Assignments, projects, research, group activities, outputs, loads of performance tasks, and sometimes disagreements occur upon the groupmates. Sometimes, friendships end because of misunderstanding within the works. Sometimes, teachers get mad when you get late in the class. These are students' everyday experiences until they graduate. Sometimes, students utter these words "Ayos lang ang hindi magkajowa basta makapagtapos lang ng pag-aaral”. At the end of the student's journey, the hard-earned piece of document is awaited — the diploma. As the pandemic crisis rises due to COVID-19, the normal life of everyone is affected including the schooling of the students. The Department of Education declares nationwide postponement of graduation and moving up rites until the lockdown is lifted. About D.O. No. 02 and Department Memorandum 42, the DepEd gives the right to the schools to have their and schedule their graduation/moving up ceremonies with the consultations within the Parent-Teacher Association in their jurisdiction once the lockdown/ECQ is lifted.
As the pandemic crisis rises due to COVID-19, the normal life of everyone is affected including the schooling of the students.

To graduate is one of the most awaited moments for anyone as it serves a milestone in our life. A well-deserved celebration for those who worked hard with persistence. A momentous event for everyone, as they see themselves progressing into their dreams and having a sense of fulfillment, and a moment to be treasured as a student. The loving parents, families, and guardians of the students are also part of the celebration as they are the foundation of support, love, and care. It feels really good to see your parents, love ones are proud of you, as you march upon the grounds and up to the podium. Where all their sacrifices and hard work are worth and paid off. If the graduation rites are canceled, this year's batch of graduates is definitely will be disappointed and sad because it is a once for a while moment and they waited for years just for this moment. Some of them may start online petitions and utter their voices through social media for graduation rates. Some of them agreed to postpone but not canceled, due to our health concerns and preventive measurements. They wished to have this moment but willing to wait, once we become a COVID-19 free country, with the Enhanced-Community Quarantine (ECQ) is lifted. Written by: Paul Kramer C. Ontar |
