Through this feat, these CalScians underscored the importance of social awareness, amplifying the youth's important role in nation building.

Calamba City Science Integrated School demonstrated unparalleled intellectual depth as they emerged as the Grand Champion of the Ethics Bowl during TALASTASAN 2026, held last February 7. This 1st nationwide high school event of UP Kabataang Pilosopo Tasyo (UP KAPITAS), themed “Paglinang ng Dunong Para sa Pilosopiyang Pilipino at Kamalayang Pambansa,” brought together more than 40 schools at Palma Hall, University of the Philippines Diliman.

An Ethics Bowl involves a dialogue where competing teams construct their position on a certain moral and social problem that they will then present and defend to the panel. It involves a collaborative exchange and reasoned debate. The CCSIS team proved their excellence in this challenge through three rigorous rounds, culminating in a live final session where they bested the sharpest young minds in the country.

The winning team, guided by their dedicated coach, Sir Percy Roy P. Roa, showcased the perfect balance of logical depth, social relevance, and ethical wisdom: Gabriel Fonacier, Ceana Cunanan, Denise Perez, Shanleymai Maunahan, and Christian Dequit.

By dominating this premier philosophical stage, these students have shown that CalScians possess not only technical brilliance but also the critical wisdom needed to lead our nation toward a brighter future.

Perhaps some things are still 𝘵𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵—a failure, regret, or heartbreak. These "𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒇'𝒔" are what we call a 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙤, however, regardless of what we call them, they have an undeniable hold on us.

As the first half of the academic year concludes, it’s sad to think that we might not be with the same set of people again. That maybe the reality we’ve been living in for the past months and months to come will just be 𝑎 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑡. But the bond lives on through the memories we’ll hold onto the next chapters of our lives. 👥🌸

Everything we’ve experienced—the good and the bad—are all part of our 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜. They are like bricks that, although don’t seem like much individually, they make something astounding, they make something whole—𝒖𝒔. ✨
