 2019 Graduation Message of DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones
(Filipino)

Mainit na pagbati ang inihahatid ko sa mga tunay na bida ng okasyong

ito— ang mga graduates at completers ng Taong Pampaaralan 2018-2019!
Tunay ngang ang araw na ito ay nakagagalak na pagdiriwang, hindi
lamang dahil sa pagtatapos ng isa na namang taon ng kaalaman at
pagkatuto, ng pagsisikap at pagtitiyaga ng ating mga mag-aaral. Ito rin ay
ang muling pagsasara ng matagumpay na kolaborasyon ng mga
magulang, guro, opisyal at manggagawa ng edukasyon, miyembro ng
komunidad, at mga partners at stakeholders na may iba’t ibang
pinagmulan, kultura, at kinagisnan.
Ang tema para sa taong ito, “Pagkakaisa sa Pagkakaiba-iba: Kalidad na
Edukasyon para sa Lahat,” ay naglalayong tumalakay sa ating
katapatan at pagmamahal sa ating kultura—ito man ay iba’t iba—na
sumasalamin sa ating kaluluwa at nagbibigkis sa ating mga
mamamayan. Muli’t muli ay atin nang napatunayan na magkakaiba
man tayo ng pinagmulan, katayuan, relihiyon, o paniniwalang politikal,
maaari tayong magkaisa sa pagkamit ng iisang layunin—ang
paghahatid ng edukasyong de-kalidad, abot-kaya, napapanahon at
mapagpalaya para sa lahat
Habang ang Kagawaran ng Edukasyon ay patuloy na sumasabay
sa daloy ng makabagong panahon, patuloy nitong nililinang ang
mga 21st century learners, na hindi lamang kritikal at makabago
mag-isip sa larangan ng science, mathematics, at robotics, kundi
masining at malikhain din, at maaaring magtagumpay sa mga
larangang may kinalaman sa pagpapayaman ng ating diwa at
pagkakakilanlan bilang isang lahi.
Makaaasa kayo na sa pamamagitan ng K to 12 Basic Education
Program, ang inyong Kagawaran ay patuloy na magsisikap hasain
ang mga susunod na pinuno at tagapagtaguyod ng ating bansa sa
isang lipunang yumayakap sa pagkakaiba-iba, kasama na ang
pagsubok at pakinabang na kaagapay nito. Naniniwala ako na
anumang landas ang kanilang tatahakin, ang ating mga graduates at
completers ay hindi makalilimot sa kanilang pagiging Filipino at sa
lahat ng bumubuo sa diwa nito—ang ating kultura, talento,
kasaysayan at kakayahang mapagtagumpayan ang mga hamon ng
buhay.

Muli, maligayang pagbati at mabuhay!
