DepEd to honor teachers By JORIE C. VALCORZA of the Philippine Information Agency
CAGAYAN de Oro City––The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to give honor to outstanding teachers who have shown remarkable devotion to their job, this as it culminates on October 5, the teachers’ month celebration. The national culmination activity will take place here in Cagayan de Oro City, first ever, and it is expecting around 5,000 teacher-participants coming from different parts of Mindanao. Dr. Myrna T. Castaños, Gingoog City School Division Superintendent and Chairperson of the World Teachers’ Day (WTD) publicity and media committee, explained in a press conference held yesterday at the Business Week Mindanao media center, that the celebration is intentionally set in Cagayan de Oro to highlight the heroic acts of teachers in schools heavily
affected by tropical storm Sendong, including Iligan City. “This is a grand event, we are expecting big personalities, including artists just to ensure we please our teachers, it’s an all fun day for them,” Medarda B. Galarrita, DepEd 10 information officer added. The national culmination activity will serve as the highpoint of the nationwide celebration, while all other school across the country will also simultaneously celebrate the event. A simultaneous prayer for teachers is also initiated at exactly 10:00 a.m. on day of the event. (JCV/PIA 10)
