A Celebration of Second Chances and Triumphs!
We witnessed the beautiful fruit of dedication, perseverance, and hard work of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners of Burgos District at the ALS Recognition Rites held at Poblacion Sur covered court, Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur on June 26, 2026. Seeing our learners walk across the stage reminds us that education knows no boundaries, no age, and no limits.
To our dear ALS learners, your journey wasn't easy, but you proved that with determination, any dream is within reach. This is just the beginning of your brighter tomorrow. We, your ALS Facilitators, are incredibly proud of you all!
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our supportive Public Schools District Supervisor, Dr. Veronica R. Vilog and our dedicated Division ALS Focal Persons, Sir Emil R. Riodil and Sir Marvin Q. Tacal, for their unwavering guidance, leadership, and endless support in making this event a success. Thank you for always championing our learners!
We also extend our deep appreciation to our supportive School Heads of Burgos-San Esteban District, Ma'am Mila B. Olivar, Maam Rosie C.
