MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOLS DIVISION SUPERINTENDENT
My warmest congratulations to the graduates and
completers of School Year 2024-2025! Today, we celebrate not only
your academic achievement but also your resilience, dedication, and
commitment to learning despite the many challenges along the way.
To our dear Dinagatnon learners—your journey to this
milestone has been anything but easy. Many of you have braved long
walks under the scorching sun or heavy rain just to reach school. Some
have crossed rivers and climbed hills, determined to receive the
education you deserve. Others have balanced studying with household
responsibilities, helping your families while still excelling in class. I see
and understand these challenges deeply—as your Schools Division
Superintendent, I carry them in my heart. Your perseverance
demonstrates the indomitable spirit of the Dinagatnon learner—strong,
determined, and unyielding in the face of adversity.
To our devoted teachers, especially those assigned in last-
mile schools and geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas, I
recognize and genuinely appreciate your sacrifices. You have traveled
great distances, endured harsh conditions, and embraced the challenge of teaching in the most remote areas of our
province. Yet, despite the difficulties, you have never wavered in your mission to shape the minds and hearts of our
learners. Your dedication is the reason why hope thrives in every classroom, no matter how far it may be. You are
the lifeblood of our education system, and today, we honor your relentless commitment to making quality education
accessible to all.
To the parents and guardians, your love and support have been the steady foundation upon which these
graduates have built their dreams. You have worked tirelessly—many of you toiling under the sun, fishing in our seas,
or farming our lands—to ensure that your children receive the education they need to secure a better future. Your
sacrifices do not go unnoticed and we celebrate you today as well.
To our stakeholders and community leaders—our partners, thank you for standing with us in our pursuit
of educational excellence. Your continuous support, whether through programs, resources, or guidance, has played
a crucial role in nurturing a generation that values unity and progress. Together, we are shaping a "Henerasyon ng
Pagkakaisa," one that stands as a beacon of hope for a better and stronger Dinagat Islands.
Graduates, as you step forward into new beginnings, carry with you the lessons of resilience, perseverance,
and unity. Keep paddling forward with the same determination that brought you here today. Let your
dreams take flight, and may you always remember that no challenge is too great for a heart that is willing
to strive.
Mabuhay ang Henerasyon ng Pagkakaisa! Mabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas! Mabuhay ang mga nagsipagtapos
ng School Year 2024-2025!
