Senator encourages teachers to teach good values to students

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s message highlights the crucial role of teachers in shaping the future of the Philippines. He emphasizes the lasting impact of education on the development of the country, comparing students to seeds and the school environment to soil. His statement, “Whatever ang itanim n’yo ngayon, ‘yan ang Pilipinas, 30, 40 years from now,” stresses the long-term effects of current educational practices.

Cayetano draws a parallel with Singapore’s success, attributing it to the country’s focus on education rather than other sectors like finance or health. He encourages Filipino teachers to actively communicate their needs to the Senate and other government bodies, underlining his commitment to supporting the education system in the Philippines. His message is a call to action for educators to play a pivotal role in nurturing the right values and attitudes in the youth, thereby influencing the nation’s future trajectory.
