Isang mainit na pagbati sa mga nagsipagtapos ng Kindergarten at

Elementarya ngayong taong 2022!

Ang higit sa dalawang taong pakikibaka laban sa isang pandaigdigang
krisis ay isa sa pinakamahirap ngunit pinakapaki-pakinabang na mga taong
naranasan natin. Bagamat sinubok ng pandemya, lahat kayo ay nanatiling
matatag, nagtiyaga, at nagpatunay sa inyong mga sarili sa pamamagitan ng
pagsusumikap, dedikasyon sa inyong pag-aaral, at suporta ng inyong pamilya at
mga mahal sa buhay.
Sa kabila ng malalaking hamon sa sektor ng edukasyon, sinikap ng
DepEd na maipagpatuloy ang edukasyon sa gitna ng pandemya sapagkat
kinikilala nito ang pangunahing karapatan ng bawat bata na matamasa ang sapat
at dekalidad na edukasyon. Isang karangalan na maging bahagi kami sa inyong
paglalakabay tungo sa pagkamit ng inyong mga pangarap. Ang inyong
pagtatapos sa Kindergarten o Elementarya ay simbolo ng inyong hindi
matatawarang katatagan at kasipagan.
Ang tema sa taong ito, "Gradweyt ng K to 12: Masigasig sa mga
Pangarap at Matatag sa mga Pagsubok" ay patunay na walang krisis ang
makasisira sa inyong mga pangarap at hindi kayo magagapi anumang hamon
ang kaharapin ninyo sa buhay. Saludo ako sa inyong katatagan.
Isang malaking hakbang tungo sa pagkamit ng inyong mga pangarap ang
inyong pagtatapos ngayong taon. Nawa’y baunin ninyo ang mga aral ng mga
nagdaang taon at gawin itong inspirasyon upang mas lalo pang patatagin ang
inyong pundasyon ng panghabambuhay na pagkatuto.
Ang daang tatahakin ninyo sa susunod na antas ng edukasyon ay puno ng
iba’t-ibang hamon. Asahan ninyo na nakaalalay ang DepEd sa lahat ng oras at
hindi titigil sa pagtugon sa anumang hamon sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatupad
ng mga programa na may kinalaman sa pagpapaunlad ng kalidad ng edukasyon.
Sa mga magulang at mahal naming mga guro, malaking papel ang inyong
ginampanan upang ihanda ang kinabukasan ng ating mga mag-aaral sa kabila ng
mga hamong dala ng kasalukuyang krisis sa kalusugan. Maraming salamat sa
inyong walang humpay na suporta sa DepEd at sa mga programa nito.
Sa Batch 2021-2022, andito na kayo, nagsumikap, at nakamit ang inyong
layunin. Mas higit ninyong linangin ang inyong mga kakayahan habang
ipinagpapatuloy ninyo ang inyong edukasyon. Saan man kayo dalhin ng inyong
mga pangarap, kasama ninyo ang aming mga panalangin!
Muli, ang aking pinakamainit na pagbati!

Regional Director
My warmest greetings to the school officials, administrators,
faculty members and advisers, teachers, parents, and
guardians of the graduates and completers of School Year
2021-2022! On behalf of the Department of Education (DepEd),
I am proud to celebrate the successes, milestones, and
achievements of this batch’s graduates and promoted students
in this year’s End-of-School-Year rites with the theme “K to 12
Graduates: Pursuing Dreams and Fostering Resilience in the
Face of Adversity.” In the past six years, we committed to our
mandate to enhance the quality of education, broaden its
access, and ensure its relevance in the rapidly changing world.
DepEd endeavored to address each challenge by instituting
programs and reforms in the Department. We have fully
implemented the K to 12 curriculum and the aggressive
reforms of Sulong EduKalidad to produce globally competitive
learners and teachers. We also expanded our mission for
accessible education by strengthening the Alternative Learning
System (ALS) and the Last Mile Schools programs to reach
more Filipinos. Likewise, we also established the National
Academy of Sports (NAS) and Education Futures Unit to create
more opportunities for our learners and anticipate the future of
the education system in the country. Committed to sustaining
this momentum, the Department developed and implemented
the Basic Education-Learning Continuity Program (BE-LCP),
where we offered various learning modalities and produced
award-winning initiatives such as the DepEd TV and DepEd
Commons at the height of the pandemic. Eventually, the
Department held its ground against an unprecedented
challenge in basic education as we progressively expand the
reintroduction of face-to-face classes in the country. Indeed,
education is truly a shared responsibility. This is why we
express our utmost appreciation to our dear parents and
teachers for being our partners in nurturing the youth
throughout the years. To the Class of 2022, resilience is in your
blood. You have survived one of the toughest times in human
history, yet still embraced education as your primary tool to
success. I believe that with your passion and purpose, you can
reach your dreams and change the world. May you keep on
harnessing and imparting wisdom as together, we will build a
nation of competent global citizens and future leaders.

It gives me so much joy and fulfillment to express my warm

greetings and felicitations to all the basic education completers and
graduates of School Year 2021- 2022 in the entire DepEd, Schools Division
of Baybay City.
This year has feigned so much challenge to all our learners and
teachers. Their tragic experience brought by the effects of Tropical Storm
Agaton have caused so much pain in everyone’s heart that created an
unstable mental health condition among them. Yet, they remain resilient
and hopeful amidst their depressing situation, thereby embracing
education as their primary tool to success.
Indeed, with this year’s End-of-School-Year rites theme “K to 12
Graduates: Pursuing Dreams and Fostering Resilience in the Face
of Adversity,” our learners, especially the graduates and completers,
have made us proud of their courage to move on and able to celebrate
their successes, milestones and achievements despite the trials and
tribulations encountered. This, I believe, is the essence and character of a
real Baybayanon – able to surpass and address unprecedented challenges
with grit and resilience.
Our unique experiences brought by the unusual mode of
instructions in the new normal has likewise broaden all our pedagogical
perspective of teaching and learning. The new set of learners has been
conditioned to be independent in the way they acquire knowledge and
information, and that teachers should also learn to adapt to this current
societal demand. Thus, we, the key officials of the Schools Division Office
of Baybay City, hereby assure all those who have stake in education, that
we shall continue to maximize our initiatives, as we implement reforms in
our educational system to ensure that our products become globally
competitive and able to meet the demands of the society.
As we continue to endeavor to enhance the quality of education,
broaden its access, and ensure its relevance in the rapidly changing
world, may I invite all our valued stakeholders: school administrators,
teachers, parents, the Local Government Unit officials, and other
education partners to sustain the usual efforts extended in supporting our
institutionalized programs and reforms in the Department. Education is a
shared responsibility. Hence, each of our contributions truly matters.
To the graduates and completers of batch 2022, the wisdom of
being resilient has already been habituated in your system, considering all
the experiences you have gained. Take advantage of them. Make them
the source of your inspiration to bounce back forward from trials and be a
better version of yourselves. I am, therefore, optimistic that with all these
situations that sharpen you as persons and future professionals, you can
certainly reach your dreams and conquer the world.
Congratulations!
