Alumni partner with Pisay-SMC, extend helping hands amid COVID-19
A number of alumni readily extended helping hands especially upon knowing that the Philippine Science High School Southern Mindanao Campus’ own PPE production team was calling for donations for materials needed in the making of face shield and intubation box.
The PSHS-SMC Alumni Association even served as channels where donors put in money for the procurement of additional materials for PPE making. Indeed, considerable amount of monetary assistance poured in.
“Yes, for those who inquired, we made them deposit their donations via the bank account of Philippine Science High School – SMC Alumni Association in Sterling Bank of Asia,” Mr. Michael Casas, the Alumni President, relayed via Fb messenger.

Pisay-SMC heeds call for PPE production for front liners; team of personnel steps up to man fabrication
“If frontliners will not be protected, then who will protect us?”
Thus was the drive that pushed Engr. Michael Nalitan, Art, Drafting, and Technology (ADTech) Teacher and head of the Philippine Science High School Southern Mindanao Campus Fabrication Laboratory to leave the safety of his home everyday despite the community quarantine imposed by the City Government of Davao to report to the campus and labor on making face shields and intubation boxes staring last March 23, 2020.
“I hope we can sustain as the demands for personal protective equipment (PPEs) are overwhelming. Thank God I have some help too from my fellow Pisay-SMC employees. Plus, there is constant communication from among the ADTech and DMT faculty across the different campuses under the Pisay system,” Engineer Nalitan indirectly said on his Facebook post dated March 24, 2020.
Together with Engr. Nalitan is Mr. Bernilo Alcuizar, Adminstrative Aide IV, who despite being a senior citizen still extended his help in in the 3-D machine production, in manual cutting of the materials, in setting up the shields, in assembling of the intubation box, and in packing the sets ready for delivery and shipping to different hospitals, quarantine facilities, and health centers within and outside of Davao City. Along with them is Mr. Ronald Gica, a Mathematics teacher of the campus, who likewise sacrificed his time and opportunity to stay home for the desire to protect as many medical front liners. Since March 30, 2020, Physics Teacher Engr. Cromwell Castillo and former ADtech Teacher Engr. Ace Lonzaga also volunteered to be part of the work force.
