Candle Lighting Ceremony
BY Ran-neil Tabanan
(IV-Obsidian Class President)
A year ago, we, as juniors lighted the candles that would signify our beliefs for a brighter year ahead. Now, as we turn over the message of love and hope, we believe that the next batch of seniors will continue the cycle of bonding we have in ourselves.
The coming year wouldn’t be easy and smooth - we got to know that during our stay. You may not always look forward to fun filled days. Fourth year might be stressful and difficult but in the end that’s not what matters. What matters is that you have in yourselves everything that it takes to make you surpass the rifts and troubles ahead.
A candle signifies hope. Despite anything, there is always hope for everything. You can never lose as along as you have the hope that you'll win. We seek to pass that hope to all the juniors who will take our place. Just always believe in yourselves.
We hope that the candles we light today leave a lasting remembrance. May the light from these candles guide you to straight paths in fulfilling your responsibilities, ambitions and dreams. May they always remind you of the legacy we hope to leave behind. That is the message everything can be achieved if you stand and believe as one. We have showed a bond we hope to share with you, as we know that it’ll help you go through what we have in the past traveled. We hope you learn from us - our triumphs and mistakes and with this wisdom, may you have a brighter and fulfilling year ahead.
With these candles, we hope that you will keep alive the things we have taught you. So that next year, you may pass the same legacy we are passing on to you tonight. We have reason to believe you will not fail us.
