 INTRODUCTION

“Success is belonging to those who work for it.”

As I entire in the portal of Polytechnic University of the Philippines to pursue my college

life at first I want to be an IT specialist. But I remembered what my Father’s said “

Always Acknowledge Good in the way you want to take and He shall direct your path”. I

say a little prayer. “ Lord I want to be like this…But may your will be done unto me”. I

was surprised that I was counted as a student of Bachelor in Business Teacher Education

which I never dream to be. I started to ask question…”Why?”

As the time, days, week, months and years goes by I found the answer on my question.

“I was chosen to educate people”. Not only to teach but to give what I have to those who

are nothing less in education. “How lucky I was!”. I learned how o love my work and

career and I’m glad to see the fruit of my perseverance.

This portfolio is the record of who I am as a student of PUPQC and Student Teacher of

San Mateo National High School.

My dedication to get trough this career is within the every pages of this portfolio. The

author hope that it will serve as inspiration to those students pursuing career like us in the

field of education.

Thomas Aquinas

Creator of all things,

true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.

Take from me the double darkness

in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.

Give me a keen understanding,

a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things
correctly and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent

of being exact in my explanations
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning,

direct the progress,
and help in the completion.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

CURRENT TRENDS
IN EDUCATION

35
Principles and general objectives of education

In the Philippines the education system aims to:

Provide a broad general education that will assist each individual in society to attain
his/her potential as a human being, and enhance the range and quality of the individual
and the group;

Help the individual participate in the basic functions of society and acquire the essential
educational foundation for his/her development into a productive and versatile
citizen;

Train the nation’s manpower in the middle-level skills required for national
development;

36

Develop the high-level professions that will provide leadership for the nation, advance
knowledge through research, and apply new knowledge for improving the quality of
human life;

Respond effectively to changing needs and conditions through a system of educational

planning and evaluation.

Current educational priorities and concerns

The growing awareness of the benefits of education, the constitutional provision (a new
constitution was adopted in 1987) for free and compulsory elementary education, the demand for
education relevance and responsiveness to changing societal needs and the alarming rate of
increase in the country’s population have contributed to the problem of providing education for
all, a problem which becomes more serious each year. The Department of Education, Culture and
Sports (now the Department of Education, DepED) has attempted to implement educational
reforms, programmes and projects to address the key issues of access and quality of basic
education, relevance and efficiency of the education system. However, many problems are
besetting education in the Philippines. Among the school-related causes are the unqualified and
poorly trained teachers, inadequate facilities and equipment, and lack of instructional materials
(textbooks and teacher’s manuals). Non-school factors include poverty, low educational
attainment and illiteracy of parents, and poor health and nutrition.

In recent years, the DepEd has pursued several development programmes and projects through
government funding and overseas economic co-operation both multilateral and bilateral. The
strategies to improve education include overall review of elementary and secondary education,
universal access to and quality of education (notably by emphasizing teaching of English,
science, technology and mathematics), provision of alternative delivery schemes (such as
multigrade teaching, mobile teaching, and instructional management by parents, community and
teachers in disaster areas), management training for principals and school administrators,
development of research, improvement of school libraries and teachers’ welfare. Technical and
vocational education was also revised in an effort to cope with rapid technological advancements
and to provide young people with more meaningful preparation for their future employment. The

37
strategies include curriculum development, improvement of pre- and in-service education of
teachers in both public and private schools, updated instructional materials in various fields, and
upgrading of equipment for both public and private institutions.

At the higher education level, the strategies include improving access of the poor and
disadvantaged, improving quality––notably by focusing on pre-service and in-service training of
teachers––, liberalizing policies for private schools, rationalizing state colleges and universities
(SUCs), and strengthening linkages with government professional boards for
evaluation.

Among the development programmes implemented in recent years, the following should be
mentioned:

The Elementary and Secondary Education Project: the aim of the project has been to meet the
sector’s requirement for essential physical resources (facilities and equipment), especially in
educationally and economically disadvantaged areas; improve the professional competence of
teachers and school administrators; expand the population’s basic knowledge and the skills of
children at risk of dropping out of school as well as illiterate out-of-school youth and adults; and
further develop DepEd institutional capacities in planning and management of the education
system.

