Words are not enough to express how I feel this very moment. I am sure my equally deserving fellow awardees feel the same way and I speak in behalf of them.
Today marks the momentous step in our journey as life-long learners in pursuit of academic excellence. We may be beaming with pride as we accept this prestigious award, but, we are also aware that this honor comes with challenges which we have to embrace. Emerging as the ten outstanding elementary pupils of Iloilo out of the numerous qualified aspirants is indeed a pleasure but it is one that brings duties to uphold and to live up. Now, we are not only responsible for our own self and actions but likewise we have responsibilities towards our peers in this society.
We have proven what we can do and what we can be and coupled with this, we have to make ourselves worthy of emulation and be an inspiration to our fellow students. A gigantic burden to carry but we can do it because we have the unconditional love of our parents, the unwavering support of our mentors and the firm prayers of our friends. Add to these, our faith in the Almighty God who has entrusted to us these talents and your belief in what we can be. All these are the pillars that we can lean on to whenever we are hesitant to make an even bigger step.
To all the distinguished people behind this laudable endeavor, especially the leadership of Mr. Henry Bueron Caspe, Chair of the Outstanding Students Circle of Iloilo and Dr. Japhet Gensaya-Fernandez-De Leon, who is the overall chairperson of 2008 Screening Committee, we sincerely thank you for all the efforts you have done in making this search a success.
Truly, your endeavor has inspired us to be better than ever. We will take dynamic effort to make this momentous step to go on to a thousand mile walk and hopefully reach not only the national arena but the international scene as well. It may sound ambitious, but who knows what we can do in the future? Of course, it is all in God’s time and with His Divine Providence.

There is one little promise we can make: the honor and trust you have bestowed on us today shall NEVER BE IN VAIN because young as we are, you made us believe that we can be the BEST that we can and WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
And so…in behalf of my fellow awardees, our parents, our teachers as well as our school officials, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.
MAY GOD BLESS US ALL! @
