Our Guest of honor, parents, friends, school mates. My dear co-graduates, teachers, staff, school administration, headed by Dr. Eulalia I. Marquez, District Supervisor Imus, Cavite, Consultant. Mr. Arcangel Marquez, President. Ms. Jadelee I. Marquez, Executive Vice-President. The Board of Trustees, Ladies and Gentlemen.. A very pleasant afternoon! Today is a memorable day for all of us because we have just ended an episode in our lives elementary school life. Now, we are about to start a new chapter of our journey, the high school. Jose Rizal once said, The youth is the hope of the motherland. We studied in Great Mercy Academy so we could be equipped with adequate knowledge and skills in preparation for important roles we have to play in society someday, and most specially, to turn into reality the prophecy of our national hero, that we, indeed can be the hope of our beloved country, The Philippines. Now, I could simply say that we are empowered and productive student that could face new challenges towards new horizon. For I believe, that we are now equipped of all the things we need based from the experiences and trainings we had undergone from our Alma Mater. My dear co-graduates, the first step has been successful. Ika nga, the roots of education is bitter, but the fruit it bears is very sweet. The journey is long and laden with thorns but our accomplishments in this school are very rewarding. The patience and dedication each of us has shown throughout our 6 years in the elementary are those what made us heroes like Jose Rizal. Our graduation today is the first of the series of accomplishments that we will surely achieve with the guidance of our parents and people around us. Everything in this world has a beginning. In our case, we have just accomplished the beginning. We have started the first right move. Hence, there is no reason why we should fail in our future undertakings.
Of course, we will not have been able to reach this stage without the people who helped us and who, without any reservations and expecting nothing in return,
guided us in our quest for knowledge. To them, we owe a lot of gratitude. No amount of words can fully express how much we appreciate what they have done for us. We just hope that we will be able to compensate for all their sacrifices. To our dear teachers who taught us not only the lesson in the book but also taught us lessons in real life, we are most thankful to Mrs. Angelina Leyba, our adviser who is very supportive to us; Mr. Khen Garcia who molded our hidden talents into reality, especially in dancing; Ms. Jocelyn Descartin, our Home Economics teacher who taught us the basics of home life; Ms. Connie Jimena, our Science and MAPE teacher who supported us since we were grade 5 until our graduation today; Mrs. Emily Castro, our Filipino teacher who guided us in our studies and to Ms. Lara Christie Omaa, the lovely teacher of NKPs. We are very thankful to all of you. To our parents, who are always beside us since our first day in school, we share with you our first taste of victory. There will be more years of struggle. But we are confident that we will triumph because we have parents like you. We cannot give financial or material thins at this point. We can only give you the joy, happiness, and respect that you deserve. Thank you for being responsible parents to us. We shall not be here in this worlds without you. We know the sacrifices you made just to send to send us to school. To this, we are very grateful. To papa and Mama, Atty. Aonuevo, mommy, please raise. I have witnessed your sacrifices and struggles in rearing me. Thank you very much. High school life is the first step in our ladder of success. We do not know what will happen next. But if we have an aim, a goal, it will make our dreams come true. We need to continue studying and lets make this a pledge for the new generation. Lets make goodbye to our old selves and say hello to the new we. But always remember: be Empowered and Productive!
