PSHS–CVC marked its biggest crossover event as FUSION and HUMANITIES collaborated to form the first Pisay Alternative Learning Activities Festival with the theme BIGKIS: Bigyang Importansya ang Ganda ng Kultura't Kalikasan, Instrumento sa Siyensiya't Sining last January 20–24, 2019 at the school's gymnasium.
The Pisay ALA Festival combined sports, curricular and cultural activities into a week of festivities that celebrated the Filipino culture.
PSHS System Deputy Executive Director, Dr. Rod Allan A. de Lara graced the occasion and in his speech, he cited the importance of ALA.
"Communication Creativity, positive thinking can't be learned from other subjects, maybe some, but it can only be learned through other activities such as ALA that is why there is ALA," De Lara stated during the opening remarks.
He also said that there are no other people that will love Filipinos except the Filipinos themselves so scholars should give back what has been given to them to help not only themselves but also their fellow Filipinos.
Mr. and Ms. Pisay candidates also strutted in their team shirts along with notable student–athletes from Ugnayan 2019 last October in Koronadal City as part of the torch lighting.
The three teams, DATU, SULTAN and LAKAN, also showcased Philippine culture in their trade fair booths from the costumes to the food for sale.
Science for the People, an event featuring the various researches of some Grades 11–12 research groups was showcased in the Multi–Purpose Gymnasium on the second day, January 21.
The said event consisted of short talks from research coordinator, Arnold Pitpitunge, Grade 12 students, Randa Ancheta and William Kevin Abran, and faculty members, Jenshiam Balgua, Gaudencio Natividad, and Genalyn Viloria about Science for the People.
"Science is a tool for development," Pitpitunge stressed in his opening speech.
"The PSHS System prepares its students for careers in science and technology for the country to attain a critical mass of professionals and leaders in Science and Technology," he added.
Elementary pupils from districts across Nueva Vizcaya and interested parents were also invited as part of the audience.
The activity unified sciences with the arts through highlighting PSHS–CVC's very own student researches.
