WELDANN LESTER A. PANGANIBAN
He finished Elementary and Secondary Education in Immaculate Conception Parochial School, Malabon City, in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Though life had been rude to him during this period, he can be seen as a jolly and friendly student. He is much of a student assistant without a pay, thus granting him the Student Assistance award upon his graduation in 2006.
He graduated as a Bachelor in Secondary Education, Major in English, at the City of Malabon University in March 2012. His field study took him to places of learning, such as Malabon National High School (December 2010-February 2011) and Tañong National High School (July-September 2011).
Eventually, he returned to ICPS to serve, not as its student, but as an educator. He currently teaches English for Fourth Year students, and stands as the School Paper Adviser. In addition, he passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers last September 2013.
Prior to this, he worked as an Online English Instructor at NeungYule Eduphone in Quezon City, teaching English to Korean students of varying ages and attitudes. This opened a new avenue of opportunities for him, as he is able to open himself to people of different cultures and backgrounds.
