United Nations Celebration
To our beloved principal, Mr. Robert E. Guttierrez, my fellow teachers, students, visitors, everyone, a very pleasant afternoon to all of us. On this 31st day of October 2014, we are gathered altogether here in this place to celebrate a very special day for the world, especially those countries that are members to this organization including the Philippines.

Furthermore, no single leader, country or institution can do everything. But each of us, in our own way, can do something.

Days from now, the human family will welcome its seven billionth member. Some say our planet is too crowded. But we are seven billion strong. The world has made remarkable progress since the United Nation. We are living longer. More of our children survive. More and more of us live at peace, under democratic
