BLOW FISH
PhotobucketRoland, as the web designer, is in charge of the overall blog layout. He is a certified techie who is an expert in photos and videos. He shares his knowledge and also gives tips to the technical staff for our site’s improvement. As the team leader, the blog is his no. 1 priority in his schedule.

 “I’m glad that my team members complied with the deadlines for tasks given to them.”







Shawn Michael M. Lamod 
aka “Shawnee”, 4-Leitmotif
WHALE SHARK
PhotobucketShawn has very nice ideas which the whole team agrees with oftentimes. Since he is in charge of the documentation, the camera and the tripod are his everyday buddies. He is also very critical of details as our super video editor.

“It’s ‘flash drive’, not ‘USB’.”








Danica Mae T. Abante 
 aka “Danix”, 4-Tutti
GUPPY
PhotobucketBeneath her innocent look is the special talent for video editing. Danix is also amazingly good in suggesting colors and designs for the blog layout. She is very direct when giving criticisms about someone’s work so she’s the one to consult when we need judgments.

Marielle J. Villareal 
aka “Mayie”, 4-Letmotif
FIGHTING FISH
PhotobucketAs head researcher, she takes care of every little piece of information we gather. Whether it’s on paper or a softcopy, you can count on her organizing skills. She keeps everything; from drafts, to notes, to survey forms and to research folders. Not only that, Mayie also backs up as interviewer.

 “All the researching almost made me think fish and dream fish.”







Deewa G. Dela Cruz 
aka “Diiw”, 4- Rococo
CATFISH
PhotobucketDeewa is our on-the-go scriptwriter and researcher. She's the one who gives the work assignments and checks them if they have been finished at the end of the day. She is especially focused when it comes to write-ups so it’s not a good idea to disturb her when she’s in the mood for writing. We all suspect her for being in love with her paper and pen.

“I never expected it would be this hard but the weariness paves off eventually. The adventures are unforgettable.”





Rochelle B. Bordado 
aka “Roxi”, 4- Scherzo
GOLD FISH
PhotobucketSpeaking and writing are Roxi’s forte that’s why she is our main interviewer. She’s also the one to call for help when anyone of the team needs a bang in his/her work. In addition, Roxi is an asset of the team given that her family has many connections with different agencies which are useful for our study.

“My imaginations go wild at times. The sad point is I have difficulty in putting them into concrete things.”






Dante O. Baldoza Jr.
aka “Tatan”, 4- Leitmotif
Photobucket 


MANTA RAY
He’s part technical, part cameraman, part writer, in short, he is a well-rounded member.

“Call me and I’ll be there. I never really get tired of writing, encoding, capturing pictures, and assisting anyone. I prefer to be the backstage hand of the team.”














Janelle S. Garcia 
aka “Jiji”, 4- Tutti
CLOWN FISH
PhotobucketBeing one of the write-ups staff, Janelle is the one who composes communication letters for key departments, institutes, and other significant contacts. She has the eye for noticing simple language errors. Aside from that, doing the interviews is part of her job, too.

“Long hours of sitting and thinking? That’s fine with me.”

Coaches

Alicia C. Naag 
aka “Ma’am Alice”
ROYAL GRAMMA
 Ma’am Alice is the coach any team would ask for. She is an expert in Science and is effortless when it comes to communicating. Ma’am has the skills in research which she passes on to us, student members.

“We, teachers, are not here to walk the paths for you, students. We are here as your guides. And we are here to draw out those hidden talents inside you.”








PhotobucketMarissa P. Esmeralda 
aka “Ma’am Mariss”
BUTTERFLY FISH
 There was not a day that Ma’am Mariss didn’t check the progress of the write-ups. Along with this, she helps the students improve them. Like Ma’am Alice, Ma’am Mariss goes along with the students in their data collection.

“Supervising the children is a challenge but we never lost confidence in their abilities.”








Photobucket Moderator

Joretze S. Carandang 
aka “Ma’am Jo”
The Perfectionist
 This lady is never contented with any mediocre work. She wants everything to be perfect from the write-ups to the videos. She wouldn’t take ‘maybe’ or ‘probably’ for an answer. Ma’am Jo is also the most powerful person in the computer laboratory. She is our favorite critic.


“Every small detail counts.”






School Principal




Photobucket
Sulpicio C. Alferez III 
aka “Sir Alferez”
Mr. Right
Sir is the man behind every DPSA team in our school. He supports us with words of wisdom. Everyone of us knows the power of his one strike signature. If he says no, then it’s final. If he says yes, be grateful. This man may be serious but deep inside him is a big heart for his students.

“Excellence is what our school stands for that’s why I support the children’s desire to win the competition.”
