IN PHOTOS I SEPTEMBER 1, 2026
As the cool morning air welcomed the first day of the “Ber Months,” Macabug Elementary School gathered once again for its regular Monday Morning Flag Ceremony. Since yesterday was a holiday in observance of National Heroes Day, the school community came together this morning to begin September with renewed energy, discipline, and patriotism.
The flag-raising ceremony was led by PAT Jaca and PAT Gubalane, with the Boy Scouts standing behind and carefully observing the proper flag-raising procedures. The flag ceremony was facilitated by Ma’am Hershey Mary B. Tumulak, a seasoned Grade 1 teacher and Teacher III who has dedicated her entire teaching career to serving young learners. Her experience and composure were evident as she helped ensure that the ceremony was conducted properly, respectfully, and with the solemnity it deserved.
As the Philippine flag slowly rose toward the morning sky, the entire school community remained quiet and attentive. The organized atmosphere reflected the importance of discipline and respect, values that must be nurtured not only inside the classroom but also in every aspect of a learner’s life.
Meanwhile, Sir Wenton Jose O. Tolero, School Principal, once again reminded the pupils that discipline and obedience are essential foundations of becoming responsible and successful citizens in the future. His message emphasized that success does not begin with awards or achievements alone; it begins with learning to follow rules, respect others, listen, and do what is right even when no one is watching.
Adding excitement and inspiration to the morning ceremony, the winners of last week’s contests were called to the stage and recognized with a well-deserved round of applause. Among those celebrated were Dazare Villarmino, Abby Andrescio, Athena Jade Bonajos, and Parker Dylan Ting, whose achievements brought pride and honor to Macabug Elementary School.
Their recognition was more than just a celebration of victory, it became a source of inspiration to their fellow pupils. Their accomplishments remind everyone that hard work, perseverance, discipline, and determination can turn dreams into achievements.
As September begins, may the rising flag continue to remind every learner of their duty to love their country, respect one another, and strive for excellence. And may the achievements of our young champions inspire more pupils to study harder, believe in themselves, and aim not merely to participate but to reach for that possible FIRST PLACE.
Welcome, September! Welcome, Ber Months
