ALABEL, Sarangani (April 17, 2008) – The Environmental Conservation and Protection Center (ECPC) of Sarangani has extended job trainings to students from the Philippine Science High School (PSHS).
"We want to know more about science and learn how to work in a real laboratory," team leader Joshua Dominisac said.
His batch is composed of seven science scholars who are incoming 4th year students of PSHS-Southern Mindanao based in Davao City.
Through a memorandum of agreement, the Capitol-based ECPC and PSHS agreed to foster a training environment based on discipline and output.
The training is part of ECPC's community extension program as the students comply their 20-day Summer Science Internship Program (SSIP).
"We also want to develop teamwork since we have been taught in school to do our assignment in groups," 16-year old Czar Quesada said.
For her part, 15-year old trainee Marielle Olegario wants to "learn more about laboratory techniques because the ECPC has modern laboratory equipment for us to use."
ECPC executive director Jelyn Apura disclosed that last year, a P22-million modern equipment to be used for wastewater analysis and water testing of Sarangani Bay upgraded the center's facilities.
The equipment upgrade enabled ECPC "to cater to more services and wider range of parameters to clienteles."
ECPC's equipment on food analysis can accommodate the 409 food industries in Region XII and tuna producing companies in nearby General Santos City.
The PSHS in Mintal, Davao City is a Department Of Science and Technology-assisted secondary school that provides scholarships to deserving students and aims to produce future Filipino scientists. (SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE/RGP)
