Mayors exchanged ideas
and insights. Mayor Binay
shared his administration’s
accomplishments and
programs. According to him,
th e presence of the
University of Makati which
given free tuition fees to
students is his best gift to the
people of Makati. The Senior

loved are being given many
benefits they deserve such
as medical, burial and other
financial assistance, free
movie entrance and even
birthday gifts.
Mayor Nalupta

achieved. However, he said
that with Batac’s present
resources, capabilities and
strong leadership, it will soon
follow and emulate what
Mayor Binay has done. On
the other hand he stressed
that the most important thing
in the sisterhood pact is the
building of bridge between
the two cities for their strong
partnership in development.
A ceremonial giving of
token was done after the
sisterhood signing.===

A message to the
By Mrs. Estrelita Gaoat Bayangos
Guest Speaker
Baoa Elementary School
A warm Greetings to all!
Umuna unay agyamantay
iti Dios ta nadonantay ti
maikainnem a pulo nga graduation
exercises ti eskwela tayo, that only
proves how much God loves and
sustains us.
At this juncture, allow me to
express my gratitude to the parents
and teachers of the Baoa
Elementary School for having
chosen me to be your speaker in
today’s graduation exercises. When
Mrs. Fe Bartido called me thru the
cellphone informing me that I was
chosen as your speaker today, I
said “No ma’am”, Apay aya kunana
mabainak ma’am kunak met. Wen
mabainak kunak ta ngamin ti
makitkitak a speakers kadagitoyen
a tiempo ket dagitay ub-ubbing ket
nataenganakon. Ultimately, I said
yes. The following day I texted her
making alibis that on that day will
be a directors’ meeting in my place
of work. But she did not reply.
Nairana met nga adda ni lakayko
ket imbagak daytoy nga awis ket
kunana awatemon a kababain. So
thru the inspiration of my husband,
again I texted Ma’am Bartido, now
this time, saying, ma’am, I accept
the invitation. I wish then to express
my profound gratitude to my Alma
Mater, for were it not for the
education I attained from this
institution, I may not have been
able to be what I am now.
I could recall vividly my
elementary days in this school.
Maysaak met a kas kadakayo idi a
dimmakkel iti paraangan ti
patpatgen tayo nga eskuela.
Agay-ayam, agkakatawa ngem
adda met dagiti kanito nga
panagririri ket isunto metten ti
pakabautan mi ken ni maestro.
Malagipko la unay daydi building
nga kayo no agdaluskami idi ket
bulong ti saba ti floorwaxmi.
Ludloden tapno rumuar ti galisna
ket mabalinen nga pagginnuyodan,
aglugan ti maysa, guyoden met ti sabali. No binsabinsaek koma dagidi padasko
mauma kayo ket amangan no dikayon agdengngeg.
Kadakayo annakmi nga agturpos kablaawankayo. Iti unos ti walo a tawen
agraman kinder/prep yo ammok ket pagaammok unay nga adu met dagiti padas ken
rigrigatyo ngem nagasatkayo annakmi ta itan hatid sundo ti kaaduan kadakayo. Idi
siak, pagnaek manipud iti balaymi idiay Toledo inggana ditoy eskwela. Naggapuak iti
nakurapay a pamilya. Agtaltalon daydi tatangko a danggayan met ni nanangko.
Adukami nga agkakabsat ket uray payen iti elementaria narigat ti panagbasan ta
adukami nga agsasaruno. Inggaedko ti nagbasa ket kaasi ni Apo Dios I graduated
on top of the class, the Valedictorian. Just a few moments ago, I was talking to your
class Valedictorian. Kunak, ana ti sikretom ta apay sika ti Valedictorian? Simple
laeng ti sungbatna ket kunana: kinagaget nga agbasa.Inayonko pay dagitoy tapno
magun-od tayo ti ballaigi: self-discipline, determination, love, industry and trust in
God. Tano ammom nga disiplinaen ti bagim agbunga iti adu daytoy- mailiklikka iti
dakes adda kappia iti pusom ket mapnoka iti ayat iti padam a tao.
“My education: my contribution for the future”. Kuna dagiti nagannak:
“anakko, igaedmo ti agbasa, dayta laeng ti maipatawid kenka”. Education gives us a
better future/a weapon to attain success. I recall vividly when I was in high school,
my parents were hard up in sending me to school. Ngem saan a ti kinakurapaymi ti
nangbuteng kaniak. No bakasyon adu ti panggedan, adu pay la ti agpakpakintos idi.
Mapanak agkintos, agmula ti bawang, aggapas ken aggatud tapno addanto manen
