A Call for Unity

From the official Facebook page NO TO THE RENAMING OF MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL

Dear fellow MaSci-Alumni,

In a meeting last 22 August 2009, the Task Force MaSci (on behalf of the School) and the MaSci Foundation (on behalf of the alumni) have agreed that the stakeholders of the MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL should unify and synchronize our actions in addressing the issue re: renaming of MaSci to “President Corazon C. Aquino Science High School” by the City of Manila, and by doing so:

- we shall uphold an approach that is “issue-based” rather than “dealing with personalities”;

- we shall maintain our stand, based on facts and MaSci’s reasonable and valid concerns;

-we should find wisdom in observing “respect and sobriety” faced with situations when dealing with the issue and the people concerned, thereby, not giving them any reasons “not to hear and accommodate our concerns fairly”;

-we must be aware and vigilant that the issue is not dragged by politicians into their own personal agenda. At some point, where we might find it unavoidable, let us maintain the dignity of the name of MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL, by way of accepting help, yet remaining to be “issue-based” and apolitical;

-only those efforts consulted with and sanctioned by the MaSci Foundation with the Task Force MaSci shall be considered the official move of the MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL in dealing with the issue.

The stakeholders of the MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL will take a firm stand to defend its name, as we maintain our high regard and respect to our late former President Corazon C. Aquino.

We feel confident that the family of the late President Aquino and the Filipino People will understand our plight.

We are looking forward to everyone’s cooperation and support.

GOD BLESS MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL !

NOTE:
The leadership of the MaSci Foundation,Task Force MaSci, School Admin and the Student Government of MaSci will attend a meeting today to discuss the issue with DepEd-Manila . We’ll keep everyone posted.
