PLDT Gabay Guro Grand Gathering 2014

Happy Teachers Month to all Ma’am and Sir ♥ 

Teachers are like second parents. They teach, they lead, and they inspire. They shape our minds and help us to recognize our talents and goals. Teachers play an important role in success. We should be proud of our teachers and reward them for their ­success. They are the cornerstone of our nation’s future and the people whom we trust to bring the lives of our young people to the greatest of their potential.
I salute all teachers, who tirelessly light the lamp of knowledge. For all the hard work and efforts they have put in for educating us and our children. Whether you are a parent or just a ­student, we all owe our teachers. So let us ­reward them and treat them with respect.
I salute PLDT Gabay Guro for paying tribute to our dear teachers and I was pleased that I witnessed that amazing teacher advocacy of the PLDT Smart Foundation (PSF) and PLDT Managers’ Club Inc. as the biggest-ever tribute to teachers in celebrating National Teachers’ Month in this year’s The Gabay Guro Grand Gathering event held at SM Mall of Asia Arena last October 5. 


There were over 20,000 teachers from different parts of the country attended the #PLDTGabayGuroGrandGathering spectacular celebration for free which was highlighted by a throwback concert featuring popular celebrities, including:

2G has been supporting teachers and students who would like to take up the teaching profession for seven years now. All of 2G efforts are aligned with its six pillars, which are:
• Teachers’ Training that presents new modules on Emotional Intelligence and IT Literacy and Sustainability
• Housing and Educational Facilities
• Livelihood Programs; Broadbanding and Computerization of Schools
• Teachers’ Tribute, highlighted by the 2G Grand Gathering.

So far, 2G has awarded around 1,000 scholarship grants to aspiring teachers. It has enabled more than 300 scholars to graduate from its 40 partner schools nationwide. Five of the 2G scholars have continued their quest for higher learning and received Master’s Degree scholarships from the Philippine Women’s University.

In June this year, 2G and PLDT Hong Kong launched a scholarship program for Overseas Filipino Workers’ (OFW) children and dependents. They also sponsored 110 OFW teacher-candidates in their review and venue fees for the Licensure Examination for teachers.

2G and its partners have also donated some 28 classrooms to various public schools in the country, especially those that are located in the calamity-ravaged areas. It was the first organization to build permanent structures in the form of sturdy classrooms after the 7.2-magnitude earthquake that devastated Bohol in 2013. It was likewise one of the first responders in the rehabilitation of typhoon-damaged Leyte.

  1. Such an extravagant event! And the prizes are really really expensive and there were a lot. The winners are so lucky. :) But they deserve it. In fact it's still less than what they have contributed to the community and to our country. Our success in sports, quiz bees, pageants, etc have been influenced by our teachers. Happy teachers' month! :)

  3. this is one of the most memorable day for me, the day i met one of my fave blogger- Ms Rochelle, super bilis lng ung moment pero so happy to meet you mam, ang ganda ganda mo, promise! this was a big celebration in acknowledging our Teachers....though not everyone got their wish to bag one of those big prizes, .... their contribution to our society can not be denied, they honed us to be a better person, they've helped us build our own future, and guided us to be more productive in life..... a reminder that they once and will always be our second parent!
