PRESENTATION OF FACULTY AND STAFF

It is my honor and privilege to show to you one of the reasons of your sons and daughters
academic, spiritual and emotional growth. These faces and names your about to see and hear
are some of the reasons of an undoubted success of your sons and daughters, also some reason
of their undenying great achievements, maybe some of the reasons of their unexpected failures,
also could be some reason of their tears of joy and even of heart aches, some reason of their
rants and complaints. But believe me or not, even behind those misfortunes and uncertainties,
here are those who just like you dear parents, wanted the best for them, they are the one who
stand as second parents to each and everyone who are graduating students and those who
faithfully believe in your sons and daughters’ strengths and weaknesses. Even through thick and
thin, their four, or five or more than five year partners in crime. The engineers, architects,
information technology and science experts by profession but also parents by heart. Starting
with>>>>>>>>

ADLIB POEMS (while they are preparing for the serenade)

You are both special in every way,
Encouraging me more and more each passing day.

You both are the reason why I'm so strong.

With you two at the helm, not a thing could go wrong.

You've both helped me through many trials and tribulations.

You've made things better in every situation.

Thank you both for always being there

And showing me that you truly care.

Words could never explain how I feel about you,

But I hope you know that I truly love you two!

The Heart Of A Parent

When you are all down and think you are crashing in,
When all you can here is the loudest din,
Who do you turn to, to help forgive your greatest sin?
All alone, in the dark, when you cried out lonely tears,
Who helped you face and fight your darkest fears?
And when it looked like not a soul could understand?
Wasn't there that special someone to hold you by the hand?

Now, these are the people, whom you can never really replace,
These are the people, whom believe it or not, gave you your face,
Every day, they'll love you through thick and thin,
And help you find your light, from deep within,
If at all, it seems like all the happiness in your life is about to die,
Your parents, my dearest friend, will be the ones to cry.
At the end of the day, the setting sun, there's no one who can love you more,
From day to day and year to year, it's a love abundant shore,
Always remember, January to December, your parents love for you,
It is going to always be there, believe it, it's true!

Pamilya
Tula ni Julyhet Roque

Kay sarap pagmasdan ng masayang pamilya,

Si ama’t si ina’y responsable sa tuwina
Ang Diyos ang sandigan sa tuwi-tuwina.

Mga anak pinalaki nang may takot sa Diyos,

Tinuruang gumawa, magpawis at mapagod
Pagkat puhunan daw iyon sa paglaking lubos.

Edukasyon ng anak ay itinaguyod

Kahit na mangapal ang palad sa pagod
Basta sa pamilya ay may maitustos.

Di nag aaway sa harap ng supling,

Kapakanan lagi ng anak na hirang ang nasa at pansin
At pagmamahalan ang laging inaangkin.

Kanlungan

Paano ko nga ba makalilimutan

Ang napakainit na bisig ng aking mga magulang
Na siyang aking naging kanlungan
magmula ng ako ay isinilang

Tuwing ikinukwento ng aking mahal na ina

Ang mga panahon na ako ay kanyang inaaruga
Pawang ngiti lamang ang nakikita sa labi niya
At maging sa kanyang mga mata

Akin ding inaaalala kung paano ako alagaan ni ama.

Na walang kasing higpit at bibihirang tumawa
Tuwing ako’y umiiyak dahil sa mga kalaro
Nandoon siya upang akoy’ patawanin gamit ang kanyang mga biro.

Ngayon ako’y malaki na at ang aking magulang ay matatanda na,

Ako naman ang magsisilbing kanlungan nila.
Dahan-dahang susuklian ang mga kabutihan,
At di magsasawang sila ay pagsilbihan.

Isang Tula Para sa Aking Pamilya

Tula ni Marlyn Adame Autor

Mula ng ako ay isilang

ako ay nagkaroon ng muwang
upang paglaki ko’y
makapagpasalamat sa aking magulang…

Sa aking AMA na siyang dahilan

kung bakit ako ay may pangalan
salamat sa iyo
ako ay naging tao…

Sa aking INA na siyang nagpalaki

upang pagtanda ko’y maipagmalaki
salamat sa’yo
nagkaroon ako ng magandang mundo…
Sa aking mga KAPATID na mahal ako
salamat sa inyo lumaki ako
binihisan ako para maging katulad nyo
at maipagmalaki pati ng ibang tao…

Hindi man ako perpekto

minsan may pusong bato
pero alam ko dito sa puso ko
walang makakapantay sa inyo…

Ipinagmamalaki ko kayo
dahil ako’y minahal nyo
ng walang kapalit kahit ano
kahit pa madalas selfish ako…

Hindi nyo ako iniwan

sa ano man laban
kasama ko kayo
matalo manalo man ako…

Kung lumaki man ako

sa paraang hindi nyo gusto
pasensya na kayo
dahil may sariling desisyon din ako…

Asahan nyong sa dulo ng buhay ko

ay mayroon ding pangarap ang katulad ko
nasaktan o nasugatan ko man ang puso nyo
patawad ang tanging pagsamo ko…

Sa aking mga magulang at kapatid

asahan nyong ating pisi ay di mapapatid
dahil sila, kayo at ako ay magiging isa
para magbuklod at maging isang masayang pamilya…

Mahal ko kayo
gumuho man ang mundo
matuyo man ang dagat
kayo pa rin ang hahanapin ko…

Upang paglingkuran lahat kayo

ako ay magbabago
ng pagdating sa dulo
sama-sama pa rin tayo…
