afternoon. It is my pleasure to join you and your loved ones
in your elation as we welcome the candidates for graduation of Class 2012 of San Antonio de Padua College. ACADEMIC PROCESSION THEN AFTERWARDS, START OF THE BACCALAUREATE MASS *MASS* *********************************************************** MC: Please stand for the entrance of colors and the singing of the Philippine National Anthem. ENTRANCE OF COLORS/PHIL. NATIONAL ANTHEM MC: You may now be seated. Again, welcome to the 33 rd Commencement Exercises of San Antonio de Padua College. Many of us consider graduation as a beautiful thing. It is the culmination of long years of study and a rite of passage into the real world for many of the youth of the land. I know that to the students, it almost sounds like magic. It not only means receiving the diploma, the veritable symbol of hardearned triumph, but also the thrill of the graduation march, the donning of that long-cherished cap and gown. Today marks the start of your future. For many parents, watching their child, now a young man or woman, go up the stage in their togas to receive a piece of paper is the reward for long years of toil and sacrifice. And to give us the welcome address,
may
request
the
presence
of
proficiency awardee, Mike Thomas V. Tandang.
WELCOME ADDRESS
this
years
MC: Thank you Mr. Tandang. We are all here today to mark, to
affirm
and
to
celebrate
your
past
and
present
achievements. Your degree is an embodiment of these
achievements. We are also here today to promote your readiness and preparedness to proceed into the world outside of San Antonio de Padua College. You have dreams to follow not dreams to dream of. You should not give up by the sufferings you are facing through life because without those you wouldn't be having a fun life. The fruits of your labor are mirrors that will reflect the expected success of your life in the real world and in the days to come. At this juncture, I would like to call Prof. Ma. Mimie M. Castillo, the Dean of the College Department for the Presentation of Candidates for Graduation to be followed by the conferment of degrees to be done by our College President, Dr. Armando B. Figueroa.

IMPOSITION OF THE HOOD MC: Congratulations once again for your well deserved honor. You are about to embark on a journey of opportunity. The degrees you have finished are keys to open the different doors to your journey. However, it is only a key. It is up to you to unlock the door and step through the doorway. The lessons, which you were privileged to learn from our school have shaped and guided your development as students of San Antonio de Padua College. Now your graduation and
your transition from undergraduates to alumni signal a
departure from the nurturing environment of college into a brave, new world of opportunity and uncertainty. You are now repositories of the principles and ideals of this institution of learning. The vantage position that you now enjoy should be utilized in discovering for yourselves the various practical problems in life and the pressing needs of your community. At this point in time, may I request the presence of Prof. Rosalinda P. Garcia who will introduce to us our Commencement Speaker in this special occasion. INTRODUCTION
