A few more questions were thrown to the students and faculty and these were their answers.
Who is your favorite teacher?

How do you feel about strict rules being enforced in SFAS?
“I feel that these rules are all here because we have to be disciplined in school. I feel that they also give us some freedom because they want to see how we can take care of this freedom and of course challenge our discipline.” by Christy Zaragosa, Grade 10
How do you feel being a Tapulanga Foundation scholar in SFAS?
“I am blessed and thankful that I am an SFAS scholar since Grade 1. Being a scholar is more than just a blessing for me, life is stress-free. I don’t have to think about the financial aspect. I just focus on my studies and I don’t worry about anything else. So my energies are all into studying and making it good in school.” by Jesselle Hermano, Grade 10
Why teach in SFAS?
"I have seen for myself how the school really helps our underprivileged students.
In SFAS, I am able to improve my skills and other talents. I like designing, playing volleyball and choreographing dance and shows. I am able to do these in SFAS and share with the school and my students.” by Sir Joevani Buenafe, teacher
