It was established as an institution in 1963 and classes started in 1964. It is located in Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. History The Philippine Science High School (PSHS) was established via Republic Act (RA) No. 3661 which was signed into law by President Diosdado Macapagal on June 22, 1963. It mandated the creation of a school which provides scholarship to students with an emphasis on mathematics and the sciences to prepare them to take on scientific careers. It is the implementation of a proposal of Leopoldo V. Torralba, a mathematics professor at the New York University who envisioned that type of school for Filipinos patterned after the Bronx High School of Science. PSHS first opened on September 5, 1964 using rented buildings alongside the Elliptical Road in Quezon City. In 1966, the PSHS requested the government for a land of its own leading to the construction a campus from 1970 to 1972 in Diliman. The Diliman campus opened in 1973. The Philippine Science High School System was formalized on February 12, 1998 via RA No. 8496 which became law during President Fidel Ramos's administration. It placed the Diliman (designated as the main) campus and three other institutions in Eastern Visayas, Western Visayas, and Southern Mindanao (now Davao Region) within the grouping. Admission Prospect students must take an entrance exam to get admitted to the PSHS called the National Competitive Examinations (NCE). A sixth grade student must belong to the top ten percent of their graduating class and have an aptitude in mathematics and science. The NCE is reputed to be competitive with only 240 slots per academic year available for the main campus as per the Year Two report of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) covering 2022 to 2025. Only 754 out 3,234 qualified applicants enrolled during that period.

Philippine Sports Commission

The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC; Filipino: Komisyon sa Isports ng Pilipinas) is an agency of the Philippine government that tackles matters concerning sports in the country. The sports agency is independent from the Philippine Olympic Committee, a privately-ran organization that enjoys autonomy from the government. History The Philippine Sports Commission was created on January 24, 1990, through Republic Act No. 6847 or "The Philippine Sports Commission Act" during the administration of then-President Corazon Aquino. Relations Philippine Olympic Committee The Philippine Sports Commission Act recognizes the role of the Philippine Olympic Committee as the national Olympic body for the International Olympic Committee. It also recognizes the autonomy of the Philippine Olympic Committee and likewise states that all National Sports Associations shall be Autonomous as well. The Act designates the Philippine Olympic Committee as primarily responsible for activities related to the country's participation in the Olympic Games (International Olympic Committee), Asian Games (Olympic Council of Asia), Southeast Asian Games (Southeast Asian Games Federation), and other international athletic competitions. Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization The PSC funds the Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization (PHI-NADO), an organization in the Philippines which tackles doping in sports in the Philippines. PHI-NADO is recognized as the national anti-doping body for the Philippines by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA). The Philippines were under threat of sanctions by WADA in early 2024 due to non-compliance of the international body's regulations. This has since been resolved. There are moves to make PHI-NADO a more independent body from the PSC. Others The Philippine Sports Commission has a partnership with the United States Sports Academy (USSA) through a Protocol of Cooperation signed in 2017. In May 2018, the PSC entered into a partnership with the USSA where the latter will provide masters and doctorate degree certifications to Filipino sports officials. The Philippine government and the USSA had a similar program in the early 1980s during the administration of then-President Ferdinand Marcos. The PSC has also relations with bodies from other countries such as Australia, Cuba, China, South Korea, Russia, and Spain to help the PSC develop sports in the country. In August 2024, Supreme Court Justice Marvic Leonen granted Yeng Guiao's 2016 mandamus nullifying the Ramos-era Pagcor memorandum. It directed the Pagcor to remit 5% of its gross income per year to PSC from 1993. The PCSO was ordered to account and refund to the PSC, 30% charity fund from the six lottery draws annually, starting 2006.

Tiong Se Academy

Tiong Se Academy(simplified Chinese: 中西学院; traditional Chinese: 中西學院; pinyin: Zhōngxī Xuéyuàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-se Ha̍k-īⁿ; abbreviation TSA) is a Chinese private school situated along Santa Elena Street in Binondo, Manila. Established on April 15, 1899 as the Anglo-Chinese School, TSA is considered as the first Chinese school in the Philippines. History Tiong Se Academy was established as the "Anglo Chinese School" on by Engracio Guinco Palanca (Tan Kang), the first Chinese consul to the Philippines. Tankang solicited funds from the Chinese community in the Philippines for the school's foundation. Established on April 15, 1899, it first held classes at the backyard of the Imperial Chinese Consulate-General. This is considered as the first Chinese school in the archipelago as the Spanish banned private Chinese education. The school moved to San Fernando Street, San Nicolas in 1899; to Salazar Street, Binondo in 1909, then Sacristía Street (modern Ongpin), Binondo in 1910, and finally to Santa Elena Street, Binondo in 1912. The school was closed in 1942 following the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II and was opened again in 1945. Due to the Filipinization of foreign schools in the country in the 1970s, the school's name was changed to "Tiong Se Academy" on February 24, 1975. This was derived from the Hokkien language transcription of "Anglo Chinese School".
