MSC Origins part XIII: From La Suerte to El Coco

In 2002, MSC main, which was then occupying the 4th floor of the La Suerte building was again outgrown by its growing number of students. Even with the old Agrix Supermarket or MSC annex, being used at the same time, an even bigger space was essential.

Fortunately at that time a four storey-building beside MSC Annex was nearing completion and the owner was looking for lessees. The building which was later named El Coco Building was perfect for MSC!

Stories from the Alumni: Jomaica Luya

Five years. It’s been five years since I graduated from MSC. I still remember our rooms at the Artemio Fule Building. The narrow hallways, the transformer classrooms in the ground floor, the two rooms upstairs along with the principal’s office, the so called shop at the back, the library, the faculty, the garage, the secret comfort rooms and passages. It was quite tight. But we all fit in. It felt like home.

Only at MSC: In-house Training for MSC employees

At MSC, the students are not the only ones encouraged to be lifelong learners, MSC management and employees also adopt the principle of lifelong learning by heart.

Despite the busy schedule at the office and at home, the staff of MSC take time to have personal improvement lessons by having weekly discussions taken from books of popular authors. Though temporarily discontinued at the moment, these discussions aim to improve each staff individually and also enhance their team-work skills.

Conversion: Miles to Kilometers

We frequently encounter distances in miles (English System), but in the Philippines, we use the metric system, and need to convert miles to kilometers,

We will use the conversion 1 mile = 1.6 km. And we have several ways to make the computation easier. Let us consider two ways.

MSC 19: Base Multiplication: One Number Above and One Number Below the Base

When one number is above and the other number is below the base, we either

a) add the excess of the number above the base to the other number or
b) deduct the deficiency of the number below the base from the other number.

Example 19.1: Find 104 x 98
Our base is 100, 104 is 4 above the base, and 98 is 2 below the base.
104 x 98
= (100 + 4) *(100 – 2)
= (104 – 2) * 100 + 4 *(-2)

Note that 104 – 2 and 98 + 4 will both yield 102
= 10,200 – 08
= 10,192
