My warmest greetings to the Class of 2023 for the successful culmination of your academic endeavors. This milestone attests
to the hard work and perseverance you have exemplified as you embark on another journey leading you to the realization
of your aspirations of a better life and a better future.I join your families and academic communities in celebrating this

We recognize their valuable role in your growth and development as well-rounded individuals — preparing you to face the
demands of higher learning or navigate the complexity of life as successful professionals. I am with you in forging a path
toward progress even as you continue to live by the tenets that have guided you in your academic training and inspired you
to pursue
excellence as young leaders. May the knowledge and skills you have gained serve as your springboard for greater success and
inspire you to become catalysts of transformative social growth within your respective communities.I hope you will realize
the depth of your potential and the power that you now possess as young educated Filipinos — and use this not only to
achieve your dreams and change your lives for the better, but also help our fellow Filipinos and our
country.As future leaders and builders of our nation, may you become persistent, determined, and committed to the fight
for peace, security and stability, the ending of poverty, the campaign to give Filipino children access to basic education, the
protection of the environment, the promotion of health and nutrition, and many other challenges that we are facing today.
Consistent with our vision in the MATATAG agenda, we will continue to promote programs and uphold reforms that will
nurture resilient mindsets so that we can hone young Filipinos who have the capacity and resiliency to thrive in challenging
circumstances.
The grit and resilience of Filipino learners amid the difficulties of everyday life will continue to inspire us and empower us
in building an education system that responds to the changes of our time. Through an inclusive education that is forged by a
positive learning environment, I am optimistic that we can continue to produce competent young citizens like you who will
help steer our nation’s path to sustainable development.Let this milestone remind us of the indispensable role of education
in charting the course of our youth’s future and in harnessing their potential to become outstanding individuals.
This year’s graduates have done a great job of channeling their passions into endeavors that will enrich their pursuits and
advance their respective vocations and professions. As you move into the next chapter of education and leave the halls of
your alma mater, it is my hope that you will unceasingly work hard to become active
stakeholders in our nation-building efforts.Together with our academic partners in all education levels, let us remain
committed to promoting our youth’s strong sense of nationalism so they can be part of a productive and responsible citizenry
that will help chart the path of our nation’s growth.Again, congratulation to the Class of 2023!
