To our energetic principal Ms./Mr. _______________ , to our dear teachers, beloved parents, to all the graduates of ____________________ Class of 2012, distinguished guests, friends, ladies and gentlemen good morning!
First and foremost, let me congratulate all the graduates of _________________ who through the years have persevered, coming from near and far, rain or shine, even without money or “ba -on”, you brave kids who kept marching back and forth to school for six hard and long years is now finally reaping all what you have invested.
I, together with your parents and your teachers are very proud of you!
Every tidbit of knowledge is a gift of power. What we have learned in our six years in grade school may not be enough to change the world ahead of us however these are vital tracks in achieving our own responsibility as citizens of this nation.
We were not sent to school not only to improve the status of our living, but to learn the value of “bayanihan.” We are all in one to fight against corruption in government, to be instruments in helping our fellowmen who are suffering from poverty, to be advocates in promoting fairness and equality between men and women, to be preachers of positive force and more importantly to continue striving for excellence and quality education.
I believe that in this generation of graduates, you possessed unparalleled talents, skills and attributes that has been mold and continually nurtured in school. All of these learning are powerful tools in attaining all of what we dreamt and envisioned. As newly graduates this poses a challenge for you to efficiently and effectively utilize what you have learned and used this consciously as possible. Always remember that we have our respective parents, family, friends and the community hand-in-hand with our educators to always guide and pave the way for us in our journey towards learning the ideals of life.
As you march forward to your secondary education, always keep in mind that no matter how little, how different, how uncertain you are right now there's always remember that there are more rooms for improvement and relearning. Never settle for what you already have today, continue to seek always for answers to your questions because this shall be new learnings; learnings that will bridge us closer to our goal in contributing towards nation building.
Let us explore a brighter world, let us rediscover the heroes inside us, soar higher graduates of _________________. To God be the glory!
