Ms. Michelle Lei Victorino and selected Grade 11 students were allowed to attend, observe, and engage in the discussions, preparing them for their own research endeavors. The presence of an esteemed panel of invited examiners added depth and rigor to the congress, offering expert feedback and guidance. Indeed, the event invited all participants to reflect on the value of research in advancing knowledge and continuing the school's legacy of excellence.

The Manila Cathedral School supported our MCSians in the recent research congress, which significantly helped them improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This series of research presentations conducted by our Grade 12 Senior High School students is interrelated to how we simply find solutions to the problems we encounter in our daily lives, and these are inextricably linked to the quality and success of whatever endeavor we are pursuing.

The Manila Cathedral School strengthened its commitment to cultivating a vibrant research culture among MCSians across all strands. This initiative promotes critical thinking, inquiry, and interdisciplinary collaboration, empowering students to become innovative learners and contributors to knowledge. At MCS, research is a shared journey — uniting every strand in the pursuit of excellence and meaningful impact.

This initiative strengthened students' research competencies across all strands, fostering analytical thinking, collaboration, and academic excellence. It aimed to prepare learners to meet competitive academic standards and real-world challenges through meaningful research engagement.

The Manila Cathedral School successfully conducted Siyasig: MCS Action Research Festival, a significant event that underscored the institution's commitment to innovation, faith, and service.

The Manila Cathedral School and Mr. Bryan M. Gallos, QADPC of HCCS, conducted a successful seminar on Action Research for all MCS Personnel last March 14, 2024, at the MCS Library.
