A total of 32 youngsters said their goodbyes as students of Gregorio T. Camacho Elementary yesterday morning during a farewell ceremony that recognized their efforts and accomplishments throughout their years as grade school students.
Flanked by parents, family members, school officials, and dignitaries, the students remained calm and collected, perfectly nailing and acing several performances that touched many spectators, including a spectacular singing performance of Munga Engrattu—a tribute to parents that featured the students presenting flowers to parents.
The ceremony also featured a speech by Presiding Judge Robert Naraja, who served as the event’s keynote speaker. Naraja challenged the students to push for a bright future and noted various leaders serving the government who were pupils at the school.
The students also received words of wisdom from GTC Parents/Teachers Association president Candido Taman and GTC principal Manuela A. Babauta.
‘Your enthusiasm for learning and your exceptional academic performance have guaranteed you an outstanding future,” said Babauta. “You are to be commended for the positive example you have set for your peers and high standards you have set for yourself.”
Rovana Joez SN. Decena was conferred the Commissioner’s Award, which is given to the student posting the highest Grade Point Average from fourth to sixth grade.
Celestial Jewel C. Dela Cruz was the proud recipient of the prestigious Principal’s Award, which was awarded to the student with the second highest GPA.
The Presidential Awardees were Andrea D. Tenorio, Nicole C. Tesiro, Remylynn C. Mafnas, Ryan M. Litulumar, Luella Orlando, Ramir T. Balialba, Dominic A. Reyes, Marlon C. Meily, Necita Aldan, and Franco M. Santos.
Other awards, including Presidential Awards for Educational Achievement, Leadership awards, Perfect Attendance awards, and Citizenship awards, were also presented.
