YES-O Quezonians

Today, December 30, we commemorate Rizal Day as the YES-O Club pays tribute to the life, works, and enduring legacy of our national hero, Dr. José Rizal. Inspired by his deep love for nature and country, we are reminded of our shared responsibility to protect and care for the environment.

Joined by Quezonian teachers and scouts, this gathering reflects our commitment to patriotism, service, and environmental stewardship that Rizal continues to inspire in all of us.

Youth Leaders in Training

The Quezonians YES-O Officers—President Jodie, Vice President Shanzie, and Secretary Christman—together with the Quezonians BKD Officers, actively participated in the Capacity Development for Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) and Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) Student Leaders held at Manila Science High School on December 15, 2025.

The activity aimed to strengthen youth leadership, deepen environmental awareness, and promote proactive involvement in advocacies against illegal drugs. Through engaging discussions, workshops, and collaborative activities, the student leaders enhanced their skills in leadership, teamwork, and responsible decision-making. This meaningful experience empowered the participants to become more effective advocates and role models within the school and the wider community.

MLQHS Students Clinch Regional Championship in Nestlé Wellness Sarap Sustansya Cook-Off

Three students Rheinna Angela Mae Paulino, Shaira Nerizon, and Princes Tamara Serrano, brought pride and honor to their school after emerging as Regional Champions in the Nestlé Wellness Sarap Sustansya Cook-Off 2025–2026, sponsored by MAGGI and Nestlé Philippines.

The winning team, under the guidance of their dedicated teacher-coach, Merben Barredo, showcased exceptional culinary skills, creativity, and teamwork while promoting the importance of nutritious and balanced meals. Competing against top contenders from different schools in the region, the students impressed the judges with both taste and presentation, anchored on the theme of healthy cooking.

Their victory highlights not only their talent in the kitchen but also their strong commitment to nutrition advocacy among the youth. The school community expressed pride in the team’s achievement, recognizing their success as a testament to hard work, discipline, and effective mentorship.

The regional championship serves as a stepping stone for greater opportunities as the students continue to hone their skills and represent the school in the national competition happening on February next year.

CONGRATULATIONS, QUEZONIANS!
