As Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes
sweat, determination, and hard work.” People need to work hard in order to achieve
their goals but there is no magic can spells that can make the way easier in doing so.
Reaching success relies on individuals’ effort. While facing reality, it challenges and set us
to underlying with specified procedure that will consumed time.

My humblest respect to our most dynamic Administrators of Ubay I District headed

by our Public Schools District Supervisor, Dr. Christopher Bamba, to our supportive
stakeholders, the barangay Council headed by our Barangay Captain Honorable Saul
Pino, to our hardworking and dedicated Teachers of Fatima Elementary School headed
by our School Head Sir Anatolio Caderao, to our beloved Parents, to my co-graduates,
friends, ladies and gentlemen, let me greet you a wonderful day!

Time passes so fast. The laughter and tears, stumble and fall, and discussions and
games we’ve spent through these six years of primary school endeavor finally come to the
point of closing the theatrical curtains. What will be left are only those experiences and
memories that we have shared through. Embodying the fact that once in our lifetime, we
became part of Fatima Elementary School.

Ladies and gentlemen, I honestly didn’t expect that we will perform this ceremony
face-to-face amidst the situation we are currently in. Who would have thought that after
two consecutive years of either online or no Graduation Day, we come to this particular
moment? The point when we can actually put pride in ourselves by wearing togas,
walking towards the designated stage, and receiving our diplomas and awards. It feels
great, right?

Lahat ng ito ay hindi natin makakamit kung wala ang tulong ng ating Poong
Maykapal. Alam kong hindi lamang ako ang taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa Kaniya
kundi pati na rin kayo. Kayong naririto, kasama ko sa pagdiriwang. Amang Panginoon,
maraming salamat po.

Hindi din naubos ang aking lubos na pasasalamat sa aking pamilya laong-lao na sa
aking mga magulang. Ma, Pa salamat po sa walang sawang suporta, gabay at
pagmamahal na ipinaramdam ninyo sa akin. Sa pamamagitan ninyo’y natahak ko na
ang isang yugto ng aking buhay.

Sa lahat ng mga guro ng paaralang ito, tanggapin ninyo po ang pasasalamat

naming. Dami naming mga mag-aaral ang mga bagay na inyong inalay. Ang mga aral,

asal, dugo’t pawis, pati na ang hindi masusukat na pasensya. Ma’am Karen Grace
Lasaca, maraming salamat po Ma’am. Hinding-hindi ko po kayo malilimutan.

Sa mga pasaway kong mga kamag-aral, magbago na kayo. Huwag nang maging
sakkit sa ulo. SAlamat din pala sa pagbuo ng buhay ko bilang isang bata. Nawa’y
walang susuko sa atin sa pag-abot ng ating mga pangarap. Huwag tayong mawawalan ng
pag-asa. Laban lang!

Matud pa sa atong Pambansang bayani nga si Dr. Jose Rizal nga kitang mga
kabataan ang paglaum sa nasud. Maong atong ipakita sa tanan nga sakto kini. Nga
bisan ang mga bata nga sama nato makitaan og kaugmaon nga mamahimo tang mayo
nga magadumala sa umaabot nga panahon. Nga bisan lisod ang atong mga maagian,
malampos nato kini. Busa, mubarug ta ug magpalambo sa atong kaugalingon aron
puhon andam na kita sa pagbansay sa nagkadaiyang mga butang ug kahimtang sa
Pilipinas.

In the school, lessons are given and discussed before we took the tests. Thus, we are
quite ready and the outcome is foreseeable. Life, on the other hand, gives tests first and
the results will portray the various lessons one can learn. There is no certainty to
everything.

Remember, every material is done to make certain purposes. A specific goal to

achieve great success. Even the longest journey starts with a single step which is an open
opportunity for mastering talents ang furthering skills. Don’t worry, the goodbyes we’re
going to utter, today is not the end but it is the actual starting point for a new endeavor
we’re going to take.

Graduates! Spread your wings and soar towards the horizon! Let us carry the
teachings of Fatima Elementary School! Congratulations to all of us!
Mabuhay ang Batch 2022 Graduates!
