Letran Senior High School students achieved notable success in international research platforms, highlighting the institution’s commitment to fostering research excellence and innovation among young scholars.
Leading the delegation were Paolo Miguel B. Dela Cruz and Althea Jen H. Evangelista of STEM 11B, who presented their study, “Cyclists’ Perceived Cyclability: Examining the Influence of Urban Infrastructure,” at the 3rd CDSGA International Research Gala (GabFest). The pair was recognized as Best Oral Presenters for their outstanding research presentation.
Their study examined cyclists’ perceptions of cyclability and the role of urban infrastructure in shaping safe, accessible, and sustainable transportation experiences. By exploring factors that influence cycling conditions within urban environments, the research contributes valuable insights to ongoing discussions on sustainable mobility, urban planning, and community development.
Also recognized as Best Oral Presenters during the same conference were Athena Maroe Saballa and Jhon Robert Mahusay, who presented their study, “The Experiences and Motivations of Runners around Intramuros.”
The research explored the experiences, motivations, and perspectives of individuals who engage in running activities around Intramuros. Through an examination of factors that encourage participation in recreational and fitness-oriented running, the study provided insights on health promotion, physical activity, community engagement, and the use of heritage sites as environments that support active lifestyles.
Meanwhile, Princess Yenomi Sisante and Rigel Kent Cabahug of STEM 11D presented their study, “Understanding Pampanga Province Farmers’ Perspectives on Bt Corn Adoption Amid Climate-Related Challenges,” at the 1st International Multidisciplinary Research Colloquium 2026 in Engineering, Science, and Education for Sustainable Development.
Their research investigated the perspectives of farmers in Pampanga Province regarding the adoption of Bt corn amid climate-related challenges. By examining farmers’ experiences, perceptions, and decision-making factors, the study generated valuable insights into agricultural innovation, climate resilience, and sustainable food production. The findings contribute to discussions on how emerging agricultural technologies can support farming communities in adapting to environmental and economic challenges.
These accomplishments reflect the quality of research being undertaken by Letran students and demonstrate their ability to address pressing issues in transportation, health, community development, and agriculture through scholarly inquiry.
The Colegio congratulates Paolo Miguel B. Dela Cruz, Althea Jen H. Evangelista, Athena Maroe Saballa, Jhon Robert Mahusay, Princess Yenomi Sisante, and Rigel Kent Cabahug for representing Letran in international research platforms and for advancing research that contributes to society and sustainable development.
Arriba, Letran Research!
