He stated that one of his priorities under his administration is Education for All, “Ang number one gyud nako nga agenda sa akong pag-serbisyo sa katawhan mao gyud ang edukasyon. Karon, giingon nako sa mga Sangguniang Bayan ug sa atong mga heads of office nga ang number one agenda nato is Education for All. Gusto nako ang atong mga kaigsuonan, ang atong mga kabataan maka eskwela gyud.” He also shared his experiences during his school days growing up poor and how he struggled but pursued education despite the challenges he faced. This underlined the commitment of Mayor Quiño to prioritize education and ensure that all members of the community have access to quality learning opportunities, thus the ALS program.

The event marked the culmination of the hard work and efforts put in by the learners and their dedicated ALS teachers/implementors. These learners have triumphed over various challenges and obstacles throughout their educational journey, and this graduation celebration stands as a testament to their strength and resilience.
