Even a calamity can't stop the Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS) in its quest for continues transformation.

The Office of the Executive Director (OED) through its top honcho Dr. Larry L. Cabatic led all the campuses in the Physical and Financial Planning Workshop for 2016 and Budget Preparation for 2017 at Baguio City, October 19–23, 2015.

Participants have to go through the brunt and ravages of typhoon Lando to partake in the planning and workshops.

In fact, the delegates of PSHS–Cagayan Valley Campus headed by Dr. Salvador B. Romo came in late because of impassable roads in Sta. Fe and Benguet–Nueva Vizcaya route due to torrential rains that caused landslides.

Enthemed "Continuing Transformation", the activity was participated by campus director chiefs of the Finance and Administrative Division (FAD), Curriculum and Instruction Services Division (CISD) and Student Services Division (SSD), budget officers and accountants of the Philippine Science High School System, respectively.

Deputy Executive Director Dr. Rod Allan De Lara, presented the accomplishments, status of fund utilization, infrastructure road map in relation to K to 12.

He also presented the draft of rationalization plan for the employees of PSHS System in the coming years.

Furthermore, a workshop by cluster was also conducted to discuss accomplishments, concerns, fund utilization and update.
