My warmest congratulations to all the graduates and completers of DepEd Northern Samar Division for School Year 2023 – 2024.

You have been the source of pride and joy of your parents and your loved ones. You have displayed an admirable act of audacity and tenacity. You have persevered despite the trials and difficulties you encountered. I am with you on this occasion of triumph and grand celebration. Truly, you have all arrived at one destination, your Graduation and Moving-up Ceremonies.

Dear graduates and completers, the theme of this year’s End-of-School-Year (EOSY) Rites, ‘Kabataang Pilipino Para sa Matatag na Kinabukasan ng Bagong Pilipinas’ strongly evokes a vision of what tomorrow brings. Life is full of uncertainties and at the same it offers a lot of opportunities. Learn to adapt to the changing society and seize every moment to learn, to grow, and to find meaning and purpose of your existence.

Education is what we bank on as one nation. The skills, knowledge and values formation you have acquired are all essential in securing a brighter future for this country. We rely much on your creativity. We trust in your confidence. And we appreciate your contribution as the great ‘Generation Z’. Together, if utilized for one common goal, we shall rise above any obstacles and threats.

As you transition to the next chapter of your academic journey, I only wish the best of luck. Always remember the lessons you have learned from your teachers and mentors. Remain steadfast, resolute and resilient.

You are the Ninorte-Samarnon Filipino youth, the descendants of the great Agustin Sumoroy, a true-blooded Ibabaonon, and your education is what we count on the most.

Padayon… ngan Lupad, Norte!
