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 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
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.
This year’s graduates have done a great job of channeling their passions into
endeavors that will enrich their pursuits and advance their respective vocations and
professions.
As you move into the next chapter of education and leave the halls of your alma mater,
it is my hope that you will unceasingly work hard to become active stakeholders in our
nation-building efforts.
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.
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.
Shukran.
