“Nadevelop ang passion for work and dahil doon nainspire ako na kailangan kong magtouch din ng lives of other people, and as the head of PSHS-SRC, to inspire the faculty and staff and perhaps, also the students.” 

This was the motivation of Philippine Science High School - SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus (PSHS-SRC) Director Dr. Chuchi P. Garganera, Ph.D., as she joins the school for six more years with her reappointment as the campus director.

In an interview with Garganera on November 6 regarding her reappointment as director of PSHS-SRC, she discussed her inspiration to continue serving the school, learnings from the past six years, her plans for her second term, and her message to the scholars.

“For my second term, I am also inspired by the accomplishments of the students,” said Garganera. “SRC is a very young campus but we have done so much,” she added.

Moreover, in regards to her plans for the next six years, Garganera talked about requesting for additional lots of land to build more facilities like a laboratory for emerging technology and a demonstration farm, saying that it is important because agriculture is the niche of the campus.

Garganera also discussed raising the rank of the campus in the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) and increasing the participation of the scholars in international events and competitions.

“We would like to raise the ranking sa UPCAT. It may be an ambitious plan pero kailangan natin gawin,” she said.

Furthermore, Garganera also shared her learnings from the past six years in her personal and professional life, saying that she found it difficult to handle people and that even if you are the head of office, you have to learn to understand your people.

“In my six years, the most important things that I have learned are 2 things: number one is to have faith, always, in God and; number two, be brave, to be courageous because you accepted a challenge,” said Garganera.

“Accept the fact that it's true what they said, that it’s lonely at the top,” she added as a third learning.
