00:00 [music]
00:05 A kindergarten pupil was caught by the netizens' eyes
00:10 because of her brazenness in her graduation speech.
00:13 And a grandmother in Camarinas, Surang,
00:16 returned home with her family
00:18 after graduating from senior high school.
00:20 Let's watch.
00:22 [music]
00:25 It's graduation season.
00:27 That's why 70-year-old Lelia Caliao of Camarinas, Surang,
00:32 is all smiles.
00:34 But she's not only proud of her grandchildren's march,
00:36 but she's also proud to be on stage
00:38 for her senior high school diploma.
00:40 I'm happy because I achieved my dream.
00:44 My only dream is to get a diploma.
00:49 [music]
00:52 According to her, she only finished third year high school
00:54 because of financial problems.
00:56 In 2021, she returned as a grade 10 student
00:59 through the Alternative Learning System.
01:02 And to her success,
01:03 her biggest supporters are
01:05 11 children and 31 grandchildren.
01:10 I'm proud of her because she still managed to get up
01:14 even though we're only two
01:18 until her last stage of her high school journey.
01:23 But her education is not yet over for Lola Lelia.
01:26 Because of her hard work,
01:28 she was able to finish her college to become a teacher.
01:31 There's no age limit.
01:33 If you want to study,
01:35 if you want to achieve your dreams or goals in life,
01:41 there's no limit.
01:43 Age is just a number.
01:45 For the 10 senior citizens
01:47 who finished elementary and high school in Nueva Ecija,
01:50 they are Lola Laureta de la Cruz
01:53 and Lola Lolita Simula, both 80 years old.
01:56 The reason why they were not able to get a formal education
01:59 is because of poverty.
02:01 So, they were given the chance to study
02:04 and they didn't hesitate.
02:06 And aside from the diploma,
02:07 the 10 senior citizens also received the Model of the Youth Award.
02:11 From the young at heart who finished,
02:14 let's go to the literal young
02:17 who participated in the graduation speech.
02:19 Good afternoon everybody.
02:21 To all who are beloved ideas.
02:24 The netizens explained the speech of the 6th year
02:27 kindergarten pupil, Maverick Cyrus Pelayo from Isabela.
02:31 He went to IDES and he didn't read anything.
02:34 I really, really enjoyed going to school.
02:37 And thank you to all my teachers.
02:39 The teachers and visitors were amazed
02:42 at Maverick's heartfelt message.
02:45 To my classmates and friends,
02:47 I hope to see you in the next school years
02:50 as we continue to study hard for a brighter future.
02:55 To my mommy, daddy, my mom, Lola, my kuya and atin,
03:00 tita and titos,
03:02 thank you for the love and support you have given me.
