Sison, Surigao del Norte - That was the gist of the speech given by the DepEd Assistant Secretary for Legal and Legislative Affairs Tonisito M.C.

Fetalvero and SDN Division Administrative Officer Joel B. Rosales. Umali and his party arrived at around eleven a.m. in the middle of a pupils' program for World Teachers' Day. Citing the important and heroic deeds the teachers have to do, he asked the pupils to say I love you to their teachers in unison.
