Recognizing exemplary dedication and unwavering commitment to student development, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) honored Ms. Trisha Mae M. Ramos as this yearโs awardee of the Katangi-tanging Guro sa Larangan ng Pagtuturo during the celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) held at the Gilberto O. Teodoro Multipurpose Center on 29 September.
According to the TAU Human Resource and Management Unit (HRMU), the guidelines and criteria for the said award require that the faculty awardee must have exhibited outstanding performance in the area of instruction, as demonstrated by expertise and depth of knowledge in the subject matter, effective teaching strategies, dedication to service and fostering meaningful student relationships, quality and quantity of instructional materials developed, professional growth and development, pedagogical competence, and a high level of commitment to service, fairness, courtesy, and strong interpersonal connections with co-workers and supervisors.
With a remarkable score of 95.975%, Ms. Ramos excelled in all the aforementioned criteria and was awarded the title Katangi-tanging Guro sa Larangan ng Pagtuturo 2025, emerging ahead of four other nominees.
For Ms. Ramos, teaching has always gone beyond the delivery of lessons. Just like her students, she was also inspired by her former teacherโan influence that led her to pursue teaching. In an interview with the Information Unit (IU), she proudly shared that, as of this writing, she is celebrating her 10th year of passionate and joyful teaching.
She began her teaching journey in a private school for two years, continued to inspire more learners in the Department of Education (DepEd) for four and a half years, and is now in her third and a half year of service at TAU.
Throughout her career, Ms. Ramos has consistently embraced innovative approaches to instruction and integrated real-world applications that make learning meaningful and engaging. Among her contributions are the following:
l Regional Outstanding Mathematics Teacher (S.Y. 2018โ2019)
l Regional Validator and Resource Speaker in DepEd Region III
l Instructor of Mathematics and Professional Education (ProfEd) subjects in both graduate and undergraduate programs
l International and local speaker in Mathematics and Education
l Peer Reviewer for a Scopus-indexed journal publication
She also serves as the current Chair of the Curriculum and Assistant Principal of the TAU Laboratory School.
Her colleagues admire her balance of professionalism and empathy, while her students describe her as someone who believes in their potential even when they doubt themselvesโa testament to her enduring impact on young lives, just as her own teachers once inspired her.
โTaos-puso po akong nagpapasalamat sa karangalan na ito, lalo na po sa tiwala na ibinigay sa akin. Lubos ko pong ikinatutuwa ang pagkilala sa aking sakripisyo at pagmamahal sa pagtuturo. Lalo ko pa pong paghuhusayan para sa bayan at para sa mga bata,โ she expressed.
โInaalay ko po ito sa aking pamilya, sa TAU-CED, students, sa aking better half, at lalo na sa Poong Maykapal,โ she added.
โLagiโt laging magsisilbi para sa ating unibersidad at kolehiyo. Maraming salamat po," Ms. Ramos concluded.
In honoring Ms. Ramos, TAU affirms the indispensable role of educators in shaping futures. University President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson emphasized that outstanding teachers do not merely impart knowledge but also transform communities by cultivating values, nurturing resilience, and inspiring lifelong learning.
