The PSHS Alumni Association and the PSHS Foundation have joined hands with the PSHS Class of 1982 to set up the Natatanging Guro Endowment Fund. They envision the fund (targeted at P100mn in 3 years) to generate income that would support awards for teaching excellence; provide grants for teachers to pursue masters' and doctoral studies; and facilitate faculty exchange programs with leading educational institutions globally, among others.
To raise the initial funding for the Natatanging Guro project, the PSHSAA, PSHS Foundation and PSHS Class of 1982 have launched two events, for which we would like to get your support:
Bravissimo! A Tribute to Excellence, a concert by the world-renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers, on December 18, 2007, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Ticket prices are available at: Orchestra Center P 2,000 ($50 for US based) Orchestra Left / Right P 1,500 ($37.5) Balcony 1 Center P 750 ($18.75) Balcony 1 Left / Right P 600 ($15) Balcony 2 Center P 400 ($10) Balcony 2 Left / Right P 300 ($7.5)
Even though you may not be able to attend in person, you can still demonstrate your support by purchasing 'Sponsor-a-Teacher' tickets.

I'll be forever thanking Rockstar:INXS for introducing to the world Marty Casey. Because of that show, everyone got to know about his awesome Chicago band Lovehammers. And it's a really nice thing Marty didn't win, because his band got him back, and now they have a great debut album out.
As for Chris Daughtry, who I loved on American Idol, I haven't heard his new songs yet. I would've loved to hear more new stuff from his former band, Absent Element, though.
So back to Marty Casey. Got this from the mailing list newsletter. They've got a Christmas song out, and the vid features Suzie McNeil from Rockstar:INXS. Ang cute nilang dalawa hehe.
Aside from occasionally shooting people and things, and increasing damage to her eardrums on a daily basis, The Mighty Dacs also teaches biology to adolescent geniuses along Agham Road in Quezon City.
