The celebration wrapped up with tributes and gifts presented to the faculty and personnel from the SorSU administration, Supreme Student Council, special organizations, and major/minor organizations.
Muli, isang maalab na pagbati sa lahat ng bayaning guro ngayong Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Tagapagturo! Mabuhay ang mga SorSUenong guro!
Let us make it our daily mission — and not just during a one-day celebration — to constantly honor our educators as modern-day heroes who have dedicated their lives to the noblest profession, and recognize their profound impact on shaping students’ lives and building the future of our nation.
