PUP-BB celebrates World Teachers’ Day ‘23

The PUP Bansud Branch students showered love and gratitude to their teachers during the celebration of World Teachers' Day 2023 with the theme "Guiding Lights of Education" held at Bansud Gymnasium, October 6.

Ms. Sheryll M. Cane, the PUP-BB Central Student Council (CSC) Vice President has formally made her opening remarks, “Teaching plays an integral part in shaping our lives and nurturing our future, teachers are the real heroes behind our successes,” she said.

As the VP of CSC, Cane took a moment to express her heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers for recognizing and inspiring students beyond their duties and encouraging them to reach their greatest potential.

The celebration highlighted the magnificent and witty collaborative performance of the student leaders from each department such as the Language and Numbers Educator's Association (LANEASS), College of Public Administration Guilds (CPAG), and Bansud Information Technology Society (BITS) wherein each representative effortlessly imitated the appearance, walk, and gesture of each teacher.

Moreover, Dr. Mary Grace B. Mulawin, the Head of Academic Programs reminded students in her remarks to work even harder, to learn from their successes and failures, and to trust in the limitless possibilities that lie ahead their journey as students.

“Always remember na ang aming hangarin ay para lang sa inyong ikabubuti. Pagbutihin ang pag-aaral dahil lahat ng ginagawa namin ay hindi para sa amin, kundi’y para sa inyong kapakanan at kinabukasan,” she stated.

Furthermore, Ma’am Maria Josiefel Ann R. Maapoy, the Head of Student and Services, expressed that what matters the most is the connection that counts, not the given stuff, “We feel the value and appreciation that everyone showed us today, ang pinakamahalaga ay yung maalala niyo kami,” she said.

Mr. Mark Jerome M. Fronda, the CSC President, made the final remarks for the event, "Let us celebrate all the sacrifices that our teachers make every day just to deliver the best teaching we deserve," he said.

The students expressed their appreciation to their teachers by dropping a message in each box provided for them and by giving their gifts and heartfelt messages per organization.

The event was filled with the sincerity of the students for the teachers who strive every day to mold them and to be a better version of themselves through the teacher recognition/awards given to each of them.
