Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, parents, friends, and students, it is with
great pleasure and honor that I stand before you to introduce our distinguished guest
speaker for our Senior High School Ball.
This speaker I am referring to is a man with an astounding personality, magnified
through ripples of opportunities in life. Let’s talk about his education, first. His learning
journey is marked by his commitment to schooling and academic quality, graduating from
Curva Elementary School when he was in his 6th grade and at (name of school) when he
had his secondary level. He continued his pursuit of knowledge at the University of the
Philippines-Baguio City, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences with his
major- Social Anthropology and minor-Philosophy in the year 2012.
Howbeit, his thirst for knowledge didn't stop there. He delved into the
complexities, earning six units in his Master of Asian Studies at the University of the
Philippines Open University year 2016, and embraced the challenging path of legal
studies, earning ten units in the Bachelor of Law at Saint Louis University year 2015.
Furthermore, he equipped himself with the necessary teaching credentials, completing
18 units of Certificate in Teaching Secondary level with his specialization in social science
at Easter College.
This man’s academic pursuits and dedication to excellence have taken him to
renowned institutions worldwide as well. He actively participated in the Harvard Project
for Asian and International Relations at Harvard University and in the International
Research Forum on the Philippines at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, where
he not only participated but also presented his pride as an Ilocano and a Filipino at the
same time.
In addition to his professional achievements, our guest speaker is actively engaged
in various activities and outreach programs, showcasing his leadership qualities. He led
the "Uray Sikami" Donation Drive for Flood Victims in Cagayan Valley last November
2020 to February 2021 and actively involved himself in the "Education for Citizenship:
Understanding the Twin Concept of Autonomy and Federalism in the Philippines."
This personage is a living testament of shared blessings. His role as a faculty
member at Saint Louis University from 2013 to 2021, as a Lecturer and Reviewer from
2017 to 2021 at Colledge Review Center, and as a Language and Cultural Facilitator with
the US Peace Corps from June to September 2018, underscores his passion for shaping
the minds of the next generation.
Concerning all of these, he answered the calling of the Pamplonenos for a yes-nayes leader who could empower others too. This is why without a doubt, he started
reaching out and loving the people. Currently, he is serving as a Sangguniang Bayan
member of our hometown, rendering a true, committed, and commendable leadership.
Certainly, this speaker I am welcoming up on stage, will effectively communicate
to us, especially to our star students that this SHS ball is a stepping stone to their future
endeavors and a symbolic transition of their academic journey and personal growth.
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in extending a warm welcome to a
distinguished individual, whose vast experiences and insights are sure to inspire and
resonate with us tonight…. the one and only, Honorable Bryan Yague Delos Reyes!
