June 9-11, 2022

Boy: Program is about to commence in a short while. Before we begin, let me remind of the following etiquettes. Turn
your cell phones to silent mode and be courteous around you by refraining from talking aloud, follow health protocols
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.
(Opening Prayer and Singing of the National Anthem)

Boy: *Please be seated.

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.
If there is one aspect that most of us - if not all, is sparing ourselves from, it is rather but one thing- TO LEAD. It takes a
lot of courage and perseverance for a man to stand leadership. Nonetheless, this man undoubtedly took the challenge even
though we are in our worst situation where nothing seems certain brought by the outbreak.
Girl: She is one of the women of this institution who remain flexible at any kind of work. A leader, 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.
(Opening Remarks)

Boy: Gratitude, Sir President. To lead a big organization requires a lot of courage and adherence to reaching its pinnacle
of success notwithstanding those impediments scattered along the journey and apparently, he puts his heart and mind to
maintain the good reputation of this institution. A leader for all seasons, indeed. Once again, a resounding applause to Sir.

Girl: At this juncture, let us now call on Ma’am Angeli P. Morada, OIC of Senior High School Department, for the
presentation of graduates, and for the confirmation of graduates and completers, Sir Gil Jose S. Sarte.
