"My first job was to teach in the seminary. I talked to my class for ninety minutes straight. After that my jaw ached so much and my throat dried out. That experience brought me a greater respect to my teachers."
These were the words of Councilor Atty. Joseph Emmanuel B. Cera, the Guest of Honor and Speaker at the Reception of the Promoted School Officials and Retirees, and at the same time, the inducting officer of the Mangaldan Central School Teachers Club (MCSTC) last July 27, 2007 at the Old Gabaldon Hall, Mangaldan central School.
Councilor Atty. Joseph Cera (far right) inducts the new MCSTC Officers led by President Angelita V. Ubaldo (center).
Cera is the newly appointed Chairman of the Committee on Education. During his campaign, he never failed to include the fact that most of his relatives were teachers.
At the reception, he paid tribute to the two promoted officials, Dr. Teresita G. Cera, Principal III of MCS, a.k.a. his auntie, and Dr. Minerva D. Serafica, Principal I of Buenlag Elementary School.
Likewise, he gave much admiration and esteem to the retirees, Mrs. Lolita E. Ventura, the former principal of MCS, Mr. Alfredo T. Cantano, Mrs. Aurora R. Santos, Mrs. Lourdes T. Abad and, Mrs. teresita P. Clarin.
Among those present during the affair were Mr. benjamin Q. Limon, District Supervisor of Mangaldan I, who came in spite of and fighting off a slight fever, the different school heads; a number of retirees; and the whole teaching force of MCS.
After the MCSTC Officers took their oath of office, Cera reiterated his devotion to exert everything in his power in whatever help he could extend to the school community. He ended his speech with a popular text message that goes, "d2 lang me."
All of us are angels with only one wing and we can fly when we embrace each other. With the renewed commitment of the municipality of Mangaldan to the education sector, we will surely soar to greater heights!
