During the 9th Senior High School Graduation Ceremony held on March 31, 2026, at the Siay Municipal Gymnasium, Krishamae D. Quizo | With Highest Honor delivered a speech that reflected not only her journey, but the shared experiences of the graduating class.
In her address, Krisha shared a deeply personal reflection on her unexpected journey toward success. She admitted that she never really aimed to become one of the top-performing students in their batch. As she often said, โbahala ug with honors ra, at least naa koy award.โ For her, high school was not about competition, but about cherishing every moment and living life fullyโembracing the idea that โ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐.โ
She stood before the audience not to boast about earning the distinction of With Highest Honors among the candidates for graduation, but to inspire, to share her purpose, and to remind everyone that everything happens for a reason. She acknowledged that the journey was far from easy, marked by moments when life felt unfair. There were times of doubt, failure, and questions like, โNganong unfair man kaayo pag-abot sa akoa?โโespecially when things did not go as planned or dreams seemed out of reach.
Yet, through reflection, she came to understand that these setbacks were not without purpose. Every disappointment carried a lesson, and every closed door was leading to something better. As reflected in a familiar lyric, โYou canโt win at everything, but you can try,โ she emphasized the importance of perseverance and trust in the process.
She emphasized that graduation is not just about finishing school, but about celebrating survival, resilience, and growth. It stands as proof of every hardship they overcame and every dream they held onto.
Closing her speech with a message that resonated with many, she left the Class of 2026 with a powerful reminder that as one chapter ends, another beginsโ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ๐๐๐ฒ.
