Sayans - II

I can feel  -ber coming.

and with it,  the Anniversary of the Philippine Science High School comes to mind

I have the new T-shirt.  The one with the words of the Song, or the Science Hymn.
When my batchmates and I graduated from Sayans, we sang the this one -

Cora Andres, now Cora Andres-Bisda  did the honors and played the piano for all of us


ORIGINAL ENGLISH VERSION
BY MARIO TAQUIWALO
Philippine Science High
Thou stands above with thy thoughts that lift
And fit all thy sons with wings
To lend us flight in the sowing of our gifts
Oh, Philippine Science High,
Thy wisdom arms our youth
As we reach for our dreams, as we strive for our goals
As we seach for the untarnished truth
Philippine Science High,
The PSHS in us will grow
And go as we wander o’er
The crests and troughs of the sea of life that flows
Oh Philippine Science High
Thy light our beacon be
In our path through the world, in our fight for the right
In pursuit of a glorious thee


Our Batch Song

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we don*t need another mountain,

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love,

it*s the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow,

there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love sweet love,

its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.

what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,

is love (is love) sweet love
what the world ( oh oh) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love

I was at the Philippine Science High School when there was only one campus and it was  the Diliman campus at Agham Road, Quezon City where i hope it will remain til the world ends

one does not move a Harvard or any Ivy League school for any reason, does it?
and the campus has produced many talented individuals ......
Jimmy, my classmate, calls it simply sentimental
that is partly true, but sentiment and nostalgia is powerful
and for many logical reasons, my friend Roselmo Doval-Santos can articulate for me
