The MAPEH club of San Juan City Science High School administered the celebration for the month of MAPEH.

Therefore, it is indeed difficult due to new adjustments and because of the long duration of this event. The tournament was held for over 3 weeks. This was planned and launched by the club to let the students have fun while taking part in an important event. The participant's line-up of 5 main and 2 reserved players, for both tournaments, is gathered in a form of registration. The club officers live-streamed the games from elimination to finals on their Facebook page to let the audience watch the game, and to keep them notified about the action during the game. After numerous arduous extermination, JYRS Intranational won the MLBB Tournament meanwhile, AVES triumphed in CODM Tournament.

Online Zumba Competition was prepared by the club to allow JuanSci students to yield their talents in dancing and making choreographies. Competitors are required to have at least 3 members with no maximum member limit. They had the choice to choose their song and choreograph their Zumba. Within the registration period, 14 groups registered. Their entries are collected by the club via Google drive. And out of the 14 entries, Grade 9-Zoology, Grade 9-Andromeda, and Grade 8-Astronomy won the Zumba Competition's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, respectively.

To test the talents of those who are musically inclined, the MAPEH club also launched the JuanSci Hymn Composition Contest. Contestants composed a one to two-minute hymn that the school could utilize as an official school hymn. As the club requires, they provided their self-made lyrics and a video demo of their song. And with the great assessing skills of the judges, group 1 won among the 5 entries.
