SOLANO, Nueva Vizcaya, (PIA) – The Department of Education (DepEd) recently awarded a teacher in this town for successfully imparting the values program in the schools division.
Rene Rose Labasan, a Master Teacher II of San Juan Elementary School (SJES) at Barangay San Juan here was awarded by Fortune Life, DepEd and advocacy firm Mary Lindbert with the “Gintong Parangal para sa Guro” .
Labasan, one of the five awardees in the country received the award on September 12 at the DepEd Central Office in Pasig City.
“As an elementary grade teacher for almost 26 years, I find it joyous, delightful and very challenging mingling with these children, particularly Grade 1 pupils, the crucial grades to handle. For I believe in the biblical passage, ‘Train up your child the way you want to be, for when he grows old, he will not depart from it,” she said.
Labasan was also a finalist in the nationwide Search for Outstanding Teachers by the Metrobank Foundation, Inc. in 2016.
Five school administrators also received the “Gintong Parangal Pamumuno” Awards for their exemplary implementation of the values program in their DepEd Schools Divisions.
The awards are given under the Values Advocacy Program of Fortune Life in partnership with the DepEd and advocacy firm Mary Lindbert.
The values advocacy program showcases the life story of Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua, who rose from poverty to being a successful businessman through hard work and discipline.
Fortune Life and the DepEd drew up a textbook and workbook with lessons based on the life of the late ambassador.
