Mga Kababayan, Ladies and Gentlemen, Teachers!

Assalamu Alaykum! Warakmatullahi Wabarakatuh!

Madayaw ug maayong adlaw kaninyong tanan! Magandang araw sa inyong lahat!

On this World Teachers’ Day, we honor the dedication and hardwork of all our educators.

We are grateful for the sacrifices you make in shaping the minds of young Filipinos and inspiring them to become responsible citizens.

Your tireless efforts in classrooms and communities demonstrate your commitment to building a stronger nation.

Together, let’s make the theme, “Together4Teachers” echo across the country.

Let us urge our government and private sector leaders and every Filipino from all walks of life to invest in education and join us in addressing learning poverty. Let every Filipino child reach their full potential.

Mga kababayan, patuloy po tayong maging matatag tungo sa pagtaguyod ng isang Bansang Makabata at mga Batang Makabansa.

Ang lahat ng ginagawa natin ay para sa Diyos, sa bayan, at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.

Shukran.

SARA Z. DUTERTE Vice President of the Philippines
