such as wearing of facemasks, observe social distancing, and hand sanitizing and during the presentation of graduates,
we encourage you to express your pride by applauding.

Girl: Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Graduation day is always a day of rejoicing for it marks the conclusion of an
educational journey and the commencement of another more uncertain and more difficult part of man’s quest for a
better life and future. Truly, today signifies the culmination of many years of hard work in the relentless pursuit of
knowledge: knowledge that will enable a person to embrace opportunities and take on challenges with clear vision and
purpose as they traverse the foray of a new chapter.

(PROCESSIONAL)

Boy: Before setting one foot forward, one must seek divine control and direction to clear out the pave way and
succeed in whatever undertaking there is. Hence, let us commence this ceremony with ecclesiastically replenished
hearts as we pay tribute, honor, and glory to our Almighty God through an invocation, and thereafter, let us be in one
nationalistic voice in singing the Philippine National Anthem thru AVP.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams”. Today we will
witness the fruit of the diligence, perseverance, and effort of young believers in taking another step toward their
dreams.

Girl: This event may sound like an ending, but reality will prove that this is only one of the initiatives in achieving the
dreams of these young people. Despite the pandemic that has changed the entire world, the domain of education is not
an exception; we continue to produce graduates. When the struggle becomes obvious that changes the presence of
education, we make an extraordinary effort to cope with the situation.
Boy: Indeed, to continue the educational system, we use the internet where students and teachers have access to
electronic devices and a reliable internet connection and learning management system, and also, we have the modular
approach for those who can’t afford it. Because of that, we learned to adapt and provide quality education.

Girl: That is why these young believers remain steadfast and dream; it simply symbolizes that the burden of the trial
will not prevent young believers from achieving life's goals. Now, another milestone is about to unfold. A stronger
and better way of uplifting lives and building future, an extension of service, adherence and devotion, and wider
medium of achieving goals and objectives.

Boy: It is always a pleasure to have family and friends of this institution gathered together. There are many events that
we have missed, and looking forward to celebrate in a normal setting. Welcoming you here for today’s event is
especially meaningful as we honor our graduates and celebrate their achievements.
Girl: To start this event, she is one of the women in this institution who remain flexible at any kind of work. A very
hardworking leader and a teacher, a friend and a mother. Further to this notion, she is here with us to convey a
message. At this juncture, let us all be enlightened and see ourselves inspired as the OIC, Elementary Department,
Ma’am Jayma Bell P. Garcia sets the tone for this ceremony. A round of Applause for her Opening Remarks.
