A celebration of achievement, resilience, and dreams unfolded as Cabatuan National High School successfully held its 9th Graduation and Moving-Up Exercises, bringing together graduates, completers, faculty, parents, and distinguished guests in a heartfelt ceremony last March 30, 2026 at the school cultural ground, marking the culmination of the School Year 2025โ2026
The momentous occasion began with a Thanksgiving Mass at St. Anthony De Padua Church at exactly 3:00 PM, where students and attendees offered prayers of gratitude for the guidance and blessings received throughout their academic journey. The solemnity of the mass set a reflective tone, preparing everyone for the meaningful rites ahead.
Following the mass was the processional march, featuring the graduates and completers clad in their togas, alongside the faculty and staff of Cabatuan National High School. They were joined by the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent and the invited guest speaker, forming a dignified procession that symbolized the transition of students into a new chapter of their lives.
The formal program commenced with the entrance of colors, led by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, instilling a sense of patriotism and pride. This was followed by an invocation delivered by Maโam Lynnie Alican, setting a solemn and hopeful atmosphere. The singing of the Division Hymn and the Bagong Pilipinas Hymn echoed throughout the venue, uniting the audience in shared aspirations for a better future.
A recital of the Department of Education Quality Policy, led by Maโam Hanzel Acquiat, reaffirmed the institutionโs commitment to providing quality education. The welcome remarks were then delivered by Class Salutatorian Cherry Mae Capoquian, who graduated with highest honors. In her speech, she expressed gratitude and reflected on the collective journey of Batch 2026.
Subsequently, Maโam Cecilia Doria, Principal-in-Charge of Palapag 1 District, read the message of the Secretary of Education, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and perseverance in achieving success.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was the presentation of candidates for graduation and completion, where Cabatuan National High School proudly announced 48 graduates and 47 completers for this academic year. The candidates were formally confirmed by Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Sir Rey Bulawan of the Division of Northern Samar.
In his message, Sir Bulawan introduced the upcoming โStrengthened Senior High Schoolโ program, giving students and parents a glimpse of what to expect in the next academic year. He also commended the school for its exceptional performance in various competitions, particularly in the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC). โMalakas kayo sa DSPC, even though maliit lang ang school niyo pero ang dami niyong panalo sa DSPC,โ he remarked, recognizing the schoolโs remarkable achievements despite its size.
Following his address, Maโam Cherie Tendoy formally introduced the guest speaker, Ms. Daina Lec Pajanostan, RFP, a proud alumna of Cabatuan National High School. In her inspiring speech, Ms. Pajanostan emphasized the transformative power of education and the importance of dreaming beyond oneโs circumstances. โMahirap maging mahirap, pero mas mahirap maging mahirap na walang pangarap,โ she shared, leaving a profound impact on the graduates and completers as she encouraged them to persevere despite challenges.
The ceremony continued with heartfelt messages of gratitude from the students. Eunice Gonzaga, a completer with high honors, delivered her speech, followed by Class Valedictorian Yeoj Ivan Giray, who also graduated with highest honors. In his address, Giray inspired his fellow graduates with his powerful message: โDo not limit your dreams. Do not be afraid to take the risk. Because sometimes, the most amazing journey starts when you simply say โyesโ to an opportunity.โ His words resonated deeply with the audience, reflecting the spirit of courage and ambition among the graduates.
The awarding of medals and diplomas followed, recognizing the academic excellence and hard work of the students. Proud parents and teachers witnessed the long-awaited moment as graduates and completers received their honors and certificates.
Adding an emotional touch to the program, the graduates and completers sang their graduation song, โSaranggola,โ symbolizing enduring friendships despite the different paths they will take in the future. This was followed by the pledge of loyalty to their alma mater, led by Juan Colima, a student with high honors.
A touching tribute to parents was then presented through the song โEverything I Own,โ expressing gratitude for their unwavering support and sacrifices. The ceremony also recognized outstanding students from Grades 7, 8, 9, and 11, highlighting the schoolโs continuous commitment to excellence across all levels.
The program concluded with closing remarks from school principal, Mrs. Flora C. Alican.
