Dear Madam:

Greetings!

I am pleased to endorse my former student, NIÑO L. ESQUILONA, who is aiming to take

Masters of Arts in Chemistry Education in Bicol University, to avail Capacity Building Program in
Science and Mathematics Education (CBPSME) offered by Department of Science and
Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) under your supervision.

As his former professor in most of his Chemistry courses and a program adviser of BSEd
Physical Science, I found him as a student who was always eager to learn new things, and
hence, was very zealous about the teaching profession. Through the years of his academic
journey, he has developed to be a confident, intelligent, and responsible student-teacher. He
was also a DOST-SEI Scholar under R.A. 7687 during his undergraduate studies in the degree
of Bachelor in Secondary Education Major in Physical Science at Bicol University College of
Education.

Reaping the fruits of his hard work and dedication, he earned his degree in Secondary
Education as Cum Laude and Outstanding BSEd Student in Physical Science. In the academe,
he has exhibited the character and attitude perfect for his chosen profession.

As his professor and mentor, I strongly recommend him for admission into the program. I
believe that he has always been ready to go an extra mile for his personal and professional
growth.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

MARY GRACE A. RODRIGUEZ

Professor, College of Education
