According to Habacon, recognizing teacher accomplishments is a necessity because it is an act of gratitude that fosters inspiration and dedication to celebrate teaching as a noble profession.
“The PSHS teachers across the country have worked passionately to perform their duties and collaborated to overcome the birth pains of the stressful transition. They have proven to be the backbone of Pisay education. They are committed to deliver beyond the minimum requirements of service during the COVID-19 pandemic given the difficulties and uncertainties it caused,” said Habacon.
Expressing her appreciation for the support of the PSHS Foundation to the 16 Pisay campuses, Habacon said that throughout these years, the PSHS Foundation has been a staunch ally and supporter of the PSHS System.
The awarding ceremony will be virtual or blended depending on the prevailing situation in November.
