Sa araw na ito, kinikilala at pinahahalagahan natin ang mahalagang ambag ng bawat manggagawang Pilipino sa paghubog ng lipunan at sa patuloy na pag-unlad ng ating bansa. Ang kanilang sipag, tiyaga, at dedikasyon ay sumasalamin sa tunay na diwa ng paglilingkod at pagmamalasakit—mga halagang ating pinagyayaman sa loob ng paaralan.

Nawa’y magsilbi itong inspirasyon sa bawat mag-aaral na pahalagahan ang dignidad ng paggawa at magsumikap tungo sa makabuluhang kinabukasan.

Mabuhay ang manggagawang Pilipino!

SAN ISIDRO, NUEVA ECIJA — Fourth year education students of General de Jesus College participated in a mock board examination on April 15, 2026, as part of their preparation for the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). The activity was conducted under the supervision of Chain Rinivarts Educational Training Center.

The mock examination aimed to provide students with an opportunity to experience the structure, time pressure, and level of difficulty they may encounter in the licensure test. Through this initiative, students were able to evaluate their academic readiness and identify areas that require further improvement.

According to organizers, the activity also serves to strengthen students’ confidence and test-taking strategies. By exposing them to realistic examination conditions, the program helps reduce anxiety and better prepare them mentally and emotionally for the actual LEPT.

The administration of General de Jesus College emphasized its commitment to ensuring the success of its future educators by continuously providing programs and activities that support their academic and professional development. The mock board examination is one of several initiatives designed to equip education students with the necessary skills and competence to pass the licensure exam and enter the teaching profession fully prepared.

Sa paggunita ng Araw ng Kagitingan, muli nating balikan at sariwain ang diwa ng kabayanihan—ang tapang, determinasyon, at wagas na pagmamahal sa bayan na ipinamalas ng ating mga bayani. Ipinagkaloob nila hindi lamang ang kanilang lakas, kundi maging ang kanilang buhay, upang makamtan ang kalayaan na tinatamasa natin ngayon.

Sa kanilang mga sakripisyo, natututo tayong pahalagahan ang ating mga karapatan at ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaisa para sa kabutihang panlahat. Ang kanilang halimbawa ay nagsisilbing gabay at inspirasyon upang patuloy nating mahalin, ipagtanggol, at paglingkuran ang ating Inang Bayan.

Sa araw na ito, magkaisa tayo sa pag-alala at pagpupugay sa kanilang kadakilaan, at ipakita sa mundo na ang diwa ng pagiging Pilipino ay matatag, buhay, at hindi kailanman magmamaliw.

From aspiring educators to emerging facilitators of learning, our Social Studies pre-service teachers have successfully reached a remarkable academic milestone. This achievement showcases not only their strong foundation in content knowledge but also their growing ability to transform theories into engaging, meaningful, and relevant classroom experiences.

Their demonstrations highlighted that Social Studies is not limited to the study of history, but also encompasses disciplines such as economics and the importance of civic engagement in explaining real-life situations. By connecting historical contexts with present-day societal and economic realities, they emphasized the vital role of education in shaping informed and responsible individuals.

Behind every successful presentation lies perseverance, dedication, and countless hours of preparation. Through their efforts, they have shown that teaching is not merely about delivering lessons, but about making learning purposeful and applicable to everyday life.

The College of Education proudly extends its warmest congratulations to our pre-service teachers. May you continue to inspire, educate, and make meaningful contributions to society. ✨

To infinity and beyond—Basta Soksay, Mahusay!

From listening to professors within the four corners of their own classrooms, it is now their turn to show their heart and art in the field of teaching.

Our Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English pre-service teachers from the GJC - College of Education brought their own creative touch to everything from literature lessons to grammar lessons during their successful final demonstration teaching.

Behind every "congratulations" and the applause that echoed after their demos were the tears and sleepless nights each pre-service teacher endured to provide the best learning experience for their students.

The College of Education extends our warmest congratulations to our BSED-English pre-service teachers for showing such immense commitment and compassion in handling every learner.

May you continue to strive and let your passion burn bright—not only teaching lessons from books but also leaving behind valuable wisdom that touches the hearts of your future students.
