Melchor, Espiritu Outstanding Demo-Teachers

Marciano Melchor, Jr. of Kalalake National High Schol and Edwina Espiritu of Olongapo City National High School has been awarded Most Outstanding Demo-Teachers last February 20, 2008 at the Olongapo City Convention Center (OCCC).

City Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr., Senator Richard Gordon and Department of Education (DepEd) Superintendent Dr. Ligaya Monato personally handed to Melchor and Espiritu a plaque of recognition and P2,000.00 worth of cash prize for being the Most Outstanding Demo-Teachers.

In their Demo-Teaching, the two (2) teachers featured the life story of James L. Gordon, Sr. as a tribute in the 41st death anniversary and martyrdom of the latter.

Melchor and Espiritu participated in the commemorative program held last February 20 by demonstrating their winning teaching strategies, role-playing for Espiritu and video presentation for Melchor. Earlier, Espiritu and Melchor already performed their demo-teaching last February 6 and 8 respectively.

DepEd annually takes part in commemorative activities for the death anniversary of James L Gordon, Sr. in recognition of his contributions paving the way to what is Olongapo today.
