Palawan State University

[renwock]

Am I the only student of Palawan State University here in pex?

[spanishsardine]

baka ehehehe. bakit ka pala kumuha ng petroleum engineering at hinde na lang chem eng? may mga prof ka ba diyan na nag work sa refinery, petrochem or any oil and gas industry?

[doggy]

@renwock
dyan lang may petroleum engineering right? ok ba *** program niyo dyan? im planning to shift and transfer school.

Hmm.. dun kasi sa bansa na minsan kong tinirahan, Petroleum Engineers mostly ang hanap nila. Yan din pangarap ng mom ko para sa akin, so I left Mapua for Palawan State University's Petroleum Engineering program.

Uh, professors wala, pero un unang batch (Petroleum Engineering in PSU started only 1995) na graduates na nag-talk sa seminar namin last semester, lahat nasa oil industry (in Singapore, Qatar and Saudi ata). Ikaw, sa oil company ka na diba? Chem Engr ng Mapua?

as of June this year, Batangas State University also started offering BS Petroleum Engineering. The professors there are mostly graduates of Palawan State University though. Petroleum Engineering is PSU's flagship course, so they're more strict in terms of admission to the program. I was able to have conversation with one of our professors while trekking to Underground River and he mentioned that BSU's Petroleum Engineering program isn't much established yet if compared to PSU, as he was a former faculty there.

From what school ka? Uh, as of this second semester, I have two more classmates from Mapua who just transferred here in Palawan to pursue Petroleum Engineering, too. I've met few more Mapuans and me thinks it's about time to put up an organization "ex-Cardinals - PSU Chapter"

DLSU. 1 more year to graduate. ayoko ko kasi ng course ko now. engineering din though

whats petroleum engineering?

[pyropsycho]

That 8th placer used to be my practice teacher in Math. Cool!

I got admitted to Petroleum Engineering this year. Didn't pursue, though. A lot from my batch (LHS09) are taking up PetEng, too. I miss PSU. Naks.

Tapusin mo na lang yan bro. Ako naman, incoming third year Materials Science Engineering student in Mapua Intramuros (supposedly 3rd year, pero nadelay ) dapat, batch 2006 ako eh, pero I chose to transfer na lang din. Are you interested in pursuing Petroleum Engineering, too? Bali-balita dati, sa Japoy Lizarde (? tama ba name) magtatransfer na din sa PSU Pet Eng'g from DLSU din. Di ko nakikita naman.

I've met few PSU LHS students already. Do you know Chasen? Bilib ako sa LHS ng PSU kasi matatalino sa bulletin board ninyo, UP Ateneo Mapua and UA&P ang nakapost na paper ad as of now.

Yep, I know her. Like, she's two years ahead of me. Hey, hindi lahat matatalino. Gone are the glory days of PSU LHS. Trust me. Hehe. The school wasn't able to land in the Top 3 places of this year's Pautakan by UP Palawenos, which is sad for a defending champion.

You must see the bulletin board come January. Entrance test results eh. Last year, we only had one passer for Ateneo, while ten for UP.

How did this year's University Day turn out?

Yeah, she's in 3rd year now. So if not PSU LHS, which HS is making its name in Palawan? Hope?

So, you're one of those 10 who passed?

by the way, what's UP Palawenos? I Heard PSU is Palawan's UP, something like that. Care to expound? UP Open University is housed in PSU's main building so I suppose, that's what they mean?

University Day? I did not participate in any of the activities, so I was not able to watch any of those.

[spanishsardine]

Mech eng me. So far wala pa me nakakasalubong na petroleum engineer. usually chem eng, materials, mechnical at electrical pa lang. Try ko kaya magturo sa batangas state university. malapit lang kasi yun sa pinagtratrabahuan ko ehehe

[pyropsycho]

Yeah, I think it's Hope. I hope LHS will get back to where it has been before.

Yep, I'm one of the 10. Haha.

UP Palawenos is a UP Diliman-based org for, of course, Palawenos. And yes, PSU is one of the testing centers of UP Open U. Students enrolled in UPOU can take their exams at PSU.

I can barely remember anything about last year's University Day. Well, you should try participating in the Foundation Week (?) instead. Last year, there was a ferris wheel. Yun eh. Haha.

I miss PSU-City Hall-Bayan. Hahaha

taga Batangas ka pala sir. May kaklase ako na transferee from BSU, eh nagulat siya bigla nag-open ang Petroleum Engineering dun, napa-dayo pa tuloy siya.

kaya siguro ganun, kasi less that 100 pa lang ata ang graduate ng PSU Petroleum Engineering program. Most of these graduates go abroad, kaya siguro wala ka pa nameet na Petroleum Engineer.

I see. It was just last week when we were enrolling for second semester when I saw that "UP Open University" room near the cashier.

The Foundation Week and University Day? I only remember Intramurals. do they differ? hehe..

I am enjoying the multi cabs here in Palawan. They're cute. While you miss Palawan, me on the other hand, misses Manila. I plan to go back there this coming Christmas break. I miss KFC, McDonalds and Wendy's! haha.. We find Itoy's a nice alternative to that of Manila's coffee shops, too.

