Thank You, Teacher.

"The books are important, and so are the pencils, blackboards, and the chairs, but if there are no teachers, who will bear the weight and the responsibility of educating the next generation?"

 

As we celebrate World Teacher's Day, let us all thank the people who made a difference in our lives - our Teachers.

Panalanging Lasalyano

Sa ating paggunita ng Linggo ng Wika, hinihikayat ng De La Salle Philippines na ating baliktanawin ang Panalanging Lasalyano.

Ang pagdarasal ay upang higit nating maunawaan ang kabutihang maidudulot ng pagbabago ng sariling kalooban.
