Good Morning everyone especially to our guest speaker,

Mr. Benefredo III Adorna. First of all , I would like to

salute and honor all those who have made this graduation
possible.

To the parents, guardians, families and relatives. This

graduation is your graduation. We offer it to you.
Congratulations and thank you. Let us give them a round
of applause.
Secondly, our dedicated and hardworking teachers,
administrator and staff headed by Ms. Loudette Zacal our
School President and Administrator. This graduation is a
testimony of our success and achievement as educators of
our children. Congratulations and thank you! Let us give
them another round of applause.
Now, let me address you, our dear graduates.
Congratulations to all of you! Before we end this
ceremony, as your vice-principal for academics, I would
like to ask you to remember at least three things: first, is
gratitude, or to be thankful; second is responsibility, or
to continue your studies; and third is obedience, or to
continue following God, your parents and your teachers.
First, be thankful that you have reached this point of your
graduation. Be thankful to your parents, your families,
your teachers, the staff of Fernandez-Zacal Learning
Center, to everyone who have helped you graduate. If you
are thankful, you will be humbled. You know that without
these people, you would not have made it to your
graduation. So be thankful to them, be grateful and be
humble.

Second, be responsible. After grade school, you will

proceed to Junior high School. This August, prepare
yourselves for Junior High School. To be responsible is
also to use what you have learned in Grade School.
Remember your lessons in all your subjects in class. Do
not forget them. Remember your lessons about God- the
verses and scriptures, about the world, about society,
about science, math, language and everything that your
teachers taught you. A Zacallian is responsible for his or
her learning. Use all you have learned to be better boys,
better girls, and better children.
Third and last, be obedient. In Grade School, I hope you
learned how to be obedient, or how to follow the rules and
regulations, how to meet the requirements, your
performance tasks, how to do your assignments, how to
submit your projects on time, how to discipline
yourselves. In Grade School, I hope that you learned how
to be obedient to your teachers, how to be obedient to
your parents at home, to your lolo and lolas, to your
elders, and most especially, how to be obedient to God.
You obey because they know what is best for you. You
obey because they love you and care for you, and also,
you obey because you love and care for them as well. To
be obedient to God, you should know to to pray to God, to
listen to Him and how to be a friend of God. Do you
know how to pray? Kinsa paman diri ang dili kabalo mo
pray? I hope you Fernandez-Zacal Learning Center taught
you how to pray to God.

To summarize, as your Vice Principal for Academics, I

hope that as graduates, you have learned to be grateful or
thankful, how to be responsible and how to be obedient.
One last thing: we hope that in Zacal you learned how to
love- how to love others, to your parents, your family,
how to love God, and how to love yourselves.
You need all of these- gratitude, responsibility,
obedience, and love-in Junior High School and later, in
Senior High School and in College. Today, do not forget
to thank your parents, your family, your teachers, your
classmates and most of all; do not forget to thank God.
Thank you also to our proud parents who are here today!
For sharing your time and for enrolling your children in
Fernandez-Zacal Learning Center Inc.

Congratulations graduates and May God bless us all a

thousandfold.