Implementing the New Secondary Education Curriculum (1992-93): mass training of Grade IV
teachers was undertaken, and complemented with the production and delivery of textbooks and
teachers’ manuals to fully support the implementation of the new curriculum. The physical
facilities component of the programme also provided for the construction of 673 packages of
equipped and furnished academic classrooms, workshops and science laboratories to augment the
accommodations problem in the secondary level.

The School Building Programme: this programme provides for the construction of classrooms,
science laboratories and multi-purpose workshops, and the provision of equipment for instruction
for selected elementary and secondary schools within the typhoon belt of the country and in
remote and rural areas.

Science Teaching Improvement Project: this project aims to develop science equipment through
research, prototype production, standards setting and tests, and expertise within the educational
38
sector through workshops, seminars, and training of teachers and staff locally and
abroad.

Science Equipment Project: this project addresses the pressing need of the public school system
for instructional materials and equipment. The National Science Equipment Centre and three
Regional Distribution/Service Centres were developed and institutionalized for the purpose of
developing, testing, producing, and distributing science equipment to the public secondary
schools.

Rationalizing programme offerings of state colleges and universities on a regional basis: this
programme aims at encourage specialization in each SUC and intra-regionally among SUCs with
special emphasis on capital and land-intensive courses such as agriculture, technology and
engineering, and technical education. It encourages regional co-ordination among SUCs to
minimize duplication of programme offerings.

Among the achievements, benefits and performance of the education system over a ten-year
period (1986-95), the following should be mentioned:

Education has been given the highest budgetary priority in the national government
budget.

The New Elementary School Curriculum (NESC) and the New Secondary School
Curriculum (NSSC) have been fully implemented.

Free public secondary education has been implemented.

The programme of assistance for low-income students and faculty in private schools has
been expanded.

The Values Education Framework has been formulated and implemented.

Centres of excellence in teacher education have been established.

Professionalization of the teaching profession has been achieved through the Philippine
Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994.

39

The National Elementary Achievement Test for Grade VI pupils and the National
Secondary Achievement Test for Form IV high school students have been
administered.

Student contact time has increased through a lengthened school calendar and additional
time for English, science and mathematics.

Science education has been strengthened through the establishment of regional science
high schools, the formulation and implementation of the Science and Technology
Education Plan, the establishment of the Regional Science Teaching Centres, and the
organization of the National Science Teaching Instrumentation Centre.

Policies governing private education have been liberalized––notably as regards

curriculum requirements and tuition fee policy––to promote efficiency, autonomy and
responsiveness.

Educational performance during the period has improved, as indicated by the literacy
rate, the improved enrolment rate at the primary and secondary levels, the decrease of
repetition rates, and the provision of textbooks and instructional materials.

The DepEd will continue to provide access to basic education. In accordance with the broadening
of accessibility to basic education, the programme commitment has the following components:
(a) establishment of a school in every barangay not having an elementary school and in every
town without a high school (a barangay is the basic governmental unit in the country’s political
structure, consisting of a number of families within the same geographic area); (b) organization of
multigrade classrooms; (c) completion of incomplete elementary schools; and (d) provision of
basic instructional materials, facilities and equipment at the elementary and high school
levels.

In addition, the Master Plan for Basic Education (1996-2005) has the mandate of modernizing
education. The programme is being pursued through the introduction of modern instructional
materials––such as computers and Internet, videos, well equipped science laboratories and
machine shops as well as libraries––to enrich instruction through training programmes and further
40
studies, including staff development abroad, teaching techniques and teachers’ mastery of subject
matter. Training programmes will also be provided for the upgrading of managerial skills in
planning, project and fund management as well as resource management and community
mobilization. Information and telecommunication systems will serve as basic tools for carrying
out educational administration and supervision.

Laws and other basic regulations concerning education

In the Philippines, education is a public or state function. Public elementary and secondary
education is supported by the national government, the former as mandated by the Constitution
(1987), which states that “the State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality
education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all”,
and the latter by Republic Act No. 6655 (Free Secondary Education Act). Specific provisions on
education upon which all decrees, policies, regulations, and rules on education are based, are
provided in the Constitution. These are expressly stated by way of the constitutional mandate,
Presidential decree, and other legal provisions.

