From Ephesians 2:10- “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand.”

A little bit late to ponder on President Noynoy Aquino’s “Ulat Sa Bayan 2013”, because it was scheduled on a weekday, it was only a night ago when I happened to switch on a station which was airing a delayed telecast of the said event.

As I was glued on the screen, the President was enumerating the good works each department in the agency has shown as he reiterates in his “Daang Matuwid”. Each department head was given commendation and good works including our very own department Secretary Luistro.

As always, Bro. Luistro was in his boyish smile, so confident and assuring as he seems to be.

As a classroom teacher I cannot but follow what the Bible states. As teachers, we are a part of that solemn oath to do what we are supposed to do, to make better students. We teachers are one in trying to reach our common goal, to make them learn and to utilize what they learn in real life.

For in so doing, we will be in active participation with DepEd to fulfill and satisfy its goal and vision. Hand in hand, though it may seem complicated and rough, everything will be realized through our active participation. I know that as God made and put us in our present positions, He has planned our good works in advanced, I am very much certain that as we fulfill our good works, we are “God’s fellow workers”, and that will make the difference!
