Just this year, high school students climbed Pico de Loro to appreciate the granduer of its mountain the beauty of the rainforest, the different creatures that lived in the wild. This experience teaches awareness that there are other creatures to love and to care.
Mr. Guy proudly mentioned that NGIS is a "school of Heart" and students are envisioned to become responsible individuals with the heart and this is the guiding principle why the "culture of giving" is emphasized and practiced especially every christmas that instead of just giving gift among themselves, students go out in the community to share a heart of gift to poor children in the city. He explained further that even though students are intellectually competent, but without heart, future is not assured to be hopeful.

The principal is essential to the growth and developement of the teachers which in turn responsible for the growth and development of the students which in turn become the future leaders of the country. A study was conducted on why the teachers are not doing well in terms of developing their skills in teaching, the result of study leads to the conclusion that the failure of the principal is the very reason behind this sad fact.
Mr. Guy who is originally from Mindanao, is now a real Treceneo because of his contribution to the community as the principal, as an active sports organizer, as an active community service project organizer and as officer of the group of educators.
