Friday last week, some 6,250 teachers from the Misamis Oriental school’s division converged at the LKKS atrium where P10.8 million was disbursed.

Each recipient got a cash gift the amount of which was dependent on their years of service.

However, Gov. Emano opted that no one should get an amount of not less that P1,800.

“This is not enough to compensate all the sweat and tears that these teachers spent in the process of educating our young. This gift is our recognition of their noble role in our society,” Gov. Emano said.

In his remarks during the program, the governor acknowledged the importance of education and the  vital role played by the teachers.

“In your hands we placed the formation of the hope of our land. This country will swim or sink with our you and our system of education,” Gov. Emano told the teachers.

He assured the teachers that as long as he remains the Governor of the province, the giving of cash gift will remain a part of teachers’ annual activity.

The Governor, along with some other officials of the province and the Department of Education, Misamis Oriental School’s Division distributed the cash gifts to the teachers.

In appreciation for the gifts they received, the teachers entertained the governor and his party with songs, dances, and other performances. (pio)
