1. Greetings to the class 2021! This is the second time that I am
giving my graduation accolades virtually. In the past year, we are all
caught unaware by the impact of this Covid - 19 pandemic but we
moved on and strived for learning continuity. And look where you are
now you just made history being the first ever graduates and
completers using alternative learning delivery modality. On this big
scale distance might not be a novel experience for some but having it as
the main learning modality in all school for me is a big success.
This year is totally different. It was a big challenge for your
parents or guardians as well as to your teachers, to the school staff and
management, and most of all to all of you learners. We didn’t have any
idea what would happen next but we have one goal and that is to
ensure that learning is continued amidst this pandemic. And now, you
just finished this school year. You are a testament that we can surpass
any difficulties as long as our common vision is clear and we
understand our common goal.
Graduates and completers you truly deserve that certificate and
diploma. This moment is a time to celebrate your achievements. You
also prepare for a future of opportunities and embrace a world of
infinite possibilities. It might be full of challenges but it is also an
exciting time in your lives. Look around, observe your surroundings and
you will see new perspectives in the situation where we are in and
never view a challenge as a disadvantage. You have to understand the
situation and getting through the challenge is a big advantage. We
might be powerless to stop external factors but do not underestimate
the efforts and hard work that we contribute to improve our situation.
You being the graduates and completers of this year proved that
your drive, your perseverance, and your willpower are stronger than
the setbacks and obstacles. We have the power to choose on how we
2. respond to any situation. It is hard to imagine what life could look like
as time progresses so use this pandemic to find your purpose wherever
you go. After graduation and moving up ceremony, it cannot be denied
that our school and our nation will gain something worthwhile.
Whatever your plan after this milestone you will affect the society for
good.
The Covid - 19 pandemic has brought plenty of positivities and
negativities in our lives but it may also be leading us to better times.
This pandemic has changed lifestyles drastically but with your resilience
and perseverance it will help our nation emerge from this crisis. Do
your part my dear graduates and completers whatever your dreams
and your choices, wherever this may take you, never forget that your
institution provided you with a stable foundation that your family,
relatives, circle of friends, your teachers and your mentors contributed
to what you are now. But the choice that you make will define what
you will be as you move towards to what you want to achieve in your
lives. Always remember that you are a BAIans. That being a BAIans, you
have that responsibility to protect our school and community. As I
alsway say the health and safety of everyone is always our primordial
concern keeping that in our thought we can work together to remain
determined, to persevere, and to move towards a better tomorrow.
Congratulations graduates and completers. I’d like also to take
this opportunity to thank all the teachers and support staff for your
undying dedication to this service, to the school management for your
unending support to this journey and to your beloved parents. Because
of your hard work and commitment we are able to finish one school
year and with the same determination and perseverance we will again
brave our way in the coming school year. We continue our Bayanihan
because BAIans we heals as one! We rise as one! Thank you very much
and To God be all the glory.
