Zambo. del Sur Gov. Tony Cerilles
PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur, July 9 (PNA) -– Gov. Antonio Cerilles is eyeing to establish a Philippine Science High School (PSHS) in Dumalinao town in a bid to provide quality education to the youths in this province.

Provincial information officer Marivic Jongco said Wednesday that Cerilles has proposed that the PSHS will be established in a nine-hectare area in Barangay Rebukon, Dumalinao, this province.

Jongco said an evaluation team headed by Department of Science and Technology (DOST) undersecretary Fortunato Dela Peña inspected last week the site proposed by Cerilles.

Jongco said Cerilles and first district Rep. Victor Yu, who supports the establishment of the PSHS, and other local government officials, accompanied Dela Peña’s team. 

Yu chairs the House Committee on Science and Technology.

“The establishment of the (PSHS) institution would be very beneficial to the Zambosurians as well as to the neighboring provinces since students from poor families who have the potentials can be accommodated in our locality. They will no longer go to distant provinces,” Jongco quoted Cerilles as saying.

The PSHS is a specialized public high school that operates as an attached entity of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

The PSHS is the first science high school in the country that nurtures students to become scientists and technologists in the future.

Dumalinao Mayor Ace William Cerilles said he fully support the establishment of the PSHS since it is his dream to establish a top national high school in the municipality. (PNA)
