Working for others is a privilege - PSHS SMC alumna

During the opening ceremony of Philippine Science High School - Southern Mindanao Campus’ (PSHS - SMC) 37th Foundation Day, a PSHS Batch 1999 alumna emphasized that the real essence of being a PSHS scholar is serving the nation.

According to Dr. Maria Angela Zafra, working to directly affect the lives of others, especially the underprivileged, for the greater good is an honor.

“It's also why I felt the call to service. It's a privilege to be doing work that directly influences the lives of others,” Zafra said.

Moreover, she also said that she aims to give aid and act as an echoing voice for the marginalized communities in every project that she pursues.

“Pursue projects that are meaningful. We act as a conduit so that others, especially those who are minorities, disadvantaged, and marginalized will be represented at conversations at a dinner table,” the alumna added.

Zafra graduated from Ateneo de Davao University as a Doctor of Business Administration and finished with a BS Environmental Science.

Furthermore, she later co-founded and became president of the Strategia Development Research Institute.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 | UP guests influence for marine life conservancy

Guest marine researchers, Ms. Maybelle Fortaleza and Asst. Prof. Leo Manuel Estaña, exemplified the significance and preservation of marine biodiversity across Southern Mindanao as scholars from different subcamps assembled midst the gymnasium during the STEM Camp 2025 lecture and workshop on January 30, 2025.

In the discussion titled “Studying Southern Mindanao’s Marine Biodiversity: What We Know So Far and Ways Forward” and the workshop known as the “Marine Biodiversity Database”, these discourses generally highlighted the divergent aquatic nature around the south and encouraged the protection of local marine species with the use of science and technology.

“...Dapat we do our best to investigate what’s left of our biodiversity kasi we should be turning into nature-based solutions sa ating mga modern-day na problems.”, Ms. Fortaleza explained.

Ms. Fortaleza, an esteemed researcher from the University of the Philippines, is recognized for her awarded research presentations on reef fish biology, integrative taxonomy and ecosystem services.

Asst. Prof. Estaña is a professor under the field of Applied Mathematics from the University of the Philippines, acknowledged for his contributions in research throughout the Davao Region.
