Trivia – MSC: NAMFREL volunteer, SPERM member

MSC has always instilled in its students, faculty, and staff to always be aware of what is going on in the community/country and to take active part in activities that will affect the future of the society we live in.

Whenever election comes, all members of the MSC staff, some faculty members and students become volunteers of National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL). There were times when MSC became headquarter for quick counts. Volunteers from civic and other groups would deliver results which were tallied by MSC programmers and encoders. Partial results will then be displayed on a big screen outside for people to see. The quick counts usually lasted for more than 24 hours.

Stories from the Alumni: Hazel Flores-Maghirang

MSC – Madami akong naging experiences sa school na ito.

Dito ako nakakuha ng true friends na up to now  mga barkada ko pa din.

Dito din ako natututo na makisalamuha sa iba’t ibang klase ng tao, before kasi mahiyain ako. Sa MSC bawal ang mahiyain, dapat involved ka sa mga activities nila na kahit ayaw mo sumali mapipilitan ka para sa grades pero later on mag-e-enjoy ka na din.

MSC Origins part IX: Acquisition of MSC Annex

When MSC occupied the 4th floor of the La Suerte building, there needed to be another venue to accommodate the “overflow” students from MSC Main (as what the students used to call MSC – La Suerte). What MSC found was the old building along Artemio B. Fule St. (upper Lopez Jaena) which used to be Agrix Supermarket. This new site was christened MSC Annex or simply Annex.

Other equipment which could not be put in the fourth floor of La Suerte were placed at the annex. Equipped with one room each for typing and drafting a workshop, two classrooms and a music room. Annex housed the work area for highly-specialized courses like Autocad, a course specially suited for engineers, architects, drafting designers and others whose occupation involve drawing or designing of some kind.

Conversion: Yards to Meters

One yard is 3 feet or 36 inches, while one meter is 39.37 inches. This makes one yard to be about 0.9155 meters. But for practical use, we can approximate and use the rate 1 yard = 0.9 meters.

We can easily do that if we apply MSC-8, multiplying by 9.

MSC 15: Squaring Numbers Ending in 5

Squaring is multiplying a number by itself.

It is very easy to square two-digit numbers ending in five by using the Vedic Math sutra or word formula “By one more than the one before.”

The square of a two-digit number ending in 5 is composed of 2 parts.

The first or left hand part is obtained by multiplying the ten’s digit “By one more than the one before” or by the next number.

The second part is always 5 x 5 or 25.
