To our schools division superintendent, Dr. Josephine L.

Fadul, Assistant schools division superintendent,

Dr. Melanie P. Estacio, to our very active and supportive school principal, Daniel S. Tababa and assistant
to the principal Evelyn P. Dayo, teachers, parents, stakeholders, schoolmates, ladies and gentlemen,
good morning! Today marks another success stories in overcoming the challenges of education in the
new normal in the lives of Grade VI students for the school year 2020-2021. When Covid 19 hits us, it is
like we do not know how to take a single step or action in facing the new normal. Do we have to stay
forward or stay behind and be eaten whole of this global crisis? The answer is hard to fathom, but
somehow knowing that we are not alone, we adapted to changes, we fought the challenges, we faced
our fears and somehow survived. With the full support of the Department of education, Division of
Tagum City, our school, Visayan Village central Elementary School, Teachers and especially our parents
and guardians, we have reached our destination today. Despite the challenges of Covid 19 pandemic, we
all have the right to rejoice and be proud of ourselves. It is just a little disappointing that we won't have
a typical graduation ceremony, but we can't change the conditions we're in right now. We already have
learned to adapt to the New normal in our lives. What we can do is select how we respond to it as we
move on in life. It can be difficult to anticipate what life might be like as time passes.

The only certainty we have is that time passes, and that the future arrives. We might take the pandemic
as an excuse not go forward in life, we can utilize it to motivate us to find our purpose. In behalf of the
graduating class 2020-2021 of Visayan Village Central Elementary School, I welcome you all to our virtual
graduation. Thank you everyone for the support and may you stay with us until the end of the program.
Let us remember, we are all in this together and, we will get through with this pandemic-together. Have
a blessed day everyone! God bless us all and stay safe!
