TEACHERS—THE MODERN-DAY HEROES: Representatives from each department present their surprises to Pillarican educators to show their overwhelming gratitude, love, and respect to their respective instructors.

Pillarican students gave tribute to the teachers and staff of Our Lady of the Pillar College – Cauayan through a short program led by the Supreme Student Council (SSC), in partnership with the different departments and organizations, as part of the worldwide celebration of Teachers’ Day on October 5 at school’s audio-visual room.

Greetings from students across college departments set the mood for a mini but fun-filled celebration. Students also prepared simple tokens and gifts for the teachers and staff.

The occasion was made even more memorable when students from different departments performed and showcased various presentations in dancing, singing, spoken poetry, playing musical instruments, and other forms of art.  

In between intermissions, departmental and club presidents shared their warm greetings and messages which emphasized the transformative influence that teachers selflessly give.

“We are so much grateful to all of you for choosing and having this noble profession. You are all indeed the living heroes of the world. On this day we honor teachers like you, who give themselves in all that they do. May you continue to teach minds, touch hearts, and transform lives,” Ms. Magat, Pillarican Pre-service Teachers Club President, said during her speech.
