MANILA, Philippines – That smile could win you P250,000.

Teachers, school officials and other personnel should start the school year with a smile to encourage a happy atmosphere in the classroom, the Department of Education (DepEd) has said.

The DepEd has partnered with Cebuana Lhuiller Insurance Solutions to encourage school participation in the happiness initiative called Wear A Smile Campaign, an effort to find the “Happiest Pinoy” and encourage the rest of the nation to be happy every day.

“To start the school year in high spirits, all school personnel are encouraged to be in a positive disposition and to wear a smile when they report for the opening of classes on June 4 and the days that follow,” said Education Secretary Armin Luistro.

In a memorandum, Luistro enjoined DepEd regional directors, division chiefs and the heads of public and private elementary schools to “ensure the success of the campaign.”

The DepEd will conduct the search for the Happiest Pinoy at the school level on June 4-8, at the division level on June 11-15 and regional level on June 18-22.

The contest is open not only to school personnel but to all Filipinos of legal age and to groups or organizations registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nominations may be submitted until July 15 through the campaign’s website, www.happiest-pinoy.com.

The winner will be selected according to the following criteria: A constantly cheerful face and optimistic outlook, proven ability to rise above life’s challenges and a positive impact on the lives of others.

A panel of nine judges, among them, Luistro, CNN 2009 Hero Efren Peñaflorida, former Sen. Leticia Ramos Shahani and former Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri, will pick the winner from 10 finalists in September.

The Happiest Pinoy will win a trophy and P250,000 while finalists will each receive P25,000 and trophies. Tarra Quismundo

MANILA, Philippines – Start the school year with “a positive disposition” and “wear a smile.”

This is what Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Armin Luistro wants public school teachers and administrators to do when school classes begin on June 4.

As an added inducement to make smiling a habit in school, the DepEd says it is a partner of the “Search for the Happier Pinoy” contest launched by the Cebuana Lhuiller Insurance Solutions (CLIS).

Luistro issued DepEd Memorandum No. 85 series of 2012 to Regional Directors, Schools Division/City Superintendents, and Heads of Public and Private Elementary and Secondary Schools which announced the “Wear a Smile Campaign” and “Search for the Happiest Pinoy” contest.

“To start the school year in high spirits, all school personnel are encouraged to be in a positive disposition and to wear a smile when they report for the opening of classes on June 4 and on the days that follow,” Luistro said in the memo.

DepEd is supporting the “Search for the Happiest Pinoy.”

“The campaign aims to put schools in a cheerful atmosphere and at the same time influence the pupils and students to look forward to good days in their classes,” Luistro said.

The Search is open to all Filipinos of legal age and of good moral character, who reside in any part of the country, and groups of organizations registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“There will be two slots for the top 10 finalists allotted for the happiest teacher and student,” Luistro said.

Cash prize and trophies await the “Happiest Pinoy” winner and runners up to be presented on September 25.

The DepEd chief said school heads will have primary responsibility for ensuring the success of the “Wear a Smile” campaign.

“Likewise, the regional directors, schools division/city superintendents and supervisors shall carry out the campaign in their respective offices and monitor its conduct and schools in their respective areas,” he said.

Earlier, the “Smile” directive gained mixed reactions from teachers groups claiming that this is “non-sense” given all the perennial problems such as shortages in classrooms, teachers, books and sanitary facilities that public school students and teachers face every time a new school year begins.

However, DepEd maintained that the directive only aims to put both teaching and non-teaching personnel of the Department in a “positive disposition” and make the school environment conducive to learning especially for younger students.

 

Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions is an affiliate company of Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop, which is managed by the PJ Lhuillier Group of Companies led by Ambassador Philippe Jones Lhuillier as chairman, Jean Henri Lhuillier as president and CEO, and Andre Diago Lhuillier as vice president.

Patients from the Pediatrics, Surgery, and Otorhinolaryngology departments were very thankful not only by the numerous gifts but also by the number of visitors who supported the project. Kids and adults alike were delighted with a surprise visit from clowns provided for by the Team Foundation.