kuartak. Ngem narigat ket narigat latta ti panagbiag. Kuna daydi tatangko
agsardengkan. Ngem kastay kunakon determinadoak nga makalpas iti adalko. No
awan ited ni tata idi a kuartak mapanak iti daydi naayat a kaarrubami. Masansan a
kasta. No iti bigat agrubuatakon uray awan pay kuartak. Innakto manen iti kaarubak
ket apay awan man kuartamon balasangko? kunana, Ala alaem daytoy sangapulo a
pisos kunananto manen. Laeng, ta nasapa met a pimmusay daytoy nangkakaasi
kaniak. Umanayen ti sangapulo a pisos ta magmagnakami met idi nga agpaili. Awan
lugan. Saan a kas ita nga awanen ti magmagna ta adun ti lugan. Bayat ti
panagtultuloyko nga agbasa, nagyanak iti maysa a familia ket tapno malibre ti kanen
ken panagyanko I have to do the household chores before I go to school. Tay
kunatayo self-supporting student. Kasta met man la idi agcollege akon. Inggana a
nakalpasak and just a month after my graduation I was employed at the Rural Bank
of Batac, Inc. until now. Saan a mailibak kadagitoy a tiempo rumigat a rumigat ti
panagbiag. Ngem padak a nagannak saantay a maawanan namnama agtalektay
ken Apo Dios; agkararagtayo ta isu ti mangted kadagiti kasapulantayo. Children,
education is your weapon to attain success and someday you will be a pride of your
parents, your school and the community. Remember, SUCCESS IS NOT A
MONOPOLY OF TALENTED AND RICH PEOPLE BUT SUCCESS CAN BE
ATTAINED THRU ONES DISPOSITION OF THE TALENTS AND RESOURCES
GOD HAS GIVEN HIM. Kadakayo nga annakmi no mariknayo nga talaga a
marigatan da tatang ken nanang tulonganyo ida. Ubingak pay, mano la ti tawenko
dimo kuna, ta adu ket adu ti maaramidmo nga mangted inspirasyon kadagiti
nagannak kenka- no agsingsingpetka, no ammom ti tumulong kadagiti aramid ti
balay nangruna iti daytoy a bakasyon, papananna a di saan a maayayo da tatang
ken nanang a mangpabasa kenka. Iti uneg ti 8 a tawen agraman kinder/prep a
panagbasayo, itan agturposkayon. But remember, this is not the end, but it’s just a
beginning of a higher education. By June, you will soon be in high school. Ti
maibagak kadakayo annakko, high school life is full of challenges. Idiay ili, adu dagiti
sulisog a mangriribuk iti panagadal, but if you will remember what I’ve said, “self
discipline ken determination coupled with prayers” ket dikayto maiyaw-awan.
Education gives us the dignity as citizens of the community. For my humble
self, I can say I am contributing something good for the community. Just being a
good employee servicing people coming to the bank, setting GOOD example to
others, by being a good mother to my children and a good wife to my husband, I
believe I have laid a good moral foundation for my family and that is one of my
contribution now and for the future.
Agsubliak kakabsat iti rigat ti panagbiag. At the moment, the world is
suffering from economic reversions. And our country is not spared from the global
crisis. Unemployment, increase in prices of commodities, terrorists attacks, increase
in poverty line, and graft and corruption, to name a few, are worsening the present
condition of our country. But, are we to blame only our leaders? Kakabsat saantay

Don’t Let Fear Stops You(Tips for Shy Students)
I was passing by the corridor when I heard
Michelle, a grade five pupil said, “Mrs. Verano
told me that I’m going to try out for cheer
dance, and I’m really scared. What if I mess up?
What if everyone thinks I dance badly?” I
stopped and told her, “Don’t let your fear stops
you from trying something new. When you feel
nervous about try outs, ask yourself the question:
“Then what would happen?” Most likely you’ll
realize that you can get through it no matter
what. Be realistic with your answers and you’ll
see that your fear weakens with every “Then
what?” question.
The better you become at identifying your
problem, the more you’ll learn about yourself.
When things don’t go the way you wish they
would everything you can start to look bad.
Those feelings are normal. You can cry if you
need to.
Go on – Move on – Whatever happens,
remember to tell yourself, “I’ll be OK.” At least
you tried. And you’ll discover more of yourself as
you keep on moving on forward.

