III. Narrative Report

“ A good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for
others.” For so many years, teaching profession has always been a human
service/mission rather than a job. Therefore, it is just right to give at least a day for
teachers to celebrate their worth.

Every year we celebrate the teachers’ month starting on September 5 to

October 5. It is held annually to commemorate teachers’ organizations worldwide.
Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 242 Entitled Declaring the Period from
September 5 to October 5 Every Year as National Teacher’s Month as Republic Act
10743 entitled Declaring the 5th Day of October of Every Year as National Teacher’s
Day Celebration by the UNESCO.This year’s theme is “Guro Kabalikat sa Pagbabago “.

The celebration aims to:

a. Honors those who are in the teaching profession.

b. Take the occasion as an opportunity in building the image of teaching as an attractive

and fulfilling profession.
c. Acknowledge and give emphasis on the crucial role, loyal service and dedicated
commitment of teachers in developing globally-minded citizen, nurturing families,
strengthening communities and building the nation.

d. Generate widespread support and assistance for teachers.

e. Revitalize the image of and respect for teaching as a vocation by increasing public
awareness on the value of teachers in the Philippine society.

All public and private elementary and secondary schools including the
districts, divisions and regional offices are enjoined to follow the synchronized
programs, projects and activities.

their might as tributes. Everyone greeted the teachers a very happy teachers’ day and
gave them letters, flowers, gifts and tokens of appreciation. To end the day right, the
teachers gathered in the school quadrangle. They send their hopes, dreams and wishes
for the teachers as well as their pupils. Everyone had high spirits and was very delighted
to become part of the celebration.
