Guided by heritage, driven by inquiry
The Layag Ilaya Research Journal is the official, peer-evaluated research publication of Ilaya Barangka Integrated School in Mandaluyong City. It publishes original, school-based studies authored by Senior High School students under faculty mentorship — research that begins with real problems in the school and community and ends with evidence that can guide action.
