Truly, DepEd’s mission continues as we go along with various ways to shape up our future leaders
despite the pandemic that we are with. We really need an awful determination, dedication, self-
discipline, and efforts to surpass this battle cry. Alone, reaching our goals would be impossible, but
together, we can make it happen.