The objectives of formal education at the elementary, secondary, and tertiary levels as well as
those of non-formal education are specified in the Education Act of 1982. The Republic Act No.
6728 deals with private education, notably by setting common minimum physical facilities and
curricular requirements for all schools and by liberalizing the subject content of values
education.

The creation of the Commission on Higher Education by Republic Act No. 7722 and of the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority separated these entities from the
Department of Education where they originally belonged.

The Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act, Republic Act No. 7836, was issued in 1994.
The Literacy Co-ordination Council, an interagency body administratively attached to DECS, was
created by Republic Act No. 7165 to carry out State policy to eradicate illiteracy. The House Bill
No. 1875 entitled “An Act to Strengthen Teacher Education in the Philippines by Establishing
Lead Teacher Training Institutions, Appropriating Funds Therefore and for Other Purposes” deals
with the improvement of teacher education.

41
The Republic Act No. 7796, otherwise known as the Technical Education and Skills
Development Act of 1994, aims to encourage the full participation of and mobilize the industry,
labour, local government units and technical-vocational education and training (TVET)
institutions in the skills development of the country's human resources.

In August 2001, Republic Act No. 9155, otherwise called the Governance of Basic Education
Act, was passed transforming the name of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports
(DECS) to the Department of Education (DepEd) and redefining the role of field offices (regional
offices, division offices, district offices and schools). This Act provides the overall framework
for: (i) school heads empowerment by strengthening their leadership roles; and (ii) school-based
management within the context of transparency and local accountability. The goal of basic
education is to provide the school age population and young adults with skills, knowledge, and
values to become caring, self-reliant, productive and patriotic citizens.

According to legislation, primary education is free and compulsory for children aged 7-12.
Secondary education is free but not compulsory.

Administration and management of the education system

The Department of Education (DepEd) is the principal government agency responsible for
education and manpower development. The mission of the Department is to provide quality basic
education that is equitably accessible to all and lay the foundation for life-long learning and
service for the common good. The Department is primarily responsible for the formulation,
planning, implementation and co-ordination of the policies, standards, regulations, plans,
programmes and projects in areas of formal and non-formal education. It also supervises all basic
education institutions, both public and private, and provides for the establishment and
maintenance of a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant to the goals of
national development.

The current Department structure consists of two parts: the Central Office and the field offices
which consist of regional and sub-regional levels. The Department proper consists of: the Office
of the Secretary; five Services (Office of Planning Service, Financial and Management Service,
Administrative Service, Human Resource Development Service, and Technical Service); four
42
Bureaus (Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Non-Formal Education, and Physical
Education and School Sports); and Centres (such as Health and Nutrition, and National Education
Testing and Research). There are field offices in sixteen regions, each headed by a Regional
Director; 157 provincial and city schools divisions, each headed by a School Division
Superintendent; and 2,227 school districts headed by a District Supervisor.

The Bureau of Elementary Education (BEE) is responsible for providing access and quality
elementary education for all. It also focuses on social services for the poor and directs public
resources and efforts at socially disadvantaged regions and specific groups. The Bureau of
Secondary Education (BSE) is responsible for providing access and quality secondary education.
Its aim is to enable every elementary graduate to have access to secondary education. It improves
access to secondary education by establishing schools in municipalities where there are none and
reviews the overall structure of secondary education as regards curriculum, facilities, and
teachers’ in-service training.

The Bureau of Non-formal Education (BNFE) is responsible for contributing to the

improvement of the poor through literacy and continuing education programmes. Its aim is to
provide focused basic services to the more disadvantaged sections of the population to improve
their welfare and contribute to human resource development.

The Bureau of Physical Education and School Sports (BPESS) is responsible for physical
fitness promotion, school sports development, cultural heritage revival (Kundiman Fiesta),
natural heritage conservation, and values development. Its aim is to inculcate desirable values
such as self-discipline, honesty, teamwork, sportsmanship, excellence and others and make the
Filipino youth fit to respond adequately to the demands, requirements, challenges and
opportunities that the next century may bring. The functions of the BPESS were absorbed by the
Philippine Sports Commission in August 1999.

