Sec. Armin Luistro's Messages to 2011 Graduates

My warmest greetings to all our proud graduates and to the school administrators, and staff who have helped our young ones reach this significant milestone in their lives.

Dear graduates, you have worked hard to be at this threshold separating childhood from adolescence and young adulthood. Everything you have learned will be of good use to you in the future.  Your lives are just beginning to open up to many more opportunities for growth in the world.

This year's theme poses a challenge to you, young as you are, to make a positive difference in your respective communities. As "The Graduate:  A Partner Towards Transformational Society, An Answer to Societal Changes," each of you is called to be more aware of the family you are in and the community where your family and school reside.  Those are the worlds larger than your individual selves which you must consider as significant because they sustain your existence.

As you make the giant step towards adolescence, think of what you can do, even in your own little way to help those around you.  As children, be of service to your parents and siblings.  As Filipinos, help other Filipinos.  Learn how to be productive citizens of your communities.

Congratulations on your achievement!  Cherish it.  There will be more.
