END-OF-SCHOOL-YEAR (EOSY) RITES MESSAGE

Perseverance. Determination. Hard Work are the three

inseparable components that are likely to be observed to
determine success.

My sincerest salutations to all who have toiled for the triumph

of the school year 2023-2024 educational journey of every
Filipino learner. The sturdy and adaptable support of the
school leaders, teachers, parents, and relevant stakeholders has
made this far-reaching and meaningful milestone.

This year’s theme of the End-of-School-Year (EOSY) rites,

"Kabataang Pilipino Para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan ng
Bagong Pilipinas," manifests the truest quintessence of being
MATATAG that promises a brighter future head-on. This
underpins the three equally important word; Kabataan,
kinabukasan, and Pilipinas.

KABATAANG PILIPINO highlights acclamation that each one of you, being young deserves
acclamation of being regarded as the backbone of future progress, carrying innovation, change, and
leadership potentials gained as offshoot of your scholastic discourses in the classroom.

each one has to hold, suggesting initiatives aimed at creating long-term benefits, stability, and
resilience in various aspects of life.

BAGONG PILIPINAS implies a vision for a transformed or improved nation, which reflects
aspirations for positive changes and reforms in the country.
