Gabay Guro holds a back-to-back teachers’ tribute this year that culminates in a spectacular ABS-CBN production featuring the country’s world-class singers and performers all on one stage.
Billed “Pagpupugay at Pasasalamat Kay Ma’am at Sir,” the star-studded event also showcases excitingly huge raffle prizes as it streams live on Oct. 14, 1 p.m. from Dolphy Theater inside the ABS-CBN compound to Gabay Guro’s Facebook page and Youtube Channel. It comes on the heels of the highly-successful Teachers’ Day celebration called “Together4Teachers” held last October 5 at the Father Saturnino Urios University in Butuan City, Caraga Region.
The grand teachers’ tribute on Oct. 14 brings back the queens of local music, film and television – Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez – on stage, along with high-calibre performers headlined by Ogie Alcasid, Jona, Klarisse, Bituin Escalante and other ABS-CBN performers who all share the same heartfelt respect for the Filipino teachers and their contribution to nation building. While the venue itself will only accommodate 250 lucky pre-drawn teachers, the online event on the Gabay Guro FB page is expected to reach across the country to millions of online viewers. All registered attendees, whether onsite or online, will also get a chance to win fabulous prizes, including a Chery Tiggo 2 PRO, up to P500,000 in cash, a Devant TV, Penshoppe and Lyf Hotel Gift Certificates, Potencee Vitamins from Pascual Laboratories, Conzace and Forti-D from Unilab, and many more packages from 555 Tuna, Relumins: Your Beauty Revealed, Katinko Oil & Ointment, Aromagicare Magical Aroma, Health care Mega app- mWell, Smart and PLDT Home.
Steadfast donor to Gabay Guro for the past ten years, United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI) has generously donated a Chery Tiggo as grand raffle prize for the Grand Gathering for the past several years.
Now on its 16th year, Gabay Guro is the flagship education program of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), Metro Pacific Investments Foundation (MPIF), and PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) in partnership with the PLDT Managers’ Club Inc.
Gabay Guro chairperson Chaye Cabal-Revilla shares that this year’s grand gathering theme, “Pagpupugay at Pasasalamat kay Ma’am at Sir,” is all about honoring our teachers for their continued service and sacrifices for the Filipino youth.
“We should really stop calling them unsung heroes, and instead, always recognize and respect how they have touched our lives with their unwavering passion to teach. The Gabay Guro Grand Gathering is our heartfelt gesture of gratitude to all our teachers, and we hope that they look forward to this annual event just as much as we enjoy organizing it and bringing it to them,” she said.
MPIC CEO and Gabay Guro chair Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) extends his congratulations to our teachers on National Teachers Month. “Our teachers and educators,” he says, “give hope and ignite a new beginning for our students. We thank them for all that they do, and assure them that we are with them in their journey as educators. Together we shall all rise as a better, greater, and stronger Philippines.”
