Happy Anniversary to Philippine Science High School

Happy Anniversary!

PSHS was established in 1964 and 1969 saw the first graduates of the Philippine Science High School.

My cousin (his mom and my dad are siblings), Rene Ongchangco Lorenzana (+) was among the first graduates.  my lolo Sixto (+) was so proud of him. 

my mom thought that her children was at least just as bright as he was and she set about researching how to get into the school for the gifted.  so. she succeeded with me as i am also a graduate of the Philippine Science High School, with honors yet. 

my 2 siblings followed me. 

i attended the reunion tonight - and i was with these batchmates - sorted alpha by first names
