MESSAGE
My warmest greetings and congratulations to the foremost champions of this momentous occasion
—the completers and graduates of School Year 20182019!
Graduation and moving-up ceremonies are indeed a joyous celebration, and not only because it
culminates another year of learning and discovery, perseverance, and passionate work among our learners. It
also caps off another year of successful collaboration among parents, teachers, education officials and
personnel, community members, partners, and stakeholders of diverse roots, cultures, and traditions.
This year’s theme, “Unity in Diversity: Quality Education for All,” speaks of our commitment and
loyalty to our culture—diverse as it is—that reflects our soul and unites our people. Time and again, we have
proven that regardless of our descent, status, ethnicity, and religious and political beliefs, we can unite
towards the realization of a common goal—the delivery of quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic
education for the Filipino learners.
While the Department of Education (DepEd) has carried on and embraced change amid
technological advancements and the continuously shifting socioeconomic landscape, it commits itself to the
holistic development of 21st century learners who are not only critical and innovative thinkers in the fields of
science, mathematics, and robotics, but who are also artistic and creative, and can thrive in the fields that
appeal to our soul and our sense of identity.
Rest assured that through the K to 12 Basic Education Program, DepEd shall strive to hone our
future leaders and nation-builders in a society that embraces diversity and all its challenges and advantages. I
am positive that whatever path they wish to pursue hereafter, our graduates and completers will continuously
enrich what makes up the Filipino soul—our culture, talent, history, and capacity to survive.
This year’s theme, “Unity in Diversity: Quality Education for All,” implies unity among people
with diverse cultures, religion, beliefs, languages and other demarcations, working together with a common
purpose in achieving quality education for all.
Dear graduates, whether this is your moving-up, completion, or graduation ceremony, this chapter
in your life is certainly commendable. It is our primary goal at the Department of Education to make certain
that the K to 12 Program is embraced by every Filipino, where every product of this program becomes the
source of skilled and advanced professionals.
As products of the K to 12 Basic Education Program, you have truly applied the competency skills
that led you to become more productive, proficient and valuable agents and future leaders in nation building.
After this remarkable event, may you continue to embrace the core values – Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao,
Makakalikasan, and Makabansa, as you venture to another chapter in your life. Bear in mind that having
these values creates oneness in differences which has become the foundation of quality education.
As Woodrow Wilson once quoted, “We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand
together until the end.”
A school graduation is someone that is more than special. It is a concluding reward for
all the painful and heavy sacrifices that students had to hurdle during the entirely of their school
life. In fact, a school graduation is a milestone in the life of a graduate. It is a landmark in the
map of our life.
A school graduation’s level of specialness radiates vibrantly within the circle of the
graduate’s family. The pride it brings never fail to resonate across the community… touching
even those without any familial relations… connected only by a Sense of Fulfillment shared by
those who desire to take the next important step along the Journey to Success.
It is best to remember that the starting point of all achievement is the desire to
achieve. When you have the desire to succeed you are virtually unstoppable. It is in this
understanding that we are given the courage to think outside the box: That the school
graduation (together with the diploma) is not the finishing point of the journey. Nor is it the
beginning. That’s because the true essence of a school graduation is a CONTINUUM. I is a
continuing series of progression and sequence where we start to begin anew and after a time,
come to a pause to assess what we have learned and how far we have gone. That we start
again…and pause again…then commence yet again and then pause again. Lifelong learning
never stops. And our school graduation, as evidenced by the diploma, is part and parcel of that
learning.
And therein stands the Challenge to the Graduates: The road to success is littered with
difficulties…it is not paved with shortcuts. But we are confident that you will find the correct
path. That’s because the K to 12 Learners are ready to face life’s challenges. We are confident
that you will all rise above the limits of yourselves and be the best that you can possibly be so
that you may fulfill your dreams. We are confident that as you journey along this High of
Success, you will all be able to create Landmarks in the Map of your Life…landmarks that can be
seen by all…landmarks that can make your family, your community and your Alma Matter proud
of you.
CONGRATULATIONS.

“You see things; you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?”
George
Bernard Shaw
Your hard work, determination and perseverance made this joyful celebration of success happen
and that is your being graduates and completers of your beloved alma mater for the School Year 2018-2019
and I extend my warmest congratulations for your having reached this remarkable event in your life.
As you continue your journey towards fulfilling your dreams, I am confident that your school
prepared you well by giving you the best trainings in holistically developing you as 21 st century learners
effectively addressing our diverse culture and beliefs and positively responding to your individual
differences. Likewise, your school greatly contributed to the role of the K to 12 Basic Education Program in
developing a society where everyone is served of his or her right to education, thus, giving relevance and
value to the theme: “Unity in Diversity: Quality Education for All”.
Dear graduates and completers, let this achievement be a reminder of the love, support, inspiration
and sacrifices that your school administrators, teachers, fellow learners and most especially your parents did
through God’s divine providence in order for you to reach this momentous occasion.
Therefore, in all endeavors that you will take, I pray and encourage that your genuine gratitude and
appreciation for them be manifested in ways that build, bridge and balance.
Build a strong, favorable and resilient character reflecting the core values of being Maka-Diyos,
Maka-tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa;
Bridge the gap of diversity whenever or wherever felt and experienced. Be an instrument of
goodwill, kindness and equality with a welcoming spirit towards every individual you encounter. Finally,
Balance your dreams and ambitions to that of the vision and mission of the Department of
Education and that you are the Filipinos dreamed of, who passionately love your country and would
contribute meaningfully to building it using your developed potentials.
Inspired by playwright George Bernard Shaw… start dreaming things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’
and in God’s loving grace, you can make a difference.
