It takes a Village to Educate a Child!
A very common cliché yet really fits to this year’s graduation theme “Sabay-sabay na Hakbang Tungo sa Maunlad na Kinabukasan.”
Dear graduates, you are so blessed that it is at this day and age that you reap the fruits of your hardship and perseverance as you triumphantly carried out and faced the challenges of education.
Over the years, hundreds of thousands of experiences have combined to make you the person you are now. From the time you set your foot in your Alma Mater right up to the present moment, experiences, learning and values have shaped your life and have strengthened you with the guidance and support of so many people around you, who have become part and parcel of what you have achieved today. Your teachers, parents, family members, friends and classmates, they are the wind beneath your wings. They have been with you throughout your battle in this field.
As you exult and celebrate the accomplishments brought about by your diligence and determination, let me remind you to look back with heartfelt appreciation to the institution that nurtured your relentless pursuit for learning, learning that will enable you to confront the obstacles that might thwart your way in the coming years.
Now, you are wise, determined and matured enough to preserve the positive influence and reject the negative one. You are now sheltered with knowledge, armored with confidence and empowered to become the person you want to be.
May this point in time serves as the dawn of bright future for you and may it encourages you to continue your journey toward the new horizon of your life.
Congratulations parents, teachers and graduates!!!
Glory be to the Father whose everlasting love and mighty power uplifts one’s heart in this journey.
