Over 700 students completed their respective courses at KNP on July 4 during their Commencement Exercise, held under the theme “Rising Strong: A Journey of Resilience and Triumph.”

As the guest speaker, Governor Mabanglo lauded the efforts and perseverance of the students and their parents hard work in sustaining their needs during their journey to reach this important milestone in education.

He also encouraged the graduates to keep striving for their dreams, especially as they step into the real world and face greater responsibilities in life.

“As you go on to the real world with whole new responsibilities ahead, continue aspiring for EXCELLENCE—as we collaborate to achieve a better community for the people,” Governor Mabanglo said.

He further urged the graduates to embody a Culture of Efficiency, Accountability, Synergy, and Collaboration as guiding values in their pursuit of goals and aspirations.

The Governor also assured the support of his administration by opening opportunities for the graduates.

“Anaa kanunay ang gobyerno para musuporta kaninyo–apan awhagon tamo nga tabangi sab kami sa inyong simpleng pamaagi nga adunay ikatampo alang sa KaLAMBOan sa atong komunidad…”

(“The government is always here to support you—but I also encourage you to help us, in your own simple ways, in contributing to the progress of our communities…”)

“…This is not only a celebration, but an embraced responsibility as educated citizens to become instruments and partners toward our aspiration—achieving true and lasting development in our province, the Province of Davao de Oro.”
