Mid-way into the celebration, Nievera rendered the haunting “Tell Me” with Fernandez.In between production numbers and raffle of cash prizes throughout the three-hour show, Gabay Guro ambassador Gabby Concepcion detailed the seven pillars of learning that has been empowering teachers across the country.Fernandez, Nievera with Regine Velasquez, Lani Misalucha, Ogie Alcasid, Jed Madela, Klarisse de Guzman, Jona, Jaya and Randy Santiago concluded the celebration with their production number, as they rocked the studio with Sampaguita’s “Bonggahan” and The Dawn’s “Salamat.”Cash prizes, laptops and tablets were given away to lucky winners. Five teachers won P50,000 each and another five were given P100,000 each. The teacher who won P500,000 was Alita Babagay from Daet, Camarines Norte, while Mary Ann Canusa from Cabuyao, Laguna won the Cherry Tiggo car.The teachers were given tribute anew for all their hard work and sacrifices, with this year’s theme, “Digitalization: Transitioning to a Better Normal.” The show was streamed live via Gabay Guro’s Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
