TAGUIG TEACHER TOPS NATIONAL IT QUIZ BEE

Another teacher bags 4^th place

A teacher from a Taguig public high school emerged as the grand champion in the recently concluded grand finals of the 6^th PLDT myDSL Broadband National Quiz Bee Competition held in Mandaluyong City.

First place winner Marneli Dianito is a technology teacher from Senator Renato “Companero” Cayetano Memorial Science and Technology High School (SRCC-MSTHS). She won P30,000, while her school also won three units of personal computer and a free subscription of PLDT myDSL Internet and Wi-Fi connection.

Another teacher, Joana Feliza, who represented Taguig Science High School, bagged the fourth place in the competition and won P15,000.

Mayor Lani Cayetano congratulated the winners, saying this only showed that Taguig public school teachers are among the best in providing IT instruction to students.

“We are very proud to have them as mentors in our schools here in Taguig because it only shows how brilliant they are not just in the classroom but also in pitting their skills against their colleagues in a nationwide competition,” said Mayor Lani.

Atty. Darwin Icay, Atty. Darwin Icay, Chief of the Public Information Office and Mayor Cayetano’s spokesperson, said this achievement could also be attributed to the high priority the current administration is putting on providing excellent educational services for the people of Taguig.

“The city government, under the leadership of Mayor Lani, will continue providing appropriate support to our public schools to ensure our youth get the best education possible,” Atty. Icay said.

Leonardo Bruno of T. Paez Elementary School in Pasay City won second place and took home P25,000 while Cristian Rogelio of Lucena City National High School in Quezon province won third place with P20,000.

Dianito started as a volunteer teacher at the SRCC-MSTHS five years ago but was eventually given a permanent teacher status after a year of voluntary teaching. She was also designated to coach the school’s Robotics Team, a finalist in the 2007 Philippine National Robotics Competition.

The contest, held in coordination with the Department of Education, was started by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company last September 2011, as part of its Infoteach Outreach Program which provided free computer training program to public school students and teachers nationwide.

TAGALOG VERSION:

Itinanghal bilang kampeon ang isang titser ng Taguig public high school sa grand finals ng 6^th PLDT myDSL National Quiz Bee Competition na idinaos kamakailan sa Mandaluyong City.

Si Marneli Dianito, isang technology teacher ng Senator Renato “Companero” Cayetano Memorial Science and Technology high School (SRCC-MSTHS) ang nanguna sa paligsahan. Siya ay nagwagi ng P30,000 habang ang paaralan naman na kanyang kinatawan ay nanalo ng 3 personal computer at libreng subscription ng PLDT myDSL Internet at Wi-Fi connection.

Isa pang guro ng Taguig public school , si Joana Feliza  na kumatawan sa Taguig Science High School ay pumang-apat sa kompetisyon at nagwagi ng P15,000.

Kinilala ni Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano ang natataning tagumpay ng dalawang guro.

Ito aniya, ay nagpapakita lamang na ang mga guro sa Taguig ay kabilang sa mga pinakamagaling pagdating sa pagtuturo sa larangan ng IT (o Information Technology).

“Ipinagmamalaki namin na sila ay mga guro sa ating mga paaralan sa Taguig dahil  ipinapakita nito na hindi lamang sila mahuhusay sa loob ng silid-aralan kundi sa pakikipagtagisan ng talino sa ibang mga guro na nakaharap nila sa naturang kompetisyon,” pahayag ni Mayor Lani.

Idinagdag naman ni Atty. Darwin Icay, hepe ng Public Information Office at spokesperson ni Mayor Lani, na ang tagumpay na ito ng kanilang mga guro ay bunga na rin ng mataas na prayoridad na ibinibigay ng pamahalaang lungsod sa pagbibigay ng magandang edukasyon sa mga mamamayan ng Taguig.

“Sa ilalim po ng pamahahala ni Mayor Lani, makatitiyak ng patuloy na suporta sa ating mga pampublikong paaralan para mabigyan natin ng mataas na kalidad ng edukasyon ang ating mga kabataan,” ani Atty. Icay.

Si Leonardo Bruno ng T. Paez Elementary School ng Pasay City ang pumangalawa sa kompetisyon at nagwagi ng P25,000 habang si  Cristian Rogelio ng Lucena City National High School sa lalawigan ng Quezon ang nasa ikatlong pwesto at nagwagi ng P20,000.

Ang tinanghal na kampeon na si Dianito ay nagsimula bilang volunteer teacher sa SRCC-MSTHS limang taon na ang nakalilipas. Matapos lamang ang isang taon ay naging permanente na siyang guro. Si Dianito rin ay naitalagang coach ng kanilang robotics team na kabilang sa mga finalist noong 2007 Philippine National Robotics Competition.

Ang torneyo na unang sinimulan ng PLDT noong Setyembre ng nagdaang taon ay bahagi ng Infoteach Outreach Program na nagbibigay ng libreng computer training program para sa mga estudyante at guro sa mga pampublikong paaralan.
