Graduation Rites

2021-2022

My warmest greetings to the school officials, administrators, faculty members and advisers, teachers, parents,
and guardians of the graduates and completers of School Year 2021-2022!

On behalf of the Department of Education (DepEd), I am proud to celebrate the successes, milestones, and
achievements of this batch’s graduates and promoted students in this year’s End-of-School-Year rites with the
theme “K to 12 Graduates: Pursuing Dreams and Fostering Resilience in the Face of Adversity.”

In the past six years, we committed to our mandate to enhance the quality of education, broaden its access,
and ensure its relevance in the rapidly changing world.

DepEd endeavored to address each challenge by instituting programs and reforms in the Department. We have
fully implemented the K to 12 curriculum and the aggressive reforms of Sulong EduKalidad to produce
globally competitive learners and teachers. We also expanded our mission for accessible education by
strengthening the Alternative Learning System (ALS) and the Last Mile Schools programs to reach more
Filipinos. Likewise, we also established the National Academy of Sports (NAS) and Education Futures Unit
to create more opportunities for our learners and anticipate the future of the education system in the country.

Committed to sustaining this momentum, the Department developed and implemented the Basic Education-
Learning Continuity Program (BE-LCP), where we offered various learning modalities and produced award-
winning initiatives such as the DepEd TV and DepEd Commons at the height of the pandemic. Eventually, the
Department held its ground against an unprecedented challenge in basic education
as we progressively expand the reintroduction of face-to-face classes in
the country.

Indeed, education is truly a shared responsibility. This is why we

Express our utmost appreciation to our dear parents and teacher
for being our partners in nurturing the youth throughout the
years. To the Class of 2022, resilience is in your blood. You have
Survived one of the toughest times in human history, yet still
Embraced education as your primary tool to success. I believe
that with your passion and purpose, you can reach your dreams
and change
the world.

May you keep on harnessing and imparting wisdom together,

we will build a nation of competent global citizens and future
leaders.

This year’s rites theme“Gradweyt ng K to 12: Masigasig sa mga Pangarap at Matatag sa mga
Pagsubok”, highlights the important role of quality education in helping you dear graduates achieve

Despite the challenge that the world is facing right now, MIAS is with the Department of education
in its aim to equip our students with the knowledge and skills needed in in the 21st century especially
in this most trying time of our lives.
MIAS has always been an advocate of quality education in order to realize the four exits envisioned
for Senior High School graduates—namely, higher education, entrepreneurship, employment or
middle-level skills development. That is why I am confident enough that with the education that MIAS
has provided you thru the K-12 Curriculum; with your patience, perseverance, hard work, “diskarte”
and fait in God, you are now prepared to win in the battle for quality life.

My dear graduates (mga anak), as you close this chapter of your

lives, you also unfold the new one.

Today, also mark the beginning of your new journey to a

wider and challenging world— full of unknown and
uncertainties. May you not fear for the things that are yet
to be seen but be motivated and determined to face the
challenges along your journey and let this momentous event
be a reminder that you are on a right track towards your
goals in life.

Again, my dear graduates and parents, this day is for you;

this is a celebration of your hard work. Savor it and once again,
Congratulations!
