More on “We Are Proud to be Cavintinians”
A combination of courage, bravery, patience, perseverance, cooperation, determination, helpfulness and all the aforementioned traits helped build Cavinti. Hence, sa mga kababayan in Cavinti and elsewhere in the world, let us do our best to instill in our youth these distinguished personal qualities of Cavintinians, especially to those who Mr. Cesar Mesina mentioned in his comments. The Filipino Channel (TFC), in addition to the joys and merriment it brings to the Filipino/Cavinti homes everywhere, are instrumental in introducing to these individuals who were born and/or raised outside the territorial jurisdiction of Cavinti/the Philippines these praiseworthy attributes the Cavintinians are endowed with.
Miss Norma Tablico, in behalf of the Cavintians, let me express our prayers for and our wholehearted appreciation for your willingness to retire in our schools as embodied in your comment. Your effective supervision and guidance of the teachers along this specific area of concentration will greatly enhance the development of these praiseworthy character traits among our students. Having been an educator, too, I’ve always had a high regard for teachers. I feel they have the most important job of molding our future generations.
Our numerous characteristics and practices are not without blemish, but aren’t we proud that Cavinti customs and values live elsewhere a Cavintinian resides? MABUHAY!
