Another speech for my Uncle...

SPEECH FOR SAN PASCUAL, LIBON HIGHSCHOOL
MARCH 28, 2008
THEME: THE FILIPINO GRADUATES: CELEBRATING ACHIEVEMENTS, PURSUING OPPORTUNITIES

A PLEASANT DAY TO EVERYONE!

Before I proceed, I would like to send my respects to our energetic principal ___________________, to the teaching and non-teaching personnel, the PTA officers and members, the barangay council of San Pascual headed by ________________________, our guests and visitors, the beaming parents, the graduates, I salute you!

Graduation day is a day that is filled with mixed emotions, naaalala ko pa noon nung ako rin ay grumadweyt tulad niyo , hindi lang ako ang excited at may halong nerbiyos nung araw na yun, pati mga magulang ko… (A brief story about your experience during your high school graduation, when, what school, etc)

Today’s theme is very much appropriate to each graduate and parents. THE FILIPINO GRADUATES: CELEBRATING ACHIEV EMENTS, PURSUING OPPORTUNITIES. Truly, as your theme espouses, let us celebrate this achievement of yours, you have finished four grueling years of hard work as high school students, baka yung iba higit pa sa four years, pero ang importante nakapagtapos pa rin. Let us celebrate this day by first thanking God… Let us not forget that! For the graduates let us celebrate this day by thanking our parents! Look into their eyes and from the bottom of your hearts say thank you and hug them! Let us celebrate this day by thanking our teachers, kahit na yung binabansagan niyong terror, pasalamatan tabi… For our teachers helped mold us into who we are now and to where we will be. Thank your classmates, your schoolmates, your gf/bf, your crushes, your janitor, si tiya sa kantin at mga tindahan sa labas, lahat ng naging parte ng yung high school life! Because without them your secondary years will never be complete! Remember this – having an attitude of gratitude is one of the secrets to success!

But graduating from high school is not only about celebrations, it is also about facing a new challenge! A new future of pursuing opportunities! We all know that generally, everybody’s dream is to go to college, because that is where much more opportunities abound. Hope you have already taken your entrance exams and applied for a course that is your liking. But in reality others will not make it due to financial constraints. Sa mga graduates ngayong araw na ito dapat maging mature na tayo, don’t expect everything from your parents, from the government, today as graduates let us help them! For those na hindi kaya ng mga parents pag paaralin look for ways na makapag aral tayo. Meron tayong Libon Community College, na malapit lang naman kaya lesser ang operational cost, isa pa ay mayroong scholarship sa LiCom ang ating pro-education na Gobernador – Gobernador Joey Salceda! We can become working students to help our family. Ladies and gentlemen we all know that life is not a bed of roses, but with God and a proper mind set, I do believe everything will be fine!

Let me finish my speech with an excerpt from a song:
Walk on… Walk on…
With faith in your heart…
And you’ll never walk alone…
Yes, You’ll never walk alone…

To the parents and graduating class… walk on… have faith in God, in yourself, we might face hardships and difficulties but those obstacles may be looked upon as challenge and inspiration to walk on… to succeed…

Thank you very much! Facing you is such a moving experience for me!
Again… Congratulations!
Mabalos!
Albay mabuhay!
