The Role of a Pencil
Ms. Mary Hope Q. Ayson of Planning & Development Officer of La Carlota City College as the invited guest inspired the graduates as well as their parents and guardians.
Ayson relayed her message through a parable of the importance of a pencil. She said everyone has their own role to play. Some can do many great things. Some can be a stronger person. Some can correct some mistakes. And some can do what's inside themselves.

Humble Beginning of La Carlota SPED
SPED Intellectual Disabled teacher Analyn V. Cadungon told this writer that this SPED school has started from the scratch sometime in 2003 until it has reached what it is today, which it reaps its 5th year of existence and comes up with the first set of graduates.
It is very touching moment to witness the first closing exercises of this kind of education endeavor especially for the special education class for the special persons. As every pupil is receiving his/her diploma and also his/her ribbon for recognition, their parents, their teachers displayed a mixed facial expressions of happiness and sadness. But for the graduates, they are all happy and they enjoy the ceremonies.
People around them have treated them as normal as they are. I like the attitude of those who supported them, who brought them up. They have given them all the opportunities to live, to play, to study as like the normal being.
