The PUPLHS academic contest began on December 12, 2025, and ended on December 16, 2025, giving talented students an opportunity to use their knowledge, skills, and ideas. As students from grades 7 through 10 competed, a genuinely competitive environment developed as they collaborated to provide insightful answers, talk persuasively, and write with perseverance. These tournaments foster teamwork and camaraderie in addition to motivating students to compete and improve their skills. These contests not only encourage students to join competitions and hone their abilities but also allow teamwork and fellowship to prosper.

Candidates gathered in the Science Laboratory on the first day of the Essay Writing competition, where they were assigned a particular subject to write about. The General Information Quiz Bee followed, where students raced to provide prompt answers to questions. Candidates were assigned a topic and a word restriction for their essay creation during the Pagsulat ng Sanaysay competition, which took place in the AVR.Additionally, the Information and Technology Quiz Bee was held in the Multi-Purpose Hall as the final competition on the first day. Students demonstrated their collaboration and teamwork by giving their best answers.

The Basic Statistics and Basic Mathematics Quiz Bee kicked off the second day's academic competition. Students were pre-selected to compete and collaborate in groups. The Social Science Quiz Bee took place at the library. where each section's single student competed against the others. Then arose Dagliang Talumpati, a competition in which participants use improvisation while speaking Filipino.

Finally, we had the Philippine History, Culture, and Arts Quiz Bee, which was held in the library, and the Extemporaneous Speaking, which was also held in the AVR.

Matapos ang masusi at malawakang pagsasaayos sa dambana, pormal na muling pinasinayaan sa publiko ang makasaysayang bahay at museo ng ating bayaning si Apolinario Mabini sa loob ng PUP Sta. Mesa Campus nitong Disyembre 10, 2025.

Sa pangunguna ng tagapangulo ng Pambansang Komisyong Pangkasaysayan ng Pilipinas, Taga-pangulo Regalado Trota Jose Jr., at ng Tagapangulo ng Komite ng Senado sa Edukasyong Tersiyaryo, Teknikal, at Bokasyonal, at masugid na tagapagtaguyod ng pamanang lahi at kultura, Senadora Loren Legarda, layunin ng Dambana at Museo na higit na mapalapit sa mga kabataang Pilipino, partikular na sa mga Iskolar ng Bayan, ang buhay, kaisipan, kabayanihan ng Utak ng Himagsikan. Sumisimbolo ang muling pagbubukas ng Dambana at Museo sa pagkakaisang pangalagaan at muling alalahanin ang ating kasaysayan sa gitna ng modernong panahon. Nagbibigay rin ito ng karunungan at inspirasyon sa mga kabataan na magpatuloy sa pagsulong ng kapayapaan at karapatang pantao ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino.
