The Festival of Talents (FOT) is an annual activity of the Department of Education which aims to showcase the skills and talents of students in different fields of learning. For this year, the FOT has a theme “Galing, Talino at Husay ng mga Batang Makabansa sa Diwa ng Matatag na Adhika”.

In the DepEd Division of Pampanga, the Division Festival of Talents was held last March 18, 2024 at Lubao National High School, Lubao, Pampanga. Once again our learners from San Vicente Pilot School for Philippine Craftsmen bagged awards in the different categories of Dressmaking and Electrical Installation and Maintenance.

The extensive training and guidance of the SVPSPC teachers to our students had bear fruits. The Dressmaking duo of Paula Claire P. Reyes and Frances Lyka P. Atun emerged as champion in the said category with their teacher/coach Ms. Pauline Gopez. For the Electrical Installation & Maintenance Category, our student contestants placed 2nd, represented by Jay-c L. Guevarra and Kelvin Gino B. Viray with their teacher/coach Mrs. Edlyn S. Rivera.

Since the Dressmaking contestants bagged the 1st place, they will compete for the Regional Festival of Talents of Central Luzon this coming April 2024 and the venue will still be announced.

The San Vicente Pilot School for Philippine Craftsmen is known to be a school of champions in the field of technical and vocational subjects such as Dressmaking,, Electrical Installation & Maintenance, Cookery, Drafting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding and many others.

The SVPSPC FOT team is very grateful to this achievement with the support of the SV management team headed Mr. Narciso S. Mendiola, Jr. (School Principal) and to the various public and private stakeholders who our helping the school.

At SV, we #ShowcaseVirtuosity.
