My warmest greetings to the Class of 2023 for the successful
culmination of your academic endeavors!
This milestone attests to the hard work and perseverance you have exemplified as you embark on another
journey leading you to the realization of your aspirations of a better life and a better future.
I join your families and academic communities in celebrating this achievement.
We recognize their valuable role in your growth and development as well-rounded individuals — preparing
you to face the demands of higher learning or navigate the complexity of life as successful professionals.
I am with you in forging a path toward progress even as you continue to live by the tenets that have guided
you in your academic training and inspired you to pursue excellence as young leaders.
May the knowledge and skills you have gained serve as your springboard for greater success and inspire
you to become catalysts of transformative social growth within your respective communities.
I hope you will realize the depth of your potential and the power that you now possess as young educated
Filipinos — and use this not only to achieve your dreams and change your lives for the better, but also help our
fellow Filipinos and our country.
As future leaders and builders of our nation, may you become persistent, determined, and committed to
the fight for peace, security and stability, the ending of poverty, the campaign to give Filipino children access to
basic education, the protection of the environment, the promotion of health and nutrition, and many other
challenges that we are facing today.
Consistent with our vision in the MATATAG agenda, we will continue to promote programs and uphold
reforms that will nurture resilient mindsets so that we can hone young Filipinos who have the capacity and
resiliency to thrive in challenging circumstances.
The grit and resilience of Filipino learners amid the difficulties of everyday life will continue to inspire us
and empower us in building an education system that responds to the changes of our time.
Through an inclusive education that is forged by a positive learning environment, I am optimistic that we
can continue to produce competent young citizens like you who will help steer our nation’s path to sustainable
development.
Together with our academic partners in all education levels, let us remain committed to promoting our
youth’s strong sense of nationalism so they can be part of a productive and responsible citizenry that will help
chart the path of our nation’s growth.
Again, congratulations to the Class of 2023!
May you continue to pursue your ambitions with zeal, persistence, and excellence and use it to create a
better future for all.
Sama-sama tayong magsumikap abutin ang ating layunin: Bansang makabata, Batang makabansa.
Lahat para sa Diyos, bayan, at pamilyang Pilipino.
Shukran.

 Congratulations to our graduates, and to our recipients of the
Philippine Senate Gold Medal Award for Academic Excellence!

The past few years have posed great difficulties upon our students – not only in terms
of the technological and financial challenges of remote and hybrid learning, but also in terms
of the mental toll from the pandemic.

And yet, you have been steadfast in your desire to learn and to grow, and you should
be very proud of successfully teaching this milestone, despite all hardships. This achievement
is all the better for being shared with your families and loved ones, whose sacrifices allowed
you to get where you are today.

This determination that you have developed throughout the tumult of the past few years
is a valuable life lesson in itself, and I am hopeful that it will carry you through life the same
way it carried you through your studies.

I wish you all the best as you forge your path forward, and find your calling.
Congratulations!
