Batangueno students attend the CAT Review 2014

The UP Caballeros fulfilled the annual CAT review for the aspiring graduating high school students in Batangas. Batangueño students from different schools attended the review exam last July 26 and August 2 in different venues around Batangas. The review exam was followed by the discussion the succeeding week.  Lecturers discussed topics from the review exam. During the discussion the students asked questions for clarifications to the instructor.

The discussion about the review exam was held in the Lyceum of the Philippines (LPU) Batangas. Lecturers from the UPlink Tutorial and Review Center discussed the topics in the exam. The review exam is composed of four parts wherein subjects Math, English, Science and Filipino were tackled.

The review examination was accomplished in two dates. It is to give chance to those students who were not able to attend the first review exam.  It was held in Our Lady of Caysasay Academy (OLCA) and at the First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities (FAITH) last July 26 and at Batangas College of Arts and Sciences (BCAS) last August 2.  

At the end of the discussion, students with the best scores were awarded. The Science top scorer is Remjohn Aron H. Magtaas, Language and Reading top scorer is Janinah Rae C. Lanto, Math top scorer is Tristan G. Capule, and Ludwig Karlo V. Salazar got the overall top score. Jamer Andre Fabon San Juan and Timothy Jay S. Antonio got the overall second and third top scores, respectively. The said event was sponsored by Faber-Castell.

UP Caballeros joins Taal NHS in Brigada Eskwela 2014

The UP Caballeros took a stand in helping the Taal National Highschool in making the place more comfortable for the students. With the theme “Making our schools safer” several members went to Taal, Batangas last May 19-21.

The members together with the teachers, school’s staff, some students and volunteers gave their time and effort to ready the place for S.Y. 2014-2015. Together they work to aim a fine and safer place for the students. Walls and boards were repainted to make the place more satisfying. Scattered dried leaves and some garbage outside were cleaned up. The chairs were also arranged and dusted. Some of the members helped in making the learning environment more appropriate. They arranged the teaching materials and put some designs around it to make it more attractive for the students.

At the end of the day’s work, the experience was great. The teachers thanked us forthe time and effort exerted and the students’ smiles paid our hard work. Seeing the job accomplished is what made our day and seeing those students’ eagerness and effort to help in fixing their learning place made us and other volunteers feel that, somewhat oblige in making the learning place more comfortable for them to learn, safer for them to play and agreeable for them to stay.
