My warmest felicitations to all graduates and completers

                     for batch SY 2022-2023!

As this year’s graduation and moving-up ceremonies highlight the importance of perseverance, unity, and the power of education in transforming the lives of our children, I foremostly commend the hard work and commitment of teachers and parents who have gone beyond their limit to support students’ learning. This school year’s success would not be possible without you.

I equally applaud the learners for your adaptability and flexibility despite the hurdles you must overcome. Your ability to adjust and thrive in a challenging and unfamiliar environment give meaning to this year’s theme, “K to 12 Graduates: Molded through a Resilient Educational Foundation.”

As another page of your life story opens, remember to treasure the relationships you have built along the way and maintain those connections as you progress on life’s journey. They are your beacon towards greatness.

Above all, may you be challenged to make a difference as you leave a positive impact wherever you go. Always remember that success is not only measured by material wealth but also by your acts that positively influence the community and the people around you.

My salute to the parents, teachers, and school administrators. You have not only significantly cultivated our children’s academic abilities but also honed them to become responsible and accountable citizens, who can contribute towards the betterment of our society.

Congratulations once again on your well-deserved success and I wish you good luck as you reach greater heights!

Assalamualaikum.

My warmest greetings to the Class of 2023 for the successful culmination of your academic endeavors.

This milestone attests to the hard work and perseverance you have exemplified as you embark on another journey leading you to the realization of your aspirations of a better life and a better future.

I join your families and academic communities in celebrating this achievement.

We recognize their valuable role in your growth and development as well-rounded individuals — preparing you to face the demands of higher learning or navigate the complexity of life as successful professionals.

I am with you in forging a path toward progress even as you continue to live by the tenets that have guided you in your academic training and inspired you to pursue excellence as young leaders.

May the knowledge and skills you have gained serve as your springboard for greater success and inspire you to become catalysts of transformative social growth within your respective communities.

I hope you will realize the depth of your potential and the power that you now possess as young educated Filipinos — and use this not only to achieve your dreams and change your lives for the better, but also help our fellow Filipinos and our country.

As future leaders and builders of our nation, may you become persistent, determined, and committed to the fight for peace, security and stability, the ending of poverty, the campaign to give Filipino children access to basic education, the protection of the environment, the promotion of health and nutrition, and many other challenges that we are facing today.

Consistent with our vision in the MATATAG agenda, we will continue to promote programs and uphold reforms that will nurture resilient mindsets so that we can hone young Filipinos who have the capacity and resiliency to thrive in challenging circumstances.
