Education is a legacy, graduation is our success. After hard days of long labor, our day has
finally come. Truly, education is our only treasure that cannot be stolen away from us.
Once knowledge is acquired, it becomes a built-in coterminous asset.
To our Schools Division Superintendent, Madame Cherry Mae L. Limbaco, ES1 in Private Schools,
Madame Antonieta S. Bona, our District Supervisor, Dr. Hermes F. Erasquin, our School Principal,
Madame Vivian C. Luceňo, our Assistant School Principals, Madame Anna Maria S. Timogan
and Sir Camilo E. Baldonado, teachers, fellow graduates, distinguished guests, parents,
relatives, friends, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
In the beginning, our parents had a mission, a sacred mission, a mission for wisdom and
knowledge for their beloved children. We, the children to whom that sacred mission is
addressed went through the years from nursery up to the day where we are joined which is
today. Working for that mission, initially, our minds were empty but with the concerted
efforts of our parents and the mentors whom we honor so very much, our minds were opened
for knowledge started to set in. And since knowledge embrace in knowing good
and evil, we, the children are tasked to screen good from evil in order for the good thing
to perpetually nourish ourselves for better personal development. In the process of screening,
it requires the application of wisdom because no matter how knowledgeable we are, if wisdom
is nil in our hearts and mind, the mission to which our parents were striving for
will be put to nothing.
Fear in the lord is wisdom. If knowledge is guided with wisdom; evil is nowhere to be
found in the community. Corruption which seems to be the life blood in the community today
will be eradicated. It is a challenge for us children as future generation who
will soon take the place of those who are in governance to do what is good and to reject what is evil.
Today is the beginning of our academic pursuit for higher learning and accomplishment. What
we have witnessed today is a job well done for all of us which is a preparatory step
to the next level of the mission. Our success which we owe from our parents and mentors is a living legacy which we will deeply cherish in our hearts. Congratulations!
