WELCOME ADDRESS

To our ever active and dynamic district supervisor, Madam Pamela Songalia
Almanza, to our very own spirited and dedicated school principal, Mrs. Lainez C.
Mendigo, equally respected administrators of Tanauan 2 district, dynamic teachers and
staff, our dear parents, distinguished guests, and fellow graduating class of 2021-2022,
a pleasant afternoon and welcome to the graduation ceremony of Cogon Elementary
School.

The theme for today’s graduation is "Gradweyt ng K to 12: Masigasig sa mga

Pangarap at Matatag sa mga Pagsubok". (K to 12 Graduates: Pursuing Dreams and
Fostering Resilience in the Face of Adversity).

Indeed, resiliency is the key in pursuing our dreams despite this pandemic. Way
back 2020, our ambitions and dreams were threatened. We had no idea when the
covid-19 pandemic would end. Totoo ngang tayo ay sinubok ng pandemyang ito. We all
assumed we'd never go inside a classroom again, and yet here we are, celebrating our
graduation. We are resilient individuals because we have dreams. We still have dreams
and careers to pursue that is why this pandemic will never be a hindrance in pursuing
our goals and aspirations in life.

This is just the beginning. Simula pa lamang ng pag abot ng ating mga
pangarap. Natapos na natin ang anim na taon. At sigurado akong excited na kayo sa
panibagong karanasan na ating mararanasan. Ang araw na ito marahil ang
pinakamasayang araw para sa buhay naming mga estudyante. Ito ang araw kung kailan
nalampasan namin ang isang mahalagang yugto ng aming buhay. Ito ang araw kung
saan matatanggap namin ang bunga ng aming mga pagsisikap. At higit sa lahat, ito ang
araw na nagpapatunay na ang kahirapan ay di kailanman hadlang sa tagumpay.

Alam ko na marami tayong gustong pasalamatan. On behalf of the graduating

class of 2021-2022, nais ko lamang pasalamatan unang una, ang aming mga magulang,
Sa gabay, tiwala at walang sawang pagsuporta sa aming mga pangangailangan. Mahal
namin kayo. Salamat din sa aming mga guro, kasama na ang ating mahal na
punongguro sa pagtuturo ng mga aralin at mga magandang asal na aming babaunin
tungo sa tagumpay. At higit sa lahat, sa poong maykapal sa lahat ng biyaya at lakas na
iyong ipinagkaloob sa amin.
 At this moment, let us celebrate success. So my dear parents, honoured guests,
in behalf of the graduating class. It is my pleasure to welcome you and to witness this
year’s Graduation Ceremony.

Classmates, fellow graduates, I wish you all good luck for the coming
years in our lives. May the years to come be kind to all of us and may God and his
wisdom bless us with success. Thank you very much. Once again, welcome and good
afternoon.
