The First One-Stop Computer Shop in San Pablo – MSC Data Exchange

On its 4th anniversary on December 4, 1993, MSC established the MSC Data Exchange Co. a one-stop-computer-shop. It was probably the first company in San Pablo City to offer customized computer software. There were very few programmers in the city during those days but MSC had some of the best.

Doubling and Halving When Buying T-Shirts

By Ike PrudenteDuring the Philippine Science High School’s ANAC I (A National Alumni Convention I) where I represented Pisay Dos (Batch ’70) I saw a booth selling Pisay T-Shirts. I was attracted to a nice red colored shirt. So I thought of buying one for myself. But then, I thought of my 5 children who are all Pisay alumni, Rose (class of 1990), Toto (class of 1992), Tata (class of 1995), Lelay (class of 1997) and Nica (class of 1999). I selected 5 more to fit their sizes. Oh, I almost forgot Toto’s wife Rheea, who is his batchmate. And so I chose another shirt for her.

The first batch of MSC High School – class 1998

In this issue, we feature the first batch of graduates from MSC High School, the class of 1998.

Composed of 23 students, most of the members of the class spent only two years at MSC since MSC High School started operation only in 1996.

Class Valedictorian was Hannah Pearl “Happy” U. Isleta. Happy is now a Flight Attendant at Emirates Airlines, and she now lives at Dubai, UAE. After graduating from MSC High School, she went to Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines in Diliman. Coincidentally, she is married to another MSC graduate – Eric Sangcap.

Notes from alumni

By Lea Capule

After finishing high school, I opted to look for a job because my family could not afford to send me to college. I felt that my dream of becoming a professional just ended right there and then. I worked as a saleslady in a pharmacy.

After a few months, my aunt offered to pay for my tuition provided it would be within budget. The only school I knew then were Laguna College, San Pablo Colleges, Canossa and Trade. I had no idea about other institutions that offered vocational courses. Then my high school friend introduced me to MSC and encouraged me to take their scholarship exam.

MSC 7 – Doubling and Halving

Many products can be easily obtained by applying doubling and halving together or one after another.

Example 7.1: 7 x 16 = 7 x ( 8 x 2) = (7 x 8) x 2 = 56 x 2 = 112
