Honestly, looking back to when you all first walked into my classes, I wasn't entirely sure whether we were going to make beautiful music together or if I was going to need a very long vacation. But today, looking at you all dressed in your caps and gowns, I could not be prouder.

To the BCAED Graduating Class of 2026: You Actually Made It!

Four years. Honestly, looking back to when you all first walked into my classes, I wasn't entirely sure whether we were going to make beautiful music together or if I was going to need a very long vacation. But today, looking at you all dressed in your caps and gowns, I could not be prouder.

This batch holds a truly special, unrepeatable place in my heart. You aren't just a graduating class to me; you are a class of pioneers.

When we look at the Baybay City String Orchestra, we are looking at a legacy that you helped build from the ground up as its founding members. To my Koro Kinetika alumni, thank you for lending your voices, your pitch (mostly), and your boundless energy when we were just getting things off the ground.

But your trailblazing didn't stop on the stage. You are officially the historic first batch of BCAĔd Art Apprenticeship students to bravely pack your bags and venture outside the region to work with our elite industry partners. Not to mention, you're the legendary crew that survived and thrived during our very first educational tour!

We have truly been through it all together: The endless rehearsals where "one last time" never actually meant one last time. The long travels, the excitement of exploring new artistic spaces, and the sheer determination to represent our institution with excellence. The chaotic moments where someone definitely forgot their sheet music... or music stand, or tuned a string just a little too sharp, but we still managed to make it sound like art.

In your fierce determination to master your craft, you didn't just learn how to play and teach music, you learned how to live it. You pushed the boundaries of what a student could achieve, and in doing so, you pushed me too, I want you to know that over these past four years, I learned just as much from you as you did from me. You taught me a deeper level of patience, gave me fresh inspiration, and reminded me daily why I chose this path.

As you step out of the university and into your own classrooms, studios, and communities, carry that same relentless pursuit of excellence with you. Go teach with passion, lead with empathy, and please... (for the love of all things holy), make sure your future students tune their instruments before rehearsal starts.

Congratulations, Class of 2026 a.k.a the IHK Golden Batch! The overture is officially over. Go out there and make some wonderful noise.

With deep pride and admiration, BCAEd Coordinator Maestro Sir Joselle

JOSELLE CAYETANO

BCAEd Coordinator

Watching each of you grow from students into future educators has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding parts of my journey as a teacher. It has truly been an honor to witness your dedication, resilience, and passion as you prepared yourselves for the teaching profession. As you leave the postals of VSU and begin your own journey as Physical Education teachers, always remember that teaching is not only imparting knowledge but also about inspiring learners, promoting lifelong learning'swhere every student feels valued and included.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Teaching you has been both a privilege and a joy. I have every confidence that you will become educators who inspire students to live active, healthy, and meaningful lives. Carry forward the knowledge, skills, and values you have gained, but never lose your passion to keep learning and growing. I wish each of you success, fulfillment, and countless opportunities to make a positive difference. Go forward with confidence, continue to learn, and teach with all your heart.