[pyropsycho]

^ Foundation Week is during the first week of March. It's the celebration for the foundation (of course) of the University as Palawan Teacher's College way back then in 1972. This is when elementary and high school students are forced to dance to please the President. Hahahaha! Eto na naman ako. University Day, on the other hand, marks the conversion of Palawan State College into a university. I think this year's the 13th or 14th. Not sure.

I can't help but to miss KFC and McDonald's whenever I get back home, too. Jollibee at Chowking lang kasi di ba?lol Itoy's is a good one, but not the Starbucks-type. I have frequented it just last sembreak. Don't know why. Haha.

Whoa, talaga you think it's hope na leading now?
haha.

back some years ago, it was really neck and neck between Hope, Science High and PSU-LHS.

Parang every competition ata nagpapalit palit lang ng winner.

I always watch out for Postre of Science High back then. Bobit and Angel for PSU-LHS. great competitors.

I would probably rank my year as this. (number of competions won)
1. Science High
2. PSU-LHS
3. HOPE

but come NCAE time, we came on top of Palawan. haha, argh,

*High School days.


Most of the good ones I know of PSU-LHS section 'A' batch is in UP-Las Banos, UP-D and I think angel was the only one in UP-m. The thing lang kasi sa PSU-LHS is that they expanded their section to 3 which I think was for monetary purposes lang, hence having extremes of really good ones, section A and the so-so ones, section C.

In our batch, I think only 13 passed the UPCAT.
*originally it was 12 but 1 got through by a reconsideration (now in UP manila), 13 I think is a pretty high percentage considering that our batch is only 43 and about 6 or 7 did not even took it.

Only 4 pursued UP, UP is not really commercialized enough in our school. I think some would only take it for the bragging rights of passing the UPCAT, the glitz and glamor of it all.

Oh I see.. So I have yet to experience the Foundatio Week of PSU. Even this year's intramurals (?), students were forced to dance, only those with PE subjects though.

Yeah, it's still Jollibee, Chowking and Shakey's. I have tried almost all the restaurants in Puerto Princesa (Ka Lui's, Kinabuchs, Macoy's and etc), but I still miss KFC, McDonald's and Wendy's! haha.. I find Itoy's a good alternative to expensive coffee shops there in Manila. It's where me and my Mapuan friends go whenever we feel like we want to be in a Manila-ish place.

I shall update you guys if ever I hear news regarding Hope and PSU LHS' academic rivalry. I say, if I were to choose a high school (kung balik HS, let us say), I'd have a hard time choosing which school to go. Maybe I'm being biased to PSU LHS because I'm in PSU now, but I am amazed that there are lots of these schools' graduates who go to Manila to pursue college.

I used to have a dorm mate in Manila (he's from Palawan National High School, batch 2008) and he's doing really good in his academic life in Mapua. He's even better than his friend (from PSU LHS, also batch 2008 in Mapua) when it comes to schooling. I don't mean to judge people by mental capabilities but it's just my observation as this PNS graduate is able to achieve 1.++ grades in his Math subjects. That's something unusual in my previous school, I daresay. He's really awesome.

PSU-LHS used to have two sections only. I think it's inevitable naman to expand since it's a state university-run, hence, open for public. What made the situation worse is the heterogeneous type of sectioning the students. It was implemented a couple of years ago lang (started in my third year batch), and I must say in my batch, maraming na-BI (bad influence). Thus, academically, wala na.

Another field I find Hope to be excelling ahead of LHS is sports. AFAIK, consistent ang training ng varsity nila. Eh sa PSU-LHS kasi, iilan lang talaga ang players, tapos karamihan pinulot lang just for the sake of completing the team or may mga nag-volunteer kahit di naman talaga player, just to get exempted from PE and from classes a few days before the City Meet.

Say, 13 out of 43 gives your batch a relatively high percentage of 30%. On the other hand, my batch of 121 with only 12 UPCAT passers gives us a rate of 9%, which is alarming because almost everyone took the entrance exam. Heck, am I bashing my school much? Hahaha.

If I were to rank my year, it'd be:
1. PSU-LHS
2. PNS-SSC
3. Hope

I based it also on the number of competitions won like UP Pautakan, Geo Bee, Division/Regional/National Schools Press Conference, Rotary Club's Voice of the Youth, PALECO Quiz Bee, NCAE, etc.

We had two students who got percentile ranks of 99+ in NCAE '09, and almost everyone got percentile ranks not lower than 90.

That's something unusual in my previous school, I daresay. He's really awesome.

I think it's the norm to pursue college in Manila (or in other places) in my school, lalo na sa mga nasa PSU na since kindergarten (ehem). UP Diliman, UP Los Banos, UP Baguio, UP Visayas, Ateneo, La Salle, UST, FEU, Silliman, CEU, and Mapua are the colleges/universities that majority in my batch matriculated in. Siguro more or less 40 opted to go to college outside Palawan.

BTW, in this year's PSU entrance test, 7 out of the top 10 came from PSU-LHS. Ang nakakagulat pa dito ay 'yung mga average lang ang performance sa academics ang karamihan, at nagkatabi-tabi lang noong nag-take.
