Their Chairman Rommel Sytin is proud to extend its heartfelt appreciation to all the dedicated and hardworking teachers in the country.

“For more than a decade UAAGI has supported Gabay Guro in its advocacy of empowering Filipino teachers and helping improve our education system. We are committed to extend our support and will continue to partner with Gabay Guro for the benefit of our beloved teachers,” Sytin said.

Gabay Guro Chairperson Ms. Chaye Cabal-Revilla shared that this year’s Grand Gathering theme --“Pagpupugay at Pasasalamat kay Ma’am at Sir” -- is all about honoring and thanking our beloved teachers for their continued service and sacrifices for the benefit of our Filipino youth.

“Our theme rightfully acknowledges and gives due respect to our teachers for the contribution that they make to nation-building. We should really stop calling them unsung heroes, and instead, always recognize and respect how they have touched our lives with their unwavering passion to teach. The Gabay Guro Grand Gathering is our heartfelt gesture of gratitude to all our teachers, and we hope that they look forward to this annual event just as much as we enjoy organizing it and bringing it to them,” Cabal-Revilla said. — Video by Jan Milo Severo, editing by Martin Ramos
