Introduction of the Speaker:
This year’s graduation theme is “K-12 Graduates: Molded through a resilient educational
foundation”. Through education, individuals acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are
essential for personal and professional success. TugES graduates have faced and overcome
various obstacles and challenges in their more than 6 years journey in elementary education.
They have been exposed, both inside and outside the classroom, which have helped shape their
character to continuously learn in a rapidly changing world.
To talk more about the theme, we invited a very special guest to inspire all of us. And to
introduce our Guest Speaker, let us welcome back on stage our dear principal Dr. Ronald F. Aba-
a.
