In a simple, austere afternoon program, 16 teachers and a school principal of Balabag Elem. School were recognized by a thoughtful PTA officers and school children as their own unique, momentous way of expressing themselves on how grateful they are on this teachers' day.

Mrs. Fleurdeliz R. Ballente, the sister of PTA President Mrs. Mary Jane R. Ramo hosted 1-hour special program for the teachers.

"A good teacher has been defined as an individual who can understand those who are not very good at explaining and explain to those who are not very good in understanding," said Ballente as the program started.

Teacher's and School Head's Response

School faculty President, Ms. Tadlan briefly thanked the parents, the children and everyone who made the simple program of honoring the teachers from the bottom of their hearts.

The school principal before giving his closing remarks, texted the PTA President, Mrs. Mary Jane R. Ramo expressing his gratefulness for a successful teachers' day celebration conducted by her officers. Mrs. Ramo wasn't able to attend for she had an important task to do in the City Health as a widwife.

The school principal couldn't find an appropriate word to express his gratitude, except he just simply said, thank you, thank you, and thank you. Then he implored the Divine Providence to bless the PTA officers, the parents that they may be blessed in due time for all their goodness, sacrifice they made through their time, efforts and talents just let the teachers feel how important they are for their children's education, big or small.
