BES Virtual Teachers’ Day Celebration

October 5, 2021 I 3:00 PM
Via Google Meet

October 5, 2021, We celebrate the National Teachers' Day as UNESCO have designated
October 5 of every year as National Teachers’ Day (NTD) and World Teachers’ Day (WTD) in
commemoration & recognition of the importance of teachers and their hard work.
Although the teachers couldn’t conduct a face-to-face celebration due to strict
restrictions, the Balanga Elementary School celebrates Teachers’ Day virtually for the second
time. A lot of pupils, parents, and other stakeholders want to show their appreciation to their
teachers on this day so with the initiation of the GPTA Officers, SPG Officers, and Faculty
Officers, SDO Balanga, they were able to provide simple gifts and tokens of appreciation for the
teachers on this day. To avoid mass gathering, each grade level was scheduled to get their gifts
from the COBNHS in the morning. Everyone was really grateful for these token of appreciation
like T-Shirt from Mr. Christopher Dizon, the GPTA President, food, mugs, and school supplies
from the different sponsors.
As a treat to teachers, the Faculty Officers and Officer of the month prepared a simple
virtual celebration which is filled with surprises, games and raffle so teachers can enjoy on this
day via Google Meet at 3:00 pm.
With Mrs. Auggie Santiago as emcee for the day, she started the program by greeting
everybody and acknowledging the special guests that will give special messages to the teachers.
The program started with a prayer via AVP, then the Roll Call followed. Each grade level was
asked to think of one word that describes them as teachers. After checking if everyone is already
in the platform, A welcoming remarks was given by the OIC-Principal, our OIC-Assistant
Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Ilynne S. Samonte. She greeted everyone a Happy
Teachers’ Day and shared an inspiring stories of teachers who were put in a very difficult and
struggling situation, but still their passion for teaching and eagerness to teach is high. She relates
that to the situation of the teachers in our school. Even though the teachers are put in a difficult
situation, they are still passionate to teach.
After Dr. Ilynne Samonte, As our new Area Supervisor, Dr. Ellen Macaraeg, the
Education Program Supervisor in Kindergarten, also gave a Message to the teachers of BES and
greet them a Happy Teachers’ Day. The teachers then welcome her in the school and tell her a
happy teachers’ day too.

The teachers of Balanga Elementary School were all very lucky as they were given a
Video Message by Balanga City Councilor, Mrs. Christian Manalaysay a Happy Teachers’ Day
and some words to thank the teachers and give appreciation.
Also, in the platform, the Vice Mayor of Balanga City, Hon. Vianca Gozon was able to

lot of pupils as she experiences it with his son. What more if the teachers teach a lot of pupils.
She thanked the teachers for their service as going to schools in the distribution of modules can
be very risky for their health so she salutes all the teachers. Lastly, Ma’am Tara Ann
