Our brgy. Captain Honorable Dionesio Antoniano
Members of the faculty headed by our teacher in charge Mr. Elden Derutas
Visitors, friends, parents in most importanly our graduates class 2009 Good afternoon.



It is my great honor to speak before you today with a message of hope and encouragement to all of us here.
When I was invited to be your guest speaker this year. At first Iám undecided, but at the back of my mind Iám chalenged and felt excitement to share my experiences. As I watched your parents walk with you side by side, I was reminded of my own graduation in this very school. I can still feel the pride and joy of my parents when I receive my diploma 18 years ago, as a graduate of class 1991. Many years separate us and yet we share the same memories that this great institution gave us.


The theme for this year’s graduation exercises “My Education: My Contribution to the Future” (Edukasyon ko, Handog ko sa Kinabukasan) is a very timely because first we forgot the importance of educations.
The first thing that strikes me about education is knowledge gain. Education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything in life. Education is important because it equips us with all that is needed to make our dreams come true. Education opens doors of brilliant career opportunities. It fetches better prospects in career and growth. Every employer of today requires his prospective employees to be well educated. He requires expertise. Education is important as it teaches us the right behavior, the good manners thus making us civilized.It teaches us how to lead our lives. Education is the basis of culture and civilization. It is instrumental in the development of our values and virtues. Education cultivates us into mature individuals, individuals capable of planning for our futures and taking the right decisions.
And secondly We are Limited Knowledge about Student empowerment. Student empowerment means enabling the students to pursue social and achievement goals. Based on Philippines statistic there are 1.97 million who graduates in elementary. And yet kong aton ning e tan awon ang unahan dili dyod tam aka siguro nga 100 percent sila mo success sa ilang pag skwela tungod sa daghan nga mga hinungdan.
1. Na minyo og sayo
2. Na drop sa ka bugoy kay nadala sa barkada
3. Na drop kay cge og kabag sak
4. Na narbaho na
5. Walay interest
6. Kapubrihon

But “Poverty is not a hindrance to success” I agree with that quotation because In my 31 years of existence in this world. I encountered lots of difficulties and challenges labina sa akong pag skwela sa una. Nahinumdoman nako sa una katong graduation nako sa kinder maglisod kog saka sa stage kay dako kaayo akong sapatos mabilin, akong bag sa una gikan grade 1 hangtod grade 4 nag balik balik. Labi na katong high school ko kapoy kaayo mo mata og sayo kay sa panabo manko adto nag skwela, og sa college nako nga working student ko trabaho sa Jollibee 8:00 a.m. To 2:30 p.m. Then 3:00 to 9:30 pm adto kog skwelahan then matulog ko 2:30 na sa kadlawon ky study pa. but I never give-up because I know that our God will never leave us nor forsake us. We have a bright future if we hold on with faith.

My four secrets C's
1. Continue to dream big
In addition to the future, this is my formula : dream big,Dreams help you to do great things in life. Dreams will help you make the impossible things possible, to set direction in your lives, and to make changes for the better; even better, change the world and make it better. To dream big allows great inventions and discoveries to be made. To dream big puts energy and spark into each day. To dream big makes you continue to seek for excellence in everything you do. Para sa akoa ang pagkahimong Electrical Engineer sa una usa ka dako nako nga pangandoy tungod kay dili manko pariho sa uban nga bright sa tinuod sukad sa akong pagkabata kaisa rako naka honor katong grade one ko pag graduate nako dri naka ribbon ko pero most industrious. Ikaduha nako nga hinungdan kay ni agi kog pag binugoy halos tanang bisyo naagi-an nako. But nag pasalamat ko nga gitagaan pakog higayon nga mag bag-o og didto nagsugod ang akong kinabuhi og pa tarong sa skwela. Wala ko miingon sa inyoha nga sundugon pod to ninyo kay dili dyod maayo nakita nako karon ang mga consequences.


2. Continue to learn

Also Life is a continous learning. so don't stop learning. Learn something new each day. By doing so, you will develop new passions and you will be an interesting person. I don’t want you to be dull. Take responsibility for your successes and your failures. Constant learning not only supplies you with facts, ideas and other forms of information, its also gives you the power to think better in order to make your dreams a reality.Knowledge creates power. The more you know, the more power you can gain. A really powerful person can be a knowledgeable person, too.
Katong first College pako nag segi nakog pangandam sa akong board exam. Naakoy permaninte nga gnadala nga pocket formulas every spare time akong g na familiarize and akong g na memorize og wala ko nag mahay pag sa time na ang board.


3. Choosing the right friends. So choose the right friends carefully. Your future is no greater than your friends. You are known by your friends. There are two traits the right friend does not have. 1. Is not comfortable with evil. 2. Is not worldly. There are also four traits the right friend does have. 1 Saved 2. Fear the Lord 3. Loves you no matter what. 4. Improves you walk.


4. Christ centered student – mean spend time with God, walk with Him, talk with Him, and without God you can do nothing.

Conlusion:
I believe that
“Poverty is not a hindrance to success” Kong gusto mo matupad ninyo ang inyong gipangando ayaw basihi ang imong pag bright, ang imong pag ka adonahan, kong diin ka nag skwela, kondili sa upat ka c.
Continue to dream big. Continue to learn, choosing the right friends, Christ centered student.= Equal success.
I do hope 9 year or eight years from now naay mga professional kaninyo.

Finally..

To the parents and teachers, help your children and students develop their potentials. They need you. They are in the stage of growing up. Help them realize their goals just as you helped me when I was still your student. I am indebted to all of you for inculcating in my mind the importance of education.


Once again good afternoon and congratulations to the graduates...