Attached agencies to the Department are the National Museum, National Library, National
Historical Institute, and Records Management and Archives Office. Other offices are the
Instructional Materials Corporation, Instructional Materials Council, Educational Development
Projects Implementing Task Force, Educational Assistance Policy Council, National Youth and
Sports Development Board, National Social Action Council and Teacher Education Council. The

43
main objective of the cultural agencies of the Department is to preserve, conserve, restore and
enrich the cultural heritage, customs and traditions.

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) was established
through the enactment of Republic Act No. 7796 otherwise known as the Technical Education
and Skills Development Act of 1994. This Act aims to encourage the full participation of and
mobilize the industry, labour, local government units and technical-vocational education and
training (TVET) institutions in the skills development of the country's human resources. Overall,
TESDA formulates manpower and skills plans, sets appropriate skills standards and tests,
coordinates and monitors manpower policies and programs, and provides policy directions and
guidelines for resource allocation for the TVET institutions in both the private and public
sectors.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is independent and separate from the DepEd.
The Commission is responsible for formulating and implementing policies, plans and
programmes for the development and efficient operation of the system of higher education in the
country. Its coverage is both public and private higher education institutions as well as degree-
granting programmes in all post-secondary educational institutions. The creation of CHED was
part of a broad agenda for reforms in the country's education system, outlined by the
Congressional Commission on Education in 1992. Part of the reforms is the trifocalization of the
education sector. The three governing bodies in the education sector are the CHED for tertiary
and graduate education, the DepEd for basic education, and the TESDA for TVET and middle
level education.

There is an imperative need to strengthen and streamline the internal management of educational
institutions in order to achieve efficiency and responsiveness to trends and challenges of the next
millennium. This could notably be done through decentralizing decision-making authority,
reviewing staffing and personnel policies, developing the school as initiator of innovation and
improvement, liberalizing policies to ensure competitiveness, autonomy and responsiveness, and
streamlining processes for delivery of inputs and services.

A recent policy thrust of the DepEd is the empowerment of school principals. The principal shall
assume more administrative authority and the corresponding accountability for improving
teaching competencies and pupils’ achievement. The policy gives principals the authority to:

44
manage the school’s funds for maintenance and other operating expenses; raise additional funds
for the school through Parent-Teachers and Community Associations; design and develop his/her
own school improvement programme in collaboration with parents and community leaders;
participate in the selection, recruitment and promotion of teachers; plan and develop an
innovative curriculum, using the national curriculum as a framework. The Decentralization
Programme is being implemented by transferring substantive decision-making powers to the
school level.

Key Issues in Philippine Education

Literacy rate in the Philippines has improved a lot over the last few years- from 72 percent in 1960 to
94 percent in 1990. This is attributed to the increase in both the number of schools built and the level
of enrollment in these schools.

The number of schools grew rapidly in all three levels - elementary, secondary, and tertiary. From the
mid-1960s up to the early 1990, there was an increase of 58 percent in the elementary schools and 362
percent in the tertiary schools. For the same period, enrollment in all three levels also rose by 120
percent. More than 90 percent of the elementary schools and 60 percent of the secondary schools are
publicly owned. However, only 28 percent of the tertiary schools are publicly owned.

A big percentage of tertiary-level students enroll in and finish commerce and business management
courses. Table 1 shows the distribution of courses taken, based on School Year 1990-1991. Note that
the difference between the number of enrollees in the commerce and business courses and in the
engineering and technology courses may be small - 29.2 percent for commerce and business and 20.3
percent for engineering and technology. However, the gap widens in terms of the number of graduates
for the said courses.

On gender distribution, female students have very high representation in all three levels. At the
elementary level, male and female students are almost equally represented. But female enrollment
exceeds that of the male at the secondary and tertiary levels . Also, boys have higher rates of failures,
dropouts, and repetition in both elementary and secondary levels.
45
Aside from the numbers presented above, which are impressive, there is also a need to look closely
and resolve the following important issues: 1) quality of education 2) affordability of education 3)
goverment budget for education; and 4) education mismatch.

1. Quality - There was a decline in the quality of the Philippine education, especially at the elementary
and secondary levels. For example, the results of standard tests conducted among elementary and high
school students, as well as in the National College of Entrance Examination for college students, were
way below the target mean score.

2. Affordability - There is also a big disparity in educational achievements across social groups. For
example, the socioeconomically disadvantaged students have higher dropout rates, especially in the
elementary level. And most of the freshmen students at the tertiary level come from relatively well-off
families.

