In recognition of his outstanding service and dedication, Mr. Jesus B. Estacio was honored as the Model Teacher 2025 of the Senior High School Department during the University Wide Teachersโ Day Celebration held last October 6, 2025, at the USANT Forum.
In his speech, he highlighted his experience as an educator and the people who made his success possible.
"Teaching is never a solitary dream. It's a shared purpose and collective effort", Estacio said as he started his speech. He then recalled how he was once stopped by guards when entering the University, but now, he was able to stand in front of everyone, embracing his mission and finding not just a workplace, but also a family and purpose.
Estacio then expressed his gratitude to his family, colleagues, students, and to the department who acknowledged his potential and who became his support and inspiration.
He also reminded his fellow educators that their job goes beyond textbooks, as they also nurture students' minds, build character, and ignite dreams.
"This recognition, is a reminder of the profound responsibility we carry. Let us remember, the greatest gratitude we give is not in awards or accolades, but in the lives we touch and the hope we inspire. Together, let us teach not just to impart knowledge, but to light the way for generations to come", he added.
Estacio then ended his speech by sharing a quote stating "We cannot measure success by what we deploy to the unknown, but by how our lives will change."
