StudentsUndersecretary Epimaco V. Densing III of the Department of Education (DepEd) told graduates of Catanduanes State University (CatSU) on Monday, July 10, to join together in upholding Filipino childrenโs welfare and contribute to nation-building, no matter the scale.
"Sama-sama tayong tumindig para sa ating bansa, para sa isang bansang makabata, batang makabansa," said Usec. Densing in his video-recorded keynote address, anchored on DepEdโs MATATAG program.
"Gawin natin ang mga bagay na ito dahil mahal natin ang ating bayan, para sa bata, para sa bayan, at para sa tunay na pagbabago," he added, leaving the choice to the 1,103 graduates of Cluster A at CatSUโs 52nd commencement to embody patriotism.
The DepEd undersecretary also reminded the CatSU graduates that as they explore the world, 'remember that we are Filipinos, and we also need to contribute to the growth of our country, no matter how small it is.โ
Before Usec. Densingโs video message, CatSU President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, introduced and called the undersecretary โa dedicated public servant and an advocate for educationโ.
He also expressed with pride that this significant milestone signifies that the CatSU graduates had received the โbest educationโ from the university despite the challenges brought about by the global pandemic.
"Look back to this day, because today you have proven yourself worthyโฆ and to the world that you are survivors," the president said.
"As you meet challenges, remember the love of your parents, the warmth of their embrace, and the knowledge we have shared with you," he added.
As dusk settled, more than
1,000 graduates from the College of Education, College of Business and
Accountancy, College of Health Sciences, and College of Humanities and Social
Sciences, along with their parents, friends, and professors, marched and
crowded the CatSU Front Grounds. #AGC
