INTRODUCTION OF THE GUEST SPEAKER

Students, Colleagues, Parents and Guests:

Our speaker this a�ernoon is a man of resilience and determina�on. A graduate of De La Salle University’s
Business Management, Major in Entrepreneurship, he has established his company Chuck Fashion
Corporate Wear as one of the leading garments-supply businesses in the Na�onal Capitol Region, supplying
uniforms to different private corpora�ons and branches/offices of the government, such as the Philippine
Senate, the Philippine Na�onal Police, and the Philippine Airforce, to name a few. As excep�onal as his
passion for his business, his heart of gold to serve compliments his demeanor: he allowed people from his
community to harvest in his small farm for free to contribute to their sustainability. Indeed, it is an honor
and a pleasure to introduce our dis�nguished guest speaker: Mr. Froilan Carl “Chuck” Arboleda.

Thank you very much Sir Chuck for the very insigh�ul message you imparted this a�ernoon.

AWARDING OF THE PLAQUE OF APPRECIATION

May we have once more Mr. Vhel Catain for the awarding of the Plaque of Apprecia�on to our Guest of
Honor and Speaker.

VALEDICTORIAN SPEECH
There are moments where words cannot express the countless hours spent on reading, wri�ng,
researching, preparing for recita�ons or exams, and of course, the presenta�ons and defenses. These
moments are truly one’s founda�on in forming a sturdy and formidable structure; a structure that will
stand the test of �me. A person who truly embraced this is our next speaker; to give her valedictory
speech, let us all welcome Ms.
Princess Nicolas.

RECESSIONAL
The closing hour has finally arrived. Tomorrow, new challenges and opportuni�es await to our graduates
that will further test their metle as improving individuals. As they con�nue with their journey, may they
look back to this stage in their life with fondness and pride.

At this juncture, we shall listen to the graduates’ final song en�tled “Today My Life Begins” by Bruno Mars.
Let’s all give them a thundering round of applause.

That was indeed a great performance GRADUATES OF BATCH 2023

Let us now listen to School Principal, Ms. Cheryll Santos-Leus for her Closing Speech... Thank you very
much, Teacher Che.

A symbolic act in the Greek tradi�on to signify the closing of this chapter of their lives as High School
students and star�ng their new journey, let us now witness the tradi�onal Breaking of Plates.

As one community, let us now sing with pride and honor the LLA HYMN.

In behalf of the school’s administra�ve staff and faculty, once again, we joyfully congratulate the graduates,
completers, their parents and advisers. Also, we sincerely thank our guests who atended this momentous
event.

Lastly, a special thanks to members of the Gradua�on and Moving up Commitee who spent many long
