2/27/2008 Graduation: the beginning of a journey to infinite possibilities

I salute the graduating class of 2008!

As you celebrate the achievements borne by your diligence, perseverance, and dedication to your studies, I encourage you to look back with sincere gratitude to the institution that nurtured your quest for learning.

Graduation is not the end but rather the beginning of a journey to infinite possibilities and opportunities. Always bear in mind that faith, hardwork, determination, and fair plays are keys to success. Never forget the wise guidance of your parents, the patience and persistence of your teachers who constantly inspire you to pursue your ambitions.

You are now where you are because of your personal investment and the full support of your family, your community. Soon, you will join the multitude of aspiring Filipinos who will run the economy, take the helm of the government and raise the next generation. We at DepEd wish you the best. Continue to learn and build your capacity to empower yourself and help push the country forward.

Congratulations and Mabuhay!
