In a unified push for science and innovation, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) affirmed their commitment to collaborate during the appointment ceremony of the new campus directors of the Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS) on Thursday.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara and Science and Technology Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. underscored the importance of working together to advance science education and cultivate the next generation of scientists and innovators.

âWe are fully committed to working together. One thing we discovered nandoon sa kanta ninyo yung ang siyensiya ang sandigan ng maunlad na bayan. Thatâs the bottomline here,â Secretary Angara said, referring to the DOST Hymn.
Sec. Angara also underscored DOSTâs mandates, as he helped the agency secure additional budget for its facilities and operations.
âDati supporter niyo po ako sa Senado at ngayon consider me one of your fans. Maraming salamat and congratulations. Looking forward to the inspired leadership of our three campus directors under our great Secretary Rene,â he said.
Secretary Solidum, meanwhile, said that the team-up with DepEd is a significant step in strengthening the countryâs science, technology, and innovation foundation.
âWe are very happy with the appointment of former Senator, now DepEd Secretary Sonny Angara, because we believe that the success of science, technology, and innovation really lies in our educational system starting from our youth,â Secretary Solidum said.
âWe have been discussing on how we can work together with them and help them as well in making sure that our reach would go beyond the Philippine Science High School system,â he added.
The ceremony celebrated the appointment of three campus directors: Dr. Rod Allan A. De Lara (PSHS – Main Campus), Dr. Myrna B. Libutaque (PSHS – Western Visayas Campus), and Dr. Mary Grace A. Navarro (PSHS – Ilocos Region Campus). Both secretaries acknowledged their pivotal role in shaping young minds to contribute to the nationâs scientific progress.
