Los Amigos Elementary School, August 26, 2026 — Los Amigos Elementary School welcomed the monitoring team during the Pakig-Ambit activity on August 26, 2026, led by Dr. Lilian Libre, Public Schools District Supervisor of Sta. Ana District, and Ma’am Mary Law Vilbar, Principal-in-Charge of Malabog District.
Dr. Libre was assigned to monitor Curriculum Implementation, while Ma’am Mary Law Vilbar focused on School Governance and Operations. As part of the activity, Dr. Libre and Sir Jim Boy E. Tubigon, Principal III of LAES, served as process observers during the teaching demonstration of Ma’am Renna Ragonton, Grade 3 teacher.

During the post-conference, Dr. Libre expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the LAES family for the warm accommodation and hospitality extended to the monitoring team. She emphasized that monitoring is not merely about evaluating teachers’ performance, but also about recognizing good practices, identifying areas for improvement, and providing appropriate technical assistance.
“Observation is not simply about checking teacher performance but recognizing the good practices, areas of improvement, and giving appropriate technical assistance,” Dr. Libre shared.
Ma’am Vilbar also commended the school for its notable best practices, particularly Read to Learn (RTL) for Literacy and Project NUMERO for Numeracy, recognizing these initiatives as valuable efforts in addressing learners’ literacy and numeracy needs.
Both Dr. Libre and Ma’am Vilbar also appreciated the spacious school environment and conducive learning areas that provide learners with a comfortable and welcoming space for learning. They likewise recognized the positive school practices, including the playing of music during vacant time, which contributes to a pleasant school atmosphere, and the active participation of learners in picking up trash, demonstrating responsibility and care for their school environment.
The post-conference was further enriched by an inspirational message from Sir Pelagio A. Wapaño, Jr., who encouraged the teachers and school personnel to continue giving their best in the performance of their duties and in serving the learners. He emphasized the importance of commitment, dedication, and excellence in education.
Sir Wapaño also commended Sir Jim Boy E. Tubigon, Principal III, for his excellent leadership, recognizing his efforts in guiding the school toward continuous improvement and fostering a positive and productive school environment.
The recognition given to LAES best practices and leadership highlighted the collective efforts of the teaching and non-teaching personnel in creating a school culture grounded in excellence, collaboration, responsibility, and learner-centered service.
The Pakig-Ambit activity served as a meaningful avenue for professional collaboration, reflection, and learning. It provided the school with an opportunity to showcase its strengths, receive constructive feedback, and identify areas for further improvement while sustaining practices that positively impact learners.
The Los Amigos Elementary School family extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Lilian Libre, Ma’am Mary Law Vilbar, Sir Pelagio A. Wapaño, Jr., and the entire monitoring team for their valuable time, guidance, encouragement, recognition, and technical assistance toward the continuous improvement and excellence of LAES.