Cerebral Palsy
Beneficiary
availed FREE BOTOX
Injection
Diane Ace Galacgac, a 6 year old Cerebral Palsy beneficiary received her
P30,000.00 worth Botulinum Toxin (BOTOX) injection for free last January 30, 2009 at the Main Center- Laoag
done by Dr. Isias Alipio. This was through consistent coordination of the BBC Social Worker Marnelli Pacris
with the PCSOffice, Quezon City.
Botox has been found to be a safe and effective treatment for relieving problems associated with
Cerebral Palsy such as muscle spasticity and excessive drooling just like in the case of Diane. Before, she
cannot even move her both legs upwards due to excessive spasticity. This prompted Dr. Isias Alipio, a
Physiatrist, recommended her to undergo botulinum toxin injection to temporarily weaken certain muscles thus
improving muscle imbalance that will aid in her gait training or learning to walk.
Dianne, 2 weeks after her injection, has gained improvements, especially in the increase of range of
motion of her both lower extremities. In addition, she can now walk inside the parallel bars or with the use of
walker given only minimal assist. She can now even walk up and down the stairs while holding on handrails. At
present, she is receiving regular and free Physical treatment sessions at STAC Batac.

Jethniel Tolentino is a 3 -year-old beneficiary
and was born with his twin brother at Brgy. San Mateo,
Batac City, Ilocos Norte. His identical twin grown up to
be normal in all aspects of development .However, their
parents noticed some delay in Jethniel’s milestones
during his first year of life.
When Jethniel was in his 8 months of life, his parents
noticed his inability to walk. Since his family belongs to
poor family background, his parents was not able to
send him even for medical consultation. As time goes by,
without Physical Therapy, Jethniel’s muscles especially
his lower extremities started to be stiff and it became
very difficult for him to begin walking until his aunt
have known about the Breaking Barriers for Children
last September 2009.
Through STAC in Batac, Jethniel was evaluated
and assessed by Dr. Isias Alipio at Main STAC Laoag
and was diagnosed to have Cerebral Palsy. He was
advised to undergo regular Physical treatment at the
STAC Batac.

“ Maraming salamat po sa BBC sa tulong na ibinigay

Teacher II Public Schools District Supervisor
Ten months ago, everybody was so happy not just
because the school year 2008-2009 has started but also with the
thought that in less than a year, the grade six pupils will be
graduating. They were in awe as they picture themselves walking
hand in hand with their parents as they receive their diplomas.
The teachers as well as the parents were all smiles as they were
preparing for the greatest moment of their children’s elementary
years.
In this connection, the supervisory staff of the Division of
Batac City headed by the officer-in-charge of the office of the
Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Norma L. Fernando and the
Public Schools District Supervisor of Batac I, Mrs. Rosario A.
Bingayen gave their fullest support and painstakingly showered
their brilliant thoughts to the graduating pupils, their teachers
and parents.
To inspire each one to perform the best that they can, a
contest on the best graduation program among the schools of
Batac City was organized. Our City Mayor, Honorable Jeffrey
Jubal C. Nalupta, City Vice Mayor Ronald Allan M. Nalupta
together with all the Sangguniang Panlungsod Members and
FPTCA President Ma. Mercedes N. Chua served as the Board of
Judges.
Among the 13 schools of Batac I, three deserving schools
garnered prestigious awards: CAMES bagged the Most
Organized Graduation Program; Tabug Elementary School won
the Most Disciplined Audience; and the Most Elegant Stage went
to Payao Elementary School for they used their creativity in using
indigenous materials for their decoration.
The winning schools were given certificates of
appreciation by the office of Batac District I to recognize their
great performances. The awards will surely serve as a source of
inspiration and challenge for all the schools to do their best to
strive for the CULTURE OF EXCELLENCE.
