Kris: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity

under the heavens. All that happened are God's wonderful plan for our
life.
RR: Today ladies and gentlemen mark another milestone in the history
of St. Augustine Academy of Bayawan, Inc., as we push the boat out on
this 73rd Graduation and Commencement Exercises.

VO: Before we begin, please standby for our Opening Prayer, the
Philippine National Anthem and Bayawan City Hymn.

Kris: A pleasant and joyous day everyone especially to our honored

guest, school administrators, faculty and staff, parents, guardians,
candidates for graduation, significant individuals and friends. And too,
we are very blessed as earlier today, our celebration was started with a
joint Eucharistic celebration as Thanksgiving from batch 2020 and this
years’ batch 2021.

RR: Graduation is the culmination of all hard work and years of study. It
is the day when students can say, “I’ve done it”. It is a milestone in their
life. It is also a day when our learners especially the graduates and their
family together with some friends gather and celebrate their success.

Kris: Indeed and it is the most important date in our academic calendar
as it is the time when our faculty and staff can gather with you graduates
to celebrate your academic achievement. Remember that graduation is
not the end but a new beginning to a new horizon of your career. In spite
of our current situation while having this.

RR: Candidates for graduation, I am honored to be with you today in

one of the mementous events in your lives, this 73rd Commencement and
Graduation Exercises. If there’s one quotation that sums up your
journey through school life and the choices you’ve made daily, it’s the
closing lines of a poem by Robert Frost and I quote:
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.” End of quoute.

Kris: Well, It is technically clear that you chose the right road, and now
you are about to reap the fruits of your labor. While tomorrow brings a
new journey, today marks the end of one important chapter of your lives
and as we are here together, let us savor all the moments we are in.
