A pleasant morning to every one of us.

Thanks to you, we’re leaders. At your career milestone, we honor you for the part you play in
maintaining our performance standards and commitment to excellence.

We know that achievement and success aren’t by accident. Breakthroughs come after spending
what seem like hours of hard work and trying new ideas. We applaud your performance with the
attractive recognition awards in the following online brochure. We hope you will select one that
you’ll use often in the coming years and will always remind you of our thanks for your
contributions.

The awards have been specially selected to honor your career achievement. They represent the
finest name-brand merchandise and premium jewelry. Our Department’s values good people–we
genuinely care about you and appreciate your contributions.

Congratulations to us reaching a service milestone with Department of Education!

Our values and principles are Maka-Diyos, Maka-Kalisakan, Maka-Tao at Makabansa. The
service award symbolizes the time you’ve given to help us as we pursue those values and
principles. It is also a token of appreciation for the part you’ve played in making the Department
what it is today. Our talents and efforts already have helped us achieve excellence in many areas.

As we celebrate our service anniversary, please accept my thanks. I hope the award you choose
is one you will be proud to use and that it will remind you of the department’s appreciation.

Now I wish to share with you some of my thoughts about our profession. Those who know me,
be aware of my passion for this profession and my addiction to work! I believe most of you will
agree that we have pretty awesome jobs – teaching is both an exciting and delicate profession.
We make or break the lives of people. A new world needs teachers who can easily adopt and
adapt to the needs of his or her learners, and it all depends on your desire to bring to life
something innovative and useful. If you understand and enjoy your vocation, be confident that
the next several years of work will pass with lightning speed. Of course, commitment is not easy.
As the saying goes “No pain, no gain.” However, success makes sacrifices worthwhile. It is a
thousand pities that many individuals I started with are not sitting here with us today. However, I
appreciate even more those of you who remain here. You remind me of how we began.

Let me close with a quote from a great Chinese thinker and philosopher Confucius: “Choose a
job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Thank you again for this honor
and the opportunity to share my thoughts and memories. I hope we will continue to do our best
for our company and experience a huge success. Thank you!
