“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remem- ber them for the rest of their lives.” Teachers empower their students with new learnings…learnings that will be their guide, their lighthouse in the storms of their lives and their sun in the highs of their lives. “To teach is to touch lives forever.” The teachers of TIP and teachers everywhere have touched the lives of students in ways they will never be able to measure. This book of essays, Teacher Teacher, pays homage to all teach- ers for having made others better persons, the best in fact that they can be. What greater reward than this, than to be thanked in no uncertain terms, through this book. To Beth, my daughter and the president of TIP, and the TIP 2012 50th Foundation Anniversary committee, thank you all for publishing this book as a fitting tribute not just to one teacher, my husband, chairman and founder of TIP, Engr. Demetrio A. Quirino Jr., but also to all the teachers whom we remember and honor with these essays—indeed, to teachers everywhere.
Dr. Teresita U. Quirino Vice Chairman Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP)
