Magandang umaga po sa ating lahat!

Una sa lahat, nais ko pong batiin ang ating mga butihing guro, ang masisipag nating
magulang, ang mahal naming punongguro, mga panauhing pandangal, at higit sa
lahat, ang ating mga kapwa mag-aaral na naririto ngayong araw. Malugod ko po
kayong binabati ng isang makasaysayang pagdiriwang para sa ika-25 Pagtatapos
ng Primera Klase Elementary School!

Sa araw na ito, nagtitipon tayo hindi lamang upang ipagdiwang ang ating
pagtatapos, kundi pati na rin ang mga tagumpay, pagsisikap, at sakripisyong ating
pinagsikapan upang marating ang puntong ito.

Bilang isang mag-aaral, alam ko po kung gaano kahirap at gaano kasaya ang ating
naging paglalakbay. Ang bawat araling mahirap intindihin, ang bawat pagsusulit na
pinagpuyatan, at ang bawat proyektong pinaghirapan—lahat ng ito ay nagbigay sa
atin ng mga mahalagang aral na hindi lamang sa eskuwelahan magagamit, kundi
pati na rin sa tunay na buhay.

Gusto ko rin pong pasalamatan ang ating mga guro na walang sawang gumabay sa
atin. Kayo po ang nagsilbing ilaw sa aming mga landas at inspirasyon upang
ipagpatuloy ang aming mga pangarap. Sa aming mga magulang, maraming salamat
po sa inyong pagmamahal, suporta, at paggabay sa amin sa bawat hakbang ng
aming paglalakbay.

Sa ating mga kapwa mag-aaral, nais ko pong ipaalala na ang pagtatapos na ito ay
hindi ang katapusan kundi ang simula ng mas malalaking hamon at tagumpay.
Patuloy po nating gamitin ang ating mga natutunan upang maabot ang ating mga
pangarap at maging inspirasyon sa iba.

Muli, isang taos-pusong pagbati sa ating lahat! Nawa’y patuloy tayong magsikap,
magpunyagi, at maging mabuting halimbawa sa susunod pang mga henerasyon ng
mag-aaral ng Primera Klase Elementary School.

Maraming salamat po, at mabuhay tayong lahat!

Magandang araw po sa ating lahat—sa ating minamahal na punongguro, masisipag

na guro, mapagmahal na magulang, mga panauhing pandangal, at sa aking mga
kapwa nagtapos.

Ang araw na ito ay puno ng pasasalamat, pagmamalaki, at kagalakan. Isa itong

mahalagang pagkakataon na sumasagisag hindi lamang sa pagtatapos ng ating
mga taon sa elementarya, kundi pati na rin sa panibagong simula ng mga
oportunidad at hamon na darating.

Ang tumayo dito bilang pinakamataas na mag-aaral sa ating klase ay isang

karangalan na lubos kong pinahahalagahan. Ngunit ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi ko
nagawa nang mag-isa. Ito ay bunga ng suporta, pagmamahal, at paggabay ng mga
taong tumulong sa akin sa aking paglalakbay.

Sa ating mga guro, kayo po ay hindi lamang mga tagapagturo. Kayo ay naging
gabay, inspirasyon, at minsan, pangalawang magulang na rin namin. Maraming
salamat po sa inyong kaalaman, pasensya, at tiwala na kaya naming magtagumpay.

Sa aming mga magulang at tagapag-alaga, ang tagumpay na ito ay para rin sa inyo.
Ang inyong sakripisyo, mula sa pag-aalaga sa amin hanggang sa paggabay sa
aming pag-aaral, ay nagdala sa amin sa puntong ito. Taos-puso po kaming
nagpapasalamat sa inyo.

Sa aking mga kapwa mag-aaral, ang tagumpay na ito ay atin lahat. Ang bawat
hirap, bawat aral, at bawat tagumpay na pinagdaanan natin ay nagpatibay sa atin
bilang isang batch. Tandaan natin, ang pagtatapos na ito ay hindi katapusan kundi
simula ng mas malalaking pangarap na nais nating abutin.

At higit sa lahat, maraming salamat po sa Panginoon, na siyang gumabay sa atin sa

lahat ng pagkakataon. Ang Kanyang biyaya at pagmamahal ang nagbigay sa atin ng
lakas upang harapin ang bawat hamon.

Sa ating pag-alis sa mga pintuan ng Primera Klase Elementary School, dalhin natin
ang lahat ng aral na ating natutunan, ang mga pagkakaibigang ating nabuo, at ang
mga pangarap na ating sinimulan. Gamitin natin ang lahat ng ito upang maging
inspirasyon at pagbabago sa ating pamilya, komunidad, at sa buong mundo.

Muli, pagbati sa Batch 2025! Maraming salamat po, at nawa’y patuloy tayong
magtagumpay sa ating mga mithiin!

Good day to everyone—our beloved principal, dedicated teachers, supportive
parents, esteemed guests, and my fellow graduates.

Today is a day filled with gratitude, pride, and joy. It is a moment that marks not just
the culmination of our years in elementary school, but also the beginning of new
opportunities and challenges that await us.

Standing before you today as the top of our class is both a humbling and an
overwhelming experience. This honor is not mine alone—it is a testament to the
collective support, love, and guidance of the people who have shaped this journey.

To our teachers, you have been more than educators. You have been mentors,
cheerleaders, and sometimes even second parents to us. Thank you for sharing
your wisdom, for believing in us when we doubted ourselves, and for pushing us to
be the best versions of who we can be.

To our parents and guardians, your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. From
staying up late to help with projects, to encouraging us when things got tough—
everything you’ve done has brought us to this moment. This achievement is as
much yours as it is ours.

To my fellow graduates, I share this moment with all of you. Each of us has faced
challenges, celebrated victories, and learned from mistakes along the way. We have
proven that hard work, perseverance, and teamwork can lead to success.
Remember, this graduation is not just an ending—it is the start of a new chapter
where we can continue to dream big and aim higher.

Finally, I offer my deepest thanks to God for His guidance and blessings throughout
this journey. Without His light, none of this would have been possible.

As we leave the gates of Primera Klase Elementary School, let us carry with us the
lessons we’ve learned, the friendships we’ve built, and the dreams we’ve nurtured.
Let us strive to make a difference not just for ourselves, but for our families,
communities, and the world.

Congratulations, Batch 2025! Thank you, and may we all continue to soar to greater
heights.

Sa pagtatapos ng makasaysayang araw na ito, bigyan natin ng sandali ang ating

sarili upang balikan ang paglalakbay na nagdala sa atin dito. Ang pagdiriwang na ito