3. Budget - The Philippine Constitution has mandated the goverment to allocate the highest proportion
of its budget to education. However, the Philippines still has one of the lowest budget allocations to
education among the ASEAN countries.

4. Mismatch - There is a large proportion of "mismatch" between training and actual jobs. This is the
major problem at the tertiary level and it is also the cause of the existence of a large group of educated
unemployed or underemployed.

The following are some of the reforms proposed:

1. Upgrade the teachers' salary scale. Teachers have been underpaid; thus there is very little incentive
for most of them to take up advanced trainings.

2. Amend the current system of budgeting for education across regions, which is based on
participation rates and units costs. This clearly favors the more developed regions. There is a need to
provide more allocation to lagging regions to narrow the disparity across regions.

3. Stop the current practice of subsidizing state universities and colleges to enhance access. This may
not be the best way to promote equity. An expanded scholarship program, giving more focus and
priority to the poor, maybe more equitable.
46
4. Get all the leaders in business and industry to become actively involved in higher education; this is
aimed at addressing the mismatch problem. In addition, carry out a selective admission policy, i.e.,
installing mechanisms to reduce enrollment in oversubscribed courses and promoting enrollment in
undersubscribed ones.

5. Develop a rationalized apprenticeship program with heavy inputs from the private sector.
Furthermore, transfer the control of technical training to industry groups which are more attuned to the
needs of business and industry.

Woes of a FIlipino Teacher

Imagine yourself a Filipino teacher. Imagine yourself a teacher in a public school. Imagine yourself
handling a class of 60 to 70 students. Imagine yourself handling two shifts of classes with 60 to 70
students.

Yes, it is a nightmare. And yes it happens in real life within the public school system. It is a
manifestation of the two most prevalent problems in the educational system: lack of classrooms and
lack of teachers.

In fairness, most private school teachers, especially those in small private schools, will admit that
public school mentors earn more than they do. But even with the relatively higher wages, it does not
seem to compensate for the daily travails of public school teachers.

The ideal ratio of teacher to student is 1:25. The less number of children handled by onementor, the
more attention can be given to each individual, especially if their learning competencies are not equal.
With 25 students in a class, the teacher is likely to know each of her students, not only by face but by
name and how they are actually performing in class.

But with 60 children in a classroom, it is a miracle how teachers are able to stay sane every single day.
They hardly know their pupils, save for the excellent ones or unfortunately, the notorious. She does
not even bother to remember them. How can she? Classrooms are cramped, if there are any at all.
Many classes are held in makeshift rooms meaning a multi-purpose covered court with partitions
where 4 or 5 classes are merely separated by thin plywood walls. With 60 kids north, east, south and

47
west, it's a wonder teachers can hear themselves over the din.

And how do you tailor lessons with so many competencies to consider? Often, the result is children
are left to cope on their own. If they get the lesson, well and good. Otherwise, they are lucky to pass at
the end of the year.

Yes, students are still divided into sections and they are grouped into the level of their academic skills.
Which leaves those who are academically challenged lumped together and their teacher to stretch her
skills, patience, resources and dedication to addressing the need of her students.

Resources are another matter. Many public school classrooms are equipped with the most basic of
equipment: a blackboard, chalk and eraser. Some are fortunate to have visual aids, either donated or
purchased by the school. But many times, a teacher will not only have to be creative, but will dig into
her own pocket to produce the kind of materials she needs and wants to teach class.

It used to be that rolls of Manila paper were adequate to write down the lesson for the day. But this
can get to be very expensive, especially if the lessons are long. And with a class so huge, children are
barely able to see small handwriting from the back, so you need to write bigger, and use more paper.
Children always welcome additional and unique visual aids, and woe to the teacher who has to create
them if she wants her subject or lesson to be more interesting.

Which brings us to the budget for visual aids. It is non-existent, except if you choose to shell out on
your own. Teachers still have to make ends meet. And often, their pay is simply not enough to cover
their needs, as well as their families.

The Department of Education just announced that so many millions of pesos have been released for
the construction and repair of classrooms around the country. I believe this will only cover those
included in a priority list. But there are many more schools which lack classrooms, and more
communities that lack schools.

When additional classrooms are built, will there be additional teachers? If new teachers will be hired,
will there be a budget to support their wages?

