeanor, because behind her calm exterior lies a strong capacity to lead people and get tasks done. Once you collaborate with her, you’ll be amazed by her insights on how to improve organizational tasks. And apart from being a valuable org member, she is also fun to talk to about chikas and life.

Your GeoSoc family wishes you a happy, happy birthday, Faji! 🧡💙 Enjoy the rest of your special day! 🎂
