There is no doubt that your parents are beaming with pride and honor this very day knowing that they have instilled a legacy in your lives in which all of you will carry on. With this year’s theme: “Saktong Buhay: Sa de-Kalidad na Edukasyon Pinanday”, it has been said that education should be every child's right but nowadays it’s been treated as a privilege. Consider yourself blessed for obtaining quality education that will serve as a pillar for your future endeavors. Don't let it go to waste. Explore and expand your horizon. Instill in your mind that learning doesn't stop during your graduation day, everyday is an opportunity to educate yourself more for the endless possibilities this temporal world can offer. I am very much certain that paving your way for this very day has never been easy. Inevitable circumstances and declared hardships dressed as humps sometimes derailed your determination to go through it yet you have this unwavering mindset that you have endured all the bumpy rides to be where you are right now. But let it be known also that there's more to come, continue to clothe yourselves with that armor and claim victory for the real battle has just began this very moment. Your hard work is not only the factor of making it this far. Your parents are the ones who supported you all the way. Thus, it is just fitting to give them the act of gratitude they deserved. The LGU officials also are our strong support to lean on for all the activities done in our institution. With them, the goals of EFA are and will be excellently achieved.
