“Education changes lives. I know this because I am living proof.”
– Dr. Roniel M. Macatol, Provincial Director, DTI Marinduque
Drawing from his own journey from an OMSC student to a Provincial Director of the Department of Trade and Industry, Dr. Roniel M. Macatol reminded the Class of 2026 that success is not defined by where one starts, but by the knowledge, character, and resilience built through education. He emphasized that OMSC helped shape his ambitions and expand his horizons, proving that education can break barriers and transform lives.
With confidence in the graduates’ potential, he expressed his belief that they, too, are poised to change not only their own futures but also the trajectory of their families for generations to come.
As he ends his speech, he labeled the Batch 2026 as the ‘Diamond Class’ inspiring them not only to shine the brightest, but also to cut through the toughest challenges of time.
