Eight Grade 10 students from the Applied Sciences and Engineering (AppSci) track were picked for the cultural student exchange program of Saijyo Super Science High School (SSSHS).

Ernest Arceo, David De Layola, James Ecito, Gian Garcia, Urielle Lilang, RD Novilla, Julia Reyes, and Nica Sampan will travel to Hiroshima, Japan with student representatives from UP Rural High on March 9-20.

They are expected to attend classes and a science fair and go on a city tour with their Japanese buddy.

SSSHS selected students from the AppSci track as it covers the school’s specialization—Science, Technology, and Mathematics.

The Japanese representatives from SSSHS visited UPIS last October 2015 and stayed for a week here in the Philippines.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the UPIS students that everyone will grab if given the chance. “Excited siyempre kasi new experience,” Reyes shared when asked how she felt when she was chosen.

It has been two years since the first time UPIS did a student exchange program, where 20 UPIS students were sent to Sendai Nikka High School also in Japan. / by Gelleen Esposo, Chesca Santiago
