 by Mike Raniel Macario

    The heroes of today are not wearing capes but they are wearing masks and school uniforms. They inspire curiosity and a lifetime love of wisdom. They’re experts at boosting confidence through the right mix of motivation and instruction. They serve alternately as student-squabble mediator, supportive listener, and all-around problem fixer. They are armed with their passion, love, and determination to influence, educate and empower young minds.

    Amidst the pandemic,the Supreme Student Council spearheaded by Mr. James E. Villasis led this years Teachers Day Celebration virtually. SSC Officers, put an extra effort by initiating a frame to be used by students in updating their Facebook profile together with their suggested caption as a means of showing their appreciation and gratitude.  Furthermore, random messages and entries sent by the respective students on the comment section were read by the host for teachers to listen.

    According to Mr. Villasis, "This year's theme focuses and recognizes the immense role of teachers towards overcoming challenges especially on the sector of education and promoting education despite the pandemic. Our teacher is the light of the world, the beacon in the dark and the hope that gives us strength to survive". He also added that"Education is one of our effective armor to conquer adversities. Let's put in our mind that-MOST if not all the people who are working to make things go round today, are once a student. They were educated to become who they are today".

        The virtual event ended with the closing remarks of Mr. Jay Ramon M. Alayon, SSC Vice-President, by expressing his warm gratitude to all teacher and spotlighting the role and importance of educators amidst pandemic. Indeed, Capsunians proves that amidst adversities, they can create pleasure to all teachers by celebrating it virtually.
