Profile of the School

Ilugin Elementary School is located at San Sebastian Street Ilugin Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City. It was named Ilugin as at times the area was underwater every time it rained. Our school is in between Nagpayong Elementary School and Pinagbuhatan Elementary School. It was opened due to the overflowing population of Pinagbuhatan Elem. School, thus named Pinagbuhatan Elem, School-Ilugin Annex in SY 1987-1988 with the late Mrs. Ester Villareal as the Principal. There were only Grades 1, 2 and 3 then, with 2 sections each on Double Shifting schedule.

Mrs. Teresita Villanueva, former ASTP of Pinagbuhatan Elem. School was assigned as Teacher – In Charge from August 1999 to May 2001. Then she was transferred to Sagad Elementary School and Mr. Artemio O. Danseco, Master Teacher was appointed as OIC of Nagpayong Annex.

During her administration also, the Rotary Bldg. was damaged due to typhoon and this was replaced by VPE Bldg. II with 24 classrooms inaugurated in July 25, 2001. Mrs. Arsenia B.

Every three or four years in school means rotation of principals which means a new environment and new sets of teachers as their new flock of herds. 

Mrs. Corazon B. Natividad was quite strict to her rules, yet he defines it with love and purity that every teacher may accept her way of managing her faculty members.  Managing a short term in her office in IES yet it was a meaningful and a new experience working with her. Her own wit and sense of humor makes up for being a good leader. She left the portals of Ilugin ES with dignity that she stood up and did her best. 

Having decided to spend her retirement years in school, Dr. Thelma C. Torio was a God fearing, verse and quotation principal that made her style a quite unique leader. Putting God first in her decisions and action her leadership speaks well of her. Having no ill feeling to her mentors, she always give decision with finess. Staying a short time in Ilugin, she has given 100 percent stature to her leadership.

Rosaldo Jr., whose knowledge, and expertise in school administration is of high regard. A man with less words yet a definitive action embarks IES to its peak. The school serves as home of education for 3,303 school children from kindergarten to Grade 6. 

A good place for nurturing young minds because it is a Very Outstanding Child-Friendly School, with mentors dedicated to their chosen field of profession, a simple yet quite surroundings is truly a place for excellent education. 

The school has limited land area with only 532 m2   for two (2) buildings- the VPE I and VPE II.  The school can only assemble 3-5 classes during programs and Flag Raising/Retreat.

Offering Kindergarten, Grades I -VI, we can say IES is a complete elementary.  The physical attributes, expanse and beautifully landscaped school campus has 4 school buildings - the BCE 1 Building where the Kindergarten, Grade 5 and Grade 6 classes were situated. BCE 2 Building where the Grade 3 classes were located. Another high-rise building, the VPE 2 Building, is a six-floor structure, housing the Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 4 classes , service centers such as the LRC which lectures related lessons and other activities are done conducive with its cool and comfortable ambience, the Home Economics Room, Clinic, the Local and National supply room, Computer Room, Feeding Room, Canteen,  Principal’s Office and Guidance Office that are indeed operational for every learner are also housed in the building.  Adjacent to this building, the six-floor VPE 1 Building, which the 4 sections of Grade 1 and and Grade 2 classes were accommodated. It is situated in a place just near the main street. It has a neighboring gasoline station and an Air Liquide Factory along the other side of the street. 

The school is surrounded by residential houses. At the back of school buildings built residential houses with no space in between. The two school buildings are in two different compounds because one residential house already existed before the third building was constructed. There is a limited space for recreation and school gardening. The Conference Hall is one of the venues for meetings, conferences, and other events.

Although the Local Government Unit wants to build an additional school building to address the needs for classroom shortage and limited-service centers, there is no available space. Vertical gardening was implemented to address the program for Gulayan sa Paaralan. 

The school is surrounded by the different factories like Total Gas, ASAHI Glass Phils., SOBROS, Air Liquide Phils, Achor Stell that are supportive in different school activities. 

The City Slaughterhouse is also located at the end part of the street which is the primary source of meat within the community. The school is grateful to the city slaughterhouse doing ways to lessen unpleasant smell.  

DepEd’s advocacy is about health and nutrition. The DepEd’s School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) Fund supports its main objective to reduce, if not eradicate, the number of malnourished schoolchildren. The LGU is a great partner of DepEd in this advocacy. It has its own SBFP along with Food packs given to identified learners. The school serves as a venue for the implementation of these programs. To deal with some health issues, there are some preventive interventions implemented by the school through the sponsorship of DepEd and Nutrition Council in the City Government. The Medical City- Ilugin Community Pediatrics provides various health related services like free eye check-up, physical examination, lectures on mental awareness, dental and medical mission. 

Certain projects and interventions are implemented by the school to improve the basic competencies of teachers. These are the school-based training done virtually during the pandemic, attending demonstration teachings, pursuing professional development, and making action research that will aid them in achieving increment in the performance of the school. The school sustains school-based training and other school-initiative projects, as indicated in School Improvement Planning, Annual Procurement Plan, and Project Procurement Management Plan, using the MOOE Fund. Further, the school is directed to have LAC Session wherein the Teacher’s Strengths and Needs Assessment (TSNA) is conferred and where the planning, implementation and evaluation of their commenced programs take place.

The school promotes safe and protective practices based on DepEd’s Policy on Child Protection in School. To respond to this mandate, the school created the School Child Protection Committee where all types of bullying incidents are reported aside from the Anecdotal Record prepared by teachers.

One of the underlying reasons for establishing school projects or programs is to provide a solution to the different hindrances in achieving the targeted goals of schools, schools’ division office, and the Department of Education.  

Continuous communication and having a positive relationship with the community, stakeholders, and parents is our key to achieving every goal of our projects. BINHI foundation, PESO SMART Literacy and RecoveReads, Giving Hope Foundation, TARABASA, AHA Teaching at the Right Level and GOKONGWEI Brothers Foundation are some of the partners of the school in ensuring the delivery of quality education to our learners. 

The school administrators, faculty, non-teaching, SPTA, and the community of Ilugin Elementary School are working hard to achieve the target goals of the Department of Education.