It's a never-ending cycle, because the government has yet to come up with a plan that will finally
address these problems.
48
In the meantime, Ma'm or Sir will have to suffer through their public school experience.

Blast from the Past

My paternal grandparents were teachers. My father's sister was also a teacher, and in fact, worked her
way up the ranks to later become a public school principal. Since my grandparents have both passed
on, my aunt and dad never fail to regale us with stories of how it was in public schools during their
time.

If I remember correctly, everything was simplified. The curriculum was the basics or the 3 Rs --
Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic. By the time children completed each year level, they would at least
know how to read, write and do simple math, and progress a bit more after every grade level.

I say great! To my mind, armed with these skills, you can fend for yourself even at a young age
because you'd understand simple written instructions, you can jot down important things, and you'd be
a little savvy about simple trade.

Back then, they had simple books -- ones that really honed a student's skill by familiarizing him with
the alphabet, phonetics and simple definitions. Unless you've mastered the addition table, you were
nowhere near progressing to multiplication. And even if teachers ended up "terrorizing" their students
or resorting to punishment, the bottomline was to inculcate in them the necessary skills to make them
competent individuals in the future.

Sure they had books and notebooks but not enough to break a child's back or dislocate the shoulders.
They were the essentials. A pencil, some writing paper and a notebook or two were all they needed to
come to class.

Boys were not exempt from home economics classes, which included learning to cook, sew, and keep
house. Neither were girls excluded from practical arts classes which had them gardening, doing basic
carpentry or even learning handyman skills.

It's been quite some time since I, too, was in school. But I do recall that things weren't as complicated
as they are now -- especially in the public school system here in the Philippines. Yet, the graduates

49
that were produced could go toe-to-toe with children who were products of private schools. In fact,
public school educated children were often better than their private school counterparts. The only
difference is their economic status and the opportunities available to them.

So what went wrong? When had things become different? Why did they suddenly change a system
that was working?

PROFESSIONAL DEVELPOMENT PLAN

As a future Business Teacher Educator I want to develop the skills in my profession after
I graduated. I want to apply in a company to be able to contribute to them my knowledge
in salesmanship, management, entrepreneurial management and all the skills that our
mentors inculcate to us in four years that we arte here in this institution.

Second choice is to teach in a private school while preparing for the coming board exam.
I don’t want to waste all the opportunities that may come on my way since I have to let
my other siblings to pursue their college career and also to payback all the perseverance
that my parents and relatives spent for me just to reach who I am today.

Third after getting experiences through working…after I passed the LET examination I
will apply in the public schools where my dreams started, because, I am proud to say that
I was a product of Public Schools.

If Gods plan, I want to go abroad to work there and experience the life outside the
country.

 HISTORY OF SAN MATEO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

The school was established in 1985 through the leadership of the former Municipal
Mayor Nemesio Roxas.

The school started with 90 first year students with only 5 teachers through the approval of
a temporary permit #73. Soon, the exceedingly large enrollees in the next school year,
1986-1987 paved the way for the hiring of more teachers and non-teaching personnel.
Initially, Dr. Crisanto Rivera acted as the Officer-In-Charge. Upon his exit in 1986, Mrs.
Leticia A. Bautista took office for two consecutive years until 1988.

Later, San Mateo Municipal High School was converted to a National High School under
the management of Ms. Juana M. Garrovillas who served as the principal from 1988-
2000. Apparently within her term, she was able to transpire physical improvements of the
school facilities to meet the demands of the growing population. Makeshifts and 2 Ynares
Buildings were constructed through her consistent follow up at the municipal and
provincial offices. Until then, Computer Room, Science Building, H.E. Room and
Library were made possible for quality service.

Meanwhile, the first annex was established in 1994 pursuant to R.A. # 6655 addressing
the growing need of the barangay for a public school in Barangay Silangan, San Mateo,
Rizal. The annex started with one section of first year. When the AFP Retirement and
Separation Benefit System granted the deed of donation on March 22, 1997, providing
their own school site, Silangan Annex was separated from the main. It is therefore
renamed, Silangan National High School under the leadership of Mr. Remigio Olesco as
the former Teacher-In-Charge and presently managed by Mr. Ricardo C. Vergara,
51
